About this listen
Shifters, giants, hungry beasts, the undead, creatures of legend, flying terrors - you name it, New York City has it!
Through the Monster Hunt app, Chase Knowles becomes the Alpha of two powerful Huntresses: one a half-dragon female fond of combat and banter, the other a cute warrior fond of reading spell books and wielding two killer blades.
Their goal? Hunt these mythological creatures in the parks, rooftops, and back alleys of New York City; build a fighting party to compete in brawls and tournaments in the city and beyond; earn money; and try their damnedest not to get arrested.
Warning: Monster Hunt NYC contains a light harem with monster girls, augmented reality, fantasy violence, a ton of action, and GameLit/LitRPG concepts. It was inspired by the Persona games, Pokemon Go!, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

This SBT production showcases what I have come to expect from their quality narrators, but i have to say I was surprised as this raises it up a notch again mostly as judicious use of sound effects gives an extra oomph to moments of tension, hilarity and realism.
In the books the songs ( not being musically minded myself) didn't bother me too much but hearing theme music which was initially distracting soon becomes a good counterpoint to the main action as does the songs as the extra depth works well.
Having just listened to an Audio BBC radio drama which I was a bit dissatisfied with as their mix of special effects/narration wasn't as on point as I would have liked, nor their sound level.
But this easily matched this so the time taken to produce this was well spent and appreciated
The fans who loved the books will appreciate the extra work in this and my only negative is I'm a bit worried with such a long time between books and audio if the pace will maintain at this rate as I know book 2 was a lot more intriguing and I look forward to this showcasing on audio and I'm hoping not going to be such a wait.

I did find many of the songs- especially sang by the male voice actor just too cringe to listen to, which I think may have been on purpose. As well as that the writer just decided to get rid of any tension that had been through the whole story before the third act even started.
Would he choose the code or Everlife? The writer just decided to deus ex machina that for the main character.
Everyone but the main character were fairly likable, the guy could not take a joke or flirt to save his life, that and his dry lifeless personality with the Pokémon Go trainer type gameplay meant he felt pretty none existent and useless, I was thankful by the end when a decent character decided to barge in and actually do something.
Finally, don’t expect the writing to get you hot and steamy at all, I don’t read erotic stuff but even I could tell this was sub-par.
I feel like I have been a bit tough on this one, I think mainly because of the wasted potential by the end. I’ll say if you’re reading it as part of your free membership catalogue, it goes by fast so if you think you’ll be interested despite the floors I found above, go for it. I found the small nudges to various mythologies interesting and fun to guess about, and despite the main character the rest of the cast were fun to be around.
Dropped the ball by the end but a fun-ish journey

The combat scenes are amazingly well detailed, don’t stop listening for a second or you’ll loose track of a fighter and want to skip back to follow properly.
The interactions between characters were brilliant, with tensions growing and playing out in a satisfying and tasteful manner.
The mix of monster collecting and battling, with the VR, realworld crossover has been a joy to discover and explore.
The writing is excellent and the voice actors really brought it all to life.
Book 2 is a must have now!
And the song after the credits? Amazing!

I understand that the main protagonist is a musician and they want too get that across and I understand sound booth used this too advertise their extensive musical talent but there is a lot of background music, some cool and atmospheric some unnecessary and when the main character starts using music too catch monsters rather than fight them it just feels forced, like the author wished he was a musician rather than an author.
Those gripes aside the book is cool the creatures are interesting and some are based on more obscure mythological creatures which is great to see and their personalities are good.
Worth a listen, especially as it’s included free atm.
TLDR: cool book too much music
