Death Is Easy

Second Chances, Book 1

De: Letty Frame

Narrado por: Matt Haynes, Evan Henderson, Ash Kingsley

When you've lost literally everything but your own life, can you learn to be loved or will you give up fighting the negative voice in your head and finally lose yourself completely?

Nora Hart is twenty-four years old, but she's lost everything, rebuilt her life, fought through grief and worse, all while managing to avoid the shifter world that broke her in the first place.

Despite her near death and struggle for survival all on her own, she's done quite well and has created a pretty normal life for herself. Despite all that, fate isn't done messing with her.

Her heart and soul aren't ready to open up to new mates, and may never be, but fate has brought them into her life anyway, causing her to move across the country as she tries to deny her connections and keep some semblance of the life she's created.

Not only that, but that little voice in her head begging for death is back stronger than ever, those from her past who broke her down are back for more, and now she's being hunted by humans out to rid the world of shifters.

Will she be strong enough to get through all of this, to find herself again and have a happy life, or will her struggle finally come to an end?

Death is Easy is the first installment in the Second Chances trilogy. This series is a medium-burn reverse harem romance, and there is a guaranteed HEA at the end of the third book.

Just okay

This was just okay for me. I feel like she is weak and not much chemistry with the guys. It drags but finally the last few minutes got good. Hopefully book 2 is better than this. Both narrators did a good job.

SO good - need more!

A wolf shifter rejected, cast out of her pack, forced to oppress her wolf … yea, this is a fun read! Toss in some very interesting twists on the different types of shifters and their cultures and I was hooked pretty early in. Has lots of real world cross over, so it’s easily to relate, despite the magical and supernatural elements.

She's so freaking whiny

I paid my hard earned money for this book because the reviews made it seem way better than it is. Too much time is spent listening to the FMC whine about her wolf and lack of trauma, that she clearly has, before she's willing to do anything about it. I won't be finishing the book.

the male performer didn't give off the right tone

Maybe if I read the book instead of listening to it I would have liked it better but the male performer didn't set the tone very well for the scenarios. There were a lot of scenes the male performer would have a stoic or even angry sounding tone even though the writing would describe it as a comical or light hearted moment. The book itself was very heavy on what it's like to live with depression and suicidal thoughts. This might not be a good book for someone who is actively struggling with heavy mental health. At first I was getting a little annoyed with the FMC because she seemed so helpless all the time but as I continued I realized how much of the book was laying out the the mindset of someone living with depression for so long. I would have liked to see more of the the male characters background too. There's so little mention of the lives they had because they come into the story it's hard to connect with their characters.

Enjoyed this RH with so many different shifters!

This was my first book from this author and I am already onboard with this series and cannot wait for more to come out on audio. I will say the story was 4.5-5 out of 5 stars from me but I was not a fan of one of the male narrators. I was confused about some of the guys, some of their voices were not my favorite and kept taking me out of the story. The female narrator did a great job and really brought this world to life for me. I think some of the accents felt off/forced which is why I wasn't sold on the audio completely.

In terms of the story, we have a lot jam packed into book one of this series (trilogy I think?). I felt bad for Nora because of how her family treated her, her original alpha, and then the people who keep coming after her. She never catches a break and she keeps trying to do it on her own but ultimately it becomes too much. I will say read the trigger warnings. I wasn't expecting something (the audiobook doesn't actually go over any of the TWs so just be aware) so I know it could be triggering for some so just want to put that out there. I felt how her and her wolf were at odds. Some things weren't smooth for me in terms of the writing but I could overlook it because the idea of this story and the characters were so gripping. I enjoyed how she added mates as the book went along and how different they all are. The author does a good job describing them and their personalities so I could easily tell who was who in the audio.

The romance, chemistry, steam was well done in this one. It can't be a fast burn with how damaged Nora is and I appreciated how the author grew their feelings and letting things get further with some of them. I loved the different personalities, especially the protective and cuddling bear (who cooks and wants to be a caretaker) to the goofy ones (like our tiger and the newest member who I won't spoil). I liked how they come together and don't always get along haha. I enjoyed the hierarchy in the pride too. I thought the author thought a lot about how this world was going to work and it showed. I was still confused about what each of the guys does for the pride/company but I am hoping it becomes more clear in book 2. I enjoyed the side characters as well, especially her therapist who is now connected to her and her guys hahaha. Again won't spoil it. I hated the slimey coworker and am intrigued by the hunters. More to come in book 2. OH and I cannot wait for her former mate and her sister to get their comeuppance (and her parents). I am interested to see how things with her brother pan out though.

I definitely will be checking out book 2 once it drops on audio and will be adding this author to my list to check out others in their catalog. Enjoyed this RH paranormal start to this series (tropes: rejected mates, friends to lovers, possessive and protective alphas, good blend of different shifters, touch her and d!e, cinnamon roll MMC, grumpy/sunshine (she is the grumpy at some points haha), etc.).

Very Mixed feelings on this one

This is a new author for me. I have not read nor listened to anything else, so I am not familiar with her style. The storyline has a lot of potential, but I feel it is falling short on what the heroine is going through. The narrators do an amazing job, especially Matt and Evan. The mates are very intriguing- I love their personalities, and i understand that Nora has been rejected by her mate. However, I do not understand the implied trauma that caused. It seems the book starts with overwhelming attraction between Kennedy and Nora when they identify as mates, but he immediately flips sides and rejects her. Supposedly she is a weak wolf, but I think we need more background info on why she is considered weak. Especially, since her OG mate chooses her sister to be his mate (You find this out later.) Then the book seems to skip whatever major trauma experienced being rejected because the book jumps to her working in a new law firm that is going well and this is where she meets her mate. Well, the first one that is. It seems every man she runs into is her mate. She ends up with the king of the pride, 2 tigers, a bear, a fox, and then before the book is over- a griffin. They all fall over her to show her love and affection,- yet she is so traumatized that she wants to kill herself. I just do not see that level of trauma in this book. It's like it;s from a high schooler's point of view, where everything is a bit blown out of portion drama. It intrigues me enough that i would like to see where the second book goes.


I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAudio

Great team of narrators for a story that is not really my cup of tea

I like the great story telling that was done by the the narrators. The story, meanwhile, is very slow and waaaaay too much crying for my liking. FMC is really hard to like. Sorry, I shall pass on the next book.

Emotional Rollercoaster

This had so many emotions. You could not help but feel for the MFC. Her family and mate are horrible. This emotional rollercoaster is the first book and will leave you wanting. I look forward to her family and ex-mate getting what they deserve or at least that is what I am hoping to see happen.

Good potential

Death is Easy (Second Chances #1) is a paranormal, why choose romance.

This story has really good potential. The book was a bit repetitive, and I felt no real connection between Nora and her mates. I did enjoy the heroes though. I good variety of personalities that made the world interesting. I would like to see where book 2 leads.

Ash Kingsley and Matt Haynes did a good job narrating this story.

An exciting escape from the real world.

Please make book 2 in series in audible available now! You will want to know the rest of story told like no other!
