In book 2 in the Wing Hunter Slayers, Sutton is cursed to crave the blood of witches even though he hopes to find his soul-mirror in a witch. (Soul-mirrors are earth witches who are supposed to save hunters from the curse.) Several hunters are giving in to the bloodlust, killing both good and evil witches, which turns them rogue. Sutton and his friends have vowed never to give in and are forced to kill the rogues and evil witches alike.
Carla is an earth witch who uses her gifts to help others overcome terrible trauma. She feels compelled to help and trust Sutton even though he could snap at any moment. She’s still grieving over the loss of her twin sister, Keri, but then she learns that Keri’s soul is trapped inside the blade of a knife. Keri’s soul is reaching out to Sutton (through the sisters’ twin bond), and Keri wants Carla to help him. Carla believes Keri and Sutton are true soul-mirrors, but Sutton doesn’t. He wants and loves Carla.
I really enjoyed this story until the love triangle. Who is Sutton’s soul-mirror? Carla or Keri? The final answer to this was confusing.
There are some unanswered questions with some minor characters, but it doesn’t really matter overall. As with the first book, lots of innocent witches died, which made the story hard to read sometimes because it’s just so sad.
Carla and Sutton are great together. I really liked the H/h, but the confusion with the soul-mirrors distracted me.

In book one of the Wing Hunter Slayers series, Axel is a kickass hunter in desperate need a witch.
Historically, the Wing Slayers were witch hunters who killed the evil ‘demon witches’ but protected the good ‘earth witches.’ Thirty years ago, the demon witches cursed the race of slayers into craving witch blood. If the hunter gives in, he’ll lose his soul and become a heartless, killing monster. Axel and his hunter friends are determined to never give in, but the only way to calm their bloodlust without killing a witch is to have lots of sex with humans. When rogues are attacking witches, the hunters fight them, but they try their hardest to stay away from both types of witches, so they themselves won’t be tempted to hurt the women. (Rogues are ex-hunters who believe the curse will be broken if they kill all the witches in existence.)
Darcy is an earth witch but doesn’t know it. Raised by a mortal family, she always knew she was different but didn’t know why until two rogues attack her. Axel ends up saving her by kidnapping her. He needs her to do a spell to save his little sister from a death mark, but Darcy knows very little about witchcraft.
Their relationship starts with lots of problems. Neither trust each other, but they decide to work together to save the child. They learn from each other and become stronger and more powerful than they ever would’ve been if apart.
Axel and Darcy’s chemistry is off the charts. They’re both wonderfully stubborn and strong characters. They work great together, but their mistrust is understandable. Both characters feel very real, and their mutual sacrifices will pave the way for a better future.
Axel’s friends—Sutton, Key, Ram, and Phoenix—are in the same boat Axel’s in, and I can’t wait to see what happens to them when they meet the women who will save them in the following books. Darcy’s friends—Joe, Carla, and Morgan—play a big role in the story. I usually read books that feature a hero and his friends saving the day while the heroine’s friends don’t exist or are on the backburner. Not so in this book. Darcy’s pals are just as important as the hunters are.
I really enjoyed this story, but sometimes I had a hard time following. The history of the Wing Slayer Hunters, the earth witches, and the demon witches is scattered throughout the book in bits and pieces, which made it difficult to understand what was really going on and what these people were about. By the time all the information was stated, I was a little lost but managed to piece most everything together in my head. Now that I know what’s going on, I should be able to enjoy and understand the other books in the series better.
The story is free of spelling typos, from what I could tell. There were a few scenes where I would’ve liked more detail and description (I had a hard time picturing the cat inside the magical tapestry), but I could make out what was going on through my own imagination.
I definitely recommend this book for paranormal romance lovers, and I look forward to reading more in the series.

In book 4 in the Wing Hunter Slayers, Key battles the curse of bloodlust every day and draws to unleash the violence and rage inside him. Drawing keeps him sane, and he’s turned his artistic talent into a popular comic book about an avenging dragon, Dyfyr. The dragon, however, is real and lives inside him. Plagued by visions of dead witches for years, Key is shocked when he sees one of the witches very much alive in Las Vegas at a comic con. He’s determined to help her before she ends up dead.
Roxy is a fertility witch who controls sex magic. They’re very rare and much more secretive than the earth and demon witches that have been prevalent throughout the series so far. She has a chance to be normal, a human (which she wants), but her latent, dying witch power blooms to life when she meets Key. Instead of whining about her lost dreams, Roxy embraces her new life and all the dangers in it. Her acceptance shows strength of character, and I really admired that about her.
Roxy and Key’s connection is instant. The sex is hot and pulls her closer to Dyfyr. The dragon and man are one, and she loves them both. Roxy and Key both had difficult childhoods, especially poor Key, but they soon learned to heal each other. Dyfyr’s past is heartbreaking, but his history with his mortal lover centuries earlier is one of the more interesting parts of the book.
A few typos took me out of the story, so I had to reread to find out what was going on. Still, I enjoyed this book and I’m glad I read it.

In book 3 in the Wing Hunter Slayers, it’s Phoenix’s job to stop rogues from killing innocent earth witches. When he meets Ailish, he’s desperate to fight the bloodlust that’s telling him to kill her. Cursed into killing witches when they once protected them, the Wing Slayer Hunters need to find their soul-mirror (the earth witch whose soul is connected to theirs) in order to break the curse. Ailish is Phoenix’s soul-mirror, but she’s already promised to another. Phoenix is also the mythical phoenix and finds in Ailish more than just the other half of his soul.
Ailish is an earth witch but was raised in a coven of cruel demon witches. Her evil mother promised Ailish’s soul and her magical siren voice to the demon Asmodeus. Tricked into a handfasting ceremony with Asmodeus, Ailish has struggled for the past eight years to break the handfast and to survive on her own. She’s a strong, determined woman and being blind made her that much stronger.
I absolutely loved this book. It’s fast-paced and kept my attention. Phoenix and Ailish are wonderful characters (my fav couple in the series), and you can’t help but root for them. He’s so sexy, sweet, and a total badass with a funny side. The Chuck Norris jokes are hilarious. The ending is a tearjerker, so make sure you grab a tissue.
The side characters are great as always. The story takes place about five or six months after the first book, so it’s nice to see how the bonded couples are doing and how the non-bonded men are coping with the bloodlust. We also get an update on Joe and Morgan, the mortals who befriended the hunters in book one.
There were a few typos, for example: the crying kitten can’t be both a her and a him kitty.
The book is a great addition to series, and it furthers the overall series arc about taking down the evil Quinn Young, the leader of the rogues and the Wing Slayer Hunters main enemy.
I definitely recommend it.
