I just knew I was gonna love Jenny. She has serious attitude issues, wears radical clothes, and sports a purple mohawk. She doesn’t give a crap what anyone thinks about her.Her mother died when she was 10 and her father lived for the bottle. The only good times they shared were when he took her to the gun range, teaching her how to shoot.She became quite good at it. Never knowing she’d need to be.Upon his death, she was raised by her grandmother, her last living family, who lived long enough to see Jenny become a grown woman.Out of the blue she gets an email from her grandfather, Billy Moonsong, the one she’s been led to believe died many years ago. It was a short email.“I would never contact you unless it was extremely important. It is. Please meet me tomorrow.”Of course she goes to see him, but not alone. She takes her best friend Marshal.Short stories and novellas have to grab me quickly. This one did. There’s the mysterious grandfather, a legacy, Native American (Apache) elements and flesh and blood characters.Did I forget to mention the monster. Oh yeah, one very powerful, murderous creature.Poor Jenny and poor Marshal. The handbook given to her by Billy Moonsong is supposed to help her understand her place in the family legacy. She’s a monster hunter and she better get with it quick.What felt so authentic to me was how Jenny, and then Marshal. thought on their feet. They had no time to do research and no idea what creature was coming, so they were going to be very lucky to survive.What comes is straight out of a horror movie.” Looks like Jenny’s going on the war path.”I received this book for my honest and unbiased review.
