When you steal a hundred grand from some very bad people, the best way to survive is to stay small and quiet...
Possibly its not to save a pair of drowning girls, not go 'viral' on social media and certainly not to let the local police take your passport, trapping you on a small 'party' island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.
It's a nice fantasy, but even he has to admit, it's really just a justification, because he's a very bad man, with horrifying abilities, and he's only just learning what he's capable of. He needs a reason to not go to the dark, and if thats hunting down the creatures of the night and beating them to death with their own femurs?
Well, he's just the man for the job.
Stolen money. Greek Islands. Werewolves and Enforcers... what could possibly go wrong?

This a review of the audiobook edition. I picked it up before I went on a trip and overall thought it was a pretty good listen for the credit.
It’s mostly an action oriented urban fantasy story with rather light RPG elements and more of an upgrade system that grants the main character (MC) powers as he defeats enemies and takes their nanites. The upgrades are nice, but there are some long stretches between them sometimes.
The actual story has pretty good pacing, though there are a few scenes that went on for a bit longer than needed. The big focus is definitely the action with the MC being introduced into this supernatural world that gives a decently interesting spin on an explanation for werewolves, vampires, and all the other monster lore in the world. Fights are great and though some of the romantic interests felt a little forced, the relationships gave the MC enough motivation to push the story progression.
Overall, a good action oriented audiobook.
Score: 7.3 out of 10
