Final Hour Of The Hunter Bonnie Bernard

 Final Hour Of The Hunter

I love this book, Howie really does it for me, he is just so snarky and the one liners he comes out with a simply hilarious. I love his interactions with the still virginal human and especially the bull headed human, who most of the rest of us know as Donna and Cassie. He is definitely my favourite character in the series, being so abrupt and saying exactly what he thinks no matter who he is talking to, is very refreshing and sometimes quite amusing. Ok enough Howie praise!

Donna takes on a job at the  gun shop run by Kyle and Uncle Clarke, to try and figure out where their friends have been taken to. With Samee, Cassie and even Mo going missing throughout the book, Donna and Hunter are beside themselves trying to locate their friends, and only close to the end do we find out the truth about the importance of some of these people to the whole scheme of things in keeping balance in the underworld on the physical plane.

I really like where this book went and I love that I never in my wildest dreams would have guessed where the mischief in chaos was being created from, random shootings and fights and the almost obsessive need for everyone to arm themselves against the uprising. Chaos pretty much reigns terror down on the "stupid humans" every time she appears, and Donna’s  main goal is to track down Chaos’ sidekick who is stirring things up in the mortal realm and creating disruption everywhere to make her stronger. I kind of guessed who the culprit was but, had my doubts when some very unexpected sources surprised me along the way, especially when Donna decided to save the world on her own and got captured at the back of The Darkside, and then all sorts of interesting things unfolded.

I was very happy with the way the book ended and am pleased to know there is a spin off series, as I felt the ending allowed for that and it would seem that Jonathon is not really his father’s son, when it comes to personality anyway. I was sad for Faith but excited by the outcome of the Magickal Mysteries meeting. There is a whole new story waiting to be born.

Thank you so much Bonnie Bernard for allowing me to read your books in return for an honest review. I have enjoyed this series very much and can't wait to read more of your stories.

I have been reading so many great books this year, I guess it would make sense to right up in one place what I think about them. There is such a treasure trove of talented writers out there just looking for people to read their works and spread the word as a lot of these artists are independent and word of mouth is priceless in their world.
I have been lucky enough to be in a group who gets to read and review some of these amazing writers, and I would have to say I am very lucky for being included. These authors have such creative talent and could definitely show established writers a thing or two.
If you want to try something new and set your imagination on fire, look outside what is already there and have a look at the unknown and you will be in for a surprise.
I'm going to repost some of my reviews for these book here and hopefully someone will open a door into a world that is much bigger than their current one with the magic of a good book.

These are some of the fabulous books I have had the joy of reading just over the last couple of months. There is nothing more enjoyable than slipping into a good books and letting it take you away to another time and place. I love when I get so engrossed in a book that I lose myself, and there is nothing quite like the feeling of absolute disappointment when such a fabulous story ends and I either have to wait for the next book or the story has reached it conclusion. I'm sure there are many book lovers who know these feelings well.

Guardian (The guardian) (Kindle Edition) Guardian was such a fantastic read that captured me from the very first page. I love Hannah she is such a strong female character, and Gabriel is just perfect in every way. I made easy connections to characters and found the story flowed smoothly and I didn't want to put it down at any time. I love how Hannah's story unfolds and I am dying to read Forever as I am so eager to see where the story goes now. I have recommended this book to all my friends who like this kind of story and even to some who don't I think it is that good. I was given this book in return for my honest review.

: The Spirit Box (Paperback) The Spirit Box was the perfect book for me. I won the kindle book from JH Glaze..Thanks by the way :)such an awesome read. The characters were easy to follow and the twists in the story had me feeling anxious as I didn't know what to expect next, which is definitely something I like in a good story. I I'm not drawn into the story I simply will not read it.
Walt was a bit creepy from the start and the Spirit Box just magnified that creepiness by a lot. The danger and the power of what the box offers is a temptation I don't think any ordinary person could deny.
I can't wait for the to read the next book in the series.

NorthWest (John Hazard - Book II) (Kindle Edition) I loved this book. Northwest is even better than The Spirit Box, I loved the storyline and I also loved seeing John have a human side and not just the stiff mechanical detective side. His central role in the book I think helps tie all the characters together, and the story itself is brilliant. Reading the series of events that lead the group into the forests of the Northwest US, kept me interested and guessing the whole time, I love the build up of tension and anxiety because I didn't know what would happen next.
I really cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out.
