"Monster Hunter Alpha (Monster Hunters International Book 3)" by Larry Correia
https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-MONSTER-HUNTER-Paperback/dp/B00QO3ZXJK/Book number three of an eight book dark fantasy series. There are several other books that are spinoffs from the series, prequels and such. I first read this book in 2011. I reread the well printed and well bound MMPB published by Baen that I bought new on Amazon rather than find the book in my garage stash. I have all of the books in the series and am rereading through them.
Anita Blake meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer and turns into a guy named Owen Pitt. An accountant turns into a Monster Hunter after a close encounter with a werewolf in his office. The accountant even somewhat reminds me of Owen Deathstalker. If you like Urban Fantasy, you will love this hardcore story. If not, oh well.
https://www.amazon.com/Deathstalker-1-Simon-R-Green/dp/1625672071/The story is sound, the concept is good, the good guys are imperfect and the bad guys are real bad. And, I like Skippy. It just works that an Uzbekistan Orc can fly a Hind 24 with the best of them. I also like federal agent Franks, who would not like Frankenstein's monster ?
But this book is is not about Owen Pitt, Skippy, and Franks. Earl Harbinger, the 100+ year old werewolf in charge of MHI, has been told by an old friend that there are werewolves hanging around a nearby town. So Harbinger takes off to investigate, by himself. After all, he is the meanest and baddest werewolf on the planet. Or so he thinks.
The author has a website. Note, the author does not suffer fools at all and will write a 2,000 word essay on why you suck if you annoy him.
