Hunting Season by Nikki Jefford

Hunting Season (Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter, #4)

by Nikki Jefford

Death is only the beginning…

Better to be a hunter, not prey.

Ever since my partner got kidnapped, I've been on a personal mission to get him back. To do that, I'll need to capture the vampire responsible for destroying my life.

In order to have a snowball's chance at success, I'll have to team up with my most loyal friends—including a certain vampire in black with a provoking talent for distraction.

Old cravings aren’t easily quenched, nor past passions. With knowledge comes danger and I'm at risk on all sides.
I won't go down without a fight!

*Recommended for mature YA and up.

Hunting Season is a big ol' mess! In a good way! Aurora just cannot catch a break! Finding out you're a vampire, having your best friend get kidnapped, and trying to make up with your ex all while hunting evil vampires and trying to take down the agency who stole your life can be exhausting! Seriously. Poor Aurora. But it does make for great reading! Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong as Aurora tries to rescue Dante. Plans keep getting interrupted, and then ruining possible escape plans! Crazy redheads commit vandalism while you're having a hot make out session! So much happens!

I really enjoyed Hunting Season. It just may be my favorite of the series so far! Really, any book that opens with some getting punched in the face is probably going to get me excited! Aurora may not like violence, but she knows how to dole it out when necessary. And she is willing to do anything to get Dante back. Not just because he's her best friend and partner, but because she needs to be honest about her feelings for him. Or lack thereof. This upset me so much! I love Dante! I wanted him and Aurora (and Fane!) together! But I totally get that she loves him as a friend, but she didn't let her feelings for Fane get in the way of the rescue either. There will be a time for romance later! I hope!

Now that my love for Dante is out of the way, I'll talk about the nonstop plot of Hunting Season. Like I said before, everything goes wrong! Aurora and Company have good plans in place, but something always messes them up! Then some aspect of their plan conflicts with possible back up plans or escape plans, and I was just so nervous for them all the time! Why can't something go smoothly!? Although one screwed up plan did allow us to get to know Fane a lot better. His past is very interesting, and I'd actually love a novella about his early time as a vampire!

Hunting Season was pretty great. Something is always happening! Plot points actually move forward even though there are a lot of setbacks. We get to learn more about each of the characters, which I always appreciate. And there's no cliffhanger! Well, the ending isn't nice and neat, since stuff still needs to get done, but for the most part it ends on a relatively calm note. Now to wait for more!
