Hunter #4
Angel Fire
A vacation out of the city sounds like just the ticket for Tori Hunter and Sam Kennedy. Joining their Dallas Police Department pals Casey O’Connor and Leslie Tucker in a rented RV, they set out for the New Mexico mountains—and on a collision course with a manhunt.
FBI agents Cameron Ross and Andrea Sullivan are tracking a deadly quarry in desolate territory. An ex-teammate from Cameron’s Special-Ops days is in deep hiding, planning who-knows-what to cap off a killing spree. With a hostage at stake and time running out, Cameron reluctantly agrees to outside help from women she doesn’t know…or trust.
In the crossover that fans have been clamoring for, it’s a heart-pounding race against time that challenges the courage and commitment of the exceptional women from Gerri Hill’s Hunter’s Way and Devil’s Rock Series.

About the author
Gerri Hill
56 books1,538 followersGerri began writing lesbian romance as a way to amuse herself while snowed in one winter in the mountains of Colorado, and hasn’t looked back. Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix.
Gerri’s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings. When she isn’t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends.
Her favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists she doesn’t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise...
"I love the morning... the beginning of a brand new day. Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. In the early morning—at that cusp of a new day—everything is possible."

3 1/2 Stars. I am a huge fan of Hill's characters Andrea and Cameron, so I absolutely wanted to read this book. Unfortunately, it is no where near as good as her other books with these characters. I did still enjoy it and was happy to read more about Andrea and Cameron.
This book also had Hill's other famous characters, Tori and Sam. What was funny about this book is you got to see how similar Tori Hunter and Cameron Ross really are. I liked the premise of two likeable couples working together. I just think where this book failed a bit was the crime/criminal aspect. It didn't have that heart pumping thriller aspect you are used to in Hill's other books with these same characters. It did still have that comfortable coming home feeling, and while I think this may be the last we get with these characters, I would read another book with Hunter or Ross in it, in a second.
If you are interested in this book I would recommend reading Devil's Rock and Hell's Highway first, for Cameron's and Andrea's backstory (these books are fantastic). And I would also recommend reading at least Hunter's Way for Tori and Sam's main backstory.

So interesting. I confess I read Lex’s review to see why she didn’t like it as much. Then my own ratings from the Tori/Sam series because I found Tori annoying. I will have to revisit that series along the way. Yes, I’m more of an Andi and Cameron fan. The partnership seems more balanced. Sam seems weak to me in a way. Just serving Tori. So that’s why I need to go back and listen to that series. And disagree Lex, give me more Andi/Cameron, not Cameron/Tori work partnership! 😉
So why the high rating? The absolute best part of this book was the Sam/Angel arc. How Ms Hill made me almost an Angel fan is beyond me. I truly feel for Sam and her confusion. I totally understand the why of it because the author confused my brain too. Angel is a killer we see in another light. I thought that was pretty cool and quite an achievement considering the horrible acts he was presently carrying out.

Another good Gerri Hill book.

A short read but action packed nonetheless. Because I came into this one having fully read both the Hunter series and Ross & Sullivan , I could appreciate the character dynamics more, though I think that this can be read as a standalone too.
Casey and Leslie don't get too much screen time (which is fine for me because they are the weaker pairing of the 3). I assumed going into this that I was getting a big happy friend group but that was wishful thinking on my part! Instead we get a more realistic butting of heads from Tori and Cameron who are so similar they're constantly at each others' throats. Andrea and Sam did get along well. Considering the plotline in this one (in which one of them gets taken hostage by a killer), it wasn't going to be conducive to a "girl squad" situation anyway.
But more to that point-- the story was fast-paced and fun to read, but nothing too revolutionary. It was even a bit far fetched. Even though the focus of this book was on the killer and saving the hostage, Gerri Hill still packed in a bunch of heartfelt sex scenes that felt more intimate than raunchy, think touching-as-healing. Sam is arguably my favorite character between these two series, so I was happy to see her play a prominent role in Angel Fire . Like most other Hill books, the great American outdoors is the primary backdrop and I enjoyed reading about it!
This seems to be the end of the road for these characters (at least for now— fingers crossed) and I’ve spent a lot of time with all of them so it’s a bittersweet goodbye. Both series were solid sapphic thriller-romances.
TL;DR- A strong culmination of both Hill's Hunter and Ross & Sullivan series as long as you aren't expecting a mind blowing thriller story. 3/5 stars

This book is exclusively for the fans of characters from the previous book. I felt like, the characters are too crowded but I can see the well thought intention of the writer brining all the characters together for the fans! The plot wasn't really smart, nothing new... however, it is very well written as you expected of the writer! She didn't disappointed in that regard! If you are devoted reader of Gerri Hill (I assume most of you are) then, go for it if not I wouldn't recommend you to take the risk especially if you haven't read the previous books.

