Monster Hunter Memoirs: Sinners By: Larry Correia, John Ringo Narrated by: Oliver Wyman Lots of excellent and exciting stories of hunting creatures of the supernatural and paranormal! Never dull and full of crazy stuff! Lots of humor to go with the suspense! I have to get more of these books! Great imagination and creativity when it came to the creatures and plot! Loved the characters but they often didn't last long in a career that fought monsters daily! The narration was totally on point! Wonderful!!!

Crossposted at WordPress, Blogspot,, Booklikes & Librarything and linked at Goodreads & Mobileread by Bookstooge’s Exalted Permission Title: Sinners Series: Monster Hunter Memoirs #2 Author: John Ringo & Larry Correia Rating: 3.5 of 5 Stars Genre: Urban Fantasy Pages: 270 Format: Digital Edition Synopsis: Gary Stu bangs an underage Elf [she was only 45] and when her vengeful trailertrash relatives chase him down, he requests a transer to the New Orleans MHI office. Once there, the action is non-stop, the monsters relentless and the MCB are the good guys too. Magic is on the rise, for no reason anyone can tell and even two-bit sorcerers can suddenly raise powerful elder beings. But even Gary Stu can't kill ALL the monsters. Shackleford the IV and Earl come into town with the Happy Face group to help out. But Mardi Gras is coming and things are going to go apocalyptic. My Thoughts: This was MUCH better than Grunge. Most of it was that Chad, otherwise known as Gary Stu, is just too busy to do anything else except narrate MHI adventures. Which means that there was only one theological reference [which was sketchy as all get out] and two cockhound stories about girls. The rest of the book was totally focused on saving New Orleans from a huge influx of monsters. It was the type of story that I expect when I read an MHI book. Guns, carnage and death abound. Agent Franks gets involved near the end and I've always liked stories that included him, even before reading Nemesis (MHI #5). The end, where MHI, MCB [Monster Control Bureau] and even some civilians fight a horde of monster crawdads and just about everybody dies except Chad, Agent Franks and one or two others, was tough to read. It's never enjoyable reading about the destruction of the good guys. I do hope the 3rd book comes out soon, as there are several instances of burrows appearing, people disappearing and vague references to some new power arising. The local Vampire Lord calls it a “tourist” and it is apparently what is causing the influx of power. But we don't get to that part of the story yet. It is referenced but the full implications and the real action concerning it haven't come about. Honestly, that is what I wanted to read about. Looking at Correia's website however, it doesn't appear that the third book, entitled Saints, will be ready any time soon. He just turned in his parts of it to the editor and now the fitting together must commence. But after this book, I am looking forward to it. Unlike after the first book where I really questioned if I wanted to read this one at all. To sum up. Good MHI book, lot less bad theology, lot less boinking of chicks and the inclusion of Agent Franks. Good stuff. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"With New Orleans out of control, Chad Oliver Gardenier, one of Monster Hunter International's premier hunters, has been dispatched from Seattle to reinforce the beleaguered members of MHI's Hoodoo Squad in their fight against darkness. Chad had once taken a werewolf while wearing only jogging gear. With half a dozen loup garou appearing every full moon, houdon necromancers, fifty-foot bipedal crocodiles and more vampires than a Goth concert, New Orleans in the '80s gives a whole new perspective to the term "Hell on Earth." Chad may be able to collect enormous bounties but there's one catch: he has to stay alive to do it"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

It’s all a very busy and exciting romp through the city and in and out of the cemeteries. But, as exciting and entertaining as it is, I started to become fatigued by the repetition of “kill vampire, kill werewolf, kill ghoul, kill the giant frogs, kill the giant rat, kill, kill, kill”. Each chapter is a short story in itself, but they all lead up toward the end…which sets the scene for the next book. ( )
