Monster Hunter Vendetta

Owen pissed off an interdimensional horror, and now all its minions, a murder cult included, want him dead. Their hobbies included bringing utopia through Lovecraftian monsters and creating monsters from pieces of human an animal cadavers.

Not sure why, but I remembered these books having much more gun talk. I have never been around those circles, so I don't understand that kind of lingo (though I support your right to have guns, so I'm not sitting here and saying they should be taken away because I don't understand them, that's just a stupid thing to do), but on my second time reading through, it seems a lot less, oddly. Maybe I just wasn't used to it back then and it was a bit jarring? Since then this became one of my all time favourite series, so I guess that helps.

This one adds a lot to a bunch of character; we get to meet Owen's family, we learn about the history of Agen Myers with MHI and how Agent Franks works. An absolutely hilarious version of gnomes get added to the list of modernised fantasy creatures.
In that sense it was a very successful sequel; same tone, but a very much expanded and deepened world. On my first try, I was a bit worried, though. How could you go on after this? What bigger danger, bigger things can come after THIS? The fact I am excited about book 8 coming tells you that Correia pulls it off. So no worries, he still has a ton of ideas and things to do. We good.

Something about the no nonsense attitude made me get very attached to the characters so fast. Every time someone gets hurt, I feel it. They are crass and loud and rowdy bunch of people and I still love them so much it's almost funny. They have big guns and big heart.
I know some will hate this on principle and sure, that's their right, but it makes me so ridiculously happy to read this again.
