Endless Hunger
Corporate espionage, cults, faeries.It’s 2133, and Earth has rebuilt after a global catastrophe.
Megacities, wireless tech, and augmented humans are all commonplace. What isn’t common, is Kraft. Kraft sees monsters. This tends to get him in trouble, especially when the rest of the world doesn’t believe they exist. For Kraft, even an easy job like cleaning a corporation’s computer system involves a dark cult, a battle with faeries, and a computer virus that reaches into the real world.
---"A lot of what I believe makes Endless Hunger stand out is how it deals with the multiple genres it spans. The world that New Montreal exists in is built upon sci-fi technologies (Wireless communication, smart clothing, advanced security), but Kraft is dealing with fantasy problems (Faeries, vampires, wizards). Rather than juxtaposing the elements of science and magic, my work looks at the parallels. It sees how those parts of each genre can mix to create something new." - Kevin Weir, author
---"Weir's debut is a riveting, genre-blending adventure that will keep you guessing on every page." -- Jodi McIsaac, author

October 30, 2018Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy
It’s hard to do your job when you don’t have the full picture, and it’s hard to fix a computer when there’s a demon-virus in it. It’s a good thing Kraft isn’t one to back down easily. He’s seen some shit; he is a Seer afterall, someone able to see the Dark magic in our world.
I really enjoyed the mythology of this post-apocalypse New Montreal. It’s busy, high tech and shiny, but if you go out of the “safe” zones, the after effects of war are evident - collapsed buildings, radiation, and an increase of things that go bump in the night. I also enjoyed the way Kraft’s second sight was explained. He’s a programmer, so he sees magic as code, a type of superimposed Matrix crawl. A more musical inclined Seer might see musical notations; little details like this made the magic system easy to grasp.
My favourite character was Arno, a massive, clever thug who runs a scrap yard. There was something very endearing about him, and he sticks out in my mind. There were a lot of characters in this book, but it’s refreshing to see an urban fantasy hero who has to ask questions and ask for help. A significant portion of the book is the result of Kraft’s screws up or lack of information. He likes to think he knows it all, and acts quite self-assured at the beginning of the book. He gets knocked down a peg a few times.
The beginning of the book was slower compared to the fights, flights and battles of the second half of the book, but worked. Kraft’s discovery of all the things he thought he knew but didn’t made for a book that kept readers on their toes, and none of the fights felt too “easy”.
The book does set up a potential sequel but doesn’t rely on a forced cliffhanger to keep up the interest. There are consequences to actions after all. ENDLESS HUNGER is a solid sci-fi urban fantasy mashup, with a dash of horror just for fun.

Endless hunger has an ambitious concept to deliver upon. It has magic, future technology, mystery, romance, adventure and stylistically sits closest to the Neo-noir genre. It's surprising, but the story and its protagonist Kraft are at their best when more than a couple of these elements are present. Both for a series and as an entry into the Noir genre it is a great first step, that introduces enough each chapter, even if you've guessed the big reveal, as I did, keeps the reader interested in what might happen next. The twist and turns are entertaining, the action feels tense and Kraft is an engaging protagonist. This book is a quick, fun read I would recommend to anyone who enjoys what it promises, it does deliver.
However, it does not offer a lot of detail, and the while the characters avoid being flat, aside from Kraft, they lack much depth at this point, and several of them do feel like set dressing. The world seems to make sense, but not enough of it is explained, leaving me with a few questions about how things work. It feels like it's missing maybe two chapters worth of exposition sprinkled throughout the entire novel. One might think that these questions about the world would drive me to want to learn more, but the surface level understanding provided, doesn't make me want to dive in and see what's underneath. I don't see any intriguing shadows swimming down there. That doesn't mean there isn't more there, and I at least hope for a sequel that begins to unravel the more interesting pieces of the world, and maybe shed some light on what happened before Endless Hunger.
This book is worth a read, especially if you are a fan of neo-noir and are looking for something to scratch the ever-present itch of reading an entertaining book.

