Kill Me Once
**Amazon Best Seller!**
From Phoenix Grey, the Amazon bestselling author of GODSLAYER GIRL, AERENDEL CLOUD ACADEMY and WOLF OF THE WASTELAND.
In my world you are born with skills and abilities; special powers that allow you to do extraordinary things. You inherit them from your parents, you can gain them though training, and you can occasionally just sort of unlock them while doing whatever you do.
I was born with two special abilities; Shell Rebirth and Inherit.
The latter ability was different than what we were given at birth from our parents. It allowed me a rare chance to gain the skills and abilities of my opponent. It had a simple premise, but it rarely activated making it nearly worthless.
For most of my life I had thought that the former skill was even more worthless than the latter-- just pure trash. I had started off with two abilities but none of them activated not once for the first twelve years of my life. It wasn't until the first time I died-- which is a hilarious story that I'll tell you later-- that I realized I had two amazing skills.
The former ability Shell Rebirth granted me an insanely overpowered ability-- the ability to never die-- to rebuild myself in the safety of a cocoon made of scabs --it's gross--after a fatal strike. These two skills worked in tandem. While Inherit rarely allowed me to steal skills from my opponent, if my opponent managed to kill me and Shell Rebirth kicked in-- Inherit would activate-- and grant me the newly acquired skills in my next life.
Because of this, I've found myself in a weird predicament. Whenever I come across skills and abilities that I want all I simply have to do is die by the person who has them.
Welcome to the aptly titled KILL ME ONCE.

About Phoenix Grey
Phoenix Grey's debut novel, PHOENIX DANCER, became a phenomenon in Canada. Inspired by his time producing documentary films for television, he hand-crafted a rich and detailed fantasy world from tales and legends told by the Vancouver Island First Nations on the early colonization of British Columbia and Canada.
PHOENIX DANCER tells the tale of a tribe raised on the coast, who worship a monstrous living Phoenix-God. Terrorized by an ever-creeping horizon of permanent darkness and the demons living under it, the Asla'ati tribe ventures forth to slay beasts for hide and meat. They soon realize that they are not the only race of humanity in this world and that lift exists far beyond the sunless lands. PHOENIX DANCER is inspired by the legends and myths of Canadian Aboriginals, blended with his love for fantasy and mythology.
His latest novel, WOLF OF THE WASTELAND, follows a young scavenger with a murky past deserted on a desert scorched planet with little water. The titular character Wolf has always lived life for herself, but soon realizes the benefits of company- but first she must learn to trust again.
Phoenix Grey, born in August 1991, grew up in a small town in British Columbia, and currently resides with his wife and son in Vancouver, Canada.

Start has potential but it's Short
Good opening with some nice ideas but just as it gets going it stops....intrested to see where it goes .. but currently far too short for my tastes

Boring
The book hardly had any good details and it was too short. If Amazon did not skip pages, I would have liked it better. ಠ_ಠ
