Hunter Legacy #2
Hour of Darkness
Born and raised as an assassin in the notorious Hunter program, Breed vampire Cain has since put his skills to use as a mercenary willing to clean up any problem for a price. Or so he thought. After a job in Las Vegas strains even his dubious code of honor, Cain pulls up stakes and lands in Miami for a much-needed break. All he wants is time away to clear his head and regroup, but then a beautiful young woman is nearly killed in front of his eyes and the ruthless former Hunter becomes the only thing standing between her and a sniper's bullet. Marina Moretskova is no stranger to dangerous men. As the niece of a Russian organized crime boss, she's grown up around killers and criminals. But her uncle wants out now, and he's enlisted Marina's help in buying his freedom by delivering valuable intel to a secret contact in exchange for protection. Not even Marina's bodyguards are aware of her mission, so when an attempt on her life is averted by a handsome, steely-eyed vampire, as grateful as she is for Cain's intervention, the last thing she needs is the shrewd Breed male nosing around for answers. Cain's cold, haunted gaze and merciless abilities attest to his brutal nature, yet the rough, solitary Hunter stirs a powerful longing in Marina that she can neither afford nor resist . . . Contains mature themes.

New Hunter Legacy book!
Cain and Marina
“Let’s get something straight, Marina Moretskova. I may have saved your life back at the hotel, but that does not mean I won’t dump you out of this car right here and now. I don’t need your problems. I’m sure as hell not the kind of man you want to play games with or try to bullshit.”
“I know what kind of man you are, Cain Hunter.”
We met Cain in the Born of Darkness
He was the head security team of a casino and he did not seem to be a nice Breed.
Cain will leave Las Vegas and he will arrive in Miami in order to have a short break and think of his future. There he will meet and save Marina, the niece of a Russian criminal lord. He will save her two times and then he will discover that he needs to keep saving her because she has the breed-mate mark. So he is obliged to look after her.
“I was born with the mark. The teardrop-and-crescent-moon birthmark.”
Chased initially by assassins, traitors and criminals and later on even by JUSTIS, Cain will bring Marina to the only place he has ever considered a home. The Darkhaven where he used to live after his collar removal and from which he run away 8 years ago.
Bram and his mate Lana,
Razor,
Logan
...will welcome Cain back. His room has remained untouched waiting for him.
Knox on this other hand still wants to kill him after failing saving his old girlfriend for whom they had both feelings.
“Cain, Bram, Knox, Razor, Logan. This has been their only true home since they escaped their collars.”
Marina used to avoid Breeds. She used to live an isolated lonely life where Breeds had no place. Her beloved uncle convinced her to cover her mark with a tattoo and he always described Breeds with the worst details. They are dangerous blood-sucking creatures who will use Marina like her mother.
Now she is surrounded by Breeds and she has never felt safer in her life. Her uncle has sent her to a suicide mission and she has started questioning his motives.
“Hundreds of lives at stake. All because of this bitch and her uncle. She’s not worth even one of them.”
Cain does not want any more complications in his life, but he truly wants Marina. He will not hesitate to go back to Russia with her in order to protect her.
Another great addition to the Breed universe with a strong storyline and amazing characters. Cain and Marina are scorching hot together and new interesting characters are also added to the plot (Cain's half brothers) who obviously will have their story told soon.
I can never have enough of this world!

4.5 Hunter Stars!
Cain Hunter has been adrift since leaving Las Vegas several months earlier. He’s restless. He’s bored. He desperately needs to find something to occupy his time and just as he decides to leave Miami he saves the life of a beautiful women who turns out to be a breedmate, now he vows to insure her safety since she is still the target of a powerful organization.
Marina is a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman who’s in Miami on business for her uncle. She was to meet a contact to take down the head of the Russian mob and free her beloved uncle from the organization he is tied to. However, the plan she and her uncle devised didn’t go as planned.
The chemistry between Cain and Marina was absolutely scorching! We’re introduced to some intriguing secondary characters and through them we see the real Cain...before his guilt took over. Now I’m eagerly awaiting more Hunter Legacy books!!

