Romance Paranormal

Nessa and Dominic are both haunted by memories of a past shrouded by death. Soul mates and lovers separated by over five hundred years, the darkness they both fight may be the very thing that will keep them apart for eternity. Nessa has waited for five centuries for her love to come back to her, now the most powerful witch of the Hunter's is weary of life and heartsick of losing all she let's into her life. Taking on risky life endangering missions, Nessa survives with unusual consequences. Dominic has dreamed of a different life, a different time his entire life, first, as a human, and now as a vampire and a Hunter. But the dreams have taken on a darker edge and he has to race to prevent a HUNTER'S FALL. Tragedy is the theme to the newest addition of Shiloh Walker's Hunter series, HUNTER'S FALL. The dark tones of the story only begin to ease up when Nessa and Dominic find not only themselves but each other. Long-time fans will see some familiar and favorite characters giving our duo support from the sidelines as well a new faces for new storyline hopefuls. First time readers won't be lost and will be able to read this as a standalone book though it is part of a series and there are characters from previous stories that help build the world and storyline. Keeping the main characters on edge throughout the story gave HUNTER'S FALL a tone rarely seen in the genre. Shiloh Walker keeps the characters true to form and it is an interesting read to see main characters who deal with the harsher sides of being a good guy, especially for over five centuries in Nessa's case. In all, Shiloh Walker's HUNTER'S FALL keeps the reader guessing as to what will happen next and whether or not Nessa and Dominic will ever find happiness in the end and is well worth the read.

SUMMARY

UNKNOWN PAST Something strange is happening to Nessa. Ever since she survived a near-death experience she’s not exactly who she used to be—and enjoying every minute of it. Then she’s called upon to go to battle against darkness. If only she could remember why. UNEXPECTED LOVER Dominic is having his own problems with memory, sanity, and hallucinations. Sent to Excelsior, the covert Hunter training facility, he senses a female presence that seems so hauntingly familiar. That’s because he and Nessa share a forgotten past. UNSEEN EVIL As Nessa and Dominic regain their memories, their strange mission against evil becomes clearer. And all the more dangerous because whether they should trust each other is the still the greatest unknown of all.

Excerpt

She cried. His pretty little witch was crying. Standing in a field of stone, surrounded by people, yet utterly alone. Day bled into night and the people drifted from her side and still she cried. She was alone now, save for one woman and one man. Anger bit into him as the man—the vampire—dared to lift a hand to touch the witch. Dared to wrap a big arm around her slender shoulders and draw her close. Tears choked him. Her pain racked him. He wanted to reach out to her. He wanted to be the one to comfort her, to hold her against him as she wept. But when he whispered her name, she didn’t hear him. ~*~ Dominic came awake with her name on his lip sand a tearing pain in his heart. Snarling, he fought free of the covers and dashed a hand over his damp face. Crying. Damn it. Again. Dreams of some woman he’d never met and he wakes up crying. He stared at the pink smears on his fingertips and stormed into the bathroom to wash away the blood-tinged tears. With water dripping from his face, he looked at the mirror. A muscle worked in his jaw and he gripped the edge of the marble counter. "This is ridiculous," he muttered. He was obsessed. Obsessed, dreaming about the same woman, night after night, year after year. And now he was even crying like some pansy in his dreams. "What in the hell is this?" Shoving away from the counter, he strode to the enclosed shower and turned on the water with an angry flick of his wrist. He needed a damn hot shower, he needed a good hard run,maybe even a down and dirty fight—if he could get all three of those, it might lighten his dark mood. But somehow he doubted it. The dreams were getting worse, and he had a bad feeling he knew why. Dominic Ralston was going crazy.
