Murder Falcon by Daniel Warren Johnson
4.0
Look, everything you need to know about the book is in the title and the basic premise description. There are monsters. A troubled guitarist named Jake and a murder Falcon named Murder Falcon (you know, a giant falcon who murders monsters, duh) are able to defeat the monsters with the power of metal. Yea, there's some heartbreak backstory, and concern for Jake's close friend, and a few other details, but really it's just Heavy Metal Vs. monsters with the kind of art you'd imagine would work well with the conceit.
If you like the premise, you'll probably love this. If it doesn't sound like your kind of story, I don't think it's elevated to the point where it can coax you in with its charm. It's silly. It's fun. And it doesn't take itself too seriously.