I love being in the Breed's world. This spin off series is so good. I enjoy see others of the species outside The Order. Two good main characters and a very interesting plot. Can't wait for the next one. Happy reading!

Lara Adrian has always been one of my all time favourite authors and nothing has changed, I can't see that ever changing.
The Midnight Breed series is amazing, a series of sexy vampires and their Breed Mates and as the series progressed, the characters became a part of every page. When the Hunter Legacy began, I wondered if I'd like it as much as its predecessors and I have to happily say that it is just as good and a fantastic continuation.
Hour of Darkness is about Cain and Marina and how their lives came together. Much the same as other books, how the couples become a couple. Cain and Marina are a brilliant together and this story has lead me wanting to know more about Knox, I'm sure Ms Adrian has something in store for us there.
A fab addition to the series, one that is as much a part of my heart as the rest. I am excited to read more about the Hunters!

Cain (introduced in book 1) is a cold-blooded Hunter who takes what he needs, but keeps his heart firmly closed, but when he finds himself saving the life of Marina Moretskova, his attempts to keep a distance are quickly scuppered. But rescuing her once won’t end the danger to Marina, she has the Russian mob dodging her footsteps, ans she holds close, information more dangerous than she knows.
The heat and tension were heightened in this one wonderfully, the chemistry between the main characters emanates of the pages with a sizzle. Marina is a strong heroine - determined and fierce. Found myself seriously engaged in the plot and emotions of the main characters, especially in the latter half of the book.

Cain whose sense of honor despite his upbringing uproots himself from Las Vegas and moves to Miami, Florida. Cain a vampire breed who was born and raised as an assassin in the notorious Hunter program. He is longing for peace when he encounters Marina Moretskova as someone attempts to kill her. Marina is the niece of a Russian organized crime boss, who wants out of the business and has enlisted her to complete a mission that will buy his freedom. The last thing she needs is Cain, an overprotective Breed coming to her aid. The tale that unfolded was sexy, action-packed and full of feels.
We quickly discover Marina is a bloodmate and this complicates things for Cain. The two have undeniable chemistry and as much as Marina protests she doesn't need protecting, its quickly apparent she does. Cain is a trained killer, but there is this softer, pained side of him that will appeal to listeners.
Drama was kept low thanks to the intense suspense, but we see character growth as their relationship deepens. The final stretch of the story was intense as Cain works to save Marina and discovers exactly what losing her would mean.
Roger Wagner narrated again and I loved his performance for Cain. He captured all sides of his personality which enhanced the story. His pacing is well done, however this story was told with dual POVs and I was not a fan of Mariana's voice and accent. It felt forced and awkward. Thankfully it wasn't enough to hamper my enjoyment of the listen, but lets hope there are no more Russians in the series. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

Hour of Darkness is the second book in Lara Adrian's Hunter Legacy series but these books have all specifically been written to work as standalone stories so you can read them in any order. If you did read Born of Darkness then you'll recognise Caine as the Breed Hunter who was working in the casino and who had made more than a few questionable choices before he came through and helped Asher and Naomi in the end. He's the only character we've met previously though and through him we get to meet a whole new group of Gen One Breed males who survived the Hunter program.
Caine has been living in Miami since leaving Las Vegas trying to decide what direction he wants his life to take now, he's not happy with the things he did for money recently and is trying to clear his head. He gets pulled into Marina's orbit when she is nearly assassinated right in front of him. Caine can't just sit back and watch her die but when he realises she's a Breedmate he knows he has to help her find safety.
Marina's uncle is part of the Russian mafia but she has finally convinced him to change his ways and leave the criminal underworld behind him. She has travelled to America to bring valuable information to his contact and help buy their freedom. Unfortunately for her someone seems determined to stop her mission, and they don't care if murdering her is the only way to do it. Caine is the only person she can trust to help keep her safe but she's determined to do what she came to do and meet with her uncle's contact.
I'm really enjoying the Hunter Legacy series, so far it's been great getting to meet some of the Hunters who were raised in a lab by a madman and I loved meeting Caine and the brothers who he is closest to. There is a small group of them who created a home and a family and although Caine has kept himself apart from them for the last few years they welcomed him back with open arms and made space for Marina in their little family. It kind of reminded me of the very early days of the Midnight Breed series when most of the members of the Order hadn't paired off yet and I'm really hoping that all of these characters are going to get books soon! The romance was just what I look for in a Lara Adrian book, Caine was tough as nails on the outside with a warm gooey centre, Marina was strong, confident and knew exactly what she wanted, they had brilliant chemistry from the beginning but their romance took time to develop and there was plenty of action too. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

