Sinister Magic: An Urban Fantasy Dragon Series

Death Before Dragons, Book 1

De: Lindsay Buroker

Narrado por: Vivienne Leheny

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin.

When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently.

This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

That changes when my boss is afflicted with a mysterious disease, a government agent starts investigating me, and a godforsaken dragon shows up in the middle of my latest job.

I’ve taken down vampires, zombies, and ogres, but dragons are way, way more powerful. And it doesn’t look like this one is going to like me.

Worse than that, he wants to use his magic to compel me to do his bidding, as if I’m some weak-minded minion.

That’s not going to happen. I’d die before being some dragon’s slave.

But if I can’t figure out a way to avoid him, save my boss, and get rid of the government spook, I’m screwed. Or dead. Or screwed and dead. And that’s never comfortable.

Pick up Sentient Magic today to see if I make it. Even if you don’t care about me, I promise the tiger is cool.

So good!!!

This was excelent! Great story and charachters. Narrarator did a great job with the voices. Listening to book 2 now. 😀

ANOTHER AWESOME DRAGON'S TALE!!!

LOVED the DRAGON BLOOD series so wanted more. I wondered how DEATH BEFORE DRAGONS set in modern Earth's time would work against the previous story sdt on a more arcane plain ... I was hooked after first chapter and am starting next book NOW!

Took a long time to understand the storyline ....

... but in will to try the next in the series to see if the story picks up and gets better.

I Love This Story!!!

I finished this book sooo fast! I couldn't stop listening! Just bought the second book and looking forward to this entire series.

Where is the next installment of this series?

Based on a recommendation by a friend I read this book. I have read other Lindsay Buroker books, but this was held my attention and I found myself easily slipping into the story of Val a Half Elf. She is a bounty hunter of sorts woking for the US government hunting magical beings with an assortment of magical weapons, which includes a magical tiger.

The voice of the narrator, Vivienne Lehen, was a perfect match for the book in terms of the main character Val, the male characters, and the magical beings including the tiger. I found myself losing the sense of time passing because I was so engrossed by the story and carried along by the narration.

There are a great deal of magical characters, none more facilitating than an other worldly male dragon.

My quetion is: When will the next book be available?

Great Read!
