About this listen
Shifters, giants, hungry beasts, the undead, creatures of legend, flying terrors - you name it, New York City has it!
Through the Monster Hunt app, Chase Knowles becomes the Alpha of two powerful Huntresses: one a half-dragon female fond of combat and banter, the other a cute warrior fond of reading spell books and wielding two killer blades.
Their goal? Hunt these mythological creatures in the parks, rooftops, and back alleys of New York City; build a fighting party to compete in brawls and tournaments in the city and beyond; earn money; and try their damnedest not to get arrested.
Warning: Monster Hunt NYC contains a light harem with monster girls, augmented reality, fantasy violence, a ton of action, and GameLit/LitRPG concepts. It was inspired by the Persona games, Pokemon Go!, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

I'm happy I gave this a chance

This SBT production showcases what I have come to expect from their quality narrators, but i have to say I was surprised as this raises it up a notch again mostly as judicious use of sound effects gives an extra oomph to moments of tension, hilarity and realism.
In the books the songs ( not being musically minded myself) didn't bother me too much but hearing theme music which was initially distracting soon becomes a good counterpoint to the main action as does the songs as the extra depth works well.
Having just listened to an Audio BBC radio drama which I was a bit dissatisfied with as their mix of special effects/narration wasn't as on point as I would have liked, nor their sound level.
But this easily matched this so the time taken to produce this was well spent and appreciated
The fans who loved the books will appreciate the extra work in this and my only negative is I'm a bit worried with such a long time between books and audio if the pace will maintain at this rate as I know book 2 was a lot more intriguing and I look forward to this showcasing on audio and I'm hoping not going to be such a wait.

The combat scenes are amazingly well detailed, don’t stop listening for a second or you’ll loose track of a fighter and want to skip back to follow properly.
The interactions between characters were brilliant, with tensions growing and playing out in a satisfying and tasteful manner.
The mix of monster collecting and battling, with the VR, realworld crossover has been a joy to discover and explore.
The writing is excellent and the voice actors really brought it all to life.
Book 2 is a must have now!
And the song after the credits? Amazing!

Very light on the technicalities yet thoroughly enjoyable, especially with the Jeff and Annie's fantastic production.
My only complaint, and one that cost the story a point, is the inclusion of sexualisation and porn. The addition of scenes describing breasts, bare flesh, dry humping and grinding was wholly unneccesary and added nothing at all to the sort and simply ensured that my wife and daughter (who love Gamelit and Pokémon) won't be partaking in this. A.J. Cerna & Derek Alan Siddoway's Djinn Tamer series show that this genre needs no such 'action' to make the story interesting and maintains the action.
In all though, an absolutely brilliant production of a good story and I will be interested to read the next one.
Fabulous production but a few common issues.
