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.

Not bad

The narration is good. The story is okay. The main character is rather dumb and very useless. Figures out he's actively being hunted in a modern with firearms, proceeds to be a useless idiot with 0 skills outside being a basic office worker, fails at research, fails at magic stuff, fails to arm himself in any way, that's a lot of fails for a main character. Needed more time to flesh that fella out and actually make him useful other than being to dong in a relationship.

Great first book in series

I really enjoyed the unique twist on this genre, interesting characters and a fun and light hearted plot line and adventure story

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.
