Monster_Hunter_Front-1Title: Jack Templar Monster Hunter Author: Jeff Gunhus Pages: 196 Publisher: Seven Guns Press ISBN: 0988425904 Orphan Jack Templar has no memory of his parents and only the smallest details from his Aunt Sophie about how they died. The day before Jack’s fourteenth birthday, things start to change for him. At first it’s great: A sudden new strength helps him defend his nose-picking friend “T-Rex” from the school bully, and even his crush, Cindy Adams, takes notice. But then a mysterious girl named Eva arrives and tells him two facts that will change his life forever. First, that he’s the descendant of a long line of monster hunters and he’s destined to be in the family business. Second, that there’s a truce between man and monster that children are off-limits…until their fourteenth birthday! Jack has only one day before hundreds of monsters will descend on his little town of Sunnyvale and try to kill him. As if that weren't enough, things get even more complicated when Jack discovers that the Lord of the Creach (as the monsters are collectively known) holds a personal grudge against him and will do anything to see that Jack has a slow and painful death. To stay alive and save his friends, Jack will have to battle werewolves, vampires, harpies, trolls, zombies and more. But perhaps the most dangerous thing he must face is the truth about his past. Why do the other hunters call him the last Templar? Why do they whisper that he may be the “One?” Why do the monsters want him dead so badly? Even as these questions plague him, he quickly discovers survival is his new full-time job and that in the world of monster hunters, nothing is really what it seems. PURCHASE LINK: AMAZON

AUTHOR BIO

Website | Twitter | Facebook Jeff Gunhus grew up in Cyprus, Greece, and Saudi Arabia where there was a distinct lack of television. He quickly found books were the gateway to incredible adventures, fascinating characters and unbelievable discoveries. Now, with five children of his own (all who watch too much television, in his opinion), he has enjoyed revisiting his old books and reliving those adventures all over again. My Review This books catches your attention right away from warning you to stop reading it or else you will turn into a monster hunter. First book in a series of Seven, now going to have finish the series. It is about survival of the fittest and how friendship conquers all since him and his friends are fighting off monsters. Monsters are vampires, trolls, zombies, and harpies. This book was really fun to read. I enjoyed the humor and the easy to read text. It was nice to be taken away from reality for a moment to be in a different world where there's excitement and action. I would recommend this book to young adults and adults interested in adventure books. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
