Monster Hunting 101

The Hunters, Book 1

De: Richard A Bamberg

Narrado por: Ryan Jeanmaire

When Jesse's old girlfriend calls him requesting an immediate meeting late at night, he thinks of a lot of reasons she might have called. None of them are anywhere near the truth. Instead of a late night booty call, Gail brings him into a world he didn't know existed - ghouls, werewolves, and ghosts - and they all seem to be after Jesse's blood. Gail wants Jesse to put a silver bullet in her heart to keep her from becoming the monster she hunts, but there's no way Jesse is going to kill the girl he once loved. He convinces her to let him restrain her for the full moon. Luckily, a local Adult Intimacies store has all the bondage gear he needs.

Now he just has to fight off a pack of werewolves single-handedly while keeping her from ripping his own throat out.

Sex, guns, and werewolves, what could go wrong?

Meh

I might have enjoyed this better with a different narrator. The performance just wasn't right for this book. The book wasn't really what I expected. I did like it for the most part. From a female perspective the book was a bit sexist. That was pretty annoying as well. I was underwhelmed.

Good characters and a fun story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The story, characters and plot were interesting. Gail and Jesse were enjoyable lead characters and, though the narrator did a good job of providing unique voices for each character, he just lacked...something... for me. I felt like a war veteran like Jesse needed more grit to his voice. Ryan Jeanmaire DID grow on me, a little, towards the end. So, I'll probably look for the next book in the series.

Fantastic!

Could have used a different narrator

Any additional comments?

I didn't have any great expectations when I downloaded this listen. I loved the cover so I thought, why not.

I liked the listen but I think it deserved a different narrator. Ryan Jeanmarie has a good voice and I will look for him in other titles, but he was not the best choice for this material. Jesse, the main male character, was a war veteran and a bit of a badass. That didn't come across in this narration. I never felt completely convinced that the character was capable of doing what he was doing. It just wasn't there in the narration.

Unfortunately, I'm one and done with this listen. The story, though good, was not that compelling and the narration, though also good, did not spark enough in me to want more.

Don't let the narration ruin it for you.

As a fan of Bamberg's "Wanderers" series, I had to give this a shot. I think this was an early attempt. He has gotten better in his story-telling. This is a GOOD story, not amazing, but very enjoyable. I can see elements that seem to fold with his other series and wonder if this might've been his warm-up.

I wasn't a fan of the narrator. I felt the production was lackluster and simply didn't do it for me...but everybody has their own tastes. Others might feel different.
