Hunter's Hope

I fell wicked fast and super hard for Hunter and Alice. I loved book one of this series and can't even really believe that some how book two managed to be even better, but I swear it was. This is in fact only my second book by this author and I am stunned by what I've been missing. I find the writing extremely well done and and the reading is smooth and easy. I was quickly pulled into the unfolding story and its brewing romance and my attention and my heart were totally captivated. Alice and Hunter are smartly crafted and nicely layered characters that connect quickly with you and have your heart just aching for them. The chemistry here is in my opinion, is a perfect balance of sparks and sweetness. Trust me when I tell you that the feels and emotions are mega. While I think you could read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend you read these books and in order. While each entry in this series focuses on its featured couple, there is an overarching story in play. So characters reappear and previous events are referenced. This book and this series are incredible and I for on can not wait for book three. If you like your PNR with humor, action, danger, sizzle, heart and big twists, you must read this series. This is my frank, freely posted review.

Alice is very much an animal person. They don't judge her for being odd and having a couple of weird talents...like seeing & talking to ghosts or picking up on feelings from her animals. She made a fresh life for herself when she escaped the Insitute and she is staying off their radar! Hunter is a proverbial newborn Vampire! He's weeks old and dealing with fangs, feeding, and how to explain things to his firehouse! He has a couple of weeks to get a grip on his new life or he's going to have to give up all he's worked for. Neither of them expected the attraction they feel and Hunter is desperate not to let his vampy side out of the bag to anyone but when they first meet she thinks he's a ghost. Needless to say, Alice still gets her eyes opened to all manner of supernaturals when she gets pulled into the bedlam that is Hunter's new life. I have no idea why Hunter got friend zoned so much - he's an absolute dreamboat! He and Alice are just to dang cute together! He's a great mash-up of alpha hero but with naive vampire added on top. Alice is pretty naive too, having been institutionalised for much of her life and I loved how she blossomed under the care of Hunter and the sheer forces of nature that are Meara and Ryan! PS One of my fave funny scenes don't even involve Hunter or Alice - it's a certain part-angel trying to throw herself off the roof LOL

Hunter's Hope is a fantastic paranormal romance by Alyssa Day. This is my first read by this author and I didn't bother reading the blurb, so it was a great surprise. I don't usually read vampire paranormal, but honestly, this one grabbed me right away and I read it cover to cover with a short break to grab lunch. Ms. Day has given us a well-written book. The characters are spectacular and just plain fun. Hunter is a newly turned vampire and bumps into Alice and her racoon at a hotel. Alice has her own little quirk, she talks to ghosts and communicates with animals. Hunter and Alice's story is packed with drama, laugh-out-loud humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Alyssa Day in the future. Hunter's Hope is book 2 of the Vampire Motorcycle Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
