Got some goodies for you tonight!
I have the trailer for The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter – The Complete Series
and I’ll also be posting my review.
I won this a while ago and for the life of me can’t remember where I won it from. I want to thank them and the author for a signed edition of this collection. I’ve read it twice!
My Review
Chloe is awakened in the middle of the night when they come for her mother.
She barely has time to accept they’re vampires before her mother is viciously murdered before her eyes.
Before they can whisk Chloe away, vampire hunters crash the scene and rescue her. She’s taken to live with her grandfather, Luke, and 18 year old Drew, another hunter. They have a gated community where they live and train as hunters. It’s like their own private town.
That’s when 14-year-old Chloe finds out she’s descended from a long line of hunters, her mother being a very powerful one. But they hadn’t attacked to get her mother. They’d been coming for Chloe, and when she discovers who her father is, her thirst for revenge becomes her greatest priority.

You spend over a year with Chloe, as she trains and studies and trains some more.
There are two young men that she attracts. Drew, who lives with her grandfather. He’s belligerent, but inside he’s worried about her and tries to toughen her up for her own safety. And Gavin, the school’s heart throb, wants to get to know her better. It’s not really a love triangle and the romance fleshes out the story without being the focal point.
Everything seems to be rushing towards Chloe’s sixteenth birthday. Why does her father need her? What special ability will she get?
Chloe comes across as genuine. She’s becoming a young woman, brushing up against romance, training to defend her very life, and coping with the loss of her mother. She’s forced to grow up fast and think on the run.
I’m tempted to call this collection a serial. There are 6 stories in all, and each picks up where the last one left off, like episodes. They are not overly long, which makes for quick reading, there are no information gaps, and the colorful secondary characters are easy to remember.
This is a clean young adult read. The romance is sweet with no sexual content.
I’d recommend you buy the complete set. You’ll breeze through these in no time and at $4.99 ebook and $8.99 for print, they’re a steal!
I hear there’s to be more about Chloe in The Arcadia Falls Series. I’m looking forward to more.
A couple of fun things.
With everyone being hunters, there favorite gifts to give and receive are weapons. Can you picture Chloe’s pink handled handgun?
And did you know vampires go to the dentist. Yep. When they need help with their fangs, they go to Deadly Smiles.
4 STARS
