REVIEW Hunter's Hope (Vampire Motorcycle Club #2) by Alyssa Day

"Alyssa Day’s Hunter’s Hope is a quick read of which trump is Alice's wittiness shown in her dialogues and monologues. Her swift, smart, and frank lines and comebacks kept me amused and fresh during vampires’ hours."- Mythical Books


REVIEW

Hunter is the good guy Turned into… a good guy even as a vampire. He must make peace and accept its vampirism with all the pluses and the minuses (many yet to be discovered and mastered) that are a full-package deal. Lucky him, and us, he quickly meets his Alice. Lucky is just a way of saying because, at least at first, the attraction he feels for her is dangerously challenged by his attraction for her blood.

And because I mention pluses and minuses, let see… the pluses: Alyssa Day gives us vampires, werewolves, warlocks, ghosts, angels – the fallen type, demons, and dragons. Some are friends, some are lovers, others are allies and some are enemies. She puts the friends and allies together and generously adds humour with an extra sexiness and passion for the lovers’ interactions. After that, she starts (T)urning the alarm signs spread on the way since the beginning into real dangers and lets the enemies make their presence known. Death, the real, permanent one for our vampires, werewolves, angels, and demons is just collateral for the bad, cruel, corrupt, and lethal enemies. Lowering the guard is a mistake that could (T)urn any expected denouement.

As a minus, yes, vampires and werewolves are looking great on their Harleys but there is no MC in this Vampire MC story. Admitting that romance is the focus of the story, still, I would have liked a better developed “battle against the evil”.

Anyway, Alyssa Day’s Hunter’s Hope is a quick read of which trump is Alice's wittiness shown in her dialogues and monologues. Her swift, smart, and frank lines and comebacks kept me amused and fresh during vampires’ hours.

PS1: the volumes are connected through the characters, but they are standalone; the common plot is identifiable but not pursued as the Hunter’s Hope plays only on Alice’s front.

PS2: I want "a" Charlie... 

Description:

Hunter Evans risked his life again and again as a firefighter until the night he died saving a child…only to be reborn as a vampire. Now the man who lived his life as the quintessential “nice guy” must find a way to conquer the deadly urges that threaten to turn him feral. When his own actions put a beautiful woman in danger, he vows to protect her…even from himself.

Alice Darlington has a secret of her own: she sees ghosts. She thought she’d done a good job of keeping it under wraps—until now. A terrible threat from her past is hunting her down in order to use her power for dark purposes. Now she’s on the run and doesn’t know who to trust or where to go.

When Hunter and Alice team up to battle the dangers coming at them from all sides, they’re forced to rely on each other. But Hunter doesn’t know how long he can keep the beast inside him away from the woman it craves…