Kevin Weir's Endless Hunger is a great first novel! With its blend of mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy, there is something in it for most fans of genre fiction. Set in Canada's future in the city of New Montreal, it tells the story of Kraft, a man who has become something of a private eye out of a lack of other options - he's a highly skilled specialist in tech, but he's been alienated from all legitimate forms of employment due to his less-than-legal practices. Oh yeah, and he can see magical beings that have strayed from their dimension into the human one.
Kraft must deal with a case of corporate espionage that is somehow intrinsically tied to the dealings of magical beings from the other realm. It is has some great twists and turns, and while the reader comes in on an already established narrative (this book has the wonderful feeling that it should definitely be part of a series of futuristic detective novels), plot points are given in ways that are simultaneously surprising without making the reader feel like they never know what's going on.
Some of the characters do feel a bit underdeveloped, but I have a feeling that it has more to do with the intent of this novel being a part of a series more than anything else.
If you're looking for a really fun and unique twist on your classic private eye tale, this book will delight you. It has very creative and well-researched world-building and scientific and magical rules of lore; a delicious blend of solid sci-fi and high fantasy. I haven't seen a combination of science fiction and fantasy realms so interesting since I read the Abhorsen novels by Garth Nyx.
Well worth the price of a Kindle edition, and an excellent first effort from an emerging novelist. I look forward to reading more of Kevin Weir's work.

This was a really cool concept and really cool mashup of total fantasy (wizards, faery, mythology, magic, etc), total post-apocalyptic scfi (code, virus, hacking, dead zone, so much tech) and political espionage/mystery! I genuinely admire the way this is very unique in tackling all of that in one story, and the genre mashup made it memorable.
That being said, it also had a big horror element I wasn't prepared for when I started reading - did not realize that was one it's subgenres. It had a lot of graphic gross descriptions of injuries, violent monster deaths and fights etc, especially at the end/climax, which I really had to skim and skip through, and that really detracted from it for me.
Also, much of the story read like it was a sequel or third adventure in a series rather than #1 which sometimes felt like I was missing something. It took me a long time to get into the story, and even then I never felt overly invested or attached to the main guy.
So... tough one to rate, because there was a lot of cool things done and bits to enjoy (the subplot with Jack Frost and his magic going missing was SO COOL and I actually was way more invested in that than anything else, which is tragic given it was *such* a minimal subplot it barely cropped up lol), but also I just didn't jive with a lot of the overall story at the same time. 🤷♀️ Really cool and unique, but ultimately just not my cuppa tea.

I've read a number of Kevin Weir's short stories in the past, and have always enjoyed his work, so I was rather excited when I heard the announcement of his first novel. Well, friends... ENDLESS HUNGER does not disappoint! The book is a handy mix of the cyberpunk, urban fantasy, and mystery genres and Weir handles all elements not just capably, but with a seamless flourish, and the setting of New Montreal is unique yet familiar enough to keep the reader engaged. The story chugs along at a good clip, too, and will keep you turning the pages well past bedtime.
In Kraft, we're treated to a protagonist with a well-developed personality, challenges both professional and personal, and enough hints at his backstory to make the reader want to know more. I'm hoping for a sequel, because I think there's more about him that needs to be told.
(Regarding the cyberpunk elements, Weir is careful not to dump too much technobabble on the reader. Nothing should be confusing to readers not versed in the genre.)

Kevin Weir paints the gritty reality of a dystopian New Montreal. He seamlessly blends Science Fiction and Fantasy into a world filled with high tech inventions and old world fantasy.
It's a unique reading experience to see old world fantasy characters such as ogres and fairies interact with the rough and tough high tech hacker protagonist Kraft. He is the type of guy who takes no prisoners, but still has that hidden sweet spot for a certain “Scoundrel”.
It is easy to lose yourself in this novel because Kevin uses great description that really helps you visualize not only the setting but also the characters. As someone who likes to escape and spend time immersed in any form of media I appreciate the extra time taken to really develop the characters as well as the universe Endless Hunger takes place in.
If these are two genres you are interested in, I would highly recommend this read.

