Logsdon and Christopher P. Young.What readers are saying about Part-Time Monster Hunter and Kat Drummond:★★★★★ “What a fantastic ride! Couldn't put this one down. Read it in one sitting.”★★★★★ “Start this amazing journey today! I love how realistic the setting can be for an area that is intimately familiar with the author and completely foreign to me, I can get an understanding of the city and the changes it has gone through. The world is well made, and always seems to be quite relatable based on events happening in it! I give this 5 stars, hands down!”★★★★★ “Oh wow. Really enjoyed this book. Could not put it down. Already downloaded the next book in the series.”★★★★★ “It's not unusual for a college kid to pick up a part-time job to make ends meet. However, when that job involves hunting zombies, ghouls, guls, wights and other such monsters, it takes quite the toll on one's college life, friends, and sleep. Kat Drummond is having a tough time making it on her own because the small bounties on her solitary kills barely pay the bills. So, when approached by an "agent" who offers her the opportunity for much bigger and better paying kills, Kat decides to go for it, and she begins to reap the larger paydays. Things seem better but are they really. Maybe she has bitten off more than she can handle, both physically and emotionally.”★★★★★ “Kat Drummond might be a university student slaying monsters but don't confuse her with Buffy! She has a no-nonsense approach to the gruesome job, a love of a good sci-fi book, and an adorable cat to keep her company. The support characters in this book were highly entertaining and helped lighten up what could have been a very dark book.”
