Hunter's Salvation by Shiloh Walker
Hunter’s Salvation by Shiloh Walker
Vax used to be a Hunter. He used to track down evil in all its scary forms, evil that preyed on humans. But when that evil took out someone he loved he walked away, never wanting to hurt or be hurt like that again. Unfortunately, somebody somewhere needs him and the pull to return won’t let him go. It’s as if he has no choice.
Jess
When Vax and Jess come face to face and realise they are tracking the same thing Jess just wants him out of her way. She doesn’t care that he is trained for this and she isn’t. Even after he saves her from an evil worse than they even imagined, she isn’t sure. However, Vax and Jess are drawn to each other and they join forces to hunt down a weird cross-breed and its origin.
When this book started out I wasn’t really hooked. Having not read the previous book I didn’t find any of this information compelling or interesting. However, the end of the first chapter caught me. Interesting. Now I was intrigued. I read further. OK, again I felt the first couple of chapters were a bit abrupt and that’s how I read them (I picked the book up and put it down several times) but I could see where the author was going and I was compelled to read on.
The more I read the more I was hooked. Half-way through chapter three I didn’t want to put the book down anymore. I wanted to keep reading. I wanted my kids to go play elsewhere so I could keep reading. What a fantastic, and scary, world Ms. Walker has created. The mind boggles at the imagination required to build this world. This reviewer found it fresh and original. There is another point in the book that we meet other Hunters from the past. This was well done and I didn’t feel the need to read those books to understand what was going on (I want to now but I don’t need to). I felt like I knew what I needed to about the various Hunters, enough to keep me moving through the story and not be confused.
The tension between Vax and Jess is well done. I longed for them to find each other and bit by bit they worked their way in to each others hearts. Even the “morning after” moment was well done. I thought this was very typical guy stuff, very real. I also liked that afterwards Jess got hurt and then pissed. That’s how I would have felt too. This book had comedy, horror, drama and emotion to spare and it was all believable.
I recommend Hunter’s Salvation and look forward to reading more in this series by Shiloh Walker.
I give this 4.5 kisses. Review for Romance Divas
