Analise Morell is fighting to find her place in a world that
she would love to blend into. After living at Excelsior, a
school for the gifted to train to be hunters, in order to
gain control of her powers and herself she decides it is
time to move on. She has never felt like she fit in but has
stayed to be with her brother, a powerful physic, who she
would do anything in her power to protect. Now five years
later Ana takes off for Alaska and a fresh start in order to
put the past behind her.
Duke Lawson, a hunter for Excelsior, has constant reminders
of the past and every time he sees Ana he is reminded of how
close he came to death. His mixed emotions over Ana drive
him insane but when it comes down to it he can't even
tolerate another man looking her way. After Ana leaves for
Alaska Duke takes off on one of his many excursions as a
hunter for months but shows back up at Excelsior as if drawn
to the only home he knows. Unfortunately he is just as
restless as he was when he was gone and frustrated that he
can't seem to pinpoint why... At least until he ends up
answering a phone call from Analise.
Now a year later, Analise has grown to love Alaska as her
home. The trouble is that she continues to feel that
something just isn't right but can't seem to pinpoint what
it is. When she calls Excelsior to get help and Duke
answers her call she feels the past rush over her again and
the feelings that flood her don't come only from the fact
that they share an unhappy past. When Duke shows up as her
help and not by his own choice things start off a bit rocky
for them, but when they are faced with death and ghosts they
quickly join forces to hunt down the evil that has made it's
home in the Alaskan wilderness.
The characters from HUNTER'S NEED drew me in and I loved the
fact that the heroine showed true vulnerability. The
struggles that Duke and Analise face in order to overcome
their past while continuing an investigation that leads them
into unknown and shaky territory were wonderfully written.
The story line unfolded in a way that kept me guessing and
moved at a pace that was fast enough to keep me interested
to the point of not wanting to put it down. Shiloh Walker
has delivered a fabulous take on paranormal, suspense and
romance with a touch of eroticism that was compelling and
fresh. A definite must read!
Duke is bitter. A shapeshifter betrayed by the psychic
powers of Analise Morell, he cannot forgive her for putting
him in the clutches of a feral vampire, but he also canÂ’t
shake his desire for her. And when she needs a Hunter, Duke
must face his demons—and hers.
