Book Description:

Death Makes Great TV. Frankie Percival is cashing in her chips. To save her brother from financial ruin, Frankie―a single stage performer and mentalist who never made it big―agrees to be assassinated on the most popular television show on the Death Warrant . Once she signs her life away, her memory is wiped clean of the agreement, leaving her with no idea she will soon be killed spectacularly for global entertainment. After years of working in low-rent theaters, Frankie prepares for the biggest performance of her life as her Death Warrant assassin closes in on her. Every person she encounters could be her killer. Every day could be her last. She could be a star, if only she lives that long.

Lindsay’s Review:

I really enjoyed this audiobook! After finishing it and thinking about reality tv today, the public's obsession with true crime and a heartwarming story it's not that far of a stretch to think that reality tv would go in this direction.

This story is set in the not so distant future 50-60 years or so based on some mainstream references to current popular movies and actors. In this futuristic time there is a show called "Death Warrant". This is where a person signs up to be killed on tv. Why would someone do that you ask? When the person dies their chosen benefactor receives a portion of the revenue of the episode that their loved one dies. Personally, when I read this I thought what an excellent way out for a terminal patient to ensure they wouldn't be left suffering forever and their families wouldn't have the monetary burden after their passing, however, that's not allowed. After reading the entire book, I can see why that decision may have been made. 

There are a few main characters in the book that you come to love, one being Frankie, the main female character. She's a quirky fun character that one can easily relate to. You learn early on that she's signed up to be on "Death Warrant" and I personally was crushed and really hoping she'd find a way to walk away alive from it. There are so many twists and turns in this book it's hard to try and figure out what's going to happen next! While there were some things I was right about, there was also plenty I wasn't.

The narrators are Justine Eyre and Holly Palance. They did a great job really capturing the voices of the characters. Frankie in particular and her "best friend" really came alive in the narration. I would most definitely listen to something narrated by these two again.

A special thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher, CamCat Books, for making this audiobook available with "listen now". This made it easy for me to pick up a new book that I hadn't previously heard of before!
