Altered Gate

by Shaun Meeks

Everyone’s favorite Monster Dick is back, but the hunt has changed. After a video of Dillon fighting a monster goes viral, the hunter’s world gets turned upside down. He’s become a celebrity of sorts, but he’s also garnered the attention of his higher ups, the Collective.

As his actions are put under a microscope and every move he makes is being watched and judged, Dillon heads to Niagara Falls to help a realtor who claims he’s being haunted by something unearthly. As Dillon looks into the case, questions of reality and madness, truth and lies fly at him from every direction.
Now Dillon isn’t just hunting monsters, but is forced to search for the truth, his own sanity, and an outcome that will allow him to stay on Earth with Rouge Hills.

Although I do love these characters; I don't like alot of errors in the book. Spelling and sentence structure issues were littered in the book.
The story itself is wonderful. I'm so glad Rouge is finally getting her credit and is more involved.
Can't wait to read the next one.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the books Shaun Meeks writes. And this series about Dillon is some of my favorite things he's written. This is the third book in the series, and it's by far the best. There is still the humor that was in the first two, but this one has a darker, more serious tone. The book follows Dillon and Rouge Hills on a case to Niagara Falls and that leads down a road of monsters, madness and some intense scenes. Not much I can say without spoiling the book. Just go read it.

I'm glad there is still some humor in it though as a lot of what Shaun Meeks writes tends not to. These books have been fun to read and I hope there will be more to come. Highly recommended..
