Leveling up would be fun...

If it weren't so deadly.

Eve is a survivor. Kidnapped and genetically enhanced, she wakes in an alley with the ability to level up. As a Player, her life now belongs to the Game.

Deadly Trials offer fantastic and powerful prizes, but as she fights against both alien monsters and other Players, Eve knows she would do anything to escape the Game.

She may have to risk more than just her life to gain the power to control her own destiny...

Gods of Blood and Bone is the first book in a dark and deliciously violent adventure series that combines science fiction, fantasy, and LitRPG elements. You'll love Gods of Blood and Bone because of the electrifying action, flawed characters, and kick-ass heroine.

Get it now.

good listen.

pleasantly surprised. good world building, well displayed without info dumps. good pacing. good prose. kept me guessing what was actually going on. realistic characters with realistic motivation and interactions. intersting story premise that was well executed. the stats and level progression of the characters aren't very well explained but perhaps next book will lay it out better. really enjoyed the narrator. though she doesnt have a wide vocal range she had a very pleasant voice to listen to and didnt try to push beyond her range creating annoying whiny voices which is a common issue with some narrators. definitely worth a listen.

Fast paced read that keeps delivering

I've read a few LITRPG series and really enjoyed this take on the genre. I really enjoyed the way everything carries over in to "real life". Having a female lead that was a nice change and Natalie Duke does a great job with the voices and tones she imparts in the characters. The end leaves you wanting to read the next book to find out what happens next. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.

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

Fantastic story!!

I loved this book! It wastes no time getting into the story. There are so many unique characters and personalities. I'm also loving the 2nd book in this series. If you are at all interested in this book from reading the blurb, I highly recommend purchasing this book!! "This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

Fine but audio issue

Writing this only to complain about an audio issue in the book. One chapter is missing and replaced with another. I dont remember the exact numbers but 'mental log 4' is missing and is just 'mental log 1' again.

Great but...

If I could break this book into smaller components I'd give the first 75% 5 stars and a glowing review and the last 25% 3 stars. It's not that the last part is particularly bad it's just that the first part is amazing and the second part is average. There is a jarring tone shift partway through the book which creates this discrepancy for me. It starts with the main character fighting for their life in challenges that result in massive casualties for the other participants. She is forced to overcome insurmountable odds. Then suddenly the main character becomes super strong and the threats almost disappear.
Those challenges that they dreaded for most of the book are so trivial that the are summarized in a sentence. Something along the lines of: "We faced a strength based challenge on Tuesday and succeeded."

Then they face the big bad and everything falls in their lap.
