Monster Hunt NYC

The Monster Hunt NYC, Book 1

De: Harmon Cooper

Narrado por: Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott

Shifters, giants, hungry beasts, the undead, creatures of legend, flying terrors - you name it, New York City has it!

Through the Monster Hunt app, Chase Knowles becomes the Alpha of two powerful Huntresses: one a half-dragon female fond of combat and banter, the other a cute warrior fond of reading spell books and wielding two killer blades.

Their goal? Hunt these mythological creatures in the parks, rooftops, and back alleys of New York City; build a fighting party to compete in brawls and tournaments in the city and beyond; earn money; and try their damnedest not to get arrested.

Warning: Monster Hunt NYC contains a light harem with monster girls, augmented reality, fantasy violence, a ton of action, and GameLit/LitRPG concepts. It was inspired by the Persona games, Pokemon Go!, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Amazing audio experience!

These guys have done an amazing job at bringing Monster Hunt NYC to life. The way they have used background music to ease the listeners into the mood, the sound effects to bring the scenes to life is just magnificent. It makes the story seem to go by faster than it really is. The music is great I particularly like the jazzy intro to the book. After listening to this it was a shame when it ended. I hope that they can continue to do such an amazing job with the rest of the series.

Pleasantly Surprised

This was not the first book I have read in this genre and I can say I am really happy at the things they did differently in The Monster Hunt NYC. Let’s start off with the narrators I mean I’ve been a fan of Jeff Hays for a while, so I was expecting him to knock it out of the park, but here comes Annie Ellicott just rounding out the cast perfectly! The background sounds used in the story to represent what was actually taking place was a nice change of pace for this genre, and I am going to have the Camel Song stuck in my head for the next few days (you’ll understand if you read the book). I have a few problems with some of the characters and how they were used in the story, but overall, the pace of the book was perfect, and I can’t wait for the next one to hit Audible!

what a performance.

honestly, I normally am not a fan of audiobooks with music in them, but holy hell did Jeff and Anne pull this off. The music really made sense in the context of the book and I really enjoyed the audiobook. These soundbooth theater folks can really put on a show.

The story seems heavily inspired by pokemon, but with a musical twist. I thought it was a fun book that skipped over a lot of grinding by the MC to make a concise story with a fairly obvious plotline. the plot isn't the main focus of the story though. the main focus of the story is the MC and his growing interactions with his new and old friends.

I'd highly recommend this book just for the music. it was fun and campy and I loved it.

Surprisingly good

Between the cover art and the introduction of the two hunters, I thought this might turn out to be another lame harem novel. It wasn't. No actual sex in this book, though it sounds like there might be in sequels, and there was am actual story. Basically an AR Pokemon Go for adults. definitely worth listening to.

Yes I will listen again.

The title says it all. I was captivated from the start. it is like a cross of Pokémon and the Sims.

I know it sounds weird but it works.

this book has no right being this good!

I'm not going to spoil any aspect of his book. not because the plots really good or the character development broiling. it's just the production value of this book is so good it's mind-blowing. I'd argue that slick main reason you should get this audiobook just a performance is just astounding. I originally got this book for a quick cheap read oh, only find myself blown Away!

Entertaining production

They performance is fantastic and overall makes this worth a listen. The overarching story was good, but I have some issues with the writing. It really felt as if they had been building up drama and possible double cross only to wave it away in a single page.

this was a surprise

when I downloaded this book I didn't realize that connected to another book I had from two years ago that I never continued

A whole new type of thing!

I was surprised by this book and others like it! You are following characters playing a game in a future time where technology lets you not just play a game but experience it. But there is always some quirk or something that makes it more. This book, Ascend online, The Life Reset Series are not going to go down as literary classics, but they are fun! Sometimes that is just what you're hoping for. The only thing disappointing is that the next books are not available!

What a surprise

To be honest I was recommended this through the app so I had no idea what I was getting into however once I started listening I was instantly hooked the character so lovable the game like setting is easy to understand surprisingly the battle scenes are very detailed