I am in love with this series. I feel like holding off on reading the last installment because I don't ever want to say goodbye to these characters.

Average Gerri Hill thriller. Probably the only ones who will want to pick this up are fans of the author's Hunter Series and Devil's Rock series. But only if you are a diehard fan of either series as we get more of the leads. The main problem is the 'more' doesn't add anything to the character development. Except for the case they're handling, not much else goes on...unless you count .
An unintended consequence of throwing all these pairs together (there is a 3rd--Casey/Leslie, but in minor roles only) shows just how closely they all hew to the traditional butch/femme dynamic, resulting in very similar and almost cookie-cutter leads. The femmes Sam and Andrea might as well be interchangeable here. And there are running jokes throughout about how alike Tori and Cameron are. I suppose after 20+ books in the same genre, it's hard not to repeat oneself.
3.5 stars

I'm sad to say that this is the first book that I've read by Gerri Hill that I'm really disappointed about.
I had high hopes, because Tori and Sam are one of my all time favorite lesbian couples.
But then again I should have seen it coming. I mean getting three couples, two different books, in one.
That is not easy.
There was no romance, it was purely a cop story. And even that aspect didn't really pull me in.
I don't think the crime story was a very good one.
Only one upside for me I guess. I got to enjoy these great characters that Miss hill created, once more.
I guess if u are a fan of Tori/Sam and Cameron/Andrea, u still should give it a shot, maybe I was too critical.

Cross over story which I really loved: she's a class writer, is Gerri Hill. Gets the ratio romance to crime right. Recommended.

This is the 4th novel in Gerri Hill's "Hunter's Way" series with favorite characters Hunter and Sam and is also the crossover fans have been waiting for with Cameron Ross and Andrea Sullivan from her "Devil's Rock" series. The start of the book finds Tori Hunter and Sam Kennedy on a long deserved vacation in New Mexico with Casey and Leslie. The two couples rented an RV and are camped out in a quiet state park. Unfortunately, things don't stay quiet for long when a park ranger asks for their help with a potentially dangerous situation. Enter Cameron and Andi who are on the trail of a lethal sniper Cameron worked with back in her Special Ops days. Can the strong-willed Cameron and Hunter learn to work together to save his hostage?
So this is another review in which I'll say, if you haven't read the previous books, please start there. You could read this novel as a stand alone but the interaction between the characters would not entirely make sense and would not be as satisfying. Each series had a few books before this one and are all good reads worth the time, especially if you are a fan of crime stories with serial killers and attractive lesbian cops and federal agents. In the Hunter series are Hunters Way, In the Name of the Father and Partners. In the Ross & Sullivan series are Devil's Rock and Hell's Highway.
In regards to this latest entry in the series, I enjoyed the story itself. I found myself having compassion for the antagonist and could understand why Sam experienced her conflicting feelings towards him. Not everything in life is black and white; many times we live in the gray. The story, though, was not why I was so excited about the book. You just knew that Hunter and Ross were going to butt heads when they met up. As much as neither wanted to admit it, they are so much alike: obstinate, strong-willed and generally morose. And on the opposite end are Sam and Andi, the two women who reign them in and make them able to interact with others without causing major conflict. The dialogue between Tori and Cameron was funny and exactly what I expected.
The only disappointment I had was that after the beginning of the story, Casey and Leslie are gone. They have been a big part of the Hunter series and I especially enjoy Casey. I wish there had been more of them in the plot. The end of the book kind of had me wondering if this is the end of each series or if Gerri Hill plans on more novels featuring these characters. I, of course, hope it is the latter.

I really wish there would have been more to the story, as with many Gerri Hill novels chapters can be very short, in this case with as many characters and as hectic of a plot I feel an expansion would be nice, as to avoid any holes or spots that can leave you wanting more. Then again maybe I just want as much from these characters as possible.

Good author, poor book.
Really struggled with this one as I have enjoyed the others in both series. Pity.

Just great. The combination of the two investigation groups is perfect. The story's exciting, the main charakters as allways well developed and known from the other storys.

