About this listen

Psychic. Superhero. Spy. Detective. Bounty hunter. Ashley Morgan has been many things and failed at all of them. The 28-year old has her whole life ahead of her but has already resigned herself to working a dead-end job bringing in the debt-ridden supernatural criminals of New Detroit.

A chance encounter with the vampire sheriff reveals a secret that motivates her to change her life forever: Her long-missing brother Arthur is alive (in a manner of speaking).

Ashley sets out on a quest to not only find him but also deal with old lovers, treacherous criminals, a magic sword, and a quest to raise an ancient vampire from the dead.

Brightblade is set in the same world as the Red Room series, The Bright Falls Mysteries, and Straight Outta Fangton.

Normally I enjoy this genre but I found it quite difficult to get into this book. There was an awful lot going on. The book is populated by every kind of supernatural being you can think of. There's also a heavy dose of pop culture references and snappy dialogue. I enjoyed the banter between the characters but I didn't feel connected to them beyond this.
Plenty of people will enjoy this book, it just wasn't to my taste.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy.

As someone who has read Phipps' other work, I can say that this one definitely stands up to his hilarious, snarky goodness. There were plenty of mentions to characters in his other series, but no spoilers and no worries if you haven't read anything else by him. I enjoyed Costa's performance. Definitely reccomend.

Fun!

Entertaining story and interesting characters. Sound plot and storyline. The narrator did a good job. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
