I received an ARC of Rune Hunter by Amelia Wilson and J. A. Cummings in exchange for an honest review. Rune Hunter is the third title in Wilson's Rune Series, but the first to incorporate a coauthor. This series is a paranormal romance that incorporates elements of Norse mythology, vampires, faeries, witches, werewolves, and many other supernatural beings. The previous stories in the series detail the meeting, relational development, hardships, obstacles, and extraordinary abilities of Nika Graves and Erik Thorvald. This third installment in the series is a continuation of the building love story and ensuing hardships that fall upon the couple as they continue their love and life together within the mortal and immortal realms in which they live.
Readers of Amelia Wilson's work will recognize much of this story as akin to her particular style. Most of her stories contain many of the same elements of soulmates, the power of love to overcome all obstacles, and the intermingling and clash of supernatural creatures within one realm all compiled into a quick-paced, easy read.
I was, however, somewhat disappointed at the drastic differences in this new title in comparison to the first two titles in the Rune Series. I have read almost all of Amelia Wilson's previously released titles (Rune Series, Wicked Vampire Series, A Vampire in Disguise Series, and the only released title of the Cursed Angel Series), and as such am very familiar with her writing. I am not, however, familiar with the writings of the coauthor J. A. Cummings, and I believe it is the incorporation of the coauthor into the new title that effected such noticeable changes.
This series was much heavier on the romance and incorporated more explicit sexual content than any of Wilson's other titles. I am not sensitive to this subject matter, nor am I easily offended, so the incorporation of this sexual content didn't bother me, though it did seem out of place to incorporate it so much more into the third title of a series when it wasn't so present in the previous two books. Also, many of her other series books seem to pick up right where the last title left off. This one, however, seems to have some time progression between the end of book two (Rune Master) and this third book. As such, there seemed to be some missing content in the story line that I felt could have been more deeply elaborated in the beginning of this book. As well, this title introduced a plethora of new mythical and magical creatures that were not present in the first two books, and many of which are not featured in any of her other titles. There was very little description and development of these newly-introduced creatures, some of which I had never experienced in any other context before, and so had trouble figuring out their powers, abilities, places in the supernatural hierarchy, and importance to the overall story. I would have liked to have a bit more explanatory narrative on these new creatures to have a better grasp of the full development of this world. Finally, the ending of the novel felt rushed and inauthentic to the characters. Throughout the series, Nika and Erik work together to maintain unity and cohesion among both human and supernatural creatures, ensuring that no one person or species overpowers or oppresses any others. Without revealing spoilers about the ending of this book, it will suffice to say that the moral compass of Nika and Erik seems to shift slightly at the conclusion of the book which presented itself more like a digression from their previous character development.
Overall, the story is compelling and reads quickly. It is entertaining and provides a paranormal, romantic, escapist story line for readers who prefer this genre. It was not, however, what I expected of the title. I am hoping that the fourth installment in the series will clarify or clear up some of these seeming incongruities and continue to look forward to Wilson's future work.

This is the third book in the Runes series. I have read the two previous books and have enjoyed the story. I just can't let it pass to not read the next installment in the series.
Rune Hunter continues the adventures of Nika Graves and Erik Thorvald. This time, more enemies are coming forward bent on destroying both of them. Betrayal seems to be the theme song of these two love birds. A song that keeps playing on a loop.
New creatures and characters were introduced in this book. A dark and savage history of Erik also came to light. People from Erik's past are getting out of the shadows to seek revenge on Erik. A vendetta that is years in the making. Nika will also discover new powers and strength that she didn't know she had. A new ability will come in very handy in aiding in their quest to stop the on set of a war that will destroy the humans and all the Draugr.
I think this book is just so-so. There were some good scenes and good revelations but all in all, it was not as absorbing as the first two books. I think the part where Erik and Nika met with the First Draugr was too easy. I expected the scene to be chaotic and the rest of the Draugr would put up a very hard fight. I think it was a bit anti-climatic for the scene to just turn out so peachy.
I give the book 3/5 stars. Yes, I appreciate that it still ended well for our two heroes and the war was quelled before it hurt a lot of people. But still, I wished that this book had packed more ammunition and bang. I wished I was stunned but was not. Maybe, in the next book, if there is one since it hinted that it was not all over yet. I hope the next book will be so surprising and unexpected that I will fall off my seat.
Such a slippery slope. You fall and never realize it until you're at the bottom of the hill.

Thank you again, Amelia Wilson for the ARC.

Book three of the series certainly keeps your interest all the way through. Lots of twists and turns, treachery, tangled family issues, all leading to a possible war. Nika and Eric are becoming closer to each other as they overcome outside threats. This series just gets better the more you read. Once again, hard to put down.
I purchased the box set of this series and decided to leave a review for the single books as well.

The story continues to get more complex and fascinating with every new new book added to the series. Nika's powers continue to grow. Erik's confusing family dynamic gets more tangled. And the threats to their existence get bigger and less likely to be overcome. I really enjoy where where this series takes me.

It's okay
There were three books in this one. The first book was the best. The second was not so good and the third was just okay.

Nika and Erik have been through so much to be together, it's a shock that they have managed this long. But when Eriks past comes to haunt him, things get rough

Unfortunately, this book by Amelia Wilson turned out to be similar to the previous installments in this series.
It was a tad bit better than the other books based on grammatical errors, but failed to incorporate a basis for connecting the reader to the characters. Once again, feeling much like it was narrated. It includes points of views from other characters other than the two main leads, though it gives you a disconnected feeling. The inclusion fails.
The book ends before reaching 40% on my Kindle and, of course, moves on to other books by the same author.
Amelia Wilson would truly benefit from a better proofreader and/or editor.
The book's storyline hold great promise and the dynamics of information added to support creativity can leave you confused. Rather annoyed when it becomes contradicting or repetitive.
Once again, this is a story I am eager to see where it goes, though I struggle with the writing style and grammatical mistakes. I would not recommend this series to others and would suggest putting these three books so far into one to provide more substance.
At this stage I do understand that breaking them down this way allows the author and publisher more profit and falsely leads the reader into believing they have purchased more than they have received.
Not a fan.
