Midlife Demon Hunter by Shannon Mayer
5.0
Another amazing installment of the forty proof series! I dont know how many books are planned for, but it looks like there could be a bunch. I don't know about you, but I'm hoping It'll go into the double digits!
I found Shannon Mayer through her Desert Cursed books and fell in love with her writing style (Though, her early books can be a bit of a hit or miss with me) I love her writing now, so anything she writes from now on I'll continuously refreshing the amazon page on release night so I can yoink it the second it goes on sale. (Like I did last night for this book)
I also will mention that I have kindle unlimited, so I was able to read everything for free, but I love these books so much I bought the actual ebooks so I could have them forever and whenever. And I also bought the paper back versions to display on my shelf and have on hand when ever I'm craving words on actual paper. Did I say I love these books? Because I do. I love them. and I love supporting an author who writes REAL characters and situations, amazing and witty dialog, and twisty turny plots.
This story is amazing, Its got everything I want in a book, and I dont say that lightly. It's funny, fast paced, and most of all: it has refreshingly real relationships/friendships and worries. It's honestly become one of my favorite series, Actually, I'm pretty sure its taken the top spot.
**HERE BE SPOILERS/PREDICTIONS**
I will say I have been firmly on the Crash bandwagon. So much so, that I'll sometimes pick up the books and reread through just their scenes. That being said, I'm pissed at him in this book. Like god damn man! My prediction is he is trying to protect her from the consequences of their actions/ everyone knowing they have caught feels and trying to use said feels against them. He doesn't have to be such an ass about it though, and normally he lets her fight her own battles (to a point), he gives her credit where credit is due a lot of the time. He's never discounted her because of her age or gender or anything like that, and that's what is so attractive about him, so it makes me angry to think he is doing that now. Trying to protect her 'for her own good' and leaving her in the dark about it. I'm still rooting for him and Bree SO HARD (because yum), but I could also see their paths diverging if he keeps this shit up.
And now on to our boi Robert. Friend. Bless this man. Around the time that Bree and Robert went into the Demon house and she made him 'his real self' I thought to myself "Oh damn, wouldn't it be cool if there was a book that made a relationship like Bree and Roberts turn into a romance? Like a totally out of left field thing. A friend character for multiple books, whos dead- literally a skeleton, with zero romantic vibes from either party the entire time just POOF you realize he's the one for you. But not this book, naw, Crash and Bree are perfect. That would be a cool idea though, I wonder if its been done, and done well, yet. I'd love to read that." And then I just MOVED ON from that thought and went on my merry way. and now those thoughts came straight back at me the last 5% of the hecking book and I was like "OH! OHH." What if. WHAT IF?!
I'm still in the Crash boat, not as die hard as before since the Robert idea, but I'm hanging on and I'm hanging on strong. I am side eyeing Robert REAL hard though, he's been there for Bree through everything and hasn't let her down or used her once. and even though I hope the next book has a lot of Crash parts... I really want to get to know Robert more and see what he's all about.
I can't wait for the next book, its torture having to wait on new book releases! That's actually why I typically leave new 'first in the series' books alone for like 1-2 years to give them time to pop out the rest of their book babies so I can inhale the entire series all at once and suffer HARD book hangover. But Covid made it hard for me to honor that tradition, so here I am, SUFFERING.