*~* I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book *~*
Lara worked her magic once again! I'm currently at work looking like a zombie due to lack of sleep, I just couldn't put it down!
I absoluting LOVED HoD, Cain was exactly as I envisioned him. He has the tough ass Hunter exterior but a total softy in the middle **dreamy sigh**.
Marina is a very strong woman, who has faced massive loss and clings to who she has left.
We learn that Cain has a heavy guilt within him, and it takes Marina to stand strong and help him.
For Marina, who has very very limited family, it takes Cain to overcome his relationship woes to show her that family doesn't have to be through blood.
The chemistry between Cain and Marina was absolutely scorching! C&M were backed up by an amazing introduction to some secondary characters. Through them we see Cain as he was, before his guilt took over.
So I'm eagerly awaiting for Knox (who reminds me a little of Teagan) and Raze the Hunter Hacker and internet stalker lol, his story has me intrigued and who is this mysterious person **hmmm**
Cannot recommend this series enough! Actually all of Lara's work is superb, and if you haven't read her yet WHAT AR YOU WAITING FOR!?!

Cain Hunter is one of Dragos "Hunter Vampires". Dragos stole and abused Breedmates and had them become pregnant with a Original Pure Vampire. The children of and Pure 100% Original Vampire would become Gen One vampires. Dragos had created his own army Hunter Gen Ones. Until the Order killed him and set the 100% Pure Vampire free.
Cain"s talent is precognition. He is standing on his balcony at a Miami hotel when he sees vision of the women in the pool being shot in the head and dying. Cain jumps into action and saves her just in the nick of time.
Marina Moretskova is in Miami to barter a deal with a Mafia Crime Lord for her uncle Anatoly Moretskova a Russian Mafia Crime Lord. Someone is trying to kill her before she can get the information she carries to her contact. Marina believes the information and money she carries is to get her and her uncle free from under the Russian Mafia.
After a second attempt in one night to kill Marina Cain takes her to his brothers Darkhaven. They start to have feelings for one another. This leads them to a hot sexy sensuous love making. Cain and Marina have lots of sex.
The story has a few surprises that you will figure out before they happen. You will suspect who is sending the assassin and how Marina is begin duped.
I wish the author had ended with another couple Lana and Bram having there baby. Lana was in her last weeks of pregnancy. I also, would have liked Bram, Logan, Knox and Raze to have been incorporated more into the storyline. They had no real meaning to the story. If you are not going to follow through with characters storyline. I feel like you shouldn't write them in the story..

I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I have such bad memory at times that when I started reading this book I couldn't really remember much about the previous book in this spin off series. What's great about Lara Adrian's writing is that she can deliver a fully standalone story even as it's part of a much bigger world. So if you are just jumping into this series, feel free to do that with this one. That being said, I've always been excited about reading more about the Hunters. This story is about Cain Hunter. He was working as a security (and everything it entails) for a Vegas mobster. He decided to leave that life behind and is in Miami trying to figure out his next step when his path crosses with a woman. He sees a vision of her death and is able to act on it and prevent it. From there is all about keeping her alive as she tries to buy her way out of the Russian mob.
HOUR OF DARKNESS was engaging and action packed all the way through. It's a fast paced read with great characters and explosive chemistry. Not only the main protagonists but the whole group of Hunters in the Everglades. I'm anxious to see more of them in the future books and get to see their HEAs. But back to Cain and Marina. They had great chemistry and while their love develops quite fast, it made sense for me as they are in very intense situations. I never doubted their feelings and I also thought they were perfect together. Cain still needed to heal from things in his past and that not only involved himself but the rest of his Hunter brothers. I wanted to see a little more of that, but I still found what we got satisfying.
Lara Adrian makes me fall in love with her worlds and characters every time, this was no different. She manages to make each book interesting and different while having all the elements that I've come to expect in her writing. To achieve that without feeling repetitive is no easy feat and I think she does that really well. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!