I'm a real Dresden Files fan, but Butcher hasn't written another book in the series for a while. I kept thinking, someone should write stuff like that and then I picked up this book. Not saying Endless Hunger is a knockoff at all, but it does satisfy that craving.
This book is a genre mashup of cyberpunk/dystopian/paranomal fantasy. Think Dresden files meets Blade Runner meets Company Town. SUPER COOL. The hero is likable and there is plenty of humor. A fast, fun read.
Some things could be improved--I felt one plot line related to a "potato gun" needed to be trimmed down a little. The writing wobbled a bit in the beginning, but it improved with ever turn of the page so it isn't a big issue.
Overall I'm impressed with this novel and I am putting Kevin Weir on my author to watch list.

“Daniels, never underestimate the joys of a normal job.” If only I could forget about all the supernatural madness I have to deal with.”
The only problem is, Kraft has anything but a normal job, or a normal life for that matter. Technology and fantasy meld together in the detailed future world of New Montreal. Kraft the main character bridges the two worlds, in a book that is seriously hard to put down. If you are looking for a new futuristic sci fi fantasy novel this should fill the void you didn’t even know you had.

Endless Hunger takes a very plausible human future and mixes it with the fantastical world of folklore and fae. Mr. Weir has done a beautiful job at marrying science fiction and fantasy in a way that makes you want to question once more if magic could indeed be real, and hiding under our noses. If you love fantasy, action, futuristic cities, and the analytical thinking of a roguish detective, then this book is for you! Two very happy thumbs up for a story that made this mother, with very little time to read, not want to put it down.

Kevin Weir has seamlessly merged science fiction, fantasy and mystery into a new genre that instantly grabs the reader and refuses to let go.
Endless Hunger is set in New Montreal in 2133, which is intriguing in and of itself. Add to that the main character, Kraft, who is coerced into working on a corporate computer system with unpredictable results. This edgy work drives Kraft forward into a series of exhilirating adventures. Readers are whisked along for the wild ride.
I highly recommend Endless Hunger, and eagerly await the author’s next novel.

This is a wonderful debut novel. The concept is cool. The story and plot are well thought out and executed fairly well. It is entertaining. The action scenes are good, and the gore and horror writing is where the author excels at his craft.
The characters are a little flat, and the writing overall is more telling than showing. There is a fountain of backstory that adds layers, but its delivery needed some creativity instead of just throwing it at us.
That being said, I was entertained, and it was a super fun read! I hope a sequel will be written as I will continue to read.

ENDLESS HUNGER by Kevin Weir is a rocket-fueled tale with tremendous crossover appeal to avid readers of both science fiction and fantasy – given they enjoy the atmospheric grit of a dystopian “New Montreal”.
I highly recommend this book for the escapist at heart, and I’m looking forward to reading more – including future works featuring the protagonist, Kraft – from a terrific new author to watch.

It has been awhile since I have read any urban fantasy books but I am glad I read this one. It works for fans of Jim Butcher and Kim Harrison. I like my main characters with a bit of snark to them and Kraft has that. I am not looking for a superhero but for a relatable protagonist like Kraft. The secondary characters are interesting and have room to develop in the series. I would be interested to see where Kraft and his friends/frenemies go next.

Especially in the middle this feels like the fifth book in a series. There are so many references to things in the past, some of them detrimental but most helpful to our "hero".
That hero, calling himself "Kraft", lives in a somewhat dystopic future with a lot of tech, and he is a great hacker and has a bit of magic at his disposal. All of that helps him to survive.
It's fun enough, but it does drag on, especially in the middle.

Endless Hunger starts off strong and doesn't let up. Weir does a great job of hooking you and keeping you engaged throughout the story, leaving you eager to find out what's going to happen next in this gritty, urban fantasy. It's an interesting world filled with engaging characters and I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there.

A thorougly engaging book from start to finish. I enjoyed the characters and the plot, and the prose kept drawing me back in.

An excellent cyber-punk meets urban fantasy debut novel by Kevin Weir. Its fast pace makes it a quick easy read. If you're looking for a summer book, I recommend Endless Hunger.

