It’s all come down to this.
Monster hunter Grim has been promised a cure for the disease that he’s infected with–a disease that will cause him to change into one of the very creatures that he hunts.
That promise comes in the form of a television celebrity who has own agenda–record Grim’s healing process for his audience, an audience that gets to vote for Grim’s outcome every step of the way.
Will Grim be healed? Or will he succumb to the disease?

I have enjoyed this series immensely from the mysteries to the side characters and, of course, Grim, our protagonist who fights monsters and battles to save himself from turning into one. I am sad to see this is the last book, but Boyles kept me listening until the end with plenty of reveals and unexpected twists.
Did Grim become a monster? For answers, you’ll need to grab the series. While these are in KindleUnlimited, I recommend listening to the audiobooks narrated by Michael Kirby. He brought Grim and the secondary characters to life. I grew attached to this motley crew, and the mysteries were well done.
Grim is a rough around the edges monster hunter who images himself hunting with just his dog, but finds himself with a girlfriend and saving strays. We see growth throughout, but Grim is a character with integrity and I immediately rooted for him.
Horatio, a hunter and TV host/YouTube guy, offers Grim a cure. It’s painful and Grim has to agree to be filmed. Only things aren’t at all as they seem in this page-turning tale. I loved listening to it all unfold.
If you like mysteries, paranormal fantasy and characters you’ll connect with, I recommend grabbing your earbuds and listening to the Withering Mysteries. I plan to check out more works from this author.
