Punk's Undead (Nowak Brothers #6)
Five years ago the infant New Avalon punk scene tried to put on an ambitious under-the-ground underground show called Punk's Not Dead. Those that went were never heard from again.
There were always rumors. All that had attempted to go to the abandoned subway station where the event was held saw signs of zombies, then the city closed it all up, never to speak of the event again.
For five years Punk's Not Dead has sat untouched, none wanting to risk disturbing the dead to find out what really happened there.
Today monster hunters Szandor and Mikkel Nowak are going there on a mission. And they're bringing their friend Dickie Dubois.
What really happened down there? Did they all just wanna party?

The Ghoul Pit (Nowak Brothers #4)
Mikkel and Szandor are trapped. Far away and under the earth there is a desolate place, an underground labyrinth. The two brothers didn't intend to end up here; they didn't even know it existed. They were simply doing a friend a favor. But in the course of that, they tangled with the wrong people and were banished down here. It is a seemingly endless maze of tunnels, caverns, and dark places. They would be lucky if it was empty, but it's not; the labyrinth is full of ghouls and other monsters. Friends are few and help is minimal, but it's Mikkel and Szandor's job to raid a fallen town and steal back a strange artifact. This item is the only thing they can use to buy their way up to the surface. But what's really going on down there? What answers will they find in those dark tunnels? Can they fulfill their mission and stay alive? Can they escape The Ghoul Pit?

Support Your Local Monster Hunter (Nowak Brothers #3)
Support your local monster hunter! And specifically, support Szandor Nowak, because he needs help. After an unfortunate and unwilling break from monster hunting due to debt and poor health, Szandor is getting back into the business, riding along with older, more experienced hunters to get a feel for the work. This should have been easy and boring, but instead it all goes wrong. In a dark alley, Szandor finds a man hidden in trash. When he tries to help, the man's head explodes bloodily and spontaneously... and all over Szandor. This seems a horrible but otherwise anomalous encounter, so with no leads or reason for the man's death, Szandor continues on with his reckless life and hunter ride alongs. But when he encounters a second man whose head also explodes, Szandor's life starts to fall apart - his relationships, his friends, even his chance at hunting again. He even finds his brother Mikkel turning his back on him. But in the blackest night of loneliness, he finds a new hope - a mentor and a friend. But with this comes a hidden secret of Avalon's darkest places, a hidden underbelly he didn't know about. Things are going to hit the fan in Szandor's life - an army of monsters, a police homicide investigation, and his back against the wall. When all doors are closed, when he finds himself all alone, can Szandor fight a war he knows he can't win?

I Kill Monsters (Nowak Brothers #1)
Mikkel and Szandor kill monsters.
So what if they're making it up as they're going along? How much do you need to know to bash in a zombie's head with a lead pipe or slice a ghoul with an internet-bought katana?
They may in fact have no clue what they're doing.
But if you need someone to go down into the sewers to clear out some monsters, figure out why everyone in your neighborhood is getting bitten, or if you swear you really saw a zombie and you don't know who to call, then call them. They'll show up in their van of makeshift weapons, gear, and cleaning supplies to investigate your problem. They may be twenty-somethings with their own issues, but when it comes to monsters they know what they're doing.
They probably have no clue what they're doing.
That has never stopped them before.
Hired by a woman from the rich side of town who believes she's being stalked by monsters, the two brothers think they've finally gotten an easy job that will pay well. But as they follow the clues, nothing adds up. Kidnappings, jackbooted commandos, and mysterious emails are just the beginning. Soon they find themselves involved in something bigger than monsters. It's anybody's guess whether they'll come through it alive, much less get paid.

His rescue mission has become a game of survival as the hospital twists apart across time and space.

Cowards and Killers
"In the end, most of humanity are one of two things: cowards or killers."
When Michael died, there was no Heaven waiting for him, no eternal rest. There were only two choices: Hell or killing his fellow man. Waking up after death in his own bed, he began receiving calls from a mysterious voice. The voice offers a simple option: become an assassin and kill those it designates. Refuse and the power that keeps him in the world will be removed... and he'll go straight to Hell.
Coward or killer, he accepts the deal. In a black suit and tie that conceals his identity with a black gun that never runs out of bullets, he is their assassin. But he is not alone: there are other tortured souls who have agreed to the same bargain. They are all Hell-bound; only by killing their targets before the timers on their phones count down do they postpone their fate.
But this is a fate Michael won't accept. Together with other agents, he plots to rebel against the mysterious voice and the blood-soaked deal. But can they really win this fight when the voice holds all the cards? With each kill, his humanity slips away. Is there a way to escape, or do all roads lead to Hell?
