Since today is an public holiday in my country, i decided to use my limited free time to share with you my opinion on a new book earlier than expected.
I discovered "Hunter, hunted"by Ashley Meira during a giveaway if i remember well and i was very attracted by the cover so i had to learn more..when the author kindly offered us the opportunity to check and review the book i couldn't resist and i'm glad i didn't try^^
So happy reading!

Description from goodreads :
Talented witch and monster hunter extraordinaire, Morgan Maxwell has spent most of her life killing deadly paranormal creatures - and searching for any information related to the mother who disappeared from her life when she was four. Following a deadly encounter, Morgan is stuck on bed rest in her hometown and has resigned herself to a few months of binging on TV shows.
But when a straightforward murder investigation takes an even worse turn with the discovery of another body - one that leaves Morgan brokenhearted and lusting for revenge - she's forced to do something she never wanted to do: work with the sexy and insufferably sweet man who came to put her in handcuffs - and not in the fun way.
Oh, and she has to kick a ton of bad guy ass, but that's something she's always happy to do.
Hunter, Hunted is the first book in The Spire Chronicles urban fantasy series, and is 52,000 words of fast paced action!
The Spire Chronicles series in reading order (with more to come!):
Hunter, Hunted
Ties that Bind
King's Gambit (Coming late April 2016)

My opinion:
Great discovery! The first thing
that caught my eyes for once is the cover, i loved the colors and i was in the
mood for magic users and urban fantasy so after reading the blurb this book
seemed perfect for me. I wasn't disappointed to say the least.
This is a new universe where Hell and
Heaven have agents keeping "peace" on earth along with an hunters
order...we even get some information about how it happened which is something i
really like ( great background setting always make a story better in my
opinion) so to resume you have humans, normal one, some magic users working
with demons ( good ones)...we also learn that vampires and werewolves exist in
this universe.
The main Character is Morgan, an hunter
talented in elemental magic and friend with Ipos, the second of lucifer himself
she also lives with a talking cat , mentor and maternal figure in a sense)
named Rowan.
When a caravan is attacked
Alex, another hunter, is in charge of the investigation thanks to his
power to speak to the dead which leads him to Morgan. Starting from that point it's
non stop action ^^ you jump from one investigation to the next and the author
manage to slowly offer you more information
on the universe, Morgan, Rowan etc without cutting the rhythm of the
action. It's really a pleasant and more reads one that leave you with more
questions but not in an anguish because
of a cliffhanger either so it's simply
perfect.
The only element i wasn't fond of is
Morgan attitude....even now that i've finished reading this story it's still bother me. I love my characters
being loyal and i guess then exclusive. Morgan is jumped to bed with everyone
she fancies...worse in my opinion she even do it with people she doesn't know
for more than a few hours and in a house where someone dear to her died.....
For me she could be Ipos girlfriend , yes he is a demon etc but it wouldn't
hurt me as much as Morgan jumping from one to another even in the same day.
It's a personal opinion of course and that aside the main plot and secondary
characters make me want to read more ...i just hope she will end up choosing
and sticks to her choice.
Ipos is funny and doesn't hide his
demonic nature...i really loved that you could imagine that their races doesn't
determine if they are good or evils. Alex is...in fact i can't really have an
opinion on him yet he can act tender but he has a lot of secrets.Rowan made me
laugh...she may be a cat but her personnality is hilaring and she can be very
inventive in her threats.
All put together this is a series i
would like to continue but if you are someone who doesn't like demons in your
stories you may want to skip this one as
they are a lot and a lot of reference to it. It's really good urban fantasy
Score: 4/5
