I don't know how it is possible to write a series and have each new book always be better than the last, but that is exactly what O'Rourke is doing with his Kiera Hudson novels.  These novels,Vampire Shift (The Kiera Hudson Series (Book One)),Vampire Wake (The Kiera Hudson Series (Book Two)), and now Vampire Hunt, have been an extremely riveting rollercoaster ride, each novel taking the reader further into the story and creating more action and suspense.  It seems so unfeasible to be able to create such mind-blowing texts, yet O'Rourke obviously possesses the gift of storytelling, and this dark vampire novel cranks up the action tenfold as Kiera and her friends run for their lives.  Vampire Hunt picks up right where the second novel, Vampire Wake, left off, jumping directly into the action, with cars and helicopters blowing up, vampires taking on vampyrus and, overall, trust being shaken among Kiera and her friends.This novel deals more intently with a love triangle than the previous novels did, and something that I absolutely love about O'Rourke is that he keeps his novels clean.  While Kiera harbors feelings for both Luke and Potter, none of the scenes are racy or inappropriate, which is rare to find in both YA and adult novels in this day and age.  I really enjoyed O'Rourke's portrayal of this love triangle and, though I do hate to say it, I am starting to lean a little more towards Potter, whereas in the previous novels, I haven't even given him a second thought!  The fact that O'Rourke has been able to cause me to swing sides is a testament to his sheer writing abilities, and I am stunned.I especially enjoyed watching Kiera begin her shift and, though we don't have all the answers yet, O'Rourke has set the scene for a pretty intense plotline in the near future.  The ending of this novel left me breathless, and I am extremely excited that the next novel in the series, Vampire Breed, will release next month!!!  So, if you haven't yet begun this series, I highly suggest you do.  It's an amazing tale and you really won't be disappointed.  Five stars!!Check out all O'Rourke's novels!
