Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Walker's latest is a humdrum foray into romantic paranormal adventure that's bogged down by thin characters and indistinguishable sex scenes. After bounty hunter Kane Winter witnesses the murder of his partner, Duke, during a botched drug deal, one of the only things he remembers is a beautiful, enigmatic woman who haunts his dreams. Turns out that woman is Kendall, a vampire and a Hunter for a supernatural cadre of vigilantes who protect humanity from the Hunters' "evil" counterparts. When Kane begins a quest to find Duke's killers, he discovers a knack for sniffing out and killing vampires, bringing him back in contact with Kendall. Together, they begin taking out bad guys and making frenzied vamp-hunter love, both of which grow tiresome, leading to a conclusion predictable to everyone except the characters involved. (July)

Another Good Story From Shiloh,
By
This review is from: Hunting The Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a romance story of Kane and Kendall. She is a Hunter (and vampire) and he thinks she has killed his partner. This story is hot and not for the unadventurous. I did have the advantage of reading the other Hunter books before I read this one but I do not think it was necessary. If you liked this one I would recommend you getting a hold of Shiloh Walker's earlier Hunter stories.

Peew! It stinks!,
By WhyBelLache "Moi" (Winnipeg, Manitoba) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunting The Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't usually write reviews. . . .but in this case I will make an exception. I can't beleive the reviews I've read on this book! (All good, I might add.) If I could I would give it a minus 5 stars. What absolute trash! If I had wanted to read porno I would have bypassed the "romance" section of the book store and gone straight to the Erotica section where this book belongs. This is the very first book I purchased by this author,(mainly because of the reviews as I mentioned), and that being said, it will definitely be the last!

Promising new series,
By Allie D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hunting The Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very nice start for a series. In Walker's world, vampires, psychics, witches and wereanimals are policed by a group of their own, the fate-determined Hunters. Kendall is a 300 year old vampire who has to face her own personal demons. Kane is a human bounty hunter who at first thinks Kendall is his personal demon, but quickly learns otherwise. Simply put - they have great chemistry together. I read a LOT of sf/fanstary/romance/erotica and you can start to get desensitized, but Walker's writing puts a little zing in your blood :). The world and the story aren't really that complex (nothing like Kim Harrison or Charlaine Harris), but I'm hoping future books in the series will complicate things. On the down side, I was a little confused by the epilogue - I didn't know if this was supposed to be a preview for the next book (which it didn't seem like) or the beginning of a thread that weaves its way through all of the books. I look forward to the next one in this series. Hopefully it won't be too repetitive and we'll have a great new SF author on our hands! On a total side note, did anyone else think the cover for this book looks a little too much like L.A. Banks?

Only okay...,
By Jem - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hunting The Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
Unfortunately, this book did not live up to it's potential. Kendall and Kane have good chemistry, and it was a nice change for the woman to be the vampire with the advantage over the man. However, that did not make up for the plot not appearing until 2/3 of the way into the book. And, once they realized who the enemy was, instead of going after her, the reader is treated to 20 + pages of Kendall whining about how she can't lose Kane (really). The kick-butt vampire hunter is suddenly weeping every other page and her man has to comfort her.
It is romance, I expect sex. But, it just interfered with an already weak plot instead of enriching it. When they know their fellow hunter is in mortal danger, do they rush to his aid? No, they have sex. Several times. And, of course the man dominates the sex scenes. I like a bit more equality between sex partners. This book wasn't a bad read--if you have nothing better on your shelf. I highly recommend reading Sherrilyn Kenyon, or Angela Knight before picking this up. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

More like 4 1/2 stars...,
By Deborah Wiley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hunting The Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
Kane Winter has been haunted by the night his partner, fellow bounty hunter Duke Monroe, died. Nightmares of vampires and a mysterious woman torment him until he finds her. Kendall, the woman he holds responsible for Duke's death, isn't just any vampire. She is a Hunter, dedicated to tracking down and destroying rogue vampires. Kane soon realizes that Kendall isn't the killer he envisions. But will the powerful attraction between them be enough when their lives are on the line?
HUNTING THE HUNTER offers a slightly different take on the world of vampires and other supernatural beings. Shiloh Walker has created an interesting world in which all vampires are neither good nor evil, but rather they make choices that determine how they use their abilities. This is my first Hunter book so I'm still absorbing the details of this world, but it is definitely one I intend to read more about. Shiloh Walker has a definite gift at creating tension in her stories. There were times when I couldn't turn the pages rapidly enough as I just had to see what would happen next. The complexity of the story was a bit surprising and I enjoyed the flashbacks to Kendall's earlier years as it provided more understanding as to her current actions. It also helped temper Kendall's angst, which would have otherwise made her annoying but instead made her a sympathetic character. One thing is a certainty with any book by Shiloh Walker- she can write one heck of a romance! The attraction between Kane and Kendall was strong and fast, with some very steamy scenes. Kane and Kendall belonged together and it was refreshing to read a story in which the two main protagonists recognized this immediately, regardless of their rather obvious differences. HUNTING THE HUNTER is a compelling read. Shiloh Walker delivers a fantastic romance coupled with a dark but very well done vampire tale. HUNTING THE HUNTER is an intriguing story that leaves this reviewer wanting more of the Hunters series! COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES |
