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 planet: 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. The show will pick the day. Her family will reap the benefits and be set for life based on how many viewers her kill gets.

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.

Goodreads review…”At first I was a little put off by the concept of the book but that changed as I got further into the story with the character development. The plot is well thought out and delivered in a straightforward manner that was easy to get lost in. Frankie is a mentalist and the descriptions of her act were believable and entertaining as if you were a fly on the wall. The manner in which the Death Warrant shows producers vetted the participants was sophisticated and intriguing. After the interviews the interviewee has their memory wiped and can’t remember ever-even thinking about doing it. They never know how or when they’ll be executed. The outcomes were often brutal to garner the highest ratings and viewership. Now I bet you’re thinking that’s pretty twisted and it is, but with the authors guidance it all comes together in a surprising and satisfying way. But I still hope we never see the day…”
