It's a sci-fi / horror title with a modern militant church unit (Templars) hunting vampires.
What is the sci-fi element in that?

IMHO, moden-day vampire hunting falls into the Urban Fantasy category, which is an off-shoot of the overall Science Fiction genre. No matter how you slice it, still free.

Yeah, free's good.
But I object to the sf label unless the vampires were created through biotech or the knights are hunting them with energy weapons.

Got it. I went into the live chat and they applied a credit in order for me to get the book for free.

Good

Until they get it fixed, we'll have to get a rep to apply the credit.

This is still free, but in addition Audible has added the sequal! This time it's "Whodunnit? Murder on Mystery Island," still by Anthony Zuiker. While this ties into (by title and theme, not content) the new ABC television series, you'll not need to watch the show to enjoy the book or vice-versa. The download can be found here.

Enjoy!

This is GraphicAudio's second free short story offering. The original, "This Cleansing Fire" by Joseph Nassise, can be found here and is still free. It's a sci-fi / horror title with a modern militant church unit (Templars) hunting vampires.

Enjoy!

What I wonder is how I'm ever going to find time to listen to all the freebies I've already accumulated.

I don't think it'll ever be possible. I thought I was doing great this weekend - I finished 27 hours over about 6 titles while on a trip. Then, I get home and what do I find? I got 84 hours of new free titles, and I still have $6 in freebie credits to spend! Does it count if I listen in my sleep?

they gave me the 99 cents back.

and stole the book out of my library. ;(

ETA - called them, they said the book is supposed to be free (even though the page now shows 99 cents at audible, which is why it keeps charging, I suspect; it shows free on the amazon side). so, she put the book back into my library. ... then gave me another $5 credit because of the hassle!
