Why read it?

5 authors picked Monster Hunter International as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love how this book has it all: action, adventure, romance, and humor in spades. From the opening words, the snarky humor hooked me. I picked up the book, wanting to dislike it, and the author won me over from the first page.

I love that the bad guys are bad, the good guys are (mostly) good, and people have to make hard decisions not just to survive but to save the world.

I love the adrenaline-pumping action that blends seamlessly into the horror elements of this book. I read it in a single sitting because I could not put it down. Every page was filled with monsters, action, and suspense. I also love the core characters at the heart of this book.

All of them share different backgrounds but come together through a common thread. The humor in this book made me laugh out loud while reading it. I can’t stress enough just how fun it was to turn the page and see what happened next.  

I found this book so much fun! Great action and humor when an accountant and total supernatural skeptic wakes up in a hospital with no memory of murdering his boss-turned-werewolf in self-defense. Turns out all the monsters are real! He gets a job offer while in the hospital to work for…  Monster Hunter International.

From Mark's list on heroic journies.

Book cover of The High House

The High House by James Stoddard,

The Victorian mansion, Evenmere, is the mechanism that runs the universe.

The lamps must be lit, or the stars die. The clocks must be wound, or Time ceases. The Balance between Order and Chaos must be preserved, or Existence crumbles.

Appointed the Steward of Evenmere, Carter Anderson must learn the…

Owen Pitt probably thought he’d be arrested for pushing his boss out of a fourteenth-story window; instead, he wakes up in the hospital five days later and learns that monsters are not mere legend—they are real. In comes a job offer from Monster International, which eradicates magical threats lurking in the shadows. 

As a kid, I always loved fantastical stories that weaved in the “what if?” questions with my imagination. This enjoyable series opens up that wondrous world in a unique way.

I love Larry’s cheeky sense of humor. Sometimes you just need a book with irredeemable bad guys that you can kill with no moral dilemma. Also, he has strong, sensible women, as opposed to the “spunky” type who do stupid things like pick berries in werewolf-infested woods to prove they’re tough. I admire a woman who can handle a sniper rifle, a family, and run a company. Plus, trailer park elves and gangster gnomes. Makes me smile every time.

From Autumn's list on escaping a stressful day.