The story seemlessly blends a paranormal mystery with a cyberpunk setting and a cosmic horror antagonist. I quite enjoyed the gadgets and magic and look forward to more from the same author.

Wow what to say? Took a little for me to fully get into it but am i glad i kept at it. What an interesting story and execution. I want more from this world sometime

I tried write this review three times and goodreads is being annoying, so let me be quick. I loved this book, and it was right up there with more well known writers. 10/10

I really enjoyed this book, a mixture of sci-fi, fantasy, thriller, and mystery. I hope Mr. Weir writes a sequel.

Do you like fairies? Do you like cults? Do you like men in hats? This is the book for you!
Endless Hunger is Kevin Weir's first book and I'm left wanting to read so much more about the world of New Montreal. Isn't that the sign of a book that should be the first of a series? I need more Kraft and his gloves! (Rest assured, Endless Hunger is absolutely a stand alone story and endlessly engaging, I'm just needy and am already demanding more.) Great world, great ambiance, great characters.

This book is what I wanted The Dresden Files to be. A nice blend of supernatural, modern life, and then sci-fi thrown into the mix. I liked it in particular because it didn't glorify it's antihero but instead laid him out as who he was without trying to influence the opinion of the reader. Most of the characters were like this, their own entities laid out for the reader to draw their own conclusions on, which added to the mystery. The book gripped me right until the end, and left me wanting more! I look forward to further books in the series!

I got it because the cover looked really cool but I'm so glad I got it. It's about this person called klaus who is asked to fix a computer system but ends up with multiple issues including faeries and cults.

Nowadays futuristic stories are a dime a dozen, with many iterations falling through the cracks into obscured irrelevance. It's honestly rather difficult to delineate between the plethora of bland and all-together tired storytelling attempts, from those that can truly rise above the rest. If author Kevin Weir has anything to say about it however, he certainly has a horse in this particular sci-fi race.
Endless Hunger easily rises above the rest of its genre's decidedly tired ilk. Weir paints an incredibly detailed futuristic world. New Montreal feels real and genuiny lived in. The technology herein feels both original and authentic. It's easy to tell that he spent a lot of time figuring out each how each and every single piece of technology works to painstaking detail. At no point in the story does he betray the rules of his own established universe.
We follow alongside our jaded hero Kraft, a charismatic hacker who tries to uncover the many mysteries that he finds himself entangled in. We get an intimate view inside of our protagonist’s mind, as he tries to grapple with both his work and personal relationships. We deeply understand his hopes, dreams, fears, desires and insecurities. All of which startlingly mirror our own. Endless Hunger works best when it's focused on Kraft and the constantly running inner complexities of his deeply scarred mind. When Kraft is tasked with a seemingly bland undercover corporate job, he almost instantly gets more than he bargained for as the enemies that he encounters take on far more sinister and monstrous personalities.
The story is tightly told while still being ambitious in its scope. Weir crafts several different story threads in the first half, that a lesser writer would easily get lost in. He shows his prowess by managing to juggle all of them equally and fairly, so at no point does the reader get lost in the complex narrative shuffle. As the story progresses, all of the plot points begin to converge in an expert fashion in the second half, ending in a killer finale that sets up for an exciting future sequel.
If you're a fan of corporate espionage, sci-fi thrillers or monster movies, then Endless Hunger is a major game-changer genre mashup that will satisfy any one of those aforementioned itches. The story reads with incredible ease that's a breeze to get through. At no point does the story sag or feel like its fat needs to be trimmed or excized.
Simply put, it's Blade Runner by way of The Brothers Grimm. If either those things are your kinda jam, then Endless Hunger will certainly be right up your alley.

A book is a perfect blend of magic and science fiction and is a beautiful detective story.
Though it is set in a dystopian world in the future, at no point of time do we as readers feel something amiss.
The story moves seamlessly and is an absolute delight to read.

July 12, 2018"It was certainly interesting information, but did little to help me solve the problem. If anything, it made it more complex. Endless Hunger had been playing much longer than I had. It was like coming into a chess game with half the pieces already moved and the other half invisible. And the opponent had a gun."
