Nocturnal Book Reviews

Another fun read from Ms Cameron which reminded me slightly of Vampire Academy because the main heroine was a young, inexperienced vampire hunter who constantly questioned authority. Sounds like Rose, right? There were other similarities as well.

However don't get me wrong, this is all generalisation at best, and Hunter is a very good story with its own unique flavour.



Ryann just graduated as a very talented hunter, and her first mission along with a bunch of other newbies is to find and kill Zara Lane, whose delightful character we met in Bloodlines.



She has to contact a local psychic, Ellie Rhys and ask for his help in the search of a famous vampire assassin. However, very slowly Ryann's world is falling apart at the seams along with her investigation.

Nothing is as black and white as she was told during her years of study in a convent. The world is big, exciting and confusing, the monsters are good and bad, and not just all evil, but worst of all, her own teachers and mentors are not as noble and righteous as she was led to believe.

The story is straightforward, but it doesn't feel boring more like cosy. You know, like a favourite pair of comfortable pyjamas? Zara's appearance spices everything up and makes it all the more entertaining, and the ending is pretty romantic.

Overall, an easy, lovely read. Especially recommended for newbies in urban fantasy. It's not overly dark or grisly to put people off, and it's fun.
