About this listen

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

After seeing her maybe-mobster boss murder a guy, Delaney James assumes a new identity and pretends to be a mail order bride. She finds her groom-to-be living in a town that celebrates Halloween every day. Weird. But not as weird as what she doesn't know. Her groom-to-be is a 400-year-old vampire.

Hugh Ellingham has only agreed to the arranged setup to make his overbearing grandmother happy. In 30 days, whatever bridezilla shows up at his door will be escorted right back out. His past means love is no longer an option. Not if the woman's going to have a future. Except he never counted on Delaney and falling in love for real.

Too bad both of them are keeping some mighty big secrets....

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town where Halloween is celebrated 365 days a year. The tourists think it’s all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better. Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs and all.

I think Delaney is a wonderful character and Hugh is charming and sweet. Their budding romance runs into a small problem when the mob boss that Delaney is on the run from tracks her down, however being surrounded by supernatural friends has it’s plus side.

This is a fun, well written, supernatural, cozy mystery. The first of the Nocturne Falls series.

I love a good supernatural cozy mystery.. got one!

I couldn't put it down specially as I couldn't pick up my previous book & took me ages to finish. I finished this one in record time and I even found some chapters hilarious 😂 well worth reading 👍🏼

Good fun, worth a listen but I found it a little slow at times. Not enough to put me off and it was definitely enjoyable enough to distract me from my boring tasks.

A light easy listen and I'll be on to book 2 shortly.

Good fun, worth a listen but...

As a fan of Molly Harper and the world she created for magical characters, I found this story by Kristen Painter enjoyable and fun to listen to. Kristen has created her own world for her magical characters and we meet some of them in this book and I'm looking forward to seeing them appear in future stories. B J Harrison does a great job of narrating the story and really brings the characters to life.

Fun start to a new series

If you could sum up The Vampire's Mail Order Bride in three words, what would they be?

Very amusing indeed

What other book might you compare The Vampire's Mail Order Bride to, and why?

Some of Katie Mcallister books same kind of humor and adventure.

What about B.J. Harrison’s performance did you like?

Good speed of reading, and good voices.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not really, all good , all the normal ups and downs in an adventure.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book it kept my interest all the was through and I will be listening to the next one as soon as it comes out in audio.

Kristen Painter is a new-to-me author but someone who I will definitely read more of. I loved her writing style, finding this book very easy to read. I enjoyed all the characters that Ms Painter created, the town of Nocturne Falls was inspired and I loved the plot and its twists and turns that we were taken on.

I downloaded the Audible version of this book and was impressed with B.J. Harrison's performance; the pace of his narration was just right and I enjoyed his vocal variances for the dialogue.

There is absolutely no offensive content within these pages - language, violence or sex - and so I can recommend it to lovers of charming, paranormal romance tales that enjoy a sprinkling of humour and a happily ever after ending of any age.

Well written but very slow.
Characters were believable and relatable but I had worked out the ending a 1/3rd of the way though.
