Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Publisher's summary

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th 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.

It's Supernatural meets The Accountant

I enjoyed MHI immensely. If you're a fan of series and movies like Supernatural and John Carpenter's Vampires, this novel is for you.

Pretty good

This was a pretty good book, over all 9/10. A few things could have gone differently, but it was still really good.

A Great 1st Book

To this day this book holds my personal record for the fastest hook in any book I've read/listened to. And I had a great time listening all throughout it. I can't imagine anyone else Narrating the series. Perfect Narrator, fantastic music in the start and end that sends chills down my spine, and a great entertaining story about slaying monsters in a modern setting using modern tech. Awesome all around!

Man with gun kills things really, really efficient

Besides having several twists in the horror and beautiful imagery, the attention to detail is amazing. I'm a sucker for worlds with a catalog of information you need to remember. That's why I liked The Dresden Files as I had to remember beasties and their alignments. Great book and I cant wait to delve into more of the stories.

it's like a mix between underworld and blade

if you're expecting something deep this isn't for you if you want something that's entertaining and funny and reminds you of the '90s movies that's a little cheesy this is it I legit thought the character might die it kept me on the edge of my seat because I was excited to see what was going to happen that's a good book

no negative thing but nothing amazing good all round

there are no bad things per say unless you count the lack of amazing things it's good all round okay at worst the only thing I don't really like is the mc's romance situation they show the love interest (Li) into her current partner and nothing crazy happens to the Li to do a hard switch up she just dropped him at the worst time making me dislike the Li as a character more overall cause she shown to be loyal in everything els she does

Had some good moments

Right from the start I was put off. This accountant gets attacked by his boss, who is a werewolf. The accountant pulls out a gun he keeps strapped to his ankle. Later they explain why an accountant would have an ankle gun, but it was too little too late.

Every single military cliche you have ever heard is in this long long book. There were moments when I laughed and I liked the take on Elves and on Orcs. It was no where near as good as Jonathan Maberry or Dean Koontz. You want monster's try Koontz's Frankenstein series. You want tough guy and Zombies try Maberry's Patient Zero.

Oliver Wyman did ok, but I have never a big fan of his and I wondered if the story would have sounded better from Ray Porter or Wil Wheaton.
