Get Smoked or Go Home

The Warrior, Book 1

By: Martha Carr, Michael Anderle

Narrated by: Amanda Friday

It's been so long, Warrior . . . I can feel you . . .

Is Idina Moorfield going crazy or has an ancient magic found its source?

Her family says she's not a true Moorfield and will never be good enough for the family business. Sometimes what looks like the worst day ever is the beginning of our best adventure.

Idina takes that first step into a new life and gets the hell away from them to forge her own future.

But her calling is the one thing they are the most against. She joins the military just like Uncle Rick. The other family outcast.

What is everyone in the Moorfield family so afraid of?

A new Warrior is about to find out the true roots of the Moorfield name. Nothing will ever be the same.

Writing

I love the series of books and it was fabulous to be able to listen to them on audible

Good Story Totally wrong about the Army.

First as a career NCO we are never called sir. We work for a living. A drill Sargent is called drill Sargent and nothing else.

A Good Beginning

A good beginning that has me looking forward to the series. I hope she runs into her family. I’d like to see their reaction to her new career.

Damn!! I knew that Boot Camp was Tough, But Wow!!

My son was in the US Army for 13yrs and talked about boot camp, but until this book I really had only a small idea of what they go through, not sure that I could have made it at his age. The amount of detail in this 1st book is amazing. I love the MC Moorfield and her no nonsense approach to her Stupid Family Traditions. Moorfields ability to observe and decipher peoples body language and actions make this story that much more interesting. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Hooked

I went through army basic training. This brought back memories. Will be downloading the next audio now .

Wasn’t horrible

So it wasn’t horrible but it got to be pretty predictable and very drawn out.. one of the parts that killed me was when it would go to 3rd person right in the middle of a first person monologue.. like “I couldn’t just stand there”, the young girl stood her ground, “you can’t do this”…. and gramps and her life givers (bc they aren’t real parents) need a boot to the ass like no ones business..

Daily life of a recruit

Well written story about not much. MC gets away from her restrictive family and goes through basic training. Vague reference to weird talent that you learn little about. No real challenges, no real conflict. Will not continue with the rest of the series as it might take 3 books before anything really happens of interest.

I knew better

maybe just get the second one and skip this one cuz this is just basic training not worth it couldn't even finish it

Has a certain charm, but…

Takes WAY TOO MUCH TIME (I’m 3/4 of the way through it and it’s still not there) to get ti anything even remotely resembling the “urban fantasy” it is purported to be.

Except for the most obscure reference to a presumably magical element, it is focused on truly uninteresting (if decently written) fully mundane experiences.

Military edu

Good if you want to understand what military basic training is like. Very play by play. Not much else went on in this book
