Little Death Bringer, Book 1

By: Catherine Banks

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

Marin doesn't want to be a lady. She wants to kick ass and take names. But that'll be hard to do if she gets captured by an unknown enemy...

Being raised by the King and Queen of the Elves has given Marin quite a diverse background. Burdened by her humanity and femininity, she must push herself and train every day to hold her own against the elves around her. But while Marin wants to be the first girl to graduate Macon Academy as a mercenary, her mother wants her to be a lady. And an attempt by an unknown enemy to kidnap Marin is not helping her case. Between the kidnapping attempt, growing feelings for her best male friend, and now a fiery magic growing within her, Marin's life is changing in ways she can't understand. If she doesn't get a grasp on things quickly, she may lose everything she's fought so hard to gain. If she survives at all.

Fans of Kristin Cashore and Sarah J. Maas will love this fantastical adventure of passion, love, and loyalty.

A highly impressive start to this series - a wonderful and great adventure. A brilliant start to this series.

Compelling writing. Great characters. Wonderful and magical story.

It was such a good read that I completely forgot all of my responsibilities and just stayed in this world with the MC.

The narrator had such a fantastic job of giving life to these characters - so amazing!

Interesting

It bounced some at the end that made it hard to follow but overall this was a great book one I will be looking for #2

Mercenary

I loved the narrator. She did an excellent job. The story was interesting a couple things were kind of aggravated. She kept saying her female feelings. The training was great but even though it's YA I believe the immaturity is a little overboard. It was very funny.