Filler book.
June 21, 2023
Excellent crossover between the Sullivan and Ross series and the Hunter series!
I loved getting my Tori and Sam fix, as well as, my Andy and Cameron fix at the same time. Then the bonus of the Casey and Leslie appearance.
I really enjoyed the interactions between the four MCs. Cameron and Tori are so much a like that they butt heads a lot, but towards the end they have a mutual appreciation for one another and I could totally see them being good friends. Andy and Sam definitely bond through the experience and I have a feeling they will remain in contact with one another and have a lasting friendship.
We get to see a lot of Sam in this book which I really enjoyed. This book is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for her. Angel has done terrible things, but he’s not like Hill’s usual villains. Through Sam’s captivity and interactions with him, you get to know his nature and history. You learn the things that drove him to do what he did. I couldn’t help but to feel for him, even though I couldn’t forgive the things he’s done.
I like the way things ended. Tori and Sam return home, where Tori has decided to return to the job and camaraderie she’s been missing. Plus more time for her and Sam. Cameron and Andy discuss taking action in retiring from the FBI and traveling and living life without the horrors and death they have to experience with the job. Love these characters and it makes my heart happy to see them happy.
Very well done!

Another winner by Gerri Hill. She packs a lot in this book with three of her popular couples-- Tori and Sam (Hunter's Way), Casey and Leslie (Partners), Cameron and Andrea (Devil's Rock). Sam is kidnapped by a serial killer who appears to have no conscience -- but does he? Tori is understandably going crazy and Cameron is the only one who can track this guy through the woods because she knows him. The story plays to the author's strengths, which is her ability to explore the depth of complex relationships how we interconnect as lovers and friends.
The only thing that keeps me from giving this book a resounding five stars is that I reserve those for her sweet romances that I rate among the very top of the very crowded genre of lesbian romance.

This was beautiful!!! I even liked Angel. Poor guy. At least he didn't die like his family. Though killing those innocent people, Tori and Cameroon, hahahah… I can't even. I liked them. I wish Sam had said about Tori's jumping from a building and some guy following her. But hey, It was a lovely moment.
July 2, 2018
I enjoyed really. Just...Sam was like a therapist. Andrea too. Tori has simply been freaked out. Cameron act like a macho man. Is this the last one? Ohh

This series just got increasingly boring each book. In each book most of the conversations and speculating that takes place amounts to nothing. I get that that is more realistic however, it does not make for a good book especially when the book is meant to be entertaining not educational.
I also hated the whole cross over thing. It is so arrogant to expect your readers to read every book and series you publish. I’m sure many people (like me) just wanted to know if Patrick Doe ever got captured and instead learned that his death takes place in a totally different series. I haven’t read the other series that crosses with the hunter series in this book so most of the characters and references flew over my head. It was especially annoying because a lot of the book takes place from Cameron’s point of view so this book doesn’t really fit in with the series.
The author also continues her poor skills with the passage of time. The several year jump between this book and the 3rd book in the series was barely mentioned.
One other thing that irritates me is the over population of lesbians in this book universe. It is totally plausible for 2 coworkers to be lesbians and subsequently start dating. However that becomes less likely when there are only 8 total people you work with (3 pairs of detectives, the captain, the front desk guy). It is already (unfortunately) uncommon for women to be homicide detectives in the first place but now in this universe there have been 4 in one office and all of them are gay (plus Melissa, and the ME). Other than Amy I can’t think of any named straight female characters in this whole book series. I’m not saying that it would be bad to have so many women who are all gay in one department of law enforcement. However it is so statistically unlikely that it just makes the whole series seem ridiculous. Any case would be easy to solve if you could bend real life likely hood like this. I think the author could write better, more believable stories if each couple were in a different universe or had different professions.

