“When all else fails, the ass end of a carp makes a damn fine weapon.” 

Your new favorite monster hunter has arrived! Bubba the Monster Hunter has some competition in this horror-comedy collection from best-selling author duo Gail Z. and Larry N. Martin! 

By day, Mark Wojcik can be found elbow-deep in engine grease, making cars and trucks safe for the highway. By night, he can be found traipsing through the wilds of Pennsylvania, making the world safe for humans. He's more than just a mechanic, he's a New Templar Knight. He travels the backroads and byways fighting weresquonks, ningen, selkies, ghosts, and . . . gnomes? Is that gnome . . . naked? (Sigh.) 

Season One collects the first four novellas in the Spells, Salt, & Steel series: Spells, Salt, & Steel; Open Season; Deep Trouble; and Close Encounters.

Plaudits to author and narrator both. Definitely does not deserve 3 stars at all! Will add author to my list. I love the humour and the no nonsense, straight to it story telling. Finger 🫰 snaps.

Good listen!!

Imagination, fantasy creatures and a hero, an easy enjoyable listen. Good narration, look forward to book two.

... even a bit too much.
I can't quite agree with myself about the reader: he does do voices, which I like. But he keeps going with the same cadence.

I guess what's less good is the story. The frame and characters are very thin. Just that: framework for the action. And even the action bits get monotonous. Different creatures, ok. But that's about it. The title of the book says it all.

Bubba has no competition here.

Good relaxation

Light and not overly taxing but a whole.lot of fun. Defo looking forward to part 2!

Very good!

Not a bad listen. The narrator was OK, I quite enjoyed the voices for different characters.
I'm not anti lgbt or against gay characters or lifestyles that dont fit the norm but thi is pushed whenever possible by the author to the point where it starts to get a bit cliched

like a super woke Harry Dresden
