Paranormal Hunter #4
Dark Flame
If you hunt paranormal creatures for a living, life can get pretty complicated. Just ask demon princess and paranormal hunter, Sonnet Vale.
Sonnet has escaped demon-hell and is now faced with her biggest challenge yet—raising a rapidly growing dragon-shifter in a city full of magic and mayhem.
On top of all that, Phantom City residents are turning up dead, and the fire-breathing murderer is closer to Sonnet than she could've ever imagined, leaving her forced to choose between her heart, and what’s best for her daughter, Poppy Vale.

Once again in Gena D Lutz books. I'm pulled in by her lure of action and twist. A Phenomenal read that pulls at your very core. I could not wait to start this book because Sonnet Vale was one of my favorites so far.
Dark Flame lures you in, intrigues you, turns your world upside down. Just when you think you have it figured out it changes on you. I was so happy to see a deeper glimpse within a different beings in the paranormal world. It's a definite twist when you get dragons, were, vampires and more. It's forbidding, dangerous, yet desirable and luscious. It gets darker and wilder so prepare for a ride!
Sonnet shows you a lot more of her bad ass self but draws you into her net of people she realizes she's connected too. There are secrets she doesn't even know yet of Poppy. Together they embark on an adventure that holds Sonnet on the brink of no existence. The HOT were that Poppy desires does not disappoint! You'll have to read to find out but, it will not disappoint!
The writer flows with her words effortlessly off the pages and is so in depth with characters that you are pulled in and on edge the entire time! Who can you trust? Who do you hate? Who do you love? What is trust in hell? She finds things of her life, her other family that she never knew about her daughter or her daughter never knew. Take a ride in to the deeper much darker world!
This book pulls you in and leaves you on the edge of the seat then at the end what's you with one hell of a cliffhanger making you scramble to grab the next book. It's words flow effortlessly off the page as does any if Gena's books. They'll keep you up for hours soaking in every word like a sponge. Be prepared for a huge book hangover. You'll want to start into the next book right away because as usual this cliffhanger leaves you biting your nails. Way to go Gena! That was one hell of a ride!

This is a paranormal short story. This is the fourth book in the Paranormal Hunter books series. I recommend this for adults only. This is not a stand alone, you have to read the other books first, but it's so worth it... you will not be disappointed! Sonnet never ceases to amaze me, she has been to hell and back but motherhood seems to be her greatest and scariest adventure as of yet... but one she is facing head on. I simply adore Poppy she is her mother's child and is going to keep Sonnet's hands full.
Demon hunting has nothing on motherhood... as Sonnet soon learns. Sonnet's heart is caught in her throat as she has to make some selfless choices. Fire breathers are harsh to say the least and one is one the loose. And this hunter will do anything to keep her loved ones safe. Who would have known the reasons behind all the firebreathers madness? A mothers love knows no boundaries.
Favorite passages?
"He was a handsome devil, with luscious caramel-colored hair that draped in a silky curtain down his back, stopping at waist level."
"A slight breeze carried his crisp, earth-laden, scent to her- it was reminiscent of a cool windy day in the forest."
"So you enjoy love stories that end with death, interestingly morbid in a sad romantic way."
"Let me get this straight. You're telling me that some guy got his weeny roasted at the strip club?"
"The tresses licked the air much like a blazing inferno would do."
"Sonnet's gonna rip my wings clean off me for this. Or give me an a** chewing like I'm a piece of watermelon Hubba Bubba."

This is the 4th book in the Paranormal Hunter Series and it's a short one, which once I started couldn't put down until I finished. Has a lot of action and a surprise.
Sonnet is on a job for the PCPD. There are charred bodies showing up and Sonnet is asked to find out who or what is doing it. She can tell it's a dragon shifter and picks up the scent. She tracks the killer who is a Red Dragon called Maze from the Dark Flame Clan. Maze also happens to be Poppy's mother. There is a good reason for the killings and you will have to read the story for yourself to find out the reason and what happens.
I love this series and Sonnet is one feisty, courageous Paranormal Hunter. I adore her daughter, Poppy, and her Vampire lover, Bane. I can't wait to see what Sonnet gets into next!

I love this series. If you are a pnr fan...and I am, this is a great series. I really love this storyline and each book is about her as a paranormal hunter and learning a little bit more about herself and where she comes from. You never have to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get answers. I also love that as a hunter her boyfriend is a vampire that adores her...totally added Bane to my BBC. They are consistent throughout the series, which I also love, no annoying couple drama for them, which I also love and appreciate. It was an instant attraction for them...he wanted her and knew she was the one, which I also loved. Just an all around great series....new pnr addiction.

This is book 4 in the Paranormal Hunter Series. I fell in love with the characters in this story from book 1 and I continue loving the new ones. This series is a must read, you just never know what Sonnet and her crew will get into next. This series just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend this read.

Love this series!
This is an awesome book with a HFN ending. Each book can be read as stand alone stories but I recommend reading them in order. Sonnet is one kick ass hunter and a great first time mom. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is my favorite series by Gena. I love Sonnet Vales stories. She's a tough lady but in this one she has to choose between what's best for her daughter

Oh Poppy! I would love to read more into her and Quinn. I enjoyed reading about these characters and finding out what the new case was. Once again a great paranormal.

Dragon fire burns and heals
Who knew dragons grow up so fast! I still love the dragons in this series but I kind of wish we had little Poppy for longer. That being said I understand why she grew up so fast for the story and like the direction it went in. Sonnet and Bane sound like every other parents in the world more than once and we learn a lot about Poppy background which was a mystery in the last book. But the way this one ended tells me that another is on the way and I can't wait to see Sonnet Vale hunt down the bad guy again because this one definitely deserve it.

Another short, but fun read. This time Sonnet is getting used to being a mother of a rapidly growing and developing dragon shifter, but when another one appears in Phantom City her first instinct is to protect her daughter!
I really enjoyed this series, just a shame there are no more books as yet. Sonnet is a great character to read about and I love her relationship with Bane and with Remy too.

Dark Flame (Paranormal Hunter Book 4) by Gena D. Lutz
***I was given an advanced reading copy of this book in return for an
honest review***
It is one year since Sonnet was in Demon Hell and became a mother to
dragon Poppy. Poppy is now a teenager in dragon years.
In Phantom City there have been two wolves and a vampire burned by
dragon fire (the vampire lived). While investigating the dragon who killed
the wolves she not only finds her but is is burned.
Maze who is the dragon who Sonnet is tracking. Maze is also Poppy's
mother and they are from the Dark Flame clan.
Gena D Lutz as done it again. I was riveted to the book from the first
page to the last. And yes I kept trying to go to the next chapter but alas
their was none. I can not wait to see what happens next. I am loving this
series.

I so enjoy this series. This one is more personal in nature as it has to do with her role as a mom to a dragon shifter. It brings danger to her heart and body. It is a short read and I always enjoy spending time with the characters. I can't wait for the next one.
I received a copy in return for a honest review.
