Undead as a Doornail (Phoenix Bones: International Monster Hunter)
Description:
Review\nAicher has yet to disappoint me. And thanks a lot: Now I have a new favorite indie series in my queue. Know that Phoenix Bones: International Monster Hunter will not be a just vamp series. The next book promises werewolves. Something tells me they aren't like Jacob either...\nI always dare to compare authors to related books knowing that they might cringe. But, I do it anyway cuz I am from New England and we are direct like that...\nUndead As A Doornail is a mix of Charlaine Harris' "Sookie Stackhouse" and Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series. You see a little world-building paired with memorable characters. You are drawn into the thrilling but not literature-dense plot: More than junk food but still a satisfying, quick read. I f'ing love it!
...\nHilarious, witty, and light, Undead As A Doornail will leave you laughing, gagging, and hoping for a new HBO series. I cannot wait for Book Two.\n- The Uncorked Librarian\nI was already dead by the time I was born, and I’ve died a lot of times since then. But somehow, someway, I came back. I always come back. My name is Phoenix Bones, and I hunt monsters.\n★★★★★ 'Hilarious, witty, and light, Undead as a Doornail will have you laughing, gagging, and hoping for a new HBO series.' - The Uncorked Librarian
The first novel in the International Monster Hunter series introduces Phoenix Bones, the self-trained bane of things that go bump in the night.\nPhoenix knows what horrors lurk in the shadows. When he overhears a police scanner report of a teenage girl gone missing from her bedroom without a trace, he knows something sinister is afoot.\nHis worst fears are confirmed when the trail leads him to a ghastly scene in the catacombs of Paris, the first step of many down a grisly and blood-soaked path to the vile truth of the vampire underground.
If you like Jim Butcher, Hunter Blaine, Shayne Silvers, Cameron O’Connell, Michael Anderle, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Larry Correia, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you're gonna love the world of Phoenix Bones: International Monster Hunter.

Aicher "Once again his writing style and rush kept me at the edge of my seat, or in this case my bed."- Lizabeth Sorensen (Goodreads Reviewer) "... fantastic at making you feel things you didn't know you had the capacity to feel, towards things (creatures? Hmm) you didn't know existed"- (Amazon.com Reviewer) "Aicher's skill at being able to plunge the knife deeper into his readers' hearts when the death toll begins to climb ... shines a light on his creativeness and his overall understanding of the internal workings of man."- Kester James Finley (Author, The Keeper Chronicles)
