Samara hated her job as a Hunter. Her parents were leaders of the Devil Hunters and trained her since childhood to hunt the supernatural. They hunted dragons, witches, wolves; and in Samara’s case, she hunted entire packs or clans. She already decided that this mission would be her last. She didn’t want to kill and felt that the were-creatures could not help that they were born with a beast inside them. This time, she would run and start a new life elsewhere in hiding from her parents.
Samara’s mother called while she was driving to Nevada, actually giggling as she described how they had wiped out a pack after lying to them about sparing them in exchange for information. They had gotten into the wolf database and found a large pack that they feared would attack humans. She was being sent to do recon on the pack, then report back. But as she checked into the motel, she met Devin, a werewolf-witch, at the front desk and they immediately felt a connection to each other. The idiot hunter-trainee from Denver she had checked on earlier – the one who was stupid enough to attack four werewolves and lucky they let him live – had followed her to the motel. She stormed off to her room to get away from him.
At lunchtime, Devin knocked on Samara’s door and invited her to join him. On the drive to the diner, Devin freely talked to Samara about his pack, his alpha brother-in-law, his family, and even admitted he was a wolf. His sister was also at the diner, along with her Alpha husband and her pups. Samara and Devin joined the alpha and his family for lunch – she was glad her mother couldn’t see her right now – and then the two of them walked out to the truck. Devin touched her shoulder and she felt a jolt under her skin – they had just imprinted!! He drove to his home, and she told him she was a Hunter. Using a truth spell, he questioned her about her intentions toward his pack. Would she accept Devin as her mate? Would she run away and start that new life alone? And what would she do about the disgusting Jack who had followed her to the diner and knew she met with the Alpha? If he told her parents, she could not save Devin’s family!
I enjoy this book series, but sometimes it didn’t seem to have a good logical flow. Having Devin immediately tell a stranger that he was a wolf didn’t make sense. He had no idea who Samara was or what she did. And at the diner, when he touched her and immediately kissed her, there should have been some sort of lead-up to that. He had avoided touching her then suddenly decided to imprint? It just felt a bit awkward and needed some editing. But I still enjoyed the story line and the characters. Even Jack was described well because the reader could easily dislike him! Grab a copy of the book and see how this potential disaster works out for Samara.
