Synopsis:Hunters of the supernatural, the Execution Underground are an elite group tasked with protecting humanity...but at what price?

As an exorcist, David Aronowitz grew up the target of demonic assassins. Now he’s a member of the Execution Underground and hellspawn everywhere fear his name. But when a demon
slips into the seductive body of the only woman he’s ever loved,

David must confront the heartbreak of their past to save her. The piece of her heart Allsún O’Hare gave to David so long ago left her trapped between two worlds: the Fae and the human.
And when David comes to her rescue, fate reunites her with her greatest temptation—and her biggest mistake.

Now, as they’re swept together into a wicked game with the demon who controls her, David must decide if saving Allsún’s life is worth sacrificing his own—and the future of humanity itself.

Disclaimer: I received this ebook courtesy of the author in exchange for an honest review.


Immortal Hunter is book two in the EU series, but It can be read as a stand alone. We see some characters from the previous installments, but you don't necessarily have to read them in order. At least not at this point.

I like that each of the EU hunters have their own specialty. Which means each book will have it's own angle. That's what makes this series unique.  Damon from the Shadow Hunter novella is a vampire hunter and the leader of the Rochester Division. Jace from Twilight Hunter is the best werewolf hunter around.  David is a exorcists who can get rid of the baddest demons. The guys that have their own story coming are- Shane who specializes in all things occult, aka witches. Ash is a ghost medium that also hunts Poltergeists.Trent is a Shapeshifter hunter of the non werewolf types. The series will finish off with Damon's full story. Meet the EU men up close here.

Immortal Hunter focuses on David and Allsun. They have an amazing story.  This feels like the most believable true love story that I've read in a long time.  While the book is paranormal, the root of the relationship woes are embedded in the real world.  This is a story of second chances and demon killing of course!

I want to tell you about this book as spoiler free as I can, so forgive me it I'm a little vague. David and Allsun used to be together. They used to hunt demons together. Until Allsun wanted something that David was deathly afraid of.  A family and a change of career. So they split and went their own ways.  We soon find out that even more than the obvious lead to their separation. What is it? I won't tell. You've got to read the book to find out.  

Bottom line, they never got over each other, even though it has been some years since they broke up.  In Twilight Hunter, Allsun was kidnapped and tortured because she's one of the last fae around...yep, she's half fairy. Of course David feels guilty for not being there to protect her and he intends to make up for that fact now.  Turns out David has a lot to weighing on him, as does Allsun.  I can empathize with Allsun and at times I felt down right bad for David. Talk about a no win situation. 

Top that with a demon with a master plan on a killing spree. Aside from their own issues, David and Allsun are determined to hunt down this demon and send it back to hell before it possesses and kills more innocent families.

Check out my reviews of previous 
EU installments!

There are many components to this story and they all settle into place and everything comes together nicely.  I also appreciate that Ballenger was able to take such a serious relationship topics and seamlessly meld them into a paranormal fiction story. The book was well written and I really enjoyed the writing style.  It was very fast and entertaining read.

If you're a paranormal romance fan, this book is a must read!

Happy Reading,
Tamara
