Publisher's summary

To save her town from decaying into oblivion, a young seamstress embarks on a quest that weaves together magic, mystery, and monsters.

In an impoverished border town with a population dwindling as fast as hope, Gwen Tailor aims to change things. She is a daughter of the Seamstress class, drawing on the bloodline skills of her mother, who stitches with a speed that veers into the realm of magic. An awesome feat. But armed with a giant piercing needle, Gwen is more than a seamstress. To save her people from extinction and create a pattern all her own for survival, she must be a monster slayer.

In the core of the town is the dungeon, a deep-pitted breeding ground for all the local despair and decline. Gwen is going where the monsters dwell. For every new kill, each creature's pelt, shell, and exoskeleton will become not only protective armor but a source of escalating power. With the help of her friends—Sandy, a cleaver-wielding butcher's daughter, and Gerald, a young blacksmith with near-wizardly talents for forging enchanted weapons—Gwen has a team to be reckoned with. Monsters, beware.

Would that it were so simple. Descending into each cavernous new level, Gwen will make a harrowing discovery about the true roots of her town's decay. And they are more overwhelming and far-reaching than she ever could have imagined . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Really good voice acting, solid story

Dressed to Kill is a story with a surprising amount of heart. I've really enjoyed my listen of it. Andrea Parsneau did a great job, and Crown Fall's characters and story are fun and believable.

A fun listen!

Besides being voiced by the spectacular Andrea Parsneau, the writing is quick paced, witty, and interesting. It’s a great twist on a formulaic genre. The monsters aren’t the typical orc, goblin, ogre yawn fest but are more animalistic. I like that the story is character and plot driven and not just stat driven. The heroines are also cool because they stay true to their roots. They aren’t just a pair of one-in-a-million over powered little weirdos that suffer but always win. I like that they’re just crafters trying to save their town.

So good

I didn’t know what to expect, but this was an absolutely fantastic read. Definitely worth reading.

I want more!

I loved everything about it. I can’t wait to learn more about this world. Narration was great too!

Super good book!

This litrpg has a real storyline. it isn't just mindless hack & slash & stats.

I really enjoyed the characters. their interactions, the rpg components etc. I look for books like this but hardly ever find them. please keep writing!

excellent narration as always! I'm waiting to buy book 2!!!

interesting story

this is only part one, have to wait and buy the 2nd, 3rd and so on parts

When a crafter becomes a hero

This is a story where a crafter uses their a Abilities in a very smart and intelligent way when there are so many limitations on them and we get to know that that is something that normally would happen but with a little imagination a lot of willpower and love she can do so much more Along with our friends and it has a nice and clever way of dealing with the ark into the next buck

great characters

i really like the relationship between the main cast and their parents. Andrea really nails the voices to every character in the cast, lending to the lovable nature of the characters. Can't wait for book 2!

Good, but...

Overall the story is good. The only thing that seemed weird to add is the MC is a Isekai. It doesn't seem to add anything to the story.

good

really good short. oh it felt short I do want more. the characters are likable
