About this listen

Whether it's kitsune running rampant in the museum, were-gorillas rampaging at the zoo, or a cupid wreaking havoc on her daughter's birthday party, Jess Friedman can handle any monster the supernatural community of Cleveland can throw at her.

Except maybe the disapproving stares from the women at her daughter's day care. Or the awkward conversations with her rabbi about her working for the Catholic Church as a New Templar, hunting down the things that go bump in the night.

That's right, Jess Friedman isn't just an ordinary mother of three trying to make it through the world, she's also the official Cleveland Regional Monster Hunter for the Holy Roman Catholic Church (What? You thought Bubba was the only one?). This Jewish mother is anything but stereotypical as she battles demons, tames monsters, negotiates with a vampire lord, and tries to get snacks delivered to her daughter's kindergarten class on time!

This hilarious volume collects the first four Monster Hunter Mom novellas by J.D. Blackrose (The Soul Wars):

  • Tweety & the Monkey Man
  • Runaway
  • Handle with Care
  • End of the Line

The Monster Hunter Mom stories take place in the popular Bubba the Monster Hunter shared universe, along with the escapades of Mark Wojcik, Mason Dixon, Caitlin Kelley, and of course, Bubba himself.

This bundle of four stories was amazing. The author J.D. Blackrose impressed me with her creativity and humour, like what will happen to a gorilla bitten by a were-gorilla? Or is fighting against monsters really more frightening than to face a babysitter? The main character Jess Friedman knows the answer. The danger gets closer and closer to her family and she needs all her skills and allies to protect her loved ones.
It was great to follow her adventures. Her character is bad ass and tough. It fits with her not to show deeper feelings, but I still missed to get some deeper inner thoughts.
The stories are fun and entertaining and combine a lot of fighting and action with the daily struggle to manage a family.
The story is narrated by the author. The voice of J.D. Blackrose fits perfect with the characters and the story.

Four stories full of action and fun