I gotta say I was quite disappointed with this one. First, I didn't like the hero, almost right from the start, and second the story line and the whole interaction felt predicted, you know this pattern and you've read it in too many PNR books. I don't read as many PNR as I used to these days, mostly stick to Contemporary so many that's part of my problem. Big-ass-bad-Vampire, moody, arrogant, killing-machine, alpha, aggressive, over-protective, knows what's best for the heroine. You've met "him" SO MANY TIMES, especially with being hurt in the past so doesn't want to get near the female to protect his heart. I wish this was somehow different but it was SO Predictable I was just bored when I wasn't annoyed with his over bearing behavior.
Marina Moretskova is the niece of a mob boss, or rather the one who enables one of the worst mob bosses in Russia (and outside of it). Finally accepting her request to leave this world he gives her an assignment to make them both free. Deliver money and a disc full of knowledge of the one he will need protecting from (once he's out) and so she flies to the USA to make the deal. Things don't turn out as she expected when she is almost killed TWICE and been betrayed in the process. Her savior is a Breed Male she have never even met before - Cain Hunter. She isn't a very trusting person and Cain is Breed and if there is one thing other than trust no one her uncle have always drilled into her is never trust these blood sucking monsters.. Yet he is the only one left standing so she goes with him... (and becomes his prisoner...)
We've met Cain Hunter in the previous installment. He was the "bad guy" who made the right decision in the very end. Leaving Las Vegas to Miami was his way of turning a different page. When he sees a premonition (that's his breed ability) of a woman's death, one he was starting at swimming at the pool directly bellow him as he was standing in his hotel room's balcony he literally jumps to her rescue. He finds a very vibrant, strong willed woman who can handle herself VERY well, yet now she does need help and not even sure why he helps her out but once he sees she is a bridesmate the deal is done. As I've already described in the first paragraph the kind of Male he is, he basically made her his prisoner in his house, or rather the house he used to share with other Hunters who were rescued from the Hunter program 20 years ago. Being there brings up too many memories, ones he misses and others he wants to bury but his main problem is making sure Marina is safe and also trying to avoid her - her beautiful seductive body and strong willed personality he can't help but crave.
I LOVED Marina, she was GREAT. What a woman, she was the perfect heroine. So full of life, and energy, she knew what she wanted and she was working her damn best to make it happen even if she had the annoying vampire imprisoning her and demanding total and absolute honestly which she had NO reason to give. They knew each other for a day, why would she trust him and especially when he was behaving like a jailer preventing her from leaving or making any act on her own. What's is it to him? He also had a VERY bad opinion of her uncle and couldn't hold his opinion to himself. He was all about CONTROLLING Marina. It was pretty disgusting. I didn't see why she was attracted to him AT ALL.
Frankly, I expected to much more from Lara.

As I've already described in the first paragraph the kind of Male he is, he basically made her his prisoner in his house, or rather the house he used to share with other Hunters who were rescued from the Hunter program 20 years ago. Being there brings up too many memories, ones he misses and others he wants to bury but his main problem is making sure Marina is safe and also trying to avoid her - her beautiful seductive body and strong willed personality he can't help but crave.
I LOVED Marina, she was GREAT. What a woman, she was the perfect heroine. So full of life, and energy, she knew what she wanted and she was working her damn best to make it happen even if she had the annoying vampire imprisoning her and demanding total and absolute honestly which she had NO reason to give. They knew each other for a day, why would she trust him and especially when he was behaving like a jailer preventing her from leaving or making any act on her own. What's is it to him? He also had a VERY bad opinion of her uncle and couldn't hold his opinion to himself. He was all about CONTROLLING Marina. It was pretty disgusting. I didn't see why she was attracted to him AT ALL.
Frankly, I expected to much more from Lara.

