Shadow Hunter

Rosie O'Grady's Paranormal Bar and Grill Series, Book 1

By: BR Kingsolver

Narrated by: Madeleine Dauer

When my magic manifested at puberty, my parents sold me to the Illuminati. The Order of the Illuminati trained me as an assassin, spy, and thief. But when they sent me to steal a magical artifact that reveals Truth in all things, I discovered that I was working for the Dark and not the Light. The Illuminati trained me well, and paid the ultimate price for their deception.

Thousands of miles away, I landed a job in a quirky little bar. But the scattered remnants of the Order still strive for world domination, and no one leaves the Illuminati alive.

Contains mature themes.

I loved this book!

I absolutely loved this book... starts off interesting on page 1 and continued all the way through. The protagonist is someome with a troubled past but has a heart of gold. In other words, she's flawed but lovable (as a protagonist should be!). The camaraderie with her friends is heartwarming. Pacing was great... action was entertaining... The plot was fun... this just is everything I'm looking for in a book. So glad I stumbed upon it. Can't wait to read the next in the series!

Meh

Welcome to 'Plot convenience' the novel. The story jumps around, and it's difficult to follow. The author writes herself into a corner a couple times, then pushed the magic "Assassin's Training Macguffin" button one to many times to move the plot along.

Pretty good

Straight forward reading with a decent story line. Not focused on how sexy the main character is, which is a full on relief.

Great book

An overall great book. The story is slow at first, but picks up very quick.

I enjoyed this one a lot looking forward to the next one

Looking forward to listening to the next one when I get my next credit hoping it gets better and better

Good.

The start was a bit… meh. The character wasn’t exactly what I thought someone trained as she assumedly was but an interesting juxtaposition if a bit extreme and naïve. Anyway, it seems like a good book series to blow though if you don’t take it too seriously. I still really enjoyed it though. 

A whole new way to think about paranormal activity

It was a good enough story and I did enjoy the idea of this assassin but the prologue could have been part of chapter one or two or three, with not subtracting from the story line. But it did not flow well with the thought process and the author repeated her main character, back ground info. We needed less of that and less of the lady saying over and over just how broke she was and could not escape. Once would have done it. Cute idea though

Good story once it gets moving

This book had a very odd, clunky beginning with the weird description of the Illuminati years. The story really doesn't begin, get moving or interesting until after that preamble is done. The main story is great as are most of the characters. The end is also a touch clunky, but not nearly as bad as the beginning.

The biggest problem of the book is the narrator. She really doesn't know how to handle the humor in the book and is too dry in many places. She also doesn't know how to add rhythm changes to accentuate mood or action. Hopefully she gets better or they get a different person for the next one.

Fun read

Fun read and can’t wait for #4 to hit audible. It has been out on kindle for a while!
