First Leash

Leasher, Book 1

De: Charles Bannerman

Narrado por: Hel Rose, Will Rose

Jamie Beckett was just another overworked nobody. Dead end job, crappy apartment, and no way out.

Then he met the bleeding elf in the alley.

Turns out Jamie is a Leasher. One of a rare few born with the ability to bond powerful beings to himself. When he forms his first bond with the beautiful, dagger wielding elf, Lilly, Jamie gets dragged into a divine game where power and survival are all tangled up.

With assassins on his trail, beautiful women piling into his life, and a magical power he barely understands, Jamie will have to learn fast or lose everything.

Spicy, sharp-witted, and fueled by raw magical chemistry, First Leash is a fantasy adventure full of dangerous women, sarcastic banter, and unexpected heart.

more please

I like the performance and the characters. The story is fun and interesting. A great listen with action and spice.

AMAZING

this is such a great book 1 I loved the story and narration so much!

exilent world building

intristing and unique characters, clever and intriguing plot, all around well written story. highly recommend.

Decent

For the genre, which is to say popcorn harem fantasy, this is a solid book. I was actually surprised the author managed some degree of character development for most of the cast in such a short read, given how fast the harem explodes in size. There's also some neat world building, though things get a bit hand-wavy at times. All of that said, if you're looking for a "real" book where the plot stands on its own merit and isn't partially carried by the harem/sex element, this ain't it chief. Otherwise, it's worth trying.

Narration is quite good overall, no complaints.

Please write more

A lot more everything about this was amazing. I wish it was longer. I am hoping to see at least 10 more books. Plenty of action. No inner thoughts. No getting uncomfortable when anything sexual comes up. No 5 minute verbal consent contracts before to willing adults make love. Just ppl being ppl. It was perfect. Felt like it could happen to any of us.

Lacking

Poor world building. The plot and storyline are very lack luster. The magic system is not explained at all and just happens. The female narrator needs works. Overall 2 stars

not even 2 chapters in and straight wemon are gay and the mc has no pride, back bone, is whines all the time pass.

a women who clearly stated like men is into women more then the mc and the 1st love intrest that proclaims she has only ever wanted to be with him is into that woman because of that women what touched her?

the mc is a whiny loser who gets jealous of what other people have and is just following orders and watching movies no self preservation at all.

seeing if I can get a refund this is for you if you like power fantasy about people who don't deserve it. if you find your self at Starbucks arguing about capitalism and wondering why girls don't like you even though your are so nice and progressive this book is a 5 star buy it.
