His Death Bringer

The District, Book 1

By: Courtney W. Dixon

Narrated by: Harley Chase

He calls me his dark angel, but I’m merely a killer. A bringer of death.

Luca Davenport: He is my angel, sent to be my death bringer to save me from my tormentors and betrayers—those who sold me into slavery when I was only eight years old. Angel came in with guns blazing and black wings that were made to crush his enemies and envelope me in love. He belongs to me, and I belong to him. We are destined. After he saves me from my captors, we hunt down the remaining men who had abused me for eleven years to make them pay in blood.

Dante Varga: He is a broken boy of no more than nineteen. He sees me as an angel, but I’m simply a killer. An assassin for hire. I can’t save him. I can’t take care of him. There’s no room left in my dying soul to care about someone. Not anymore. But I can’t turn him away either. I should kill him. He’s a witness. But I feel compelled to protect him at all costs. Saving him will either shatter the ice around my heart or destroy me. Either way, Luca is dangerous.

Rabbits and killers

I don’t have the words to describe how amazing Harley Chase did bringing innocent Luca and his dark angel Dante to life. I cried harder than I did when I read the book. The emotions surrounding it all are so much more raw and painful. Oh and rabbit might not say anything but his presence was felt as well

Heed the Trigger Warnings!

Dante is a deadly, well-trained assassin who works for the assassin group "The District". He's somewhat cold and detached until, during a job, he finds a young man who had been kept prisoner since he was a child.

Luca is a 19-year-old man who has been kept prisoner since he was 8 years old, forced into "servitude" for older, rich men. He's been kept as child-like as much as possible, having been kept undereducated and ignorant about the world outside the mansion..Until Dante arrives to carry out a job and stumbles across Luca.

Dante knows he should "end" Luca, but instead decides to save him with the intention of letting him out into the world...until that pesky cold detachment begins to melt.

This book is the first in The District series, each following a different assassin. It has some very very dark subject matter, with heavy emphasis on brutal underage SA and physical, mental and emotional trauma. HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

That being said, Luca is adorable and while you do have to suspend a bit of belief as far as his non-aversion to intimate relations despite his severe se**al trauma, the story is good, with revenge as the main goal. Dante is so sweet to Luca after he thaws, and while cringy (to me) at first, I really loved their relationship by the end of the story.

The secondary characters are great, and we get to know them better in later books.

Harley Chase does an excellent job at the narration, and his Russian and Middle Eastern accents didn't make me cringe, unlike some other narrators do.

Love it

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narrator was amazing and I enjoyed listening more than reading as the narrator did amazing job on reading this book.

superb narration!

This is my favorite Courtney Dixon story, and hearing it narrated was absolutely incredible! I've loved Luca and Dante since the first time I read them, so this was a treat! Harley Chase again does an absolutely fantastic job! His narration of everything I've listened to is so real and authentic, he puts his whole heart into bringing these characters to life! If you've read His Death Bringer, then listening to it is a no brainer. But if you haven't started The District series, then I definitely recommend both the print and audio versions!!

Y’all, This Was A Really Good Start To This Series. I Wanted To Read More Courtney. Dante And Luca Were A Really Good Couple. Luca Was Just A Ball Of Sunshine And So Adorable And Dante Was Just Dark And Brooding And SO Protective And I Loved Them Together, Being So Protective And Loving Each Other. The Side Characters All Intrigue Me So Much And I’m Honestly More Excited For The Rest Of The Series Then Anything😂 So I Cannot Wait To Continue The Series. The Action And Plot Mixed With Romance And Spice Was Also Such A Great Mixture And Was Really Amazing. Definitely Recommend This For All The Dark Romance Girlies With A Great Mixture Of Everything. Courtney, You Are Just AMAZING Girl And You Never Miss And I Cannot Wait To Continue The Series💕🫶
