His Death Bringer

The District, Book 1

De: Courtney W. Dixon

Narrado por: Harley Chase

He calls me his dark angel, but I’m merely a killer. A bringer of death.

Luca Davenport: He is my angel, sent to be my death bringer to save me from my tormentors and betrayers—those who sold me into slavery when I was only eight years old. Angel came in with guns blazing and black wings that were made to crush his enemies and envelope me in love. He belongs to me, and I belong to him. We are destined. After he saves me from my captors, we hunt down the remaining men who had abused me for eleven years to make them pay in blood.

Dante Varga: He is a broken boy of no more than nineteen. He sees me as an angel, but I’m simply a killer. An assassin for hire. I can’t save him. I can’t take care of him. There’s no room left in my dying soul to care about someone. Not anymore. But I can’t turn him away either. I should kill him. He’s a witness. But I feel compelled to protect him at all costs. Saving him will either shatter the ice around my heart or destroy me. Either way, Luca is dangerous.

Rabbits and killers

I don’t have the words to describe how amazing Harley Chase did bringing innocent Luca and his dark angel Dante to life. I cried harder than I did when I read the book. The emotions surrounding it all are so much more raw and painful. Oh and rabbit might not say anything but his presence was felt as well

Amazing MM romance

" He called me his dark angel, but he was my angel of light, and I never wanted to see him dimmed." This is first book in the new series. Dante is surprise to find Luca on his last job. So, instead of leaving Luca who see him as his dark angel he brings him home. Luca has been an child sex slave since he was little, now he see Dante as the person who was sent to save him from the darkness he been in. Dante never need anyone but he feels an connection with Luca. He is protected of them. They will found love and light in each other. To see their journey together is heartbreaking, steamy and unexpected twists around every corner. Courtney did an incredible job with Dante and Luca story. Harley Chase is one of the best narrator who brought these characters to life.

You need this, trust me! So good!!!!!!

This book was fantastic! Courtney and Harley are like the MM romance dream team. Courtney writes these amazing stories and then Harley brings them to life. It doesn't get much better than that!

The Firm is one of those series where every single character is fascinating. I love the backstories that we get to glimpse as the plot unravels. Luca and Dante both suffered deeply at the hands of people who should have loved and protected them.

The instant chemistry was clear. Dante and Luca were magic together. I loved everything about them. Dante took this broken needy boy and helped him heal and become the man he was supposed to be. It was really cool to see the growth that Luca went through, amazing!

Harley Chase seems to get better with each book. I love the sound of his voice and how distinct each character is from the others. He is definitely one of my favorite mm romance narrators.

If you love the broken boys and the men that save them, I highly recommend not just this book, but this entire series!

Y’all, This Was A Really Good Start To This Series. I Wanted To Read More Courtney. Dante And Luca Were A Really Good Couple. Luca Was Just A Ball Of Sunshine And So Adorable And Dante Was Just Dark And Brooding And SO Protective And I Loved Them Together, Being So Protective And Loving Each Other. The Side Characters All Intrigue Me So Much And I’m Honestly More Excited For The Rest Of The Series Then Anything😂 So I Cannot Wait To Continue The Series. The Action And Plot Mixed With Romance And Spice Was Also Such A Great Mixture And Was Really Amazing. Definitely Recommend This For All The Dark Romance Girlies With A Great Mixture Of Everything. Courtney, You Are Just AMAZING Girl And You Never Miss And I Cannot Wait To Continue The Series💕🫶

Heed the Trigger Warnings!

Dante is a deadly, well-trained assassin who works for the assassin group "The District". He's somewhat cold and detached until, during a job, he finds a young man who had been kept prisoner since he was a child.

Luca is a 19-year-old man who has been kept prisoner since he was 8 years old, forced into "servitude" for older, rich men. He's been kept as child-like as much as possible, having been kept undereducated and ignorant about the world outside the mansion..Until Dante arrives to carry out a job and stumbles across Luca.

Dante knows he should "end" Luca, but instead decides to save him with the intention of letting him out into the world...until that pesky cold detachment begins to melt.

This book is the first in The District series, each following a different assassin. It has some very very dark subject matter, with heavy emphasis on brutal underage SA and physical, mental and emotional trauma. HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

That being said, Luca is adorable and while you do have to suspend a bit of belief as far as his non-aversion to intimate relations despite his severe se**al trauma, the story is good, with revenge as the main goal. Dante is so sweet to Luca after he thaws, and while cringy (to me) at first, I really loved their relationship by the end of the story.

The secondary characters are great, and we get to know them better in later books.

Harley Chase does an excellent job at the narration, and his Russian and Middle Eastern accents didn't make me cringe, unlike some other narrators do.

superb narration!

This is my favorite Courtney Dixon story, and hearing it narrated was absolutely incredible! I've loved Luca and Dante since the first time I read them, so this was a treat! Harley Chase again does an absolutely fantastic job! His narration of everything I've listened to is so real and authentic, he puts his whole heart into bringing these characters to life! If you've read His Death Bringer, then listening to it is a no brainer. But if you haven't started The District series, then I definitely recommend both the print and audio versions!!

Love it

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narrator was amazing and I enjoyed listening more than reading as the narrator did amazing job on reading this book.

Luca❤️Dante

This was a compelling story, painful for sure, but also with hope and healing. I loved that Dante finds just enough light left in him to make a choice to save Luca that goes again his instincts and his own interests. And that Luca, despite the brutality of his years in captivity, finds the will and strength to trust in his dark savior. His strength is kind of astounding. They build something broken and beautiful together from the most dire circumstances. The narrator has a lot to pull off here, these characters go through it and he was able to bring them to life authentically, excellent job!

great story

I read or listened to this series out of order, but I was never lost. Please make sure to read the trigger warnings before diving in. This is a heavy, intense story with emotional and dark elements.
Dante, an assassin, is hired for a job and unexpectedly encounters Luca, who he initially believes is a child. Against his nature Dante spares him, getting Luca out of the house and dropping him off at a station. But letting go wasn’t that easy.
Wow. What an action-packed, emotional ride. I loved it.
I listened to the audiobook narrator by Harley Chase. He made the story come alive.

Darkness, Revenge, Healing, & Love

I listened to this book over the course of one day - I just couldn’t stop! Harley Chase once again does an amazing job. His narration adds so much to the story and characters.

I’ll admit I started reading The District series out of order (while they are standalones and you could do that. But I would recommend listening/reading in order). That being said, I already had some background about Luca and Dante’s journey. I was not prepared for how emotional it would be coming directly from them. And listening to it took it to another level. I know listening to this book again will hurt but I will definitely be relistening/reading. The happiness and healing at the end is worth all the pain.

Luca and Dante are each other's persons. They balance one another and bring out those emotions & traits that they might otherwise keep hidden away. Around one another they don’t need to put up a mask; they can be themselves. And it is beautiful to see them become comfortable and confident in that. They helped each other heal. 🥹
