Publisher's Summary

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down, organized crime syndicates to break.

Gus’ life had been a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty.

That was before Melody, a contractor, more or less blew his life up as if it were a building packed full of C-4.

Then helped him make a new life, which he himself ended blowing up.

A cushy new job with the FED, thrown out the window with a single gunshot.

All based on an assumption of who was working for who, and that he’d been on the wrong side of the equation.

And so ended his career in law enforcement after he became the assassin of a presidential candidate.

Now Gus is on to the next job - this time, working for his contractor and wife. The job they’re about to be given is a high-paying one.

The thing is, that the people they’re going up against? They’re just out to see the world burn. To send it screaming back down into the dark ages.

It’s a good thing that he’s a Boogieman.

Because being an apex predator that made the entirety of the paranormal world fear him was something he could fall back on even in this situation. To hunt, investigate, and watch from the shadows.

Wouldn’t be the first time he’d put his life on the line, either.

Unfortunately, for everyone involved, the long forgotten and primordial past was rearing its ugly head.

Gus knows he can certainly punch above his own weight class, but this case might just be the one that ends him.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

Great plot, but a couple of annoying points

Great plot, I really enjoyed the story and was invested in the characters. Contractors are a fun idea!

However, a couple of things that kept cropping up really annoyed me. First, it seems that no female can resist Gus and falls head over heels for him at the speed of light and he's all 'aw shucks' about it. Are there any women that can actually resist him?

Second, the dialogues between characters and Gus' inner dialogues are very clunky and unnatural at times when the author is doing some world-building and giving reasoning for some actions. It feels like the author is treating his readers as imbeciles and has to over-explain every single point just in case we didn't get it. Even though we read your books, come on, give us some credit - we have more than a single brain cell! ;)

Swing Shift book 3

William D Arand is one of the most talented and skilled author's and I got to say I'm enjoying this book and his writing greatly.

And with the voice acting talents and skills of Andrea Parsneau who makes the characters and world come alive with the narration of this book.

I can't recommend this book more 5 stars
