David Aronwitz, a specialized exorcist, has been the target of demonic assassins for as long as he can remember, with his specialized talents, he joins the Execution Underground. His talent and specialization are such that hellspawn fear his name. Regardless, he was just like everyone else in that he fell in love, madly in love, with Allsùn O’Hare. Only to discover later that not only was she the love of his life, but she is part fae. During their relationship, Allsùn unknowingly gave a very special part of herself to David, which wound up protecting her. In the end, David is forced to make one of the most difficult decisions of his life.
While I enjoyed the book there were times when the characters fell rather flat, as if they weren’t fully fleshed out or thought through and the simplest road at the time was taken. There also comes a point where quite a bit of information is thrown at you at once. This makes it difficult and a struggle to understand given the amount of information, which is given. However, once you get over that and manage to get the information all straight, it flows much easier. Also, while it was filled with suspense and action there was very little with blood, guts and gore, although there is some. However, not enough to make me uncomfortable or cause me to not want to finish the book. Rather than overwhelming the reader with a large amount of any of it Ms. Ballenger managed it to be tastefully written, and not over the top. It’s difficult that razor’s edge between too much and not enough. Kait Ballenger definitely pulls it off with style. Overall, there really wasn’t much I didn’t like about the book.
Since this was actually the second book in the series, I loved how the back story was shared but not all at once. It was given a little bit at a time. It was these minor details, which made the characters more realistic and easier to relatate. In the end, I was so engrossed and addicted to the book I couldn’t put it down, and read it at every opportunity. I would definitely recommend Immortal Hunter to my friends, especially those who enjoy paranormal action with a twist of romance thrown in for good measure, especially the House of Night series.
I received a free copy of Immortal Hunter (Execution Underground #2) from Harlequin in exchange for my fair and honest review.
