complex characters

Hunting the Hunter takes place in a world that is our world, with vampires and shapeshifters thrown in. I trust that we'll discover more about the various supernatural types and the Hunter organization as the series progresses. There was enough worldbuilding in this book for it to make sense to me, and that's all I needed. At the beginning of the book, hero Kane and his friend Duke, a shapeshifing big cat, are bounty hunters. In the process of taking down a drug dealer, they're attacked by vampires, and the last thing Kane remembers is Duke bleeding to death and a female vampire psychically knocking him out. From then on, Kane's goal in life is to avenge Duke's death by hunting vampires. Then he meets Kendall, and discovers that the vampire he thought had killed Duke is actually a Hunter, and that there's another danger out there they'll have to work together to overcome. The characters are interesting and complex, and there was a realism to them beyond the lone-hunter stereotype. It was unusual to have a vampire heroine and human hero, but the power difference was balanced somewhat by Kane's partial immunity to vampire mind-control. I'll be looking forward to the next book in this series.

Awesome!! Very SEXY!!

This is a great addition to this series!! Can't get enough of this series by Shiloh Walker. Spine tingling!! Very sexy!!

Another hit for Shiloh Walker

I have been reading Shiloh Walker for sometime and this book is no disappointment. I feel that the other reviewers have already given the idea behind the book so I don't feel it's necessary for me to review that again. I first read "Beginning" a bit back it contains the first two Hunter stories, and enjoy those but this one is the best the detail, the story line, everything draws you into this world. This book stands alone so if you haven't read any of the other hunters that's ok you won't be lost. Enjoy your dreams

Seductive and Enthralling!!!

This book only cements why I believe Shiloh Walker to be one of the best paranormal authors out there. This book has it all...great vampire/magical story line...a heroine and hero that grab your heart and don't let go...sensuality hot enough to singe your fingers and give you hot flashes...and a depth that makes you remember why you love the romance of vampire tales. Bravo, Ms. Walker for a job fabulously done! I can't wait for more!!!

exhilarating romantic fantasy

Bounty hunting partners Kane Winter and Duke Monroe were about to arrest one of America's most wanted drug dealers Miles Lancaster when all hell broke loose as two monsters attack the criminals. Duke shapeshifts into the big cat that he can become, but is killed saving the life of his buddy from the boy-man monster vampire. However, a woman actually rescues him from the raging frustrated Anton whom she kills for crimes against humanity; the other vampire Miguel escapes. Two years Kane has searched for the golden eyed vampire slayer. She is his only clue to what happened on that fatal night and the link to the other vampire, but he assumes she was part of it and vows to find and kill her. Kendall knows the mortal bounty hunter she saved is hunting her; ironic because she is a hunter of her people when they turn rogue. When he finally catches up to Kendall he finds his thirst replaced by a hunger of desire that she to her surprise reciprocates; the forbidden relationship cannot be ignored by the two individuals in love or by her species. HUNTING THE HUNTER is an exhilarating romantic fantasy filled with suspense and two interesting protagonists struggling with the prohibited feelings of star-crossed love. The story line is action-packed, but the cast makes the paranormal seem genuine and normal. Shiloh Walker writes a terrific entry due to the changing relationship between the lead couple as neither Kane nor Kendall cannot resist the lure of their hunter. Harriet Klausner
