Monster Hunter Vendetta - Book Review

Monster Hunter Vendetta - by Larry Correia - uses many of the classical terror universe, seen in many movies and books - monsters are real, but everyone who knows covers it up. In Monster Hunter International, the hunters are survivors of attacks that survived and were recruited, and they make large amounts of money, from both private jobs and a government bounty program. In the previous book of the series (I just know what I read in this one - I got it in a Webscription pack), the main character defeated one of the Old Ones (Lovecraftian horrors from other universes), and it got pretty angry. And now he is sending a crazy cult leader necromancer for his vengeance... Pretty good, silly at some points but fun and full of epic battles. I'll definitely read the rest of the series. You can get it DRM-free at Baen  .

Spellbound - Book Review

Spellbound: Book II of the Grimnoir Chronicles, by Larry Correia is the sequel to Hard Magic, which I recently reviewed . Spellbound picks up a little while after the events of Hard Magic. The main focus here is the traditional mandatory government registration and camps (also used on the X-Men, which at some points Grimnoir Chronicles remind me of), and a phone call from the dead main enemy from the previous book. No, I'm not making this up. Clearly the subject of the phone call, while lightly touched on this volume, is going to be more in focus on the next volumes. This was almost as good as the first book, albeit much shorter. PS: You can get this as an e-book from Baen  for only US$6, with no DRM.
