About this listen

A wizard compelled to kill. A slaughter he vowed to prevent. A murderer who pissed off the wrong guy…

Bib the sorcerer hates how much he loves his job. Cursed by the God of Death to collect lives, he focuses his thirst on snuffing out only lowlife losers and contemptible ass-clowns. But when innocents under his protection are brutally murdered, Bib flips the switch on the ultimate revenge spree.

Bent on obliterating the bum responsible, Bib is more than a little miffed when he discovers the shocking truth about his own degenerate nature. But knowing the type of killer he is inside, the reluctant hero won’t be stopped until he mows down every evil dude in his path.

Can Bib fight his way to redemption before he loses his soul to bloodlust?

Death’s Collector is the first book in the darkly humorous The Death-Cursed Wizard fantasy series. If you like snarky heroes, top-notch magic systems, and epic sword and sorcery, then you’ll love Bill McCurry’s addictive tale.

snarky wizard

This wizard seems like he would get along well with Jim Butcher's Dresden. I appreciate wizards with snark.

Fantastic!

The narration and story line were fantastic. Darkly humerus, well thought out, and adventurous.

background buzz

the recording had a background noise in it that was uncomfortable to listen to. Which is not the performer's fault but still made it harder to listen to for me.

Hard to like character

This was a hard book for me. I wanted to like the story, but it was difficult. The last 10% just seemed like an annoying extension. I am used to anti hero type characters. but Bib was really hard not do dislike. The relentless sarcasm was a bit too much for me too. The explanation of magic was interesting but the gods were too crazy.

Super entertaining!

I took a chance as I hadn’t heard of this author and thoroughly enjoyed each chapter. Witty, funny and bloodthirsty. Looking forward to more!

A hard listen

Too much snark too much Inner dialog.. Too much theatrics And not enough substance for a solid story line. The narrator was very good though considering what he had to work with.

A little different from the norm

Like most first books in a series it was kinda droll starting out but eventually picks up. Humor is mostly dark with gallows humor sprinkled in and lots of creative cursing. I don't think I heard the same insult twice. Story was pretty good with a bit of an emotional trip.

Narrator did a good job setting the dry tone for a lot of the humor.

Great dark sense of humor

I’m now on book 3, in the height of anticipation waiting for book 4. Can’t say enough great about this series. Love the characters and the messes they get into. Realized that this book may not be appropriate while my mother is in the car with me. She kept giving me the side eye. Oops. Will just have to keep it my guilty secret from her!

Good, not great.

I did not hate this book. The story was moderately interesting with a different take on magic. The battle scenes seemed a bit rushed and anti-climactic. However, I was constantly turning volume up and down due to the narrator's voice fluctuations. On top of that, it seemed like throughout the book, there was an echo like he was reading from the bathroom. It was not a deal breaker, but it was close.
