Publisher Description
Joss McMillan’s perfect life crashes down the night he witnesses his sister’s murder—at the hands of a vampire. He then finds out his family’s secret heritage: They are part of the Slayer Society, a group whose mission is to rid the world of vampires. Joss is their new recruit. As Joss trains, bent on seeking revenge for his sister, he discovers powers that could make him the youngest, strongest Slayer in history. But there is a traitor in the Society, one whose identity would shake Joss to the core...if the traitor doesn’t kill him first.
The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod is still sinking its fangs into new listeners every day. Now, bestselling author Heather Brewer brings us the other side of the story, from the perspective of Vlad’s former friend turned mortal enemy: vampire slayer Joss McMillan. This is the first in a series of five books that can be listened to alongside Vlad Tod or entirely on their own.

"The first book in Heather Brewer's companion series to her Vladamir Todd books opens on secret society with a sinister prologue which opens onto more bloodshed and tears. But true to Heather Brewer's style, the darker stuff is balanced by occasional light passages (the "renewing your faith in mankind") Also true to her style most of the dramatic action takes place with very little expectation. It's always unexpected and usually without any kind of foreshadowing."

The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill Listener Reviews
-
" Loved it. I'm starting the second one tonight. "
— Andria, 2/19/2014 -
" This series will offer a different perspective into the chronicles of Vladmir Todd. Joss' story provides a good read with some surprising twists and encounters with characters from that series. The continual mention of Cecile's demise and the fact that Joss "cares about people" is crucial information for the reader, but sort of bogs down the story with the repetition of those points. Also that two seasoned Slayers end up dead without putting up much of a fight is a bit hard to swallow. "

" Heather Brewer did not disappoint! It was great to see Joss' character develop. I understand him and Abraham a bit better. Although, I'm not sure I like Abraham. That summer of training was brutal and intense! I can't wait for #2! "

" I liked except for the giant plot holes. "

" Two words. HOLY CLIFFHANGER! "
— Cindy, 10/31/2013 -
" I am very tempted to say that this book was even better that Brewer's Vlad Todd series and it is one of the few books I believe would be incredibly beautifil on the screen. I'm looking forward to Second Chance this fall! "

" Another freebie that I enjoyed. I think I'll read the Chronicles of Vladimir Todd before getting into this series. It's nice to read from a male perspective. I haven't enjoyed a good one since Harry Potter. "
— Elsa, 7/5/2013 -
" I don't know if I'll like it as much as the first series, but so far so good! "
— Stacy, 3/29/2013 -
" Ugh. This book wasn't my favorite-it took forever to get to a storyline and then it just ended right when it got interesting. The characters were believable. I will not read anymore in this series. "
— Celeste, 2/20/2013 -
" Loved it!! Can't wait to read the others. While this first book is quite violent with the training beatings, he is now ready to go after the vampires. "
— Marnie, 8/26/2012 -
" Kind of fun - on a similar level as The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd. "
— Penny, 5/11/2012 -
" I enjoyed it because it is like the male version of Buffy with many of the same things but with some differences. I could not believe that Sirus and his daughter were vampires and no one noticed during the beginning and middle of the book. I am about to read the second one. "
— Austin, 1/26/2012 -
" I think it was a good and interesting book because it was from Vlad's friend/enemies point of view and now we know and understand why he's a slayer. So I give it 3 stars, and I can't wait for the next one to come out. "
— Sara, 12/12/2011 -

" Fantastic book. I am glad I read the other books before I found this one. The other books left you hanging about Joss, but this book answers all those questions. <br/> <br/>I loved this book! "
