Romance and erotica in a decent tale. Made me think of the movie Ghost in some places.,
By
This review is from: Hunter's Edge (Paperback)
I debated whether to get this book, as recent SW offerings have been pretty lacklustre, but I think that that's because they are earlier works that have been reworked and lengthened...but I am glad that I got this one, as this was a real love story, with several phrases used that reminded me of the line ine the movie Ghost, where Sam leaves Molly for the last time and reminds her that 'the love you have inside, you take it with you...'.
It's a pretty simple tale, which starts when the leads are at school aged 8, and when Angelica, or Angel as she is called, tells Kelvin, or Kel as he is known, that she will marry him one day. Though he gets ribbed by his friends for 'having a girlfriend', he isn't mean and nasty to her, as he senses that she is different. The tale continues, with the author telling us what happens to them at various ages, until at age 18 they go off to college, and a year later become lovers. But typically, the path of true love isn't all sweetness and roses, as Angel gets attacked by a vampire (not that she knows what/who her attacker is) one night, but before he can finish her off, Kel, who has been working all hours to save for a ring for Angel, senses her distress and races to her, only to be badly injured by the vampire...and to disappear from Angel's life, presumed dead. And Angel, though not converted into a vampire through her injuries, is changed and becomes 'vampire-bait', i.e. attractive to vampires. Only, Kel isn't dead, and whilst the feral vampire who attacked him left him for dead, he was found by Rafe and Sheila (from the earlier Ellora's Cave Hunters series), who see him through his Change and teach him about his new life. During the 11 years over which Kel's acceptance of his new life takes place, his parents have died but Angel has loved him beyond death, though Kel cannot go to her, as for her sanity and survival, she needs to believe that the boy she loved is dead, and his lack of control means that should he have contact with her, he won't be able to control his blood-lust around her. Yes, they eventually get their HEA, but not until Kel is forced to reveal himself in order to be able to save her life, and this is where the tale loses a *. About 1/4 of the book is about the leads growing up together, about 1/2 is about Kel and his life-after-Angel, then the ending, which should have IMO been about 1/2 the book, is in fact only about 1/4, making it seemed rushed. I'd have preferred more angst, more explanations and more avowals of love and talk of the future, more demands from Angel of Kel as to why he allowed her to grieve for so long and to go through counselling for 12 years... Overall, though, this was, as the publisher says, a Samhain erotic novel, where it is all about the story, so yes, you get a good tale and your money's worth.

4.5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!,
By Natalie S "ns65" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hunter's Edge (Kindle Edition)
In Shiloh Walker's HUNTER'S EDGE, readers are introduced to Angel and Kel. In love since childhood, they were torn apart by brutality. Never able to forget each other, their love remains strong.
Kel and Angel were inseparable. From the first moment that Angel met Kel, she vowed then and there, at eight years old, that she was going to marry him. Of course, that is not something that a boy wants to hear, but as they grew older and became first friends and then lovers, Kel and Angel's feelings for each other never dimmed. When Kel is killed protecting Angel from an evil her mind can't fathom, Angel feels as if her life is over. She battles depression and dark dreams. She feels as if she is going crazy. But through it all, she still loves Kel with every beat of her heart. While she thinks she is losing her mind, she can feel his presence and wishes he was with her. Twelve years ago, Kel became one of the undead. Protecting his Angel against a vile and viscous attack, he was turned into the very thing he was fighting. Unable to get past the fact that he is now a vampire, Kel fights his destiny daily. One of the hunters now, he spends his time hunting down and eradicating rogue vampires. When Angel is threatened once more by the rogue that attacked them years ago, Kel has no choice but to protect Angel. He knows that he can't have her any longer, but he is unable to leave her alone and at the mercy of the evil that is stalking her. HUNTER'S EDGE is a dark and stormy read. Not a typical romance, everything is not candy and roses for the hero and heroine. Their lives ended almost twelve years ago and since then, neither has been able to forget the other. Angel's memories are plagued with nightmares and yearnings she can't explain. Depression is predominant and Kel experiences pretty much the same. He loves his Angel but refuses to expose her to the darkness that has become his life. I found myself teary eyed more than once, but I can promise that while HUNTER'S EDGE is suspenseful and edgy, it also has a happy ever after. Shiloh Walker makes sure of that! HUNTER'S EDGE is available from Samhain Publishing. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Hunter's Edge,
By M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hunter's Edge (Kindle Edition)
Kelvin (Kel) Saunders met the new girl in his elementary school in a most unique way - she said that she was going to marry him one day. Kel was unsure of Angel then, but as the years went on, he always seemed to know when Angel needed him and their feelings grew as they did. Until one night when Kel felt terror from Angel and he rushed to her - a night that changed his life.
Angelica (Angel) Pierson knew who Kel would be to her from the moment she laid eyes on him. Angel never doubted that Kel would be there for her and he always was, even one horrible night when she was attacked. But when Angel woke up in the hospital, it was to learn Kel was gone. Picking up the pieces of her life and going on only half-worked for Angel. Kel was changed that night and now twelve years later, he is still trying to get over not being able to be with Angel. He knows that the others are unsure what to make of him even though he is on their team. One night Kel learns that Angel is in danger and nothing, not even his boss, is going to keep Kel from protecting Angel. Angel has been just going day-to-day and missing Kel every one. When danger once again targets Angel and she learns about Kel, will their lives be able to begin again? Or will time, distance, and pride keep them apart forever? When fate has decided one thing, and what happens when it is interrupted, is what I discovered Hunter's Edge was all about. Angel just knows things sometimes and she knew that Kel was to be with her. Kel never expected to meet the girl he would love when he was seven, much less have her say so. My heart went out to both Angel and Kel, as the events that kept them apart seemed to be ongoing. Then when Kel fought like crazy to get to Angel and then she fought for him, once again I felt the sting of tears. All through Hunter's Edge, I kept thinking that you just shouldn't mess with what fate and love have decided is going to be. Kel and Angel showed not only that their love was strong, but also when you are lucky enough to find it with your soul mate, nothing can keep you apart. I have loved and followed all of Ms. Walker's Hunters and from that respect, I have to say that Hunter's Edge is a must read. But if you have never picked up one of the Hunters books, then no worries, you can begin with Hunter's Edge and learn how the Hunters will grab you up and keep you in their grip.