This book was pretty predictable with what I've come to expect from the Breed series and this spin off series. Cain, a bit grumpy, on the outs with his family, or so he thinks, they all have been missing him. Marina, a breedmate, who needs help. The only question is who is after Marina. I really thought I knew who the bad guy was, instead I was pleasantly surprised, glad that Marina is a good person and she protected those that needed it. I also loved that Cain talked to Marina about why he thought he was on the outs with his family, it allowed her to maybe heal a rift between Cain and Knox. While it didn't happen in this book, you can see where it might down the line.

4.5 stars!
A fast-moving, exciting, suspenseful and romantic PNR read, I loved this one!
This is the second book in the Hunter Legacy series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. Cain was introduced in the first book of this series, Born of Darkness, but I honestly could not remember him at all, and I was able to pick up this story and get completely caught up in all of the action and excitement with no problems at all.
Cain is a member of the Breed, a vampire known as a Hunter. Cruelly bred in a laboratory to become a lethal, ruthless assassin, he was a prisoner until he and others of his kind were freed from their captivity around 20 years ago. He’s still finding his place in the world, and following a job in Las Vegas that went bad, he has escaped to Miami for some quiet time, but he ends up finding a whole lot of trouble.
Marina is the niece of a Russian banker with ties to the mob. She has travelled to America from St Petersburg to bargain for a way out for the two of them, and she’s carrying a super-sensitive bargaining chip – one that has placed a huge target on her back. A fact that is proven when she is literally snatched from the path of a sniper’s bullet by a mysterious stranger. Though terrified and shaken, she’s immediately drawn to the gorgeous Breed male, but she won’t let anything interfere with her mission so she does her best to keep him out of her business. That’s fine with Cain, who wants nothing to do with her, but when he discovers that she is a Breedmate, one of the rare and chosen few females who are able to mate and produce children with a vampire, he feels honor-bound to protect her at all costs.
And the stage is set for the adventure to come as, despite them both trying to keep their distance, Cain steps in to protect Marina from the multiple dangers that she’s facing. All of that complicated by their wild attraction that stirs all kinds of feelings that neither of them are prepared to deal with.
I love these characters! Marina is a wonderfully strong heroine who is protective of her loved ones. She’s prepared to fight for what she wants, and I loved seeing her prove that over and over throughout the story. And Cain is a perfect blend of emotionally vulnerable alpha badass. His Breed ‘gift’ curses him with the foresight to see people’s deaths before they happen – just not anybody that he’s emotionally attached to, something that he learned the hard way. So though he wants Marina more than he’s wanted anything, in order to protect her, he knows he needs to keep his distance… but we all know how that’s going to go!
The mystery/suspense part of the storyline is fantastic, with twists and turns that keep things interesting and that lead to some great action and excitement!
And, of course, there is the love story which is both gorgeous and sexy as all hell. There’s a strong emotional connection between Cain and Marina which develops really nicely as the story progresses, and I loved watching them fall and fall hard for each other.
We are introduced to Cain’s Hunter brothers, the only family he’s known, and OMG what a fantastic bunch! I love these boys, each so different with their own distinct personalities. I love seeing them all interact together, and I can only hope that we’ll get to revisit with them in this series.
As always, Lara Adrian has delivered a solid read that kept me glued to my kindle from start to finish. It’s exciting and romantic, and full of the PNR action that I love about her books. I loved it.
4.5 stars.

“I wish I was the kind of male who could walk away from you. I wish like hell I had more honor, because despite the mark that should be enough to make me keep my distance – despite the fact that you’re withholding information that might get you killed on my watch - the only thing I can’t seem to do where you’re concerned is walk the fuck away.”

She was extraordinary, and not only because she was the first woman – the only woman – who challenged him on every level. She made him crave something he’d never thought he could have.
A partner.
An equal.
A future where he wasn’t alone.
Fuck. He was in real trouble here.

