Book 2 of Louisa Masters the Collective series follows Matt and Dylan, featuring a secret relationship, lots of snark and banter, cameos from our past friends, and more than one Higher Demon making an appearance! What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted in the Demon Hunter?
From the blurb:
Before that night, there wasn’t much in my life I could complain about. I hunt rogue demons for a living, which is the coolest thing ever, and my brothers are the best. Sure, there was that thing with our parents betraying humanity, and okay, I wasn’t thrilled when my brother-bestie hooked up with a demon, but everything else was amazing.
Except that Dylan, the person I love more than anything, wanted to keep our relationship secret.
I got it; I really did. He’s lost all his family, and he was afraid if my family adopted him, he might lose them too. It’s not like we’ve got the world’s safest jobs. I was sure he’d change his mind eventually.
That decision was taken from him one awful night. Now, everyone knows, but Dylan’s more worried about the people trying to kill me. Unidentified and vicious; that’s all we know. Oh, and they hacked The Collective’s server.
How does a demon hunter fight a virtual threat? He doesn’t… that’s his kickass techie boyfriend’s job. Dylan will find these people, and then we’ll deal with them.
Even if there is more going on than we know about.
Molly Otto's review:
Well, Louisa starts this one with a bang that's the polite way of putting it. You are captured from the beginning to see how Matt & Dylan learn to navigate life as it is now. With the 'help' of Ian & Marc, you are in for a ride. Marc shows us more why you can't help but love, thus a pretentious higher demon that will do anything and everything for Ian, including dealing with this crazy family.
Dylan shows how strong of a man he is that even after he has lost so much his faith doesn't waiver. Him & Matt just balance one another that shows us they really are better together than when they are apart. A great follow-up to HIGHER DEMON.
Jacqueleen the Reading Queen's review:
Demon Hunter begins with us being let into the know that Matt has been keeping a mighty big secret from his bestie and family. It turns out that he and their hacker buddy Dylan are a lot more than friends. In fact, Matt and Dylan have been in a relationship for almost a year and have been hooking up for even longer. They are in love. And none of their friends and family have any idea.
Dylan had his reasons for keeping their relationship a secret, but that certainly comes back to bite him in the ass when Matt lands himself in the hospital clinging to life. Dylan has to keep it together while watching the rest of Matt's family fall apart. It must have been brutal on him to try and be the strong one for them while inside he's terrified of losing the man he loves.
I have to say Marc totally shines in this book. From his many quips of superiority that make me laugh to the few glimpses he gives the guys of just what about him Ian could have fallen in love with. Marc is certainly a complicated man, but he definitely comes in key more than a couple times. We also get to meet one of his fellow Higher Demons! Raum is proof that Marc is not an anomaly when it comes to the personalities of demons. He is just as proper and stuck up as Marc, though he seems to care greatly for his fellow demons.
There are some hints dropped to our favorite hunters, but it appears Ian and Marc's bonding is still a secret for now. I can't lie and say I am not dying for a scene where Ian's brothers find out. I don't know whose reaction I want to see more: Matt or Connors. As for the plotline of this book, it covers the major who done it part of the mystery, but there is still quite a lot of work to be done to end the horrific actions the bad guys took part in. My fingers are crossed for a Raum book next!
