Summary

New supernatural mystery for fans of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story!

From brilliant debut writer L J Weller, and narrated by Sex Education's Tanya Reynolds, meet Tansy Bloom, Monster Hunter. Buckle up: there's a new slayer in town.

Three months ago, twenty-eight-year-old Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees.

At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk, and he intends to capture it. But Tansy’s not convinced. For one thing, the mysterious black dog Rex is hunting is able to vanish into thin air. For another, everyone who’s encountered the black dog is dying in a series of freak accidents. Bad news for Tansy, who’s just come face-to-face with the creature herself.

Star Crossed Genres

Not a bad book but an unusual mix of genres. it reads like a combination of fantasy and trashy romance novel. Think twighlight without the Emo and your pretty close. I would recommend this and if you haven't found 'The stranger times' which is similar but has more humour, would recommend that too.

Interesting idea

Story was ok but not a lot really happens and to say she’s a Monster Hunter there’s no talk of any special abilities. Just didn’t strike me as plausible. It was very well read however.

Something to sink your teeth into...

It's one of the rare instances when a perfect story marries up with the perfect narrator. I was thoroughly engrossed in this witty and thrilling, Buffyesque on-the-edge-of-your-seat ride through Norfolk's supernatural underworld. Expertly written with characters you love instantly (Herons included) and a story and atmosphere that grips you from the second you start listening.

If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, this is something you can really sink your teeth into...

Riveting story and excellent performances!

Really enjoyed the story, characters and plot lines. Quite different from most fantasy books too as mostly focused on the human flaws rather than the super natural or incarnates. Highly recommended!

worth a listen

A good book with plenty to keep the listener's interest from start to finish. Hopefully there will be more books in this series as I would like to hear where these characters go next. five stars for the story and five for the narration.

I wanted to love it

A female ghost hunter in Norfolk? Sounds just like my sort of thing. I was picturing Rivers of London in the Fens. Sadly all of the many characters are so flat, stereotypical and borderline unlikeable that I just didn't care what happened to any of them. And neither did the protagonist, apparently, who cheerfully sat down to eat chips just after seeing a man's head smashed in. The series of mysterious deaths evidently raises no eyebrows amongst the local police force either.
As for the narration, it was OK except for the excruciating Scottish accent. And maybe I wouldn't have minded that if it wasn't for the dialogue. If I hear the word "buttercup" ever again it'll be far too soon.
