Resumen del Editor

An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a monster.

Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe.

Except that very same monster is and isn’t Rene.

It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual monster.

That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that. Where he died in a mission gone wrong.

When he met the Watcher in the afterlife, and took on a new life. A life of idyllic bliss that involved having a family.

Until he was kidnapped and taken to a new city. A city where Rene broke free, set down roots, opened a business, an orphanage, an underground gang, and began taking over.

Rene has become the Hood, the Mask, and young Anatolis all in one.

Where he continues to take more power with the Anatolis bankroll, his blade, or someone else’s blood.

Except as he gains more power, he becomes more of a target.

With every day, more people are targeting one of his lives and what they can take from him.

The city is about to be pitched head-first into the front lines of more than one fight to the death.

It has no idea, and it’s one true defender is a serial-killer turned hitman who became a bounty-hunting money-lender that moonlights as a gang leader.

All before the month is over.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

Too much harem

The action is great and the narrator is fantastic, although male voices often sound too similar, requiring context clues to distinguish who's speaking. The harem aspect was boring and clumsy, with characters frequently grinding the story to halt while they profess, at length, their fanatic and inexplicable devotion to Rene. Nearly every female character is attracted to him, even if they only know him as a masked serial killer. The author's other titles handle it better. Here, it was annoyingly predictable by the end.

Amazing

It doesnt matter how fantastic William D Arand stories are, which are incomparable, the audiobooks elvevate them to a whole 'nother league.
There could be animated series made from the audio here.
if you needed this review to help convince your purchase, hurry up and start listening.

Awesome!

The cross-series tie-ins come thick and fast in this one so things are definitely building in the Runnerverse. This is a typical WDA book with harems which build beyond the management capacity of any mortal man. Anyway, a good read that moves well, and some diverse action broke things up effectively without derailing the story.

phenomenal whyming monster

this book was awesome and progressed nicely leading into some other books and characters from the other worlds. Can't wait for book 3

Great Sequel to one of my favorite books

Fantastic sequel to my favorite book by this author. It was just as good as the first book and brought in some more unique characters. I would highly recommend this book

Anothere great one

This series is great as a stand alone, but the interactions to the bigger universe that this book exists just make it even better. The MC is great, not because he is overbearing but because he isn't a beta type but still can be related to. I finished this listen in about 3 days because it pulled me in so hard.

worth the listen

Well, all of Arand's books are worth the listen. Where other authors in the genre get repetitive, Arand somehow keeps his books fresh. MM2 keeps the fun going.

Can’t get enough

As I stated I’m waiting on book three and can’t wait to see where it all leads. Lol never a dull moment

what if you had a second chance?

what if you had a second chance and you liked video games? the main character has morals, loose morals but he has them. He is trying to take over the city and deal with his harem. Not a lot of detail into the sex but they talk around it often. funny, entertaining, more adult due to he fire and sex talk.

This book is Great but

There are so many questions I'd like to ask. like where is Runners ai wife that was trapped in a battle against Zeus. How many years has it been since runners origin story? we got some dialogue with familiar goddesses but no answers. And I was also semi waiting on there being a portal being ripped open in front of Rene for the entire book due to what happens
