This is a book review tour hosted by Black Tide Book Tours. A copy of the book was provided in exchange for my honest review.
If you like monster stories and you like some fun detective work, Division X is the book to grab! Randi has just experienced hell, literally, when a rabid animal breaks into her Aunt and Uncle’s home mauling them to death. She and her cousin are the lone survivors but something is different about Randi after the attack. She’s sure it wasn’t a man that broke in and killed them, but no one seems to believe her.
But when she has her first transformation, she knows she was right all along. Now she’s recruited into Division X to help them solve strange cases and use her new strength and abilities to their greatest potential. A really fun read that includes a lot of different story telling elements and makes it fun!
At times it feels a bit drawn out, but the extended dialogue helps to provide insights into each character and why they’re all where they are in Division X. Randi was fun to learn about as well as she transforms through her own self development of struggling with self-worth into a world where she brings something important and can find purpose.
As the story continues to unfold and Randi gets settled into her new role, the real work begins of investigating some strange murders and situations that keep happening. Her and the team are investigating and following the clues that will eventually lead them to their answers. With this book, there is a lot to take in as it pertains to characters, plot and changing settings – but it’s fast paced and a fun ride!
As a fan of monsters, especially the ancient werewolf types, I had a great time with this one!

The monster killing business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
We all have a monster within… understatement of the year. For 24-year-old Randi Matheson, she quite literally does. On every full moon, it rears its hairy head. She wasn’t always like this. Ever since her attack, the animal comes out to play. And on one full moon, the beast inside tries to eat her younger brother.
Division X, a paramilitary group hellbent on the eradication of monsters, intervenes and saves Randi’s brother from being devoured. They take Randi far away and imprison her in a place no monster can escape. Held captive, Randi is given an ultimatum. Work for Division X as a new weapon in the fight against evil or be dissected. Without a real choice, she chooses the former and experiences the dark underbelly of reality as she faces off against vampires, demons, and redneck serial killers. Promised a cure to her condition along the way, Randi does her best to stay alive.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“Who doesn’t like a good story? Whether it be a movie, show, game, book, or a chat with friends, storytelling is an essential part of entertainment. I always wanted to be a storyteller, to entertain, and writing just always felt right to me. It also happens to be cheap.” – August Hill
After receiving an education at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, August Hill started writing Division X, a supernatural horror filled with dark humor, adventure, and sinister creatures that leap off the pages.
His love for all things spooky and scary was unleashed when he discovered Jurassic Park at four years old and the R. L. Stine Goosebumps collection in elementary school. He holds a huge appreciation for 80’s horror and is partial to fun, dark, and witty ensemble casting with younger heroes. Some of his favorite influences include The Lost Boys, Aliens, Gremlins, and An American Werewolf in London to name a few.
Hill’s knack for writing fiction emerged at an early age when he wrote stories for his own enjoyment. He is a collector of horror films and is a board game enthusiast. When not writing, he can be found walking trails with his dog, enjoying movie nights with friends, spending time playing video games, and camping in Maine.
