What you thought you knew about vampires and werewolves is wrong...so very, very, wrong.
A thousand years of effort to keep the Unknown World hidden is unraveling and the Patriarch is tired. He needs to find someone to take over.
He finds Bethany Anne.
Unknown, untested and untried, she sets out to accomplish the impossible while forging a new future. One that no one knew was in danger.
And she does it with an attitude that will make you stand up and cheer!
They say a dress can make a women, but in this case, the dress is Death, and Death Becomes Her very well indeed.
Please note, there is flagrantly foul language in these novels. The main character does not have a problem with cussing, just uninspired cussing.

I probably would have given this a 2 star rating if not for the fresh take on the supernatural. Being a first book in the series I'm cutting a little slack for the stilted over-explaining done because the author is setting up the characters' personality as they're introduced rather than fleshing them out through the storytelling over the course of a few books. Hopefully book two will have less of that now that we already know all about them.The biggest issue as noted by several other reviewers is the proofreading (or lack thereof). You can see where the author intended to change a word but instead of removing one they both were left. There are also switches of POV that aren't needed and don't make sense (main character is giving and internal monologue and suddenly there's a sentence or two that doesn't make sense until you realize it much be another characters thoughts on the topic before it switches back to the original person).
Much of the issues are typical of a new writer and poor editing. I'm willing to overlook the issues and read the next couple books in the series. With as many books as are in this series I would hope eventually the author goes back and re-writes this first one at some point and uses a professional editor.

Death Becomes Her The Kurtherian Gambit Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Michael Anderle Emily Beresford LMBPN Publishing Books Reviews
I really wanted to like this as I like strong female heroes. This was a train wreck. As I tried to read this all I could picture was a terrible parody of what a strong female lead was. Bethany came across as a resentful, man-hating grotesque. Trying to read this with the constant wishful and literal kicking men in the testicles to empower women, petulant sexual harassment scenarios and testosterone is bad made me envision a stereotypical angry feminist complete with blue hair and weight problems. What could have been a great female character was reduced to angry musings of how men are unfair to women,etc. Can I have my money back?
Wow! I read the other reviews and figured I would give this book a try. I think I'm hooked.
First, this is the first book I've read in a long time since switching to eBooks and self published books that started out by creating a believable world.
Second, the main character as a woman WASN'T dreamy eyed, hopelessly enamored, or suffering from hormone soaked emotions.
Third, the vamps and other where's didn't follow the standard roles as driven by movie portraits. The human side was clearly shown as well as how that drives their personalities.
Then the plot reached and grabbed my attention and made me want to find out what happened next. The alien influence was a pleasant twist and obviously will play in the the rest of the series.
Yes, I will be continuing to read in the series but everything isn't all peaches and cream. Many times there were sentence fragments that caused me to stop and re-read the paragraph to make sense of the action. Sometimes there were words in the sentence that weren't meant to be, as if the grammar checker just through it in in case that was what was to be. I'm not an English language nazi but these detractors did slow my reading.
Overall though I will do, what is rare for me ( besides actually doing a review) and recommend that you give this book a try. It just might cause you to continue to get and read more of the story. I might just have to join Unlimited to save some coin on this series.
I was looking for a new series of books to read as I tend to go through books pretty quickly. I will say I am glad I found Michael's books. I have just finished book 4 and decided I should really go back and review what I had already read.
This book is a wonderful introduction to a series I can see carrying on for many more books (the author says 13 but in my mind I can see spin-offs, books written from another of the main characters perspective, potential children carry on's once we reach the end etc.).
I loved the book - I was fortunate enough to get the post edited version so didn't have to face the issues earlier readers had. The book is a wonderful mixture of action, darkness, fun, intrigue, violence and very original cursing (did I mention that this is not a book for the young !!!). It engaged right from the start and has duly sucked me in - I have read the first 4 books in 3 days - each time reaching the end wondering what was going to happen next - please Mr. Anderle get some extended volumes together for the new readers - maybe a 1-3, 4-6 type grouping if you get the chance.
Thanks for letting us share your world - cannot wait to get to the next books - so good
PS And one of my best friends is actually from Brasov and I shared this books with her - she loved it too !
