Bio...
Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid. She fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more...ah...serious vampire stories. She loves reading and writing anything paranormal, anything fantasy, and nearly every kind of romance. Once upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with her family in the Midwest.
"The Huntress" by Shiloh Walker. A prequil to The Hunters series. Novella.
I really enjoyed this story. It tells us how the first Huntress was created. The main characters are Matthew and his wife Rachel. We learn the history of how hunters came to be. The storyline moved quite quickly and once or twice I thought I skipped over something but no, that's just how quick the plot moves along. I really enjoyed this little sneak peak into the past of the Hunters. We even see some familiar names right at the end!
Not in KU but I reread my old copy from many years go. Loved how this explains how The Hunters came about but not sure where the dark ones started out from. Rachel was one brave woman, ahead of her times and Mathew, just a very superb alpha hero for me.
A must read to all who want to read the Hunter's series. This is a fast short story relating the origins of the Hunters. Matthew and Rachel: the first Hunters. The ones thats started it all with the angel Benjamin's guidance. Book was hard to find. Can be found as a single or in an anthology that includes 2 other short Hunter stories: Hunter's Pride and Malachi. Both good to read also. I will be reviewing them separatly.
The vampire monsters are killing the villagers… Rachel’s husband did not come back from a month ago… they are gathered at her home, trying to decide what to do… and her husband shows up, and he’s been changed… but he has control of the vampirism, and he can fight them… and needs another to join him… and she of course steps up (against Matthew’s wishes)… and they form the first Council… to protect humanity…
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is a prequel of sorts to the series. I thought it was pretty well done. Matthew's attitude toward Rachel and how she couldn't become a warrior because she was a woman made me laugh.
Even though this is book 9 in the series, it gives a background as how the Council was started, and the birth of the Hunters. Like all of S.Walker's books, it was just too damn short.