Gerri Hill has taken the Hunter series (Hunters Way, In the Name of the Father, Partners) and added in Sullivan and Ross from Devils Rock and Hell’s Highway. What could possibly go wrong? Well apart from the fact that once again it is poor Sam who is abducted and Tori is fit to be tied, putting Tori Hunter and Cameron Ross in the same state seems like an incendiary idea.
Sure enough Hunter and Ross are so alike they hate each other on sight. Both used to being top dog, both used to doing things their own way, it is only the calming influence of Andrea Sullivan that gets them through the hunt for ex-special-ops sniper Angel.
The combination of characters, couples and skills is a great fun read and Gerri Hill fans will be overjoyed. At the same time it works as a stand alone, and late-comers should not be put off if they haven’t read the series, though they will no doubt want to correct their mistake within the first few pages.
This is a great action adventure. A humorous poke at butch fire lighting skills leads to a horrendous scene of carnage, a chase across the New Mexico mountains and from there to murder and mayhem as Angel leads our heroines, and the local PD, on a dance of death. More twists and turns than Houdini will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Gerri Hill writes good books. The plots are solid and well planned. The characters have depth and integrity. The relationships are realistic and recognizable. These are women we would like to know and, while she does specialize in the tough stand-offish butch being softened by the more womanly femme, Ms Hill finds enough variety of type and situation to keep us interested.
Combining the Hunter and Devils Rock series leads to all sorts of possibilities for the future and will no doubt keep her many fans clamoring for more. Whether combined or separate Gerri Hill will no doubt keep us entertained whatever she comes up with next.

I probably would have gone 2.5 if I could have. There was just too much repetition of the same information regarding the couples involved. I read the same information numerous times as it was being relayed to various characters.
The couples also felt like they could have been clones of each other - a danger when combining protagonists from two different series when they're pretty much the same people.
Ultimately, I wish there had been more about the crime. And a more believable bad guy.
I'll definitely stick to reading Hill's stand-alone romances.

Fans of Gerri Hill's books would really like this book. I definitely do. Took me only a few hours to read - it's quite hard to put down. Cameron and Andrea meets Tori and Sam, with a brief cameo by Casey and Leslie, when Sam was taken hostage by a fugitive while on vacation in New Mexico. Said fugitive turns out to be Cam's ex-military teammate. Love the characters and how they interact, as they're all familiar from previous books. Love that the relationships are still going strong. Action, humour, and romance - all in one cracking good book.

I enjoyed this one, but after the parts 1-3 of the series I had thought this one would include a little more romance. This did not really happen, instead it had more of a police story, and even though I liked the character of Angel, I found him not always convincing. It is not the way he dealt with Sam, but more about the initial killing spree on the one hand, the planning of all that follows and the way Angel is shown in the end.
However, if you like Gerri Hill, you could still give Angel Fire a try. I for one just love the lively style she is able to use. :) 3 out of 5 stars.

Good interactions between the main characters, I kept getting confused in who was who and how they were connected to the others. The only one I ever 100% remembered was Sam... Anyway, I couldn't stop reading, wanted to know how they tracked down the madman. Who would finally find him.

As a big fan off Gerri Hill I can only say this is a must read!!

Angel Fire is a cross over between two different series featuring Tori Hunter and Sam Kennedy with Cameron Ross and Andrea Sullivan.
Tori and Sam are on a camping holiday with their friends, Casey and Leslie. As they are all with law enforcements, they were asked to look into a possible disturbance by local ranger. Cameron and Andrea were called in to assist. The disturbance ended up being a home invasion which leads to a kidnapping, more shooting and a chase through the mountains and forest ...
Will the teams find Angel, an ex-military expert sniper who has turned into a hit man for hire?
I have enjoyed the other series that feature Tori & Sam and Cameron & Andrea separately. I felt it was sometimes hard to keep track of characters, all combined in one book here. I also felt the ending was rushed - I won't reveal any more information without giving away the ending.

Really this story is more of a 3 and a half stars for me. I of course like all the characters but was kind of disappointed that it was not all 6 of the detectives working together. Casey and Leslie need more story than just the quick exit in this book. Angel's character was not as sympathetic as the story was trying to make him. Murdering the family, including the children at the start made it impossible to feel anything but pure disdain for him. He was meat to be wasted. Sam's Stockholm syndrome for him felt way out for character for her too. All in all a decent story but not my favorite for both the Hunter and the Devil's rock series. To me it was a weak way to end both storylines. But that is just my humble opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt. I will definitely be reading both of these series again in the future.

I'm a big fan of both the Tori/Sam and Cameron/Andrea series, so my rating is based mostly on being happy to see them again, and to see them work together.
Once again Sam was made somewhat a weaker character, that needed to be rescued all the time. If I didn't know her I would never guess that she is an experienced cop. Although maybe her strength is really in being able to make the connection with people. And that is what ultimately led to the at the end. I just wish the author gave her a bit more opportunity to show us that she can take care of herself.
Tori/Cameron interactions were great. I loved the main villain too. We were supposed to hate him for killing the family and the policemen, and I couldn't help but sympathize with him.
I hope to read more about these four characters. But if that's it, I'm happy with how everything was wrapped up.
