Viktor. Vampire. Part-time bounty hunter. 370 years old.
After being given an offer he definitely could refuse twenty years ago, the vampire found himself the target of a very vindictive billionaire, determined to make his undead life unbearable. Meaning, that after centuries of loneliness when he finally finds his true mate he can’t even claim her, and make her his for fear of the consequences.

Alma Flores. Witch. Office manager. No way is she giving up her real age; let’s just say 29.
The witch has spent the last four years of her life hanging onto stolen moments with a true mate who refuses to claim her, and she has had it! One way or another her mate will claim her and soon, whether he damn well likes it or not!

But, when a friend of Viktor’s and the vampire member of the Council of Supernaturals, is arrested for murder and promptly disappears, Viktor has more than trying to keep his stubborn mate alive to worry about. Viktor, with a tenacious Alma in tow, sets out to find his friend, prove his innocence and work out just what the heck is going on, whilst hopefully figuring out a way to claim his maddening mate.

Please note this novella is approximately 43,000 words in length (short and sweet! Alright, maybe not that sweet…)

But I do advise caution! It does contain swearing (there’s a lot of use of the f word!), as well as scenes of a sexual nature with m/f interaction intended for mature readers.

Also included with this novella is a short story called: Foxy On The Hunt, a follow up to book one. The short story, along with others from my other series of books is also published online.

Book 2 in series

Different take in this book in that thebsigniture couple have already met and been together for a number of years in hiding. To prevent alma from getting hurt by a vindictive terminally ill codger who tried to convince victor ( part time bounty hunter ) into turning him.
Fast forward and victors friend Julian is being framed for a double murder... when victors blood brother is found to involved, victor and alma team up to set things right. Whilst deciding they have had enough hiding their relationship.

Now I love e a price and this book was great but I really wanted victor and Alma’s earlier story!

Dead Man Running was incredibly enjoyable. While it is a standalone, there is glimpses (plus a short story at the end) which would be much more enjoyable if you have read the first book. Viktor and Alma were such a fun couple. They had crazy chemistry and I loved their story. There was action, humour and plenty of steamy moments in this book. It was a quick read, however it was a complete story and it left me with a happy feeling. A must read for fans of this series, or paranormal fans who love some good banter, laughs and mystery. Well done!

Supernatural Bounty Hunters - Book 2 - Dead Man Running - Elizabeth Ann Price

This is the second book in the Supernatural Bounty Hunters series and it was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Viktor Kozlov us a 370 year old vampire who works occasionally as a Bounty hunter for his close friend Marcus Blau the owner of the bail bonds business. Whilst there he was fortunate enough to meet his true mate Alma Flores a Latin witch who is full of sass, sugar and spice she is a great character that had me laughing out loud. Due to a situation in his past Viktor doesn't feel it is safe to claim Alma as his mate as he wants to for fear of her safety but while trying to help his friend another vampire prove his innocence Alma sets out to prove to her mate what a tough cookie she really is. This book is filled with all the feel food moments I expect from this author, sassy one liners, laugh out loud moments. Lots of heat and romance, action and some twists along the way, everything you could hope for in a great story. Happy Reading!

Vamp and Witch ... Second chance?

I love thwarted live stories. Alma and Viktor put a unique spin on a great theme. As mates, they are kept apart from an action in Viktor's past. It causes a fair amount of tension in their lives. A quick fun read!

I have to say this plot was very suspenseful. Not one of my favorites in series but it is well-written.

Second book of the series Supernatural bounty hunters

Viktor is a 350 year old vampire who occasionally works for the Bounty Hunter agency. Alma is a witch Karma who works at the receptionist at the agency and she's in love with Viktor. A friend of Viktor was arrested for killing two young ladies oh, but he doesn't remember them.

Viktor and Alma investigate who actually killed those two young ladies. They solve the mystery but they were captured and wound up in Chains. Will they ever escaped?

As you can see the characters are unusual and sexy. However, an unique thing about them where they were lovers and mates for four years, why couldn't bond because a human it determined to destroy anyone that Viktor. A plot is funny because they solved it by being captured and rescuing themselves. There are many scenario which is hilarious a bit being sometimes scary.

I would highly recommend it. Be warned this book has many sexy scenarios.

I enjoyed this supernatural bounty hunter series, especially the relationship between the two leads AND all the different kinds of shifters who make up the bounty hunter office (wolf, snake, polar bear, fox, etc) and the book's universe (dolphin, badger, pink flamingo etc). Obviously, there's humor in this one, especially between the two leads: Alma, a witch, and Viktor, a vampire, who have been hiding their relationship for four years due to an enemy of his. I stumbled on E. A. Price because of (ironically) the price of her previous shifter series - both series are well worth reading, and this series is much better edited than the last. She is only becoming a stronger writer as she puts out more books.

Not my favorite of hers. I really don't know what it was but this was really difficult for me to read took me a long time. Maybe because it sort of started that they had already found each other and had sort of a relationship and I felt cheated. I liked the first book way better. Just couldn't get into this.

I really liked the first one in this series but I loved this one. Storyline was intriguing from the start. It was entertaining, had humor, suspenseful and sexy. I enjoyed the fact there wasn't an overkill on the vampire theme. Loved the characters.

Awesome book

Just loved it; I really like shifter romance but vampires are my favorite. You just get lost in the series. I have laughed, cried, and just couldn't put it down. Once you start reading, you're hooked. Anxious to start reading book three.

A bewitching time

The second book in the bounty hunters series is the story of Vicktor (vampire) and Alma (witch). Again Ms Price delivers a story that keeps you entertained and always wanting more. If you are a fan of any of her works, definitely check this one out.

Not a favorite of mine in the series, but still great. I loved her sassyness and how she tricked him into thinking no one was able to help him with his issue. I laughed like crazy and her quips and his reactions to them. Still great.

Good read

Like the others I enjoyed this book. I love that there is a storyline mixed with humorous antics, not so perfect heroines and love not to mention the steamy sex.

Council of supernaturals, witches and of course vampires! Cute, fun, sexual content, and profanity. Not bad for a novella!
