But life interfered, and Bubba found himself holster-deep in the family business: monster hunting. Now he's the Southeastern Regional Hunter for the Holy Roman Catholic Church...Bubba has to save the world from the things that go bump in the night! Just as soon as he's done with his beer. And maybe after one more lap dance.

story is ok, narration is shite.
this wears out quickly and thats mainly because of the narrator. he has no real talent for doing a female tone, and add in trying to do accents really skews it up quickly. further more a major issue is te scene changes, at one point they swap between several characters perspectives but there is no pause or any sort of transition, its done as if halfway through the sentence the scene just changes with no warning and suddenly your wondering just wtf is going on when it suddenly changes again.
im dropping this series like a sidhe holding a wrought iron pin cushion.

Supernatural horror detective thriller
I listened to the audiobook of this story. The story was good and perfect to listen to around Halloween. This is a story of two detectives who deal with supernatural happenings from monsters, ghosts, possessions to keep them hidden and protect humans. Overall, the premise of the story was good but I found the flow to be off sometimes and the story a little too jumpy from scene to scene which for me made it difficult to follow--especially in the audio version. Scenes are very descriptive so if you are a squeamish, this is a warning. The narrator did a good job with distinguishing voices but at times I found the pacing of the narrator a bit fast. I found myself having some difficulty with the British accent accent of narrator, The accent was fine given the location of the storyline; however, I just had to concentrate harder (especially during faster paced narration) to follow the story and had to shorten the listening periods. (This is noted as some may have an easier or harder time with the accent and may prefer the printed or ebook version instead). Overall, I enjoyed the storyline and audiobook. I received a copy of the audiobook for free at my request and have left this review voluntarily.

If the Bill and supernatural had an illegitimate child
If the Bill (uk police tv show) and supernatural had an illegitimate child this book would be it, there is something quintessentially British about the portrayal of the characters and depicts exactly how I would expect the uk police would deal with this sort of strange. This book paints a vivid world that I find relatable. The only thing that niggles at my enjoyment of this audio book is the poor welsh accent the narrator adopts for a few characters, that being said I still thoroughly enjoy this book!