Series: Hunter Legacy #2
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it
Born and raised an assassin in the Hunter program, Cain has found himself in Miami for a much needed break. Instead he finds himself saving a woman from a sniper and becoming her new bodyguard.
This was another action packed story for the Hunters. Cain’s story was an interesting one because he joined up with other Hunters for a while. I found this fascinating and really loved meeting all his brothers. Cain was a protective alpha male, like all the Breed males are. I liked him for the most part but did get a little bored with his frequent reasons for pushing Marina away.
Marina was a very interesting woman. Her uncle was part of the mob so she has spent her life surrounded by bodyguards. While she is knowledgeable about the evil of the world, she was very naïve about her uncle. She definitely had blinders on when it came to him, which I found surprising after we learned more about her past. But overall I did like her. Also I loved that she was covered in tattoos because she is one of the few female characters in this series, and in the Midnight Breed series, that has had tattoos.
Overall, this was an enjoyable couple and story. I loved learning about the Hunter house and can’t wait to learn more about them.

Cain Hunter durfte man schon kurz im ersten Band der Reihe kennen lernen, doch welche Geschichte hinter ihm steckt lernt man dann erst hier richtig kennen.
Nachdem Cain sein Job in Las Vegas aufgegeben hat um in Ruhe zu überlegen was er als nächstes macht, stolpert er unvermittelt in eine Rettungsmission.
Zwischen Marina und Cain knistert es von Anfang an, doch zugebe mag es gar keiner. Er will ihr nur helfen, denn irgendjemand hat es auf ihr Leben abgesehen.
Spannend gemacht mit den Mafia Hintergrund und um das Geheimnis welches Marina versucht zu beschützen und welches sich als sehr gefährlich herausstellt.
Cain lernt mit Marina eine sehr starke und tapfere Gefährtin kenne, die so schnell nicht aus der Fassung zu bringen ist.
Zwar gab ein paar Aspekte die was vorhersehbar waren aber es gab auch ein paar Überraschungen. Ich lese die Reihe wirklich gerne und bin gespannt welche Hunters man noch kennen lernen wird. Ihre Gemeinschaft hat sehr was vom Orden.

Terrific!
Another terrific Hunter Legacy (Midnight Breed) story. I wasn't sure if I was going to want to read about Cain, but he definitely redeemed himself when he saved Marina! Can't wait for more of this series!

Inexplicably, this book had given me one of the most amazing beginnings of any books! Cain and Marina were so unbelievable together. I could feel right off that she was going to be his perfect Breedmate 💕 She shared what he needed to know so he could keep her safe. No annoying mystery that would've come back to bite them later. Sure, she did keep her important piece of secrets for just a little bit longer. As for Cain . . . he was totally super romantic! Nothing of a born Hunter and an assassin left when he was all in with Marina. He called her
"love"
! Yes! I Loved how it all ended. Here's Cain in the spoiler below.

She has done it again. This book was so good. Lots of action and intrigue. It made me fall in love with the series again. This was the kind of book that made we want to go back and read the series all over again.
Cain is a great hero. Marina his perfect mate. I think the Hunter series is off to a great start.
I received an ARC for my honest review.

Another nice steamy read. I loved the action, the pace, the romance, as well as the new characters. Sure it is pretty much similar kind of characters to the ones in The Midnight Breed Series or even the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but this shows the beauty of how so many can be alike, even have similar lives, but still something different it is shown or born through each individual. After all, we are all different and same in so many ways. I liked the villains and the main story, which had me thinking who is the real bad guy.

I received this book for free from Tantor Audio in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Hour of Darkness by Lara Adrian is book two in the Hunter Legacy series. Each of these hunters from the program disbanded in the Midnight Breed series were left to strike out on their own to live their lives in the world. This is difficult for those hunters as they were raised all their lives until 20 years ago to be assassins.
Cain was in book one as an employee of the villian, but left in the end when things came to a climax. He went in search of peace as I think he was tired of the violence that still plagued his life. He is wandering, and staying in a hotel in Florida. Through his power, he meets Marina and finds himself protecting a Breedmate. He returns to a Darkhaven he left years ago with brothers of the program. I didn't see a lot of the assassin traits left in the brothers. I know they must be there, but these guys seemed like genuine, great guys. I'm wondering if we get stories on all of them.
Helping protect Marina sinks them both into some dangerous situations. We get explosions and lots of action. The romance is steamy too, and you have that whole holding back on the blood thing because of Marina being a Breedmate. The couple endure their differences with Cain of course trying to stay out of a relationship. However, things get seriously bad and he has to face what his heart has been telling him, but it could definitely be too late. I almost cried. I'm not overly emotional, and I knew I had to have an HEA, so the really hard part had light at the end of the tunnel. But it was heart wrenching.
I really enjoyed this mix of action, suspense and romance. The lives of the hunters are interesting knowing how they grew up. It's interesting to see what they were able to do with their lives after all they had been through.
The narration was good for the male POV parts, but I had a really hard time with Roger Wayne's female Russian accent. I eventually got over it, but it was an adjustment for me. There were also parts that I felt like could have had more fire to them, like the action scenes. Overall it was a good performance, there were just a couple of little bits that bothered me.This review was originally posted on Rantings of a Reading Addict

