My Review:

4.5 Out Of 5 Stars

Genre: Romance, Supernatural, Suspense, Urban Fantasy, Vampires, Witches--

Rainey lives a double life nobody knows about, by day a homicide detective and at night the last in a long line of Vampire Hunters. When a typical vampire hunt goes horrible off course, Rainey realizes that there might be more going on in the supernatural community than she could have guessed. To make matters more complicated, two mysterious men show up and try to assist Rainey in her hunt, both with complicated pasts and motivations, making her unsure who to trust. With the danger in the city increasing and her own past coming back in a surprising way, Rainey needs to make hard choices and decide where her destiny should take her.

I love all things Urban Fantasy (hands down my favorite genre) and I was super excited to jump into this new series I knew nothing about. I will admit that I was uncertain if this was going to be more action/urban fantasy or a paranormal romance but I can 100% confirm that while there was a tiny dash of forbidden romance with a single not detailed sex scene, the story was completely action and danger packed. There was some great supernatural world building that I appreciated, a darker side to the sparkly vampires that seem so common now- instead we have a dangerous blood thirsty hierarchy and a few remaining hunters who have special enhanced abilities to stand against the rising darkness. I loved learing about the world as well as Rainey's super complicated past as well as her relationship dynamic between her and the side characters. I also liked that while there was personal angst and paranormal action, there was also the interesting aspect of the police investigation/pocedural part to the story that kept the story unique.

The story was dual narrated by Rainey and Elijah, alternating at chapters, and I am a huge fan of dual perspectives (which is also why I was a little uncertain if this was a romance since that is more a romance thing to do). While the book was basically split evenly between the two charcters, I feel as if this was more Rainey's story than ELijah- maybe because I learned more about her and felt more connected to her as a person than with the elusive super old vampire. I am really glad the story was dual narrated though since I feel like this way I was able to experience the entire story insted of being left- but yet again, I am a sucker for dual narration.

Overall this was a great start to a new series that I will very definetly be finishing. I will admit to being shocked at the ending to this story, it was very much a huge shocking cliff hanger that I never saw coming, and almost nothing was resolved here so be glad the rest of the books are ready available to jump into. The Vampire Huntress Chronicles are a great choice for anyone who wants more vampires or urban fantasy in thier lives as well as a great paranormal based mystery.

Blood Captive

She was the hunter. Now, she's the prey.

Detective Rainey Astor has run headfirst into danger for as long as she can remember. Her trip to Salem was no different, and although she and Elijah are back in Billings, nothing could have prepared them for the repercussions they will face upon their return home.

Their ritualistic style murders scream sacrifice, but there's something darker at work, something far more sinister than Rainey or Elijah could have anticipated.

As someone begins beckoning to Rainey from the shadows, drawing her closer and closer into their web, she unearths a horrible truth that will alter her irrevocably. And soon she will discover, not even Elijah can shield her from what's to come.
