How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying (Dark Lord Davi, 1)
Groundhog Day meets Deadpool in Django Wexler's raunchy, hilarious, blood-splattered fantasy tale about a young woman who, tired of defending humanity from the Dark Lord, decides to become the Dark Lord herself. "Takes the old saying 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, ' to the next level. A sarcastic, action-packed, intrigue-filled (mis)adventure. One of the funniest books I've read in a long time."--Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl Davi has done this all before. She's tried to be the hero and take down the all-powerful Dark Lord. A hundred times she's rallied humanity and made the final charge. But the time loop always gets her in the end. Sometimes she's killed quickly. Sometimes it takes a while. But she's been defeated every time. This time? She's done being the hero and done being stuck in this endless time loop. If the Dark Lord always wins, then maybe that's who she needs to be. It's Davi's turn to play on the winning side. A humorous western isekai featuring the reincarnation of an antihero female lead. Burningblade & Silvereye

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.
This book was great. Yes, there was lots of bad words and sexual references. I still loved the character development and the overall storyline. This book is basically a groundhog day within a magical realm, where the protagonist decides they are tired of trying to be the hero. This twist on being a villain is fun. Our hero, I mean villain is still good at heart even though they are jaded at the repeat failures in life. Thanks for the great read Django Wexler and let's have three cheers for DARK LORD DAVI!!!
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
