Summary
Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life had been a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty.
That was before Melody, a contractor, more or less blew his life up as if it were a building packed full of C-4. Then she pranced around the ashes of it like it was the end of the world and was conjuring up the end times herself. All while breaking in a rookie by the name of Vanessa into the PID. A gung-ho and eager young detective looking to prove herself. Then commandeering and recruiting a cleaning lady who turned out to be an elven dryad sorceress who viewed killing people as little more than emptying the trash can.
Gus had lived through it, though. Made it work for him and had come out of it without too many new scars. An adventure that he hadn’t wanted any part of...that involved the Fed being blown up, a stadium full of Paras all going into a feral rage, and breaking off a plot hatched by what felt like an organization that rivaled the Fed.
Which apparently was all in a day’s work, right up until they fired you for doing that work because you made the brass look bad.
Without a job, more people relying on him than ever, and no direction, Gus is going to have to put on his big boy pants and figure something out. And soon.
It’s a good thing that he’s a boogieman. Because, being an apex predator that made the entirety of the paranormal world fear him was something he could fall back on. He could lean into it and make it work for him.
He’d done it before when he was in the military. Made a name for himself out there in the bloody desert. He was "The Hunter". A name that the elven mothers now used to instill fear into misbehaving children. A name that grown men and women wouldn’t discuss in polite company. Except, despite Gus’s best intentions to get back to his stable nonlife, he’s going to get thrown right back into the fray. Whether he likes it or not, he’s about to be handed a new problem that’s going to mess up what little remained of his life.
Unfortunately, his past was going to catch up to him and meet up with his future.
Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen to it at your own risk.

Need a pin up board
Great addition to the wider multiverse that is this author and his other handle, although sometimes I think I need a notes section to keep track of all the crossover.

It’s not over yet.
I would suggest that if you’re going to read / listen to these books that you google all books by this author and read them in order. There is so much that makes sense, only if you’ve read previous books. Characters that pop in and out are the stars (or at least feature more prevalently) of previous books. You’ll be fine without reading them as long as you’ve read the previous book in this series.
The excellent narration by Andrea Parsneau gives life and depth to the characters.
This series is beautifully written and put together, with each story unveiling a little bit more of the back story of each character and what drives them. Good and evil from a human perspective is not as clear cut as it should be. Living monsters and nightmares undertake the fight for good, to prevent the human and para world from mixing, no one wants another inquisition after all.
At the heart of it, love and friendship, brotherhood, and a heavy dose of denial, lust, and squaddie humour lead the way.
I laughed out loud, and was engrossed in a world where the boogie man, and a whole host of paranormal species usually seen as the monster can be the hero.

a bit much
its a bit to much this time. i know i know. i went in to this series knowing it was a hareem novel. but this one is less adult esk and more 13 year old drivel.
its set in the same world as the last one and this time makes even less sense. also the author moves to far forward in the harem. 3 to 4 to quickly. just sigh. its not even funny or erotic
