About this listen
New entry in the best-selling Monster Hunter International series by Dragon Award-winning authors Larry Correia and Sarah A. Hoyt
When Owen Pitt and the rest of the Monster Hunter International crew are called away to mount a month’s-long rescue mission in a monster-infested nightmare dimension, Julie Shackleford - Owen’s wife and descendant of MHI founder Bubba Shackleford - is left behind. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son Ray. Julie’s devoted to the little guy, but the slow pace of office work and maternity leave are starting to get to her. But when a routine field call brings her face-to-face with an unspeakable evil calling itself Brother Death, she’ll get more excitement than she ever hoped for.
Julie is the Guardian of a powerful ancient artifact known as the Kamaresh Yar, and Brother Death wants it. In the wrong hands, it could destroy reality as we know it. Julie would die before giving it up.
Then Ray goes missing, taken by Brother Death. The price for his safe return: the Kamaresh Yar. If Julie doesn’t hand over the artifact it means death - or worse - for baby Ray. With no other choice left to her, Julie agrees to Brother Death’s demands. But when you’re dealing with an ancient evil, the devil is in the details.
To reclaim her son, Julie Shackleford will have to fight her way through necromantic death cults, child-stealing monsters, and worse. And she’ll have to do it all before Brother Death can unleash the Kamaresh Yar.
It’s one woman against an army of monsters. But Julie Shackleford is no ordinary woman - she’s one tough mother!

Great performance. Fun story.
Superpowers that are difficult to actuate/access... from fighting Super-vampire hand-to-hand then to fighting normal skin walker in helicopters with normal strength/speed... is always a tricky author balance, but great fun.

Good enough but not enough.
I am an avid follower of the Monster Hunter series and I absolutely love all the kick ass action of Owen Pitt. I just wish I had the follow up from this one. I'm waiting for the great battle.
I did love the motherly softness and adoration that the narrator successfully portrays throughout. I loved the ending as well but I wish it had a little more of a build up to it instead of it feeling like a side note.
Above all, still a die hard fan of the Moster Hunter series and again can't wait for more, hopefully they are released sooner this time!!

Great writer, poor narrator choice
I couldn't even get caught up in the story because of the awful narration. As a huge fan of the Monster Hunter series, I was super keen for this book to come out. I love LOVE my audible versions of this series and have listened to them many times. Oliver Wyman narrates them all brilliantly and then...this. What the heck?! The narrator does not have the range of voices the Oliver Wyman does. Not even close. OK, not even in the same universe. It sounds like she didn't even bother to listen to all of the previous books in the series and mangled the pronunciation of so many words it was like nails on a chalkboard. I think I speak for many of us when I say I'd rather listen to Oliver Wyman narrating the whole book in falsetto (which he does beautifully in ALL the previous books without breaking a sweat) than have to listen to this. Larry Correia and Oliver Wyman had a FANTASTIC winning combination in this series so, why mess with it so horribly at this point I'll never understand. I only made it half way through the book before I gave up and stopped listening. I ended up buying a hard copy and, yes, the story was good but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Very disappointing from a die hard fan of this series.

So disappointing
Firstly MHI is my very favourite book series. I have listened to the series maybe 12-13 times in total and I absolutely love it every time
This is not an MHI book
It is so obviously not written by Larry Correia, it does not have the humour, it does not have the same feel for the characters
And this new narrator is obviously not a fan. She has not listened to any of the others and her terrible attempts at character voices is appalling. Even if she listened just to get the names correct!
When Oliver Wyman reads the narrative - you know instantly who is talking.
That’s 13 hours of my life I won’t get back :(

Choose someone else
The narrator is just wrong, like she hasn’t listened to any of the previous books.
Also it’s written differently and it’s just not Julie.
Recommend just reading This one.

Not like the other books
I never read books written by two authors and this book has shown me why.
You just can’t have someone else write existing characters. They will almost never get it right.
I suppose it was possible since we’ve never been inside Julie Shacklefords head before - but if this is an example of her thoughts - I’m glad we haven’t.
She’s so WHINY.
And I doubt Larry would ever use the word “décolletage “.
The narrator over dramatised - ending too many sentences on an upper inflection (which personally drives me crazy) - and Julies Southern accent was non existent.
Honestly I would have preferred the regular series narrator (Oliver Wyman) to do this one too.
The story isn’t too bad - more action than Siege.
