Night of the Huntress by Kathryn SmithMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
In this vampire-themed story, Bishop, a vampire of 700 years, longs for a peaceful existence. However, convincing humans that vampires are not monsters proves to be a challenging task, especially with the presence of vampire hunters like The Reaper. Marika, who believes a vampire killed her mother, leads a group determined to eradicate these creatures. Unbeknownst to everyone, Marika herself is half-vampire. In her quest for vengeance, she captures Bishop, hoping he can lead her to the vampire responsible for her mother's death. As Bishop remains in captivity, secrets about Marika's past unravel, challenging her beliefs. Together, Marika and Bishop must confront their shared enemies while also facing the truth of their love. The story delves into their race against time for survival and the discovery of their intertwined destinies.
I found the second installment of the series to be somewhat underwhelming compared to the first. The main characters, Marika and Bishop, didn't resonate with me as much, and the overall storyline fell short of my expectations. While the author attempted to create a balance of vulnerability and strength in Marika, it didn't quite come together convincingly. Similarly, Bishop's portrayal as a warrior lacked distinct qualities that set him apart from the protagonist in the previous book. I still plan to continue with the series.
