Publisher's Summary

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down.

Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty.

A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time.

It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

An apex predator that made the entirety of the paranormal world fear him. His very species was often killed as soon as they were found out.

By government and citizen alike.

He’s a Boogieman.

A name that made humans laugh, and vampires curse. It was a strange life to be sure.

Now though, Gus’s stable non-life is about to be kicked over. Whether he likes it or not, he’s about to be handed a case that’s going to mess up his already screwed up life.

Best Detective sense Dresden

This is a well paced character driven detective adventure, with great relationships that are all unique and interesting. well worth the time and money! I cannot wait for the next audio.

Not for me

I really liked Gus and the world building and characters were pretty good.

But the sideline harem gathering was forced an unnecessary and didn’t really add to the story or characters in any meaningful way. If that won’t bother you, it’s a fun paranormal detective romp, and Gus is a lovable grump.
