Grave Situation

He’s not the hero they deserve, but he’s the hero they’ve got.

No, seriously. Talon wants to know what he did to deserve this. What would make a sentient rock decide that he of all people should be the one to save the world from zombies? That’s right. Zombies. Because apparently a higher power decided that teaching magic to teenagers wasn’t enough of a challenge.

With a ridiculously attractive healer (who may or may not hate him), his sister (who he miiiight have a forbidden telepathic link with), a sentient god-like rock (that can only communicate via yes/no vibes), a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse by his side, he just might be able to save the world.

Or die trying.

Keep your tissues close.

As they try to work out how to find the champion, tragedy occurs and one of them dies. All isn’t lost and they do figure it all out.

I laughed and snickered over the characters.
I really loved this book, even though it made me ugly cry.


The audio is just as awesome as the ebook, I loved every second of listening to it.

Brilliant, Witty, and uproarious hilarious

I love everything about this story. The world building is phenomenal. The mc is snark personified. The story is tightly written with masterful word-smithing. GET IT NOW!!

World building

This is a long book that doesn't feel long. The emotional moments are strong but not overwhelming. It's a non-smutty book with a great storyline all the way to the end. It is truly a great book.

I laughed and leaned about love

This book was a fantastically wonderful adventure and I loved the sweet love that was between the MC and the healer. I loved the adventure and new found family which was the kind of found family I yearn for in my own life.Its also made me realize the things we do for what we think is love but realize to late that’s not what love is and that true sacrifice is love and not sacrifice that’s convenient and easy.

fantastic. hilarious. great journey.
