Marika Korzha has dedicated her life to eliminating any vampire she can find. She seeks one in particular- the vampire known as Saint. She is unable to resist a deal to capture a vampire named Bishop, as she is told he will lead her to Saint. Little does she know that her meeting with Bishop will change her life....
Bishop is not like the other vampires Marika has met. Instead of seeking to attack and kill the innocent, he seems to want to protect. Is he playing a game with Marika or is he truly different? Bishop will have to do everything within his power to demonstrate to Marika that he isn't the monster she envisions all vampires to be.
NIGHT OF THE HUNTRESS is the second book in a series. It is easily read as a stand alone as the circumstances of Bishop's conversion are explained through the eyes of Marika, who is unaware of his history with the Blood Grail.
Kathryn Smith really hits her stride with NIGHT OF THE HUNTRESS as she begins to fully flesh out the hints of a conspiracy first seen in the first book. The background behind the individual who hires Marika is fascinating as it unfolds and kept me riveted to the pages of the book. The conclusion is powerful in its intensity and leaves me wanting to read more of this series just to see where Ms. Smith intends to go with it.
Kathryn Smith takes the vampire legends and puts her own clever spin to them. Unlike the first book which focused more on the romance aspects, NIGHT OF THE HUNTRESS features more about the vampires, particularly focusing on the vampire slaying and the secretive association opposing Bishop and his friends. NIGHT OF THE HUNTRESS is easily recommended for fans of the vampire paranormal genre.

Night of the Huntress by Kathryn Smith is a nicely done different take on the world of vampires. Action from beginning to end, wonderful romance and a more Holy background on the beginnings of these vampires is what makes this book worth the read.
Marika Korzha is a Romanian vampire slayer. She's tough, ruthless, beautiful and schooled but what is different about her is she's a half ling vampire. Unsure of her complete background history because of her mother's death during childbirth and her father's and grandmother's unwillingness to discuss the matter, Marika seeks out to destroy the Vampire who is supposedly responsible for her childhood misery.
Bishop is a six hundred year old vampire who is handsome, kind and not at all the stereotypical monster that people think vampires are. He is one of five vampires of the true blood and is hunted by a religious order set to see just what makes him so special.
The story centers around Marika and her village as they slay these monsters with a vengeance. Her band of men do not realize that she is half ling and thus proves to be a problem much later in the story. Unfortunately for Marika, she is being duped as a decoy for the real vampires by a religious order with a twisted background.
Bishop is drawn to this town per request that he look for a friend who has disappeared without a trace and it is being blamed on the Huntress. Caught unaware by Marika, he is captured, tortured and questioned about another one of his brothers named Saint who is the one that Marika is really trying to destroy.
The religious order involved is twisted, evil, destructive and will do anything in it's power to try and reclaim the Blood Challis of Lilith. What makes this item so desirable is the power that it provides to those who drink from it.
I found the author quite inventive with this storyline and I love the use of a religious icon in the developing of a pure breed vampire. Even though this is quite a bit of romance here, the delightful background history makes the story enjoyable enough to zip right through the book.
This is the second book of the series and I am not quite sure that it is a stand alone as I haven't even looked up the first book to see what it is about. Will check it out one of these days when my tbr pile dwindles
