I must admit, it has been a long time since I was so enthralled reading a book. It has everything needed to keep one reading. Ancient evils, animal protectors, Hunter warriors. Shades of Buffy, Anita Blake, Highlander etc, all mixed together to create this book. I couldnt put it down. Finished reading it in one day. The action is well written and well paced. Romance is also well done. No part of the story was bogged down, as some books tend to do, by going on to long on one part of the story. The writing is rich in fantasy, and keeps ones intrest locked in, as it seems each page brings something new to the scene. The characters are well filled out, allowing one to relate to what is going on, and enabling an affection to grow for all of them, even some of the evil ones. It has everything you could hope for in a vampire-magic-monster-demon story. I am hoping and praying that there will be sequels to this story. There are so many directions this story could go, there could be several spin-offs. I cant say enough good things about this book, other than it is more than worth buying. I am planning on reading it a second time, and I rarely EVER do that!!

Mark Haeuser takes his training as a police officer, Swat team sniper, and martial arts expert and turns it into a very exciting read. HUNTERS OF THE SHADOWS is about a group of vampire hunters who literally decimate hundreds of evil vampires and their human minions to save a young girl and prevent the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.
Creed is a thousand year old Gypsy prince, his life extend by gypsy magic so that he might fight the undead. For hundreds of years he has fought alone, but in this battle he won't be alone. Selma is a gypsy witch, destined to be his mate and to bear the next prince, if she survives. Jake is a martial arts expert and weapon collector who becomes caught up in vampire hunting when he buys the wrong, or rather the right weapon, a magical sword that turns him into a Vampire hunter. Then there is Taz, the alley cat, a cat but not just any cat, but one of the ancient Trillii warrior princes, who from the time of the Pharaohs have protected mankind from the undead. Then there is Father Joe,
not your ordinary Catholic priest, but trained in exorcism and other means for dealing with Satan's minions.
And perhaps the oddest ally, Creed's long time enemy, Lord Rasmere, a 2000-year-old True Blood vampire, who chooses to fight with Creed against the upstart Vampire lord Pakur, the new breed of turned, not born vampires, who seek to destroy the old order and take over power of not only the vampires, but the whole world.
This book is non-stop action. It reminded me of CAIN by James Byron Huggins, another action / adventure story with lots and lots of fighting as the heros struggle to save the world from Satan's power. What made this book for me was the richness of detail. Not just the fight sequences, although they are very detailed and I am sure accurate. You certainly could picture the action. But the backgrounds of the characters, their history,
their lives, and the use of legends. The characters are well defined and different from each other. Jake is a wise-cracking modern man, Rasmere a likeable bad guy, Taz, definitely the arrogant cat, and Creed is just tortured enough. It is in fact loaded with interesting characters, men, ghosts, and demons.
Tthe writing is vivid and well done. I enjoyed Hunters of the Shadows.

Haeusers story is a real page turner!The surprise twists and alot of action promise to keep you up reading all night! His characters are hard to resist, true to their great loyalties of their ancestors,and venturing into anything and everything and with great senses of humor that made me laugh out loud!"Creed", Jacob Reid and "Rasmere" are unforgettable characters that I would love to see in the next "Hunters" book!
