Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife

De: Deston J. Munden

Narrado por: Matthew Wolf

A heartwarming, magical new novel about an undead orc knight who trades the battlefield for a fresh start in the Necropolis, where opening a restaurant leads to daring adventures, newfound family, and a second chance at life, perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and cozy fantasy tales.

Rottgor is worn out. Literally. Barely held together by dark magic, he has protected the Necropolis for centuries. When he’s forced into retirement, he’s faced with a new challenge: to forge a future guided not by obligation, but by passion.

Following his heart (and stomach), he decides to open a restaurant where the city’s undead and living residents can share food and community. He’s helped in his quest by an unlikely assortment of neighbors, including elves, skeletons, vampires—and a young orphan girl named Astra, whose ancestry, if discovered, could put her and the entire Necropolis in danger. To protect Astra and the life he’s building, Rottgor must face his past and form new alliances built on friendship, loyalty, and love. As comforting as warm pumpkin bread, this gentle fantasy traces how even a dark history can rise into a bright future.

Loved this story

This story was wonderful from beginning to end. This is very well written and was a pleasure to listen to.

Awesome book!

Great story and excellent narration!
I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. The worldbuilding and characters pulled me right in, and the narration brought everything to life beautifully. I can easily see this becoming a movie or TV series one day. Fantastic work Deston! 😊

Loved

A hug in a book, I really enjoyed listening to this, the narrator is one of my favorites. If you loved The House Witch or Legends and Lattes, this is right up your alley.

Cozy Family

I really enjoyed this cozy found family story about second chances. The characters were lovely and I felt invested in their lives. Totally worth the listen. The narrator also did amazing bringing each character to life.

Has it all

It has everything, life, death, love, friendship, enemies, battle, royalty, this is marvelously crafted to entertain and inspire. I truly enjoyed it.

Cozy in the way a cinnamon bun feels on a fall morning after a great vacation.

I loved this book. It has Legends & Lattes vibes, but it stands unique. It's a definite favorite and a yearly reread for me!

A continuous joy I didn’t want to end.

I didn’t want it to end. The story that kept unfolding was endearing and full of clear and present feeling. The action and tenderness were well balanced. I hope it continues in a new adventure.

This warm story is sweet and interesting

The audiobook is also extremely well preformed and gave the story so much depth. If you want to feel cozy and loving vibes, check this story out. Also, protect DJ Munden at all costs!

Story telling

In a world of so little hope to go around, this is a story that reminds the reader that hope is still out there. That we can make life over at any stage of our journey. That good people are out there to be found. That kindness can change the world one small act at a time. That history can inform us but does not have to define us. That evil is often overturned by love. Gorgeous world building. Beautiful characters. A safe, cozy world to exist in, if you just need to break bread with an Orc and his friends. Thank you, Mr. Munden.
