Publisher's summary

Accountant turned professional monster hunter Owen Zastava Pitt managed to stop the nefarious Old Ones' invasion plans last year, but as a result made an enemy out of one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now an evil death cult known as the Church of the Temporary Mortal Condition wants to capture Owen in order to gain the favor of the great Old Ones. The Condition is led by a fanatical necromancer known as the Shadow Man. The government wants to capture the Shadow Man and has assigned the enigmatic Agent Franks to be Owen's full-time bodyguard, which is a polite way of saying that Owen is monster bait.

With supernatural assassins targeting his family, a spy in their midst, and horrific beasties lurking around every corner, Owen and the staff of Monster Hunter International don't need to go hunting, because this time the monsters are hunting them. Fortunately, this bait is armed and very dangerous.

"This lighthearted, testosterone-soaked sequel to 2009's Monster Hunter International will delight fans of action horror with elaborate weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, disgusting monsters, and an endless stream of blood and body parts." ( Publishers Weekly)

Better than book one

A solid follow up to book 1 that continues to build and move this series forward. Excellent story with some new and interesting characters. A lot of fun to listen too with another perfect performance by Oliver Wyman.

Can't get enough!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love this series! I can't wait to go for a long drive to hear more!

More Monsters and Heroes! Fun sequel!

If you could sum up Monster Hunter Vendetta in three words, what would they be?

Picking up right where MHI #1 leaves off, this second book in the series is loaded with all kinds of monster fun. Again, Owen Pitt and his team of monster hunters are on the front line defending the whole world from a global extinction event. After MHI interfered with the Condition’s attempt to take over the Earth, Owen ends up on the bad side of the Overlord. There’s a bounty on his head and the book starts out fast and never lets up. We learn a little more about Franks, who ends up being one of the most interesting characters in the story. Silly and fun, the series reminds me of Disney’s The Incredibles.

Chupacabras, Zombies, and Vampires! Oh, my!

Owen Z. Pitt and the rest of Monster Hunter International go to Mexico to take care of a routine chupacabra infestation. and then things go very wrong.
Great story, great narration!

leaves you wanting more!

I'm so happy to have found this series. After I post this review I will purchase the rest of it. It's written very well and plays out like the really good well crafted epic series that it is.

Awesome sequel!

I didn't think I'd fall in love with a book series and narrator like I have with this series!

A second stellar book and performance.

I'm hooked on the series and love the way Oliver Wyman gives voice to each character. Starting next book tomorrow.

Alright Sequel

My big complaint is the mostly one dimensional characters. For me they are portrayed in a way that makes you care for them. Plenty of action if you like that, boring dialogue, and some fun monster interpretations. Oh yeah, and a really slow acting villain to the point to reducing his"great"intelligence.
I would interested in a story about Milo or the Science Squad of Hunters but these will do for now.

Another Great Book by Correia

Would you consider the audio edition of Monster Hunter Vendetta to be better than the print version?

I really enjoy print books, but good audio-book performers can bring a great book to life. This was a wonderful sequel to MHI 1. The story was good, plenty of laughs, worth the time and money.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

Wyman did another outstanding job with his performance here. Some performers take away from the story, Wyman adds to it.

Any additional comments?

Great book to listen to.
