One Loan Soul

By: L.B. Carter

Narrated by: Kate Marcin

Book one in the Loan Soul Series, a dark paranormal fantasy with a sardonic twist, is an award-winning, captivating, and darkly humorous listen! Join sassy condemned soul Darcie, her quirky undead, taxidermy sidekicks Dash the fox and Blue the lizard, and broody, mysterious Demon Vin on a hellacious adventure that has listeners laughing out loud, crying out in surprise, and *dying* for more.

Don't sell your soul to the Devil. Take out a loan instead! Darcie Rose is Satan's top Substitute Soul, tasked with temporarily replacing the eager living souls who sign a deal with the Devil. The exchange is a simple one. They receive a Lucifer-facilitated status boost when they return to their body, and Darcie earns a temporary reprieve from Hell. But there are two rules she must abide by if she wants to stay on Luci's good side: 1.) Avoid her former life now that she is an accidental murderess. 2.) Never expose proof of a demonic Hell in the presence of humans. Easy as pudding... until now.

Something has glitched, and Darcie' sent Earth-side without the necessary details of whose body she's inhabiting. Even Hell can't compare to coming face-to-face with her former fiance and taxidermy animals rising from the dead like a macabre puppet show. Can Darcie regain control of a job quickly spiraling out of control? Or will this slip up get her banished to the torturous bowels of Hell.

Book One in Loan Soul Series

Unique, fun and full of chaos! Darcie is easily a loveable character! The authors world, story and characters are amazing! I can't wait till book 2!

Unique storyline laced with humour

I really enjoyed this innovative take on possession and selling your soul to the devil. Darcie Rose worked as a taxidermist when she was alive, but the circumstances of her death have her in Hell working for Lucifer in his soul exchange program. Darcie’s job is to temporarily possess people who have loaned their soul to the devil but when a job goes awry, she ends up with a reanimated fox and a zombie lizard as sidekicks and the Devil’s henchman on her tail. Darcie is sassy, funny and has her hands full dealing with Hell’s petty annoyances, and trying to sort out the mess she finds herself in. This fast-moving story is well written, has an unusual plot, great characters and is thoroughly entertaining. The narration of the audiobook is great, Kate Marcin brings the story to life and gives the characters individual voices that shows their personalities well. I look forward to listening to the next audiobook and seeing where this story will lead next.

Very Unique and Fun!

This is the first book in a new and unique paranormal series. The story starts slow and picks up with a mystery of who is medleying with the soul loan program Darcie has been working for. The main character is funny and outspoken and is trying really hard to do her job to the best of her ability with no guidance.

Narration is well done and brings the story to life.

Darcie has ended up in hell after an accident that took her life. The details about the annoying things that happen to her when she is trying to write a report for her job are hilarious. This book is very entertaining and the more you read the more hooked you get. I love the unusual Zombie animals!

I’m really looking forward to the second book. I have no clue how she will be able to fix the mess she is involved in.

So good!

What happens after death? Well if you’re lucky, you could get a job in the soul loan program, working for Lucifer himself. Things go awry with the program, and Darcie finds herself trapped. Will she be forever stuck in her new Hell-on-Earth situation?

I absolutely love this fun new book by L.B. Carter. The storyline is original and the characters are likable. The humor woven throughout definitely made it even more entertaining.

Kate Marcin really delivered with this performance. She brought out the characters personalities perfectly.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

So fun!

I loved this book! The story is so much fun that I found it easy to binge-listen to.

The concept of this novel is just divine... or should I say, delightfully devilish? Though she may have gone to hell, the protagonist is quite lovable. Her level of hell is full of petty annoyances, which is hilarious. She also have lots of funny personality quirks, like her colorful hair, love of taxidermy, and her habit of mixing up her idioms. This book is full of comedy and cleverness and had me entertained thoroughly throughout!
