"Monster Hunter Vendetta (Monster Hunter International Book 2)" by Larry 
Correia
  
https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Vendetta-Larry-Correia/dp/1439133913/

Book number two of an eight book dark fantasy series.  There are several 
other books that are spinoffs from the series, prequels and such.  I 
first read this book in 2011.  I reread the well printed and well bound 
MMPB published by Baen that I bought new on Amazon rather than find the 
book in my garage stash.  I have all of the books in the series and am 
rereading through them.

Anita Blake meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer and turns into a guy named 
Owen Pitt.  An accountant turns into a Monster Hunter after a close 
encounter with a werewolf in his office.  Even somewhat reminds me of 
Owen Deathstalker.  If you like Urban Fantasy, you will love this 
hardcore story.  If not, oh well.

The story is sound, the concept is good, the good guys are imperfect and 
the bad guys are real bad.

And, I like Skippy.  It just works that an Uzbekistan Orc can fly a Hind 
24 with the best of them.

I also like agent Franks.  Who would not like Frankenstein's monster ?

The author has a website.  Note, the author does not suffer fools at all 
and will write a 2,000 word essay on why you suck.
