The Vampire Hunter #2
Stalking Dead
In the second installment of The Vampire Hunter series, Aurora finds herself getting dangerously close to Lucas, the sexy vampire who was hired to send her back to the grave. As Lucas fights his own attraction to Aurora, he can’t bring himself to follow through on his orders to kill her. Instead, he tries to help Aurora and her best friend Henry solve the mystery behind her resurrection. They dig up her grave to find out what item of hers was placed there when she was brought back to life.
As it becomes increasingly obvious that Henry thinks of Aurora as more than a friend, she is torn between the two guys. As much as she is drawn to the mysterious Lucas, she is also deeply attracted to Henry. But deciding what she wants will have to wait – when Lucas didn’t follow orders, someone else was hired to do the job. And the new hunters on the scene have a history with Lucas. They would like nothing more than to kill Lucas and send Aurora back to her grave – permanently.

Another good story
Book 2 and although I only rated it a 3 star, the story is definitely getting good. I look forward to seeing what happens next

Soooo, yeah....this wasn't an improvement on the first book. Nope, still annoyed me at almost every turn. I still found Aurora to be a vapid, useless, unpleasant heroine. I still found the love triangle contrived and infuriating. I still found both heroes substanceless.
The main problem I seem to have with this series is that a girl rose from the dead. She's being hunted by supernatural assassins. "Agencies" (don't ask me what that means or entails) all over the world know about her "case" (don't ask what constitutes a case). She has a mysterious medium who pops up with timely advice on occasion and a vampire lusting after her (and vice versa) but the book is essentially dedicated to a weak love triangle, Henry's basketball practice and whether his father is having an affair or not.
Seriously, given everything that's supposedly going on, I don't really care about her adolescent obsession over who she has or hasn't kissed (even as YA). I sure don't care who his father may or may not be kissing. And the whole, 'he might be having sex with a man, thus his whole life and marriage must be a lie, since he obviously can't also be attracted to women' instant assumption is insulting to the extreme. Talk about jumping to conclusions and making simplistic judgements. Ugh.
Aurora never presses on important points. People all around her have information she should want. I mean, how she died is worth pressing for. But she never does. She just lets it all slide. Useless!
I have the rest of the series and if reading it wasn't so painful, I might be interested in knowing the cause of the 'living dead girl.' But I just can't face any more of the dull, flat recitation of daily events.

While I love the idea behind this series the first book 'Living Dead Girl' didn't live up to expectations and that should have been that but I'd already downloaded the first 5 books in this series since they were all free so I thought I'd give this one a go as well.
Same problem as before I'm afraid, it's slow, tediously so and when you reach the end you're really no further forward than you were at the beginning and I have so many issues which I can't raise without making this a 'spoiler' review which I don't really like to do, so many things didn't make sense and I really don't like Aurora at all so I'm going to delete the next 3 from my kindle.

I don't really know what to say, it's still pretty much slow paced, still a kinda love triangle and still obsessing over hot guys.
But...
I still have to carry on reading... i need to know the answers ...how she died, who made her undead and why and of course
Henry or Lucas ? And not forgetting what is Henrys dad really up to?
**edit** I feel harsh only giving 3 stars as I did enjoy this book a bit more than the first.

I'm up to the 3rd book in the series and find it captivating enough to keep going. It's an easy read and enjoyable so far

In this story, Aurora, Lucas, and Henry go to dig up Aurora's grave. Inside, they find an item she kept near and dear to her. It's part of what brought her back, but why? They still don't know. They're stilling looking for answers.
Henry has been seeing a medium to help try to get answers. The medium senses that Aurora's in danger.
Lucas had thought an old friend called him with information about Aurora, but it's a set up.
Relationships are tested and tension begins to build.

I am sorry but I can't give a whole star just because the book is so well written. Just like Madly this book, the second of the series shows absolutely nothing, nada, zipp. It so boring that you might actually find yourself trying to decide how you wanna kill yourself. Don't waste your time!!

I really enjoyed the second book too. It was still a very good developing story and we get to know the characters even better.

3 stars in the category of a short book. 2 stars if you're considering this a complete novel.

I like this series, and Lucas and Aurora and Henry are all wonderful characters with complex personalities. I would read more from this author.

Oh hells bells, still no closer to finding out what is truly up with Aurora but the ending, dear god!
