Summary
Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.
It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.
It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.
With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Difficult to review meaningfully -
I was initially very disappointed. My fault - for no good reason I was expecting something more Harry Dresden series type witty urban fantasy noir etc.
What this is is an unsubtle romp written by a gun enthusiast.
It's genuinely exciting with some enjoyable minor twists. One does start eventually to care for many of they characters, even if the hero seems a bit dim to have been a successful accountant,but overall its Rednecks do Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossed with the A-team crossed with a touch of the X-files.
Treat it like an antidote to typical Booker short list type books. On the whole fun, decent narration, and will help a boring journey fly by.

Love it
Good action packed monster killing fun! Gore, guns n girls. Not a master piece but a fun ride with bad arse bad guys and heroes battling against the odds. Well read and the pace was perfect. Now need to listen to the rest.

Great books!
I've listened to several of the Monster Hunter, Inc., books - several times - and I love them. I hope a new one comes out soon.

Fantastic fun
Usually the books subject matter would not be my thing but the reviews were good so I gave a try.
I loved it! Well written and well read. Sure, the subject matter is silly nonsense but it was so well done I couldn’t help but love it.

Decent
A fairly simple book, but entertaining nontheless. Ideal for those listening to a book while doing something slightly distracting.

great humour and a fun writing style but I think the characters are a bit over powered.

Great story and fantastic performance!
I listened to this book every morning and had a hard time stopping. It has good pace and the reader makes the characters feel so real.
The story is interesting all the way to the end!

Monster hunter
I don’t know what I was expecting from this book but whatever it was was massively surpassed. It is a great story, well written and performed beautifully. I am going to move straight onto the next volume
