REVIEW: THE VAMPIRE’S HUNTER is a contemporary, adult stand alone, paranormal romance novella in the author’s ROGUE BROTHERHOOD, a spin off, set in the EXECUTION UNDERGROUND world. This is vampire Mafia boss Corbin Blackwell, and waitress Dani Harper’s story line. THE VAMPIRE’S HUNTER can be read as a stand alone, you do not have to have read the previous series.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Corbin and Dani) THE VAMPIRE’S HUNTER follows the search for Lucien, a vampire trafficking humans, a vampire who destroyed Dani’s life. Dani’s brother Quinn works for Execution Underground, and our heroine has experienced with worst of the worse. Hoping to get information on the vampire, Quinn pushes Dani to seek out the one man that controls her heart. Enter vampire Mafia boss and head of the Cosa della note syndicate Corbin Blackwell, and the man with whom Dani has fallen in love. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Corbin and Dani, and the potential fall-out as their need for revenge threatens the life of our story line heroine.

The relationship between Dani and Corbin is one of unrequited love. Dani has been in love with Corbin for as long as she can remember but believes Corbin wants nothing to do with her love. Corbin has loved and lost, and in this refuses to place Dani in the face of danger but their need for revenge against the vampire that destroyed Dani’s life is about to implode, and Corbin is forced to claim Dani for all time. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced Corbin’s right-hand vampire Kharis; Mafia vampire boss Angelo, siren Cassandra, vampire Lucien, as well as Dani’s brother Quinn,.

THE VAMPIRE’S HUNTER is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is enchanting and inviting; the romance is spicy; the characters are desperate and wounded.
