About this listen

Once an international monster hunter, Joseph is now nothing more than a depressed drunk who occasionally showers.

He retired from the magical world five years ago to protect his daughter from the evil that hunted him and killed his wife. Who killed her? Not even he could piece that mystery together.

But her killers haven’t finished torturing him. On the anniversary of his wife’s death, a Sorceress had her vampire goons kidnap his daughter.

Five years of retirement has made Joseph physically out of shape, magically rusty, emotionally grumpy, and entirely dependent on alcohol...but he’s back in the game and out for blood. He’ll stop at nothing to track down and save his daughter, and kill anyone or anything involved with her disappearance.

Will he fail, once again, to protect someone he loves, or can he overcome his shortcomings to intervene before it’s too late?

Don't buy the hype

Every single character was completely unlikable, every interaction was unbelievable, and there's no way to get into the story because the author goes out of his way to try and make the main character witty, sarcastic and funny with every single word out of his mouth, but at no point is he anything but an annoying creep. I'm surprised I made to chapter 8. This book was advertised as Hary Dresden meets the Witcher. It's actually more like officer Farva from Supertroopers meets every 1990's horror cliche.
