Publisher's summary

Dirty Harry meets Twilight. Number 3 in the break-out series and a follow-up to Monster Hunter International and Monster Hunter Vendetta.

Earl Harbinger may be the leader of Monster Hunter International, but he's also got a secret. Nearly a century ago, Earl was cursed to be a werewolf. When Earl receives word that one of his oldest foes, a legendarily vicious werewolf that worked for the KGB, has mysteriously appeared in the remote woods of Michigan, he decides to take care of some unfinished business. But another force is working to bring about the creation of a whole new species of werewolf. When darkness falls, the final hunt begins, and the only thing standing in their way is a handful of locals, a lot of firepower, and Earl Harbinger's stubborn refusal to roll over and play dead.

Earl Harbinger is the baddest werewolf ever.

My favorite of the series, this iteration is a bit of a departure from the others and follows one of my favorite characters from the series, Earl, as he goes to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to deal with werewolf issues. Earl is a chain-smoking, straight talking, badass werewolf and the leader of Monster Hunter International.

You get some background on Earl sprinkled in with lots of Earl-isms all throughout the story. Once Earl gets fired up and puts the smack down on some pompous ass of a monster or miscellaneous MCB agent, I get a smile on my face and just enjoy the ride. The story is good, but it really takes a back seat to just hearing Earl be Earl.

I almost never re-listen to audiobooks, but I am now half way through my second round and was inspired to tell everyone what a great listen this one is. Do yourself a favor and try this series if only to get to this book.

Another great novel

At first I was upset that Correia wasn't using the full cast of characters, but soon forgot my worries. Excellent novel, highly recommend the series.

Christopher Walkin as a werewolf? Heck yes

Fantastic book. Amazing narrative skills.
God I love Were Walkin.

The jumping around of the story line originally threw me off, but it is cohesive and easy to follow, thanks to the narrator.

Loved it

I didn’t give it 5 starts because it really wasn’t an original - original story. It was pretty stereotypical of the monster genre. But it was very well written and I liked the characters. Especially the Russian, the narrator out a Christopher Walken spin on the voice. That was great.

Best Narrator in the series, and it just keeps get

the best of the series I can't wait for the rest ❤️ I will

my Favorite of the entire series

This was just flat-out good. The narration alone was stunning. at one point there were at least 7 different character speaking and there were 7 distinct voices, complete with different accents on a few. it was incredible to hear.

I loved the story. Earl is just a great character. He honestly is. The way the story unfolded and more characters were added in, thatvactuallybadded to the story. The Alpha was a great Big bad. The one two punch of him creating not only werewolves but then the Vulkodlak.

The ending was satisfying as well.

Great story about Earl!

The character development of Earl in this book was excellent and rally fun to listen to!

Earl POV

getting in the head of earl should be enough on its own :)
but it's also a grand story, might even be better than the first one

The story

Loved the story and I want to know about the unicorns lol Where’s the sequel?

Hard Beginning but still good

What did you love best about Monster Hunter Alpha?

I liked the story, It was definitely interesting

Any additional comments?

I hated the flashbacks, they were informative but very annoying.
