Armageddon Bound by Tim Marquitz
3.0
It was a very entertaining story, with lots of humor, and an interesting plotline.
The stars missing is for the main character thinking and behaving like a 15 year old high on hormones, and thinking about boobies most of the time. There's plenty of phrases like this:
"Back home I stumbled inside, manacles in hand. Certain they'd come in handy at some point, I stashed them where they would be the most useful; he bedroom. I placed them in a box beneath the bed for safekeeping and quick access, right beside the jumbo tube o'lube and my inflatable Jenna Jemson doll. One could never tell when the need to restrain a supernatural being might arise. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Just thinking about how I'd use them got my blood flowing. Unfortunately it wasn't just my crotch that was throbbing"
Once or twice that would be funny, but having him think "BOOOBIES" or "SEX!" every two pages, often in the midst of dire circumstances really got on my nerves after a while.
I learned that it gets toned down in the later books, so I might go and pick them up sometime later! Besides that I really did enjoy it a lot.
Other than that it was fast paced, I liked the rest of the characters, there was lots of gore and detailed bloody parts, the writing was fluent and the idea behind the book a really good one.
Definitely a recommendation for readers who like it on the bloody side! ;)
