Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer. It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit. It’s actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good . . . Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

"I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I'd heard good things about Correia and this book/series and it was great. I knew the author was/is a gun nut and that definitely showed throughout, but the plot, pacing, world building, and even character work was great. it's amazing how quickly the stakes, tension, obstacles, and such are escalated by the end but every plot point and revelation was done well enough to make sense and feel earned, to some degree at least. <br/>gun nuts with a mind open enough to enjoy fantasy will devour this series, but I think most fantasy lovers should enjoy it. I could really enjoy more books like this. it's like Harry Dresden, but military/mercenary rather than detective. <br/>it feels wrong calling this, or even Dresden, urban fantasy because the genre's been dominated by female targeted romance novels with a bare minimum fantasy backdrop. those should be paranormal romance novels, but if you look at the top 100 urban fantasy novels on Amazon, I bet 90+ have more romance than most fantasy readers would enjoy.<br/>anyway... kinda went on a romance tangent there, which this book mostly avoided haha. Book 1 was good and I'll probably continue the series. not right away, but I will someday."

"I think so. But, I listen to books. I'm not much of a "reader". "
