Customer Reviews

Love this series!!!

I absolutely LOVE this series. If you've read the 1st one, then so much won't surprise you, but these books have it all---good story, good "romance" and leave you waiting for the one.

loved it

This was a great book. It had a really great plot combined with some great love scenes. The love between the characters was believeable and smoldering sexy. The ending was a little sappy but I loved it anyways. WIll definitely investigate this authors other books.

Demon Hunter series

This second book in the Demon Hunters series is as hot, suspenseful and action packed as the first book. I was hooked from the first page ~ after waiting rather impatiently to get my greedy little hands on this book in the first place - I limited my fluid intake and read the whole book in one sitting - all 417 pages. The members of the Ream of Light that we met and fell in love with in the first book are all back as they try to convince Derek's brother, Nic just who is friends and enemies - the Sons of Darkness are. This book is fast paced with an engrossing storyline, interesting characters, vivid descriptions and erotic romance. Next summer can't come soon enough for the next book in the series, The Demon's Touch with Ryder and Angelique's story.

story line is fast-paced and just over the top in zaniness

Realm of Light demon hunter Shay Pearson is assigned to take out demon Nic Diavolo. Her plan is to seduce the hunk until she has him caught in her lure so that she can bring him to his brother. On the other hand Nic is attracted to Shay so he plans to seduce her. However, Nic has some issues to deal with that he does not understand because he is unaware, unlike his sibling (see SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND) that his father was a demon, making him a half breed. When he comes under attack, Shay stays at his side helping him survive as she knows he is special to her. However, when she tells him the truth and what he believed about his family is a lie, he rejects her fantasy though he wonders what is happening to him. The sequel to the exhilarating campy SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND, HUNTING THE DEMON is as much fun as its paranormal predecessor. The story line is fast-paced and just over the top in zaniness so that readers will enjoy the latest battle in the war against the demons. Nic and Shay are a superb pairing as the heroine knows that a deadly foe is coming for the half demon; she is confident against the adversary but unsure of how to deal with her new "partner". Fans of wild comic book like paranormal romantic suspense tales will enjoy this engaging encounter in which Shay's "demons" from her past stand in the way of love as much as the enemy does.

Fantastic, fun read.

Nic Diavolo, doesn't know that his often absent father is a demon, and not just any demon but a demon lord and one of the Son's of Darkness that rule the demons. He does know that he has disturbing dreams about monsters, monsters that seem to want something from him. Shay Pearson's assignment is to find out just how much Nic knows about his heritage and whether or not he is or will let the demon side rule. Shay belongs to the Keepers of Light, the good guys who are trying to prevent the demons from committing crimes on Earth. Shay is drawn to Nic both sexually and emotionally making this one of the hardest things she has ever had to do. In addition Shay is having visions about Nic, dark visions. Add in a brother Nic doesn't remember, a black diamond that both the Keepers and the Sons are desperate to find, and evil forces that want to compel Nic to recognize his demon side and take his place as a demon lord and you have a hot sexy romance with loads of exciting adventure. This is a great book, better than the first. The chemistry between Nic and Shay was out of this world. I love the way Jaci develops her characters, they pop off the pages and take on a life of their own and I just plain liked Shay better than I did Gina from Surviving Demon Island.
