How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying (Dark Lord Davi, 1)

Great first read for our book club. This was a new genre of book for me and I found it very entertaining.

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed reading this. It had me laughing out loud so much people thought I was crazy. This book is filled with pop culture references and I liked that about it. The is some torture in this book. There's little to no spice with fade to black scenes. We get double crosses, plans-as-we-go, some training montages and a lot of 4th wall breaks (like Deadpool). There are different types of species including humans, but they are not well liked in this world. There's magic also which is always great to have.
Our fmc, Davi, is on a quest she is done trying to beat the bad guy so she decided to take things into her own hands. She'll become the Dark Lord, no matter what it takes. We quickly notice that every time she dies she respawns and that autosave did not apply to her previous life. This helps her out a lot and it lets me know that she's been dying a whole awful lot. Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot. 3.5 stars

Could not put down this fun fantasy! I totally want to be friends with the main character, Dani, who has had it up to here. She is snarky, raunchy, sarcastic, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny, a rough gal with a big heart! An action-packed story and the best read of the summer.
