Resumen del Editor

A new entry in the Monster Hunter Memoirs series.

Chloe Mendoza and her team from Monster Hunter International must seek out and destroy an ancient evil threatening Los Angeles at the height of Disco Fever.

Los Angeles: the 1970s.

Disco is king, and the nightclubs are full of young, beautiful people with Saturday night fever. From the Sunset Strip to Hollywood Boulevard, a new era is dawning. But below the glitz and glamor, a darkness lurks.

Chloe Mendoza knows darkness. She is a nagualii, a half-demon created by the gods of Central and South America, a daughter of the Court of Feathers, a group of demigods who ruled Mesoamerica before the Spanish arrived.

Now, she is a member of Monster Hunter International’s latest team, based in the LA Basin. Business is good in the City of Angels, but soon Chloe gets a message from the Court of Feathers, warning her of a Dark Master who is building up its power in the region. Whatever it is, it brings death and carnage with it.

Time to boogie.

Minor Infelicities, Major Good Work

Another Monster Hunter Memoirs Period piece, this time set in the polyester and bass-beat saturated 70s. There are several good character moments in the book, and the pacing is excellent. Great use of the era as a back-drop and the running references to 70s technology and society are fun. The only real problem is the narrator. Chavez doesn't do male voices well. Some are passable, others...just call for patience. Her delivery with the main character is great, though this is one of those books that would have benefited from a multi-reader cast.

Expanded world

Intriguing addition to MHI lore and history.

If you're a fan, there are some revelations and foreshadowing, as well as kick-a*s combat - and accurate attitudes and rech for the time.


If this is your intro to MHI. it'll knock your socks off and drive you to the rest of the stories

Enjoy!

A fantastic tail with a different twist

excellent story written from a perspective of different nationalities, religions, beliefs and from a female/demigod point of view !cant wait for the next one

It’s building but not built

Interesting ideas and the delivery was not my favorite. Did better than the melancholy sounding narration in guardian but still lacked a bit of polish.

A another great installment

If you like monster hunting, historical L. A., and new characters this is your book.

An IDF commando vs monster? Sign me up!

This was a fun, fresh take on one of my favorite literary universes. Hearing Annika try to do Earl Harbenger's voice as alone worth the price of admission. You can tell she did her homework before taking on this project.

Another awesome Monster hunter!!

Loved it just like all the others. I recommend Monster hunter to everyone I know!!

Good character development

Not a thing to complain about. And that’s all I need or want to say

70s Nostalgia, and Monsters

The Monster Hunter Memoirs series are “side quests” from the “main” Monster Hunter International series, focusing on different characters in different eras. This is the story of how Chloe Mendoza, daughter of Tezcatlipoca and a human mother, joined MHI in the 1970s and became second in command of a team in Los Angeles. If you’ve read any MHI books, you know what to expect: action, snark, and world-threatening monsters, this time in Los Angeles of a bygone age. (And oh, how it pains me to describe it that way…) Chloe’s team must uncover the machinations of a supernatural menace who enlists other monsters in her cause. Along the way, they discover a Los Angeles that is simultaneously like today (gas prices, traffic jams) and unlike (no cell phones, no GPS, no internet). The battles are horrifically bloody. The discos are decadent. And the characters are deep. The ending presents a scenario that has always been a possibility in other Monster Hunter books, but which tragically happens in this one.

As for the performance: It was invisible, which is great. I didn’t hear a narrator, just a story.

Well worth your time!

Excellent MHI Story

This is a Great MHI Story. There is lots of action. Many interesting new characters. Also, nice links to past MHI books and familiar characters from prior books. Great stand alone book, set in a new location and during the Great 1970s Disco Era. I highly recommend this book. Very much a fun exciting book!
