Round two of Hunter Training is gearing up…
Melanie Harper never thought she’d get very far with Hunter Training. Her magical gift was minor at best, and she’d been coerced into attending, so if she was cut, no big deal. At least, that’s the way she’d felt until she met Logan Vance. The big, strapping, grizzly shifter is just what she wants, and she’ll do whatever it takes to claim him.
Logan Vance has no desire for a mate. His bear isn’t cute and cuddly. Like all Vance bears, he’s a dominant, belligerent monster. He’d never expose someone he loves to that kind of danger. Pair that with an unsavory incident with an aggressive woman in his past, and that put Melanie Harper firmly off-limits. Now, if he could just convince his bear of that…
As stage two of Hunter Training begins, a rogue vampire is wreaking havoc on the streets of New Orleans and Melanie fits this predator’s taste to a T. Will the Hunters be able to find this deadly menace before he finds her?

This is Melanie Harper and Logan Vance’s story which began in book one, Exes, Hexes and Tactics, which I definitely suggest reading first. Mel has had her eyes on Logan ever since she and her best friend Nina signed up for Hunter training, once only open to vampires it is now open to all types of paranormal. Nina and Mel are both witches and it took some convincing for Mel to join, well actually it didn’t take more than Nina telling her how many good-looking men she would meet and Logan checked all her boxes.
Mel made it through round one even though her magic leaves a lot to be desired. Her acceptance to learn comms and tech got her through since most of the trainees prefer being out in the field. Her attempts to get Logan to notice her are still a work in progress, she approaches and he backs away but she is not one to give up.
Logan is a grizzly bear shifter with a family tragedy that made him believe he has a monster inside, a monster that could hurt Mel, something he would not risk doing. He wants Mel but knows he is not the right man for her, a man that could turn violent. All his determination is nothing compared to Mel’s determination and he finds that he can’t resist this beautiful, funny and persistent woman. Even after revealing why he didn’t want to be with her she doesn’t bat an eye and just goes in for a kiss, he realizes that he is helpless against her.
As the relationship between Mel and Logan heats up there is danger brewing: young women are being drained of blood by a rogue vampire and they all resemble Mel. Now the hunt is on for the killer before Mel becomes his next target. Who the killer is I won’t even talk about for fear it will give it away and the mystery is a big part of the story.
This series is wonderful, wonderful characters, romance, mystery, secrets and surprises and as I stated before I highly suggest reading book one first since the characters appear in each book and believe me Mel is quite a character lol.
