PNR Review: Hunter of Shadows [Mass Market Paperback]



I've finished "Hunter of Shadows" the 5th book in her paranormal suspense series by Nancy Gideon.

Product Description

NANCY GIDEON RETURNS TO HER STEAMY NEW ORLEANS PRETERNATURAL WORLD WITH AN IRRESISTIBLE NEW SHAPE-SHIFTER ROMANCE.

The secrets he knows about her could get him killed.


Transferring to the New Orleans Police Department, Detective Silas MacCreedy has a hidden agenda: to secure his clan’s place once again in the Shifter hierarchy. What he didn’t count on was stumbling upon a sexy assassin who could shred his best intentions and lead him into a dangerous dance that threatens to engage his heart.

But the ones he doesn’t know . . .

Monica Fraser knows just how to make a man beg — for his life. But she has no clue how to fight her attraction to the fiercely intense detective who seems determined to get in her way, both professionally and intimately.

... can kill them both

When emotional attachments to the past and an unexpected glimpse of a different future have her questioning her deadly purpose, Nica must discover the truth about her secret abilities in order to free herself from the forces that control her. But that freedom comes with a price — trusting those she’s been ordered to eliminate.

My Review:

New Orleans Police Department, Detective Silas MacCreedy has a secret agenda to secure a place once again in the Shifter hierarchy by returning what he is sent to retrieve.  He's investigating recent disappearances of female shapeshifters without anyone seeing them.  He rushes to a women who he sees being assaulted in an alleyway but it's Nicca who saves him instead.

Nicca is an assassin for hire who has lived her life alone and likes it that way.  She believes if she got involved with anyone it will only bring pain and grief but she can't deny her fierce attraction to Silas.  She has come to town on a mission to take down her assignment but she realizes she can't!

Silas was a great character because he's sexy and hot but also conflicted with his mission to retrieve what he was sent for.  He's very much attracted to Nicca but she complicates a relationship from childhood and she starts messing with his head.

This book had non-stop action with a very steamy and hot romance.

4/5
