No reward points for this product.

CALLIE is a sassy detective, known for her attitude and her ability to endanger her partners. While investigating a senator, she stumbles upon suck-bloods (her word) and a canister, embroiling herself in a diabolical plot older than her grandfather. Trying to stop her dying sister from an unlikely conversion, she falls for an ancient suck-blood and discovers that she’s more than human.
GABRIEL is centuries old but has withdrawn from society, preferring to spend his years avoiding vamp politics and reading ancient Greek texts. Asked to rescue Callie as a favor, he doesn’t expect her to tempt him with her scent, her delicious blood and her honor. When another vampire abducts her, Gabe must use his allies and their skills to find her before she suffers through a conversion dooming her to an eternity of enslavement.
The passion between them is potent, their love empowering as Callie learns that controlling everything won’t bring her happiness. Gabe discovers that to truly live he must lose his heart. What follows is the merging of vampire and human, of lust and love, of honor and forgiveness whilst preventing the suck-bloods and beasts from fighting a war they didn’t start.
Reviews
HIGHLY recommend!
The Huntress: The Blood of Legends’ by Sevannah Storm offered thrilling character development on classic fantastical creatures in a paranormal world. It was deeply enjoyable following Callie, the main character, as she balances both the tropes of a strong and witty female detective but also reveals deep insecurity and relatable human flaw in her fight for control in her life (which has definitely lost control!). In this sense, Storm is able to capture very human experiences and emotions, like struggling to develop a sense of control or defending one’s loyalty to family or convictions, through her twist to a vampire story. The dialogue and intensity between Callie and Gabe was truly captivating, and I really got lost in the read! I HIGHLY recommend!
A String of Surprises
From the very first page, I could tell The Huntress was going to be unlike anything I had read before. The author has a completely unique style that is incredibly satisfying. The story is fast-paced, action-packed, and breathtakingly addictive to read through. If you are looking for a story with takes new, original takes on older, familiar themes, then The Huntress is the story for you. The result is a consistent string of surprises and unexpected turns; there is an ever-present sense that you know what is going to happen next, only to be proven wrong time and time again. If you are looking for something fresh that will get your heart racing (for multiple reasons), then I highly advise you to pick up a copy of The Huntress.
Overall, this was a great read with a wonderful cast of characte
In a world where vampires and shifters co-exist – in a fashion – next to humans, it would take something pretty spectacular to bring all of them together. Say… a mysterious canister and the blood of someone that changes with what she eats maybe? Yep, that should do it.
Callie has always listened to her instincts and they have kept her alive and pretty much unharmed. Gabe is the older brother, the stronger brother, and yet it is Syl who rules. None of that bothers Gabe but once Callie is on the scene, he will do anything to protect her – even if it means taking his brother’s throne.
I really enjoyed this first book in the series. It leads you to a new world where the rules have changed. I enjoyed getting to know Callie and found her to be a strong, upfront, and sassy heroine. However, I also found parts of the story with her to be slightly confusing as her mindset isn’t always the most stable.
There is an overall story arc that I’m sure will be covered more in future books. For now, though, this story was enough to give you a fulfilling read whilst still leaving you wanting more. The only downsides for me were the confusion already mentioned and the epilogue. I won’t say too much as I don’t want to ruin it for others but, suffice it to say, part of the epilogue was perfect. And the other part was just meh. I’ve seen that storyline before, just thrown it in at the end, and it never seems to come out as it should.
Overall, this was a great read with a wonderful cast of characters, smooth pacing, and a world I wish to return to. Definitely recommended by me.

"The plot is fascinating as are the characters."
Callie Devereaux is a police detective. All she cares about is her work, her sister, and her partner/father figure Mike.
Gabriel DeWinter is a centuries old vampire who just wants to be left alone. He is strong enough to be king of his Hold, but leaves that responsibility to his younger brother.
Callie crashes an exclusive party to find evidence of corruption in government and stumbles onto something much bigger. She ends up in possession of a canister that is very important to the DeWinter vampire hold and comes to the attention of Gabriel DeWinter. Her life will never be the same.
The author has created a unique and slightly dark world peopled with humans, vampires, and shifters, all of whom are at odds with each other. Her descriptions are very detailed and I had no problem visualizing the characters and the settings. The plot is fascinating as are the characters. The story is very involved and had all of my attention until the very end. Hopefully the next installment of this series will be available very soon.

The Huntress
Enthralling. That’s the word I would use to describe The Huntress. I loved it. Callie, the main character, is strong and sassy, but she also has her weaknesses and insecurities. Gabe is equally strong and the romance between them is intense. This adult novel is stunning. Sevannah Storm draws you in, ensnaring you with dynamic characters, a thrilling plot and that incredible romance. The world building is powerful and convincing. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
