Never let a demon see you sweat.
Zachariah
Williams isn’t just the darkest, most gothically gorgeous member of my
new academy monster hunting squad…he’s broken in a way I deeply
understand. The son of a small-town preacher with a big-time skillset,
he’s faced down monsters his whole life, a natural-born demon hunter
whose deep empathy and shattered soul makes me crave his glance, his
smile, and, okay…his hands all over me.
Trouble is, he’s also
got one killer of a family secret: right after he falls in love, Hell on
earth breaks out. The only way to stop it? Sacrifice whoever’s captured
his heart.
Talk about a second-date buzzkill.
Of
course, I haven’t been fighting monsters practically since the cradle to
back down now. Zach and the entire Wellington Academy monster hunter
squad are becoming my stand-in family, and that means more to me than I
ever expected.
And if someone’s gotta take out a bunch of
fire-breathing demons without getting hot under the collar, I’m still
the right girl for the job.
D.D. Chance’s The Hunter’s Curse is book 2 in the authors Monster Academy Series. The series features Nina Cross, a 24-year-old woman who traveled to Boston from her home in Asheville, North Carolina to find out if she has any family left. Nina is a virtual monster magnet. They follow her wherever she goes. She's found herself as a student at Wellington Academy where demon hunting is considered a minor degree, and the leader of the school is a real loser.
Nina, who has been fighting monsters all her life, found four hunters in training: Tyler Perkins, Liam Graham, Grim Lochton, and Zachariah (Zach) Williams. With the first book, readers got to learn about Tyler Perkins as well as the collective. This time around the author introduces you to Zach who grew up the son of a small-town preacher. He’s a natural born demon hunter who carries a dark secret as well as the ability to read minds.
The huge family secret could complicate any relationship he might discover with Nina, because like it or not, Zach and Nina have more in common than just their natural ability to hunt monsters. With everything that’s happened so far, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Nina has a large target on her back. There are people who know that she’s looking for answers about her family and her mother. As she and we as readers continue forward in this series, the more those people are starting to come forward.
Some have an agenda, some like Commander Frost, may hold answers to Nina’s past as well as her future and her connection to the four boys who she has fallen in with. I am eager to see what the ramifications are for Nina joining with the 4 boys in this collective, especially with what appears to be a demon uprising coming soon. I try awfully hard to leave spoilers out of my reviews. I eagerly accept each of these novels that I receive in lieu of an honest review. I have stated in my previous review of The Hunter’s Call that there are similarities between this series and the authors Twyst Academy series.
First, there’s one young woman and four boys. Second, each boy will get their own introduction in each installment. Next up is Liam, while Grim, who I am eager to learn more about, will bring the series to a close. There is always something special when the one young woman gets with each of the young men. Let’s just say it gives them wings! As I just said, I think I am more eager to learn about Grim, than I am Liam, but after Liam’s shocking discovery at the end of this book, I want to know what happens next.
The Monster Hunter Academy series is a slow-burn urban fantasy romance with a fast-talking, sharp-witted heroine, four hunters-in-training hot enough to make your palms sweat, and way too many monsters to hide in a closet. You should absolutely be reading this series!