3.5 - 4.0⭐
Cain is a Gen one Hunter and Marina is a Russian trying to set things up so her mafia banker Uncle can get out and escape his life of crime.
Cain saves Marina's life twice and helps her complete her mission for her nefarious uncle.
I didn't think the story was bad but I didn't get the connection between Cain and Marina. It seemed forced to me. Almost as though Cain needed someone, anyone and Marina just happened to be the damsel in distress. Marina wasn't that smart, IMO. All the years dealing with her Uncle and she never once suspected she was being used. I thought the plot was very predictable and I skimmed some.
Overall, I do like this new Hunter series. I like the Gen One Hunters. They're brave and honorable. Very much like the order but not quite as organized. I do like that they band together and take care of one problem at a time as opposed to some murky master villain they have to chase down.

SPOILERS AHEAD, BE WARNED!
This book was not as good as the previous one in my opinion.
It had some exciting moments and twists for sure but there was one thing lacking; captivating characters.
Both main characters felt a little bit flat in my opinion. Cain was talking about his lack of honor or "if he were a better man..." for the most part of his book. Marina had two great scenes and everything else was just plain even though she had such a promising personality.
New secondary characters in this book are; Bram, Lana, Raze, Logan and Knox. Bram & Lana are blood bonded and expecting a child. Raze and Logan are introduced as the new Breed bad boys. Knox is a Breed male who fits nicely with the tortured hero theme (I guess that he is getting his story told next). None of these characters were very interesting to read about, unfortunately.
One thing I am excited about is getting more JUSTIS. They seem like an intriguing organization.

The reader first meets Cain in BORN OF DARKNESS (Hunter Legacy #1). He's quit his casino security job in Vegas and lands in Miami where he meets Marina, the neice of a Bratva banker, sent to the US on a "secret" mission for her Russian gangster uncle. When Cain saves her from an assassination attempt, their lives collide and entwine. There's lots of danger, action, and double-crosses. Cain and Marina have interesting breed and breed mate gifts that play into the plot. Roger Wayne provides excellent characterizations and narration.

Dieser Band war wieder ein wenig besser, was eher daran lag, das wir mehr Jäger kennenlernen durften. Deren Zusammenhalt in dem dunklen Hafen fand ich toll.
Cain hat mich öfter aufgeregt. Marinas Naivität ging mir nach einer Weile auf die Nerven.
Der Sprecher des Hörbuchs hat mich durchhalten lassen.
Dennoch 3 Sterne. Im Vergleich zu Band 1 war er wieder besser, was aber hier eher an den Nebenfiguren lag. Ich werde die Reihe auf jeden Fall wegen ihnen weiterverfolgen.

This was a good read, but I wish it was a little longer! There was some action and mystery to enjoy, but the romance needed a little more space to develop. Cain and Marina’s relationship happened in a blink of an eye, but the sizzling emotional link from Breed mates happened way later than I was expecting, making it difficult to completely buy into the declarations of love.

Eeekkk!!! Love this book!! Cain and Marina's story is freaking fantastic! Eekk!! Action packed and full of surprises! Loved it!

The second book in the MB-Hunter Legacy did not disappoint. Following on the heels of Born of Darkness where we meet Cain, Cain ends up thwarting an attempt on Marina's life. Filled with action, deception, betrayal, killing and most importantly love, this was a fantastic book! 4 solid stars****
