Grind: An Urban Dungeon LitRPG Fantasy

Rate this book
Four dungeon-born mimics. Four missing limbs. One really pissed off skater.

Judah “Rail” Langford was Portland's best skateboarder until someone pinned him under a bridge and took his arms and legs with a machete. Eleven months as a torso. Then four mimics crawled out of a gate and replaced what he a predator leg that purrs when pretty women touch it, a foundation leg that could anchor a building, an engineer arm that learns by eating blueprints, and a wildcard arm that sets everything on fire.

Each one evolves based on what he feeds it. Monster cores, dungeon stone, stolen compounds. Four mouths, infinite menu, and a man learning to cook.

Now he's grinding rails at 120 mph, trailing four-colored fire; three women are fighting over who gets to study his body (for science, mostly), and the guy who butchered him is challenging him to a public duel on livestream without knowing the “prosthetics” are alive.

Feed the limbs. Skate the line. Burn it all down in this unconventional romance for men (and women ;D).

Awesome book

Loved this book.
Great premise with the MC connected to four organisms, each with their own powers and synergies.
The romance managed to move forward with just the right amount of tension, disproving all the terrible nonsense people say about this genre. Looking forward to the next one.

Different

Intricate, insightful. A new take on LitRPG. Well written with complex characters, an unusual storyline that is well written and cohesive. I could have done without the graphic sex, but that is my personal opinion. I look forward to the next book.

Fun

This was a fun book. It probably would be better suited for people who are into skating. Though, I think most people will like this book.

Highly recommended
