Publisher's summary

A giant redneck in Fairyland, what could possibly go wrong?

Everything. Absolutely everything.

Monsters, Magic, & Mayhem collects four novellas chronicling Bubba the Monster Hunter's trip through the lands of the Fae in search of his kidnapped sister. Yeah, he didn't know he had a sister, either. And that joke's old, man.

Into the Mystic - Bubba and his troupe of merry morons has to find their way to Fairyland to rescue his sister. It's not as easy as it sounds, and it involves Bubba learning a lot of uncomfortable truths about why his mother walked out and his maybe not-quite human heritage.

Cold as Ice - Bubba meets his grandmother, which should be great. Except she's the psychotic Queen of the Winter Court and wants to pretty much murder everyone. There's torture, tights, and Bubba dancing. Which is pretty much torture in tights. So lots of torture.

Hot Blooded - Bubba and co. travel to the Summer Court in their quest for his sister, only to find that his grandfather, while less abjectly psychopathic than his ex-wife, Mab, is still kind of a douche. And just when the team thought they were on the right track to finish their quest, there's a dragon. A dragon. This is not something growing up in Georgia prepares you for.

Shades of Grey - Bubba is closing in on his sister and her kidnapper, the Shakespearean trickster Puck. Except, he's not like hot Loki trickster. He's more like cut-your-throat-while-you-sleep-and-tell-you-a-knock-knock-joke-while-you're-bleeding-out trickster. Bubba has to battle his way through a horde of zombies just to get the opportunity to go on an old-fashioned dungeon crawl (with spiders, because...dungeon) to maybe finally confront Puck and save his sister.

Then they get home, and things get really screwed up!

Bubba

Bubba ain't never gett'n no five stars. it wouldn't be right y'all. I was done, but this dang thing wanted all of 15 words ..... hell, not sure if I can spell that many.

I love this series

I grew up in the mountains of Appalachia. Bubba reminds me of one of my best friends growing up. He’s big, strong, and has a heart of gold. I know it might not be for everyone but every time I hear that southern accent, I think of my friend Matt and it reminds me of all the good times we had hunting, fishing and getting into trouble.
I don’t know if it’s the best story or the most original, but I love every minute of it.

Last story was weak

It was great listening to first 3 chapters but last one was just go and kill stuff without giving the feeling there was a story involved. It felt like filler.

non-stop action

I love all of BUBBA THE MONSTER HUNTER series. If you like action, adventure and romance. Then this series is for you. I'm addicted to this series. I always need more.

Oh Hell Yes!

The only thing this book needs is more cowbell! I really like the main character and development of the whole cast. Very much a fan of redneck!

Amazing continuation of Bubba's story

you won't want to stop listening, the story and narration is great, and the laughs keep coming

Love this series

Bubba is a lot like the guys I grew up with so it’s a bit like sitting around a bonfire telling beer stories.

You gotta love Bubba

Bubba is maybe a little extra lovable in this forth season of his adventures. Or maybe that's just the setting and supporting cast. In any event, nothing in these stories disappoints, It's more of the same good old Bubba and friends with some new faces and a great exploration of a new setting touched on in the last season. Bubba grows, the setting grows, and we get the pleasure of being there for it.

Such a great, hilarious series!

This is such a great series, so funny & adventurous. I love how all sorts of different monsters from all kinds of different lore. And John Solo does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. I can't wait for what's next!

Funny and fun

I enjoyed this chapter of the loveable redneck monster hunter as much as the others
