Now, he and a crew of elite international monster hunters are taking the fight to the chief baddie himself, Asag, the god of chaos, in an effort to preempt humanity’s holocaust. Owen Pitt is tired of waiting for the end of the world. We are treated to page-turning action, serious weaponry, a great monster auction scene, and a satisfying knock-down drag-out assault on the bad guys’ hideout: all good stuff.

On the plus side: Thank goodness for the Shoggoth. Guardian is missing a lot of the humor, devil-may-care monster battles, and quirky characters that make the other books in the series shine. Nothing meant against protective mothers. I get that she is obsessed with the baby-How can we miss it? She tells us ad nauseum-but her single-minded fervor bogs the story down.
I get that the maternal instinct is strong. Julie’s solo, Sarah Connor-like one-woman crusade gets a little tiring. I am a big Monster Hunters International series fan, but this is not one of my favorites. She must also deal with some personal issues when her evil, Master Vampire mother wants Ray for herself. In her desperate search for Ray, Julie single-handedly cuts a wide swath through the monsters of Europe. Needless to say, the adze does not play fair. It wants the ancient artifact she’s been chosen to guard in exchange for baby Ray. While her husband and legendary monster-hunter hero, Owen Pitt, is off fighting a chaos god with most of MHI ( Monster Hunter Siege), Julie Shackleford is stuck minding the shop and watching over baby Ray, aka Little Bubba.Ī routine recruitment turns into a trap, and Julie is forced to bargain with an adze, a powerful, sneaky vampire-like creature that possesses regular folks.
