These books contain cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don't suggest reading this book.

This could have been wrapped up in 10 books instead of 22 and it would have been an improvement. There was a definite build but it was interrupted with inconsequential side stories and interminable crap dialogue, just skip through most of that, it doesn't add anything after book 10 or so. Character arcs are there but pretty dang shallow. The saving grace is that a fair amount of the build comes to fruition in the final battle, as I was hoping it would, as it should, but in other series is often ignored. The real reasons it didn't get a 4 star is that the overwhelming references to barbeque became mind numbing and the repetitive use of the words annoying and kick ass are overwhelmingly .... annoying.
There is a lot, as in A LOT of cursing, and I'm not a prudish person. Starts on page 1. Almost all the cursing and nasty vocabulary says to me, that this writer suffers from insecurities. Just to throw a few cuss words on each page and for no actual good reasen, cept, cuss this and slander that just to impress, well that's plain disrespectful. I don't mind a strong word when it's use makes sense. I decided not to read this series. I like Michael Anderle as a writer and I have read plenty of his work. So this schmack slap in your face kind of writing doesn't seem his style. And I rather move on. Lots to read. So many good works I'm anxious to read.
Just be aware cursing and profanity from page one.
If you've read anything Oricean, this series is for you. I have read things out of order, starting with Alison, then What and finally Makes but, it really doesn't matter because they all have amazing characters, fantastic plotlines, spot on action, magic and tech. Seeing things from different perspectives is great. I have been inventing my own barbecue sauces, with varying levels of success, thanks to the books imprinting it on me 😂. Aliens, I I've always said it I met one I would have one hand out to shake, and the other behind my back with a gun in it. Glad I am not alone in that thinking, thanks Michael.
As much as I enjoy Michael's books, taking on a 22 book saga was more than a little intimidating. I thought I'd get bored half way through, but the more you get to know the Brownstone family, the more you want to hear. This is a great series of stories and you get to follow their characters journeys from Level 1 to 20. Never disappoints, never gets dull. Worth every minute!
I enjoyed this series of books very much indeed. What a man James Brownstone is, and I don't think I will be likely to ever forget him. I hope the author continues to make many more stories of the other characters in this series, as I for one would love that!
To be honest I read the first five books then skipped to the the two books. It got pretty repetitive. If you have a lot of time on your hands then go for it. Overall it was entertaining and worth reading.
He's a classic redneck. He's got a truck, a dog, barbecue, and a woman. That's as redneck as you can get. The only thing that even dents that is he's from LA instead of the somewhere in the south. Outstanding series. 5*+

James Brownstone evolves in every book, becoming more incredible. Hard not to give spoilers for such a long series, but you won’t regret reading this one! He’s one of my favorite characters from fantasy/sci-fi ever.
James and his extended family get caught up in everything you can imagine. Allows the characters are easily likeable and make for a good read! This book series is a long one but a good one. Enjoy.!
This was an an amazing series of stories to read. His writing as always pulls you into the stories like you are a part of them. These are so good I would listen in my car driving back and forth to work because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
Riveted to these pages from the moment I opened book 1! Amazing character archs and fully developed characters was only the tease of greatness. Sprinkled in were fun references and even events in my home state of Wyoming, and yes, they were all relevant. Lol
I totally enjoyed this series! I loved the characters and the plots. I had just finished the series about Alison Brownstone which I also enjoyed tremendously.
The first several books were really good. How Brownstone finds and adopts the girl who helps him find his dog. Brownstone befriending the local gangs and then starting a whole training and employment program for them to become bounty hunters and earn money and get off the streets. Was kind of difficult to follow the new earth and all the magic and different worlds, but somehow the same bad guys still exist only with magic to help. What I didn't like was how it dragged on through all the books about discovering who and what Brownstone really is. The development of all the characters was awesome.
