Monster's Mercy

By: William D. Arand

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

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.

A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

Except the verdict is already long since passed and needs no deliberation.

His sentence was being sent hundreds of years into the past, into a different world even, where he must live a life for the betterment of others. Every action judged as it happens and weighed out against him.

But even this new idyllic life he’s been living in for 18 years is about to go off the rails and Rene will be forced back into a life lived in the underworld.

Armed with a few gifts granted to him by the one who judged him, gifts better suited to a fantasy about living in a video game, Rene has to maneuver his way back to his new life while using all the things he’d learned in his old one.

Except using those skills is a double-edged sword. If he’s not careful, he’ll end up right back where he started.

Dead and on his way to hell.

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.

Can I have another?

Is there some way to preorder the next one before it is written? Semi serious question.

The book was excellent (Will does good work). Andrea's voice work though made it...Amazing? Fantastic? Impressively well done emotion, accents of characters matched to their origins, just very well done.

I have listened to another book or two Andrea performed for Will and it was good, but it was nowhere near this good. Teared up a little at one point, and I laughed hard enough at other points my coworker was giving me funny looks.

The one bit that got a little old was his dislike of the Watcher, didn't really feel like it merited that much vitriol.

Oh man such a great book

Oh this is a great story and I think you would enjoy it. Andrea does such an amazing job narrating. 10/10 would recommend this book and you should buy it and listen.

Spectacular

I absolutely loved this book. Andrea is incredible and breathes life into each character perfectly.

great story

the bloopers at the end. loved them . looking forward to the other books

Absolutely Fantastic

Any William D Arand/Randi Darren book is a must read for me and when you add in Andrea Parsneau narrating one well that is a must listen as well! This book was already possibly my favorite book when I read it and now listening to Andrea’s narration just makes it that much better! This book hits all of the buttons humor, tension, romance and action. The characters are marvelous they are very complex and as soon as you believe you know what they are about another aspect is thrown in. This is a marvelously entertaining book and the only problem is that I need the next book! Great Narration Andrea in case I hadn’t made that clear! Buy this book I believe you will enjoy it!
