City of Monsters

De: Nick Noble

Narrado por: Melanie Hastings

Adjust to life as a secret agent, fight demons, and take their powers to save the world.

My life used to be ordinary.

That was before I was attacked by a monster when I was taking the trash out at work.

It turns out I’m something called a "Champion". I'm whisked to a new reality full of magic and monsters I can’t even begin to wrap my head around. But I see them as more than monsters, even when a strange phenomenon is making them go feral. I'm determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it means I have to go all the way to the top of the Bureau.

Tabitha the werewolf is my sexy mentor in this new world. Io the sultry lamia is as eager to pass her powers on to me as she is to fly. Euna the sweet slime girl is eager to help in any way she can.

Turns out, it's up to me to save the city.

And fighting isn't the only way to attain a monster's power.

Good listen

I was given this book for free,

I enjoyed it a lot, and worth a listen to.

Narration was fine as well.

Good Adult Story.

I enjoyed this story. The erotica was not too heavy and the action was well written.

Fun listen

Good story, with an excellent narration. Definitely felt a little predictable at times. But, absolutely worth a credit.

Awesome!

this is the first book i have listened to or read from Nick Noble, and i really liked it a lot from good storytelling to likable characters. and excellent narration. so yeah, i recommend this to any fan of the genre,

Monsters galore

What's it about: A city of monster types. Does it succeed? Yes, there is a wide variety of creature, many with jobs.

When a book has more than three non-human races (and not elf, dwarf, hobbit) that aren't slaughter-bait, I tend to pay attention. This book has many races and has a good internal logic.

Main Character... is okay. The plot thrown at him is pretty good. I quite liked the book.

worth a read but!

well I am not disappointed in reading this and enjoyed this book it also had a number of things I couldn't help but be distracted by.
I have no issue with powerful characters, harems or other such however. even for a quick learner the main character fought way to well for a newbie, never struggled in any fight and had some reactions I found hard to believe.
the side characters where fun and interesting...if we got to explore more of there personality or abilities.

I will admit though I liked the idea of the world, the hidden agency and other elements a lot. however I never felt they where played up much.

humor action and sex

from the moment I heard, "I don't want to hear nothing out of your chicken eating mouth", I was hooked!

About Like You Would Expect (NSFW)

This is an erotic harem story ... which could be a deal breaker for many folks; in this case, most of the story was focused on the plot and not in the bedroom (though there is enough there to be NSFW). The basic plot is hero protects his city from rampaging monsters with a mystery behind why more monsters are suddenly going nuts ... and it follows its fairly predicable script religiously to the point where it is so silly that it was comic book fun ... but what really brings up the total quality is the narration performance, which was good enough to make such a basic story much more entertaining.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I liked book 1

For the start of a series it was excellent. Good characters good explanation of powers and world good plot and many possibilities for direction of series. I was pleased with everything.
The narrator did a great job with many characters male and female.
Mr author I really appreciate the fabulous description of the most beautiful girl ever, but once I would love to see the below average girl with small boobs and a huge heart be part of an mcs’ inner circle.

The story begins with an ordinary life turned upside down when the protagonist, attacked by a monster while taking out the trash at work, discovers he is a "Champion."

The protagonist, determined to unravel the mystery, ascends the ranks of the Bureau, encountering a world full of fantastical beings.

At first glance, one might assume this audiobook delves into the realm of an erotic harem story, potentially dissuading some listeners. However, "City of Monsters" surprises its audience by placing a strong emphasis on plot development rather than excessive bedroom scenes. While there are NSFW moments, they are seamlessly integrated into the narrative, contributing to the character development and overall story arc.

The strength of "City of Monsters" lies not only in its unique plot but also in its diverse and intriguing characters. Tabitha, the werewolf mentor, Io, the sultry lamia eager to share her powers, and Euna, the sweet slime girl offering assistance, add depth and dimension to the protagonist's journey.

The protagonist's transformation from a down-on-his-luck gas station attendant to a secret agent is a captivating aspect of the narrative. The story unfolds with impeccable consistency, steering clear of the usual pitfalls of main character indecision often found in urban fantasy. The protagonist adapts, engages in dynamic and punchy fight scenes, and evolves seamlessly from normal missions to uncovering a full-blown conspiracy.

The fight scenes are vivid and intense, the romantic elements are charmingly cute, and the overall storytelling maintains a good level of consistency throughout.
