Sally Grace is a witch who doesn't know a lot about her family except her mother was a witch and not a very nice person. In an attempt to escape the dungeon of the Anasso (king of all vampires) she put a spell on one of her guards so he would help her escape. How was she to know that it would accidentally kick in a mating with Roke? After learning she is half demon she must HUNT THE DARKNESS to find a way to release the vampire before it is too late. She has never trusted anyone but the more she sees of Roke the more she wants to trust him and the more she wants the mating to be real and not just a spell.

Roke was only following the Anasso's orders and finds himself mated to a witch. He hates witches. The mating might be only caused by a spell but the pull for the runaway Sally sends him chasing after her. On top of it all he has to endure the company of the irritating mini gargoyle Levet. What is a vampire to do? He wants only to return to his clan in Nevada and get on with life ... but the world is conspiring against him. There are demons pretending to be other demons, magic boxes, and even his own clan are out to make his life miserable. It is only the moments with his mate that make it all worthwhile and leads him to think maybe having a willful, strong mate isn't such a bad idea.

HUNT THE DARKNESS is a delight. It is romance personified with the perfect touches of gruff yet tender alpha male vampire, the strong but hopeful witch and the sizzling affect they have on each other. Throw in the comedic relief of our favorite little gargoyle and beings with their own agenda's and you have HUNT THE DARKNESS.

Author Alexandra Ivy takes us back to her Guardians of Eternity series picking up where Darkness Avenged left off. I loved Roke but I admit it was also fun to watch his cool, calm control slip a number of times where Sally was concerned and also to watch him begin to face the fact that he didn't care if it was a spell ... her as his mate felt real to him. After reading about Sally's past I began to believe, with her strength and spirit, she is the perfect match for him. Anyone who has gone through what she did certainly deserves the happiness they can have together. It is always nice to see the characters from past books and have them once again in action. This book is a whirlwind ride that is nonstop and very pleasing but it does have one draw back ... you will be pining for the next one. Great job Alexandra Ivy ... keep them coming.

Book Summary

The vampire Roke is raw, sensual, always in control. Yet somehow he's allowed the unthinkable to happen: a nymph-like witch named Sally has used her magic to trick Roke into mating with her. The pair will remain bound for eternity unless Sally breaks the spell. The trouble is, she has no idea how. . .

Mating with Roke was an accident;at least that's what Sally keeps telling herself. She's on the hunt for her demon father, whose identity holds the key to releasing the spell. The search won't be easy with Roke shadowing Sally's every move. As they mate with a ferocity that leaves them both aching for more, Sally isn't sure if her world is more dangerous without Roke--or with him. . .
