Week 29 Review: On the Hunt

From Goodreads:
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter, Shannon K. Butcher, Jessica Andersen, and Deidre Knight present a steamy collection of all-new novellas featuring sexy paranormal hunters.

With shadowy creatures, intoxicating magic, vivdly imagined worlds, and sizzling passion, this is an anthology no fan of paranormal romance will want to miss.

In New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter's Ever Night, Rose Pascal is swept into a dark, haunting world every year on her birthday - a world ruled by a warrior king who hunts her kind. Neither of them can deny the passion that soon consumes them both....

In Shannon K. Butcher's The Collector, demon hunter Neal Etan sets out to acquire a powerful artifact, but finds much more in beautiful Viviana Rowan. The antique dealer's touch strengthens his magic - and her life may be in Neal's hands if they don't recover the artifact in time....

In Jessica Andersen's Crystal Skull, archaeologist Natalie Albright's dig gets shut down amid rumors she has awakened the local demons. But when the terrifying underworld creatures attack, Natalie must team up with her ex to survive. As they fight the ancient menace, they discover a destiny that binds them together - and threatens to tear them apart....

And in Deidre Knight's Red Angel, Jamie Angel, leader of the deadly Nightshades, has tracked every kind of monster and demon that roams the darkness, but none of his experiences can prepare him for falling in love with one of the creatures he's trained to destroy...

My Review:
This was a fantastic anthology! I utterly loved it, because it has a Gena Showalter novella! And yeah, it had 3 other great novellas, but the primary reason why I read the anthology was because of the Gena Showalter story, because I need to read all of Gena Showalter's books!

First off, was the one I've been talking about, and yeah, it was just freaking great! I loved the world, and honestly, I think that it would be awesome if we got a series to go with this story, because yeah, it was just that freaking awesome!!

Next was The Collector, which is set in a world where I haven't read the previous books, but now I really want to, the whole, the male has the energy, he dies if he doesn't bond with his female, who uses the energy, yeah, that was pretty cool!

The next one did the same for me, because hey, lots of really cool stuff, even though the way that he was a slave, and that their people were slaves, that was wrong, but yeah, it seems like it's not going to be like that in the other books, that attitude was destroyed along with most everyone else just after he left.

The final story, not exactly my favourite, I didn't really like the hero, because he was a bit of a womanizer before he met her, and yeah, I just didn't care for his initial character, I liked his grown, and who he becomes, so yeah, that was great!

All in all, a really, really great anthology, loved it so much!
