🎧 Audio Book Review ~ Tansy Bloom : Monster Hunter by L. J. Weller



Audible Original
27 June 2024

My thanks to Audible and Midas for my audio copy of this book

 
Audible, a leading provider of spoken word entertainment, has announced Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds will narrate a new and exciting Audible Original title from debut novelist L.J. Weller.


Three months ago, twenty-eight-year-old Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees.

At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk, and he intends to capture it. But Tansy’s not convinced. For one thing, the mysterious black dog Rex is hunting is able to vanish into thin air. For another, everyone who’s encountered the black dog is dying in a series of freak accidents.

Bad news for Tansy, who’s just come face-to-face with the creature herself.


🎧 My Review..

Tansy Bloom is a monster hunter who has been told to take a break from hunting but when she goes to stay on a houseboat near to the pub where her godfather is landlord, she soon discovers that there is some mysterious stuff going on around Norfolk. With her interest well and truly piqued, Tansy is determined discover the significance of the mysterious black dog who seems to be appearing  as a warning. There's more to the novel than just creepy monster hunting and as we get drawn deeper into the story so we begin to learn more about Tansy and of the events which have brought her to Norfolk.

This is a really fun listen and the ten hours of the story whizzed by in a flash. Tansy comes alive in this quirky story of monsters and mayhem which is all beautifully brought to life by an expert narrator. Tanya Reynolds does an excellent job of keeping the pace of the story relevant and interesting.

Tansy Bloom : Monster Hunter kept my attention from beginning to end and is another great production from Audible Originals.

About the Narrator
