About this listen
She's a ghostly assassin. He's a sharp-eyed Brit. When something goes amiss in the magical underworld, can they unravel a murderous puzzle before all hell breaks loose?
Adina Venture keeps her banter brisk, and her emotions hidden. Maintaining a careful barrier between herself and anyone she cares about, she stalks the lonely Las Vegas nights as a supernatural killer-for-hire. Her signature? Making her jobs look like bizarre accidents, or "misadventures", as they are often called in the official death reports.
When an organization known for its brutal justice accuses her of slaying one of their own, little Miss Adventure knows she's in big trouble, and the only way out of it is to prove she's not guilty. There's just one problem: Until they're sure she's not a killer (at least, not the one they're looking for), she will be magically bound to Chief Inquisitor Levi Breitling, an unforgiving and unceremonious investigator who's sure of her guilt. If she can't convince him she's innocent, he'll verify it himself by digging into her head and ripping out her memories one by one.
In the struggle to clear her name, the unlikely pair uncover clues that suggest the murder was part of a much bigger, potentially Armageddon-level plot. Now, the fate of Sin City hangs on whether Adina and Inquisitor Breitling can find the true culprit before a deadlier monster awakens. And the longer it takes to track down the killer, the tighter the chain between them seems to grow...
Death by Miss Adventure is the darkly humorous first book in the Death by Miss Adventure urban fantasy series. If you like gritty mysteries, witty banter, and slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance, then you'll love S.G. Tasz's award-winning novel. Buy Death by Miss Adventure and unravel this snarky gothic mystery today! This audiobook was produced in part with a grant provided by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

My Thoughts on Death by Miss Adventure
This was a really good series starter. I found myself most definitely engaged from start to finish. It was one that was really easy for me to pick up in between moments that life forced me to pause my listening. I really liked the main character Adina Venture, and I was very intrigued by the budding romance prospect. While it was certainly on the slow burn side as far as romance is concerned, I did like that it wasn’t fade to black. It was just far more limited than my normal romance and heavier on the mystery and crime solving. I did however also really like those mystery and crime solving aspects. Mystery/Thriller stories with a strong leading lady tend to be my preferred genre when I feel like I want to take a little bit of a break from romance so having a story like this, that was heavy on the mystery with a strong dose of romance thrown in was right up my alley. I like the set up for future books and certainly wouldn’t hesitate to check out more in the series. I would particularly be interested if the narrator for this story continued on with the series. While it was a new to me narrator to go with the new to me author, I felt like she did a really good job with this story especially with the different tones needed for the multiple characters. This was a really interesting world created by this author told to us so well by this narrator and I look forward to the next experience with it.

A Fascinating AdVenture! Terrific Story & Listen🎧
This is a fascinating urban fantasy novel with equally fascinating characters and original storylines that are interesting and they captivated my attention the entire time. The writing, plot, and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. I adored the two lead characters, Adina Venture aka Miss Adventure who has paranormal abilities and Levi Breitling who is the Chief Inquisitor in the magical Order, and unfortunate circumstances bring them together, Adina being accused of a murder of one of their own. Adina has some unique paranormal abilities, some consider her a death walker with ghostly abilities, which is perfect for her profession as an incorporeal hitman who rids of the most evil. And when one of members of the order is murdered evidence points to her, but she had an alibi that night, and the order is giving her a chance to prove her innocence, but with a hitch, and that hitch is being attached to Levi who she will have to work with. OMG, the banter between those two was sometimes hilarious, and it was clear there was something more between them and it was great to watch it all play out, also great watching them trying to solve the case and prove her innocence. There is never a dull moment in this book and the story has the perfect balance of drama, mystery, action, horror, thrilling and suspenseful moments, humor to lighten things up, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. S.G. Tasz, thank you for this amazing story and wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 Phillipa Miller did a fantastic job bringing the characters and story to life. She covered the roles of all the characters, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. Her portrayal of the characters was spot on, nailing it as both leads, and she was believable in every role. She set the perfect tone for the story, handled the back-and-forth banter effortlessly, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. Phillipa Miller is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
