Hunting the Hunter (The Hunters, Book 9)
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)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
