Summary

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down, organized crime syndicates to break.

Gus’ 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 helped him make a new life, which he himself ended blowing up.

A cushy new job with the FED, thrown out the window with a single gunshot.

All based on an assumption of who was working for who, and that he’d been on the wrong side of the equation.

And so ended his career in law enforcement after he became the assassin of a presidential candidate.

Now Gus is on to the next job - this time, working for his contractor and wife. The job they’re about to be given is a high-paying one.

The thing is, that the people they’re going up against? They’re just out to see the world burn. To send it screaming back down into the dark ages.

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 even in this situation. To hunt, investigate, and watch from the shadows.

Wouldn’t be the first time he’d put his life on the line, either.

Unfortunately, for everyone involved, the long forgotten and primordial past was rearing its ugly head.

Gus knows he can certainly punch above his own weight class, but this case might just be the one that ends him.

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 at your own risk.

Woah, what next?

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 rest in this series, but I feel like you’d gain more from reading all the other books first.
I can’t get enough of this author, plus the excellent narration by Andrea Parsneau.
I actually started listening to the audible versions of these books because of her narration of another series. And it’s so worth it.

Beautifully written and put together, each story unveils a little bit more of the back story of each character and what drives them. In a world ending (as they know it) situation, with living monsters and nightmares, it’s a basic tale of good vs evil. At the heart of it, love and friendship, brotherhood, and a heavy dose of squaddie humour lead the way.
I laughed out loud, I cried as my heart broke, 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.

Third book is worst as always

First book was good, but this started getting worse by second book and now it is at its worst. Too much focus on harem. This wasn't the first story that I have read from Arand so I was interested about connections to other books, but as always, third book is the worst because main character has again collected harem that steals the focus.
