    About this audiobook

    A Goodreads Choice Award finalist.

    “I enjoyed the hell out of One Word Kill. Mark is an excellent writer.” – George R.R. Martin

    In January 1986, fifteen-year-old boy-genius Nick Hayes discovers he’s dying. And it isn’t even the strangest thing to happen to him that week.

    Nick and his Dungeons & Dragons-playing friends are used to living in their imaginations. But when a new girl, Mia, joins the group and reality becomes weirder than the fantasy world they visit in their weekly games, none of them are prepared for what comes next. A strange—yet curiously familiar—man is following Nick, with abilities that just shouldn’t exist. And this man bears a cryptic message: Mia’s in grave danger, though she doesn’t know it yet. She needs Nick’s help—now.

    He finds himself in a race against time to unravel an impossible mystery and save the girl. And all that stands in his way is a probably terminal disease, a knife-wielding maniac and the laws of physics.

    Challenge accepted.

      MOST NOVELISTS HAVE AT LEAST ONE book in a drawer that represents an early effort, a text that will never be offered up to a wider readership. In the case of Jay Kristoff, this book was a tale of bloodsuckers he wrote in 2008. “It was right at the ta

      It’s one of the hallmarks of a certain kind of fantasy that it appears to take place in an unchanging world of foundling princes, wizards and dark lords. Joe Abercrombie, for one, isn’t too keen on this idea. “I was always a bit frustrated by the san

      The worst of MARK LAWRENCE. Its not terrible per se but it is pretty bad. He attempts time travel and I just don't think it works. So many loop holes. So many ways that his premises can fall apart. Ipso facto.
    • 4/5
      I hate the multi universe theory or at least books based upon it. It is the easiest way to sound scientific that exists. That being said this book perhaps goes a little deeper, though I am unsure.
    • 5/5
      Good book I had to ready this for school and forgot so I just listened to it and have to write a report In 6 hours helped a lot
    • 5/5
      Such a nerdy adventure! Adorable d&d dorks take on bullies, cancer and time travel.
    • 5/5
      What a fun book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

      I give it one extra star to make a point that it’s THAT good. If you want a fast-paced story with interesting characters and occasional laughs, get this one. It only took me one paragraph of the first page for it to hook me in.

      One of the characters have to get others to save the future of one of their friends. And it requires a heist. The D&D sessions are the most fun while it secretly becomes an important part of the their quest.

      I can’t recommend it enough. It’s good. Just. Read it.

      Characters: 5/5
      Plot: 5/5
      Ending: 5/5
