OVERVIEW
Donna McCormick is a smart, pretty college
student whose twenty-first birthday is a week away. Unfortunately, so is her
murder - unless the mysterious man from the darkness can reach her first.
Donna is pursued in her dreams by a man who claims to be her Eternal Partner. During her waking hours, she’s cornered by another who claims to be the same. There’s only one problem: neither is entirely honest.
Or, for that matter, entirely human.
Eight years earlier, Donna’s life was dealt a terrible blow with the untimely death of a little brother who was left in her care. Ever since, Donna has yearned to get a normal life back – and despite her best friend Mo’s efforts to the contrary, Donna has almost managed it…at least until the Underworld cracks wide open, scattering chaos and spilling out every shifty force under the moon. Most of them want Donna dead, but some will stop at nothing to keep her alive.
Too bad she doesn’t know which is which.
With death following Donna like a shadow, she turns to her best friend for help. But instead of help, Mo offers only more mystery. And she knows more about the Underworld than she's willing to admit.
Now, Donna must choose: Cling to the mortal world where she feels safe, or embrace the Underworld where her dreams – and nightmares – come true.
One thing’s for sure - doing either one might get her killed in both.

REVIEW
I
had loads of fun reading this book. I can’t believe it was so far down in my
to-be-read pile and it took me so long to get around to reading it. “Midnight
Hunter” is a gorgeous, fun, lighthearted, sassy, sometimes terrifying, quick
read!
I
loved the main characters, but my very favorite character was Mo. She’s fun,
hilarious, super feisty and brutally honest…and she has no problem belching
loudly in public places. The camaraderie between her and Donna is a familiar
one, formed by way only a childhood friendship can. These characters aren’t
just likeable, they’re completely lovable. The dialogue between these two girls will at
times have you in stitches. But I also have to stress here that the further I
got into the story, I found that all is not what it seemed.
As
much fun as it was being drawn into Donna’s world, and breaking out into
hysterical laughter time and again at Mo’s antics, much of the story thoroughly
freaked me out and had shivers running down my spine. You know those movies in
which the cops in a small town go really bad and you can’t turn to them for
help and they’re actually much scarier than the bad guys? This book will take
you right there. And then you’ll get to the parts where some characters start
acting all creepy…I’m getting chills just thinking about it. Really, there will
be times while reading this novel, you’ll check under your bed - just to be
safe.
Bonnie
Bernard’s wonderfully quirky writing style is outright unique. Laced with
laugh-out-loud humor and choc-full of adrenaline-pumping thrills and chills,
the author proves to have a natural knack for taking the reader on a
rollercoaster ride of different emotions.
So
you, you and you! Whether you’re eighteen or eighty one, this book is for you.
Give it a go and then come back here and thank me for enthusiastically for recommending this absolutely amazing five-star read!
