Erica and Gabi are hiding out from the monsters and The Order. But there is no real respite for them as a dangerous hunter, Cutter, is after them and she does not care who ends up dead along the way.

While there isn’t much combat in this, it’s entertaining and has heartfelt moments with our characters and good humor elements. Cutter is so damn creepy and clearly unhinged (I don’t think anyone is ‘hinged’ in this organization, to be honest) and provides the usual conniving and bloodshed for this story. It’s a great setup for what’s next and I can’t wait to read it. 4 out of 5.

A year after what happened in Archer’s Park, Erica goes to New Mexico to help a girl whose family was killed by a new kind of monster. However, she’s doing this against the orders of The House of Slaughter, putting a target on her back.

Of course the monster hunters would have issue with someone like Erica, who doesn’t care so much about all the cloak and dagger stuff and just wants to save as many people as she can. the person send after Erica is almost as frightening as the grotesque creature Erica is hunting in this volume. The kid, Gabi, has some moments where she’s annoying but I probably wouldn’t be the easiest to deal with if my family was killed. I do hope they soften her as the story goes on because she can be grating. 5 out of 5.

In this volume we are introduced to Jessica, the hunter who saved Erica as a child and brought her into the House of Slaughter.

I think this is my favorite volume in the series so far. Young Erica is just the right balance of badass but still a child. She still gets scared and isn’t super human. We also get some insight into how the House of Slaughter functions and get to know some of the members. I like the writing; it keeps these hunters grounded and relatable. They kill monsters for a living but they’re still just people and their job can take a tole. It shows how what they do weighs on them. I look forward to more hunters being involved with adult Erica, too. 4.9 out of 5.
