Midnight Hunter (Midnight Hunter Trilogy #1) by Bonnie Bernard
Review by Anne
Oh man I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to read the complete series of The Midnight Hunter by Bonnie Bernard, and then when it arrived on my doorstep I couldn’t open it up fast enough!!!! My squeals of delight probably could be heard on my whole block. So pretty and breath taking just to look at and then when you start to read the first book in the trilogy you just don’t want to put it down. THANKS SO MUCH BONNIE *angel hugz n luvz* luv ya girl.
When I started this book I thought “ok I’ll read a couple of chapters”, and then get back to my other book that I had already started to read.. but nope I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely loved it! A very unique look into the underworld and vampires, that will clinging to the edge of your seat just enough and for long enough to have you plunged straight into the next book.
Feeling different than other 7 year olds, Donna has always felt self conscious of her feet, or her toes to be exact. Until one day her Grandma sat her down and explained about why her toes are the way they are, and what it means. Toes like Donnas are proof that a beautiful goddess watches over her and keeps her safe so she can fulfill her special destiny. Making Donna, feel special instead of weird. (I sure miss my Grandma’s wisdom)
5 years later Grandma shared more of her wisdom with Donna. “Someday you’ll meet two men,” she told her. “One will sweep you off your feet, the other will knock you down.” Both from a very dark place where we as mortals dare not go.
Donnas is destined to be filled with many surprises, will she be ready to handle them?
9 years ago Donna lost her brother in a car accident at the age of 6 years old, and ever since then she has had a fear of cars driving to close. Her mind set now was to always watch out for terrible surprises!!
Things started to happen; almost being rear ended by a blue Toyota, the car then follows her home.
Dreams start to creep into Donnas’ sleep, more like nightmares if you ask me. Of being in a dark forest; smells that she knew, but one also of something else! Fears of not being the only one in the forest fills Donnas mind as she comes into contact with something. What was it? What ever it was INHALED. It grabbed her wrists, pulling her close. The smell of rotting flesh and hate, yes hate!! Wait a minute; does HATE even have a smell? It/he was tall and its skin looked like the rotting smell that she had smelt, and its eyes looked like death!! The scariest part though was that it/he knew Donna… plus the incident that had happened earlier with the blue Toyota. Bringing up memories, which she would rather not relive this soon after them happening.
Is this the man who “sweeps” her off her feet, as her Grandma had mentioned? Or the man who, “knocks” her down? This all a dream; or is it?
Then there’s Mo, her constant best friend a vital part of her whole life. Crazy as she is. Dragging her to a Teen night club named “The Darkside”.
Running late for school and to pick up Mo because her car is broken down, she nearly runs down a young girl named Samee as she backs out of her driveway.
So now we have Mo and Samee.. More weird things, Samee knew who she was without Donna telling her. Hmmm
Dang there’s that blue car again, why does it keep popping up?? It was down the road from Mo’s house, as she was picking Mo up for school. Now it was in the school parking lot.
People are going missing, girls who resemble Donna, and nobody in their town seems to care. Not even the police department or the Mayor of their town, WHY? And now we have the Mayor, Michael St James… where did he come from? What the heck is going on?
Time to go to the The Darkside, while waiting in line Donna sees that blue car pass by again, ughhh why was that car always around?
Somebody’s watching Donna, she could feel it. Like eyes starring at the back of her head. She couldn’t see who it was or might be. Not even the waitress could see anybody behind Donna, but see thought a guy to Donnas left was. She pointed to where he was standing, but he was gone when Donna looked around, poof!
Donna then saw him, and oh my goodness was he handsome. “Go home”, he warned her. He disappeared into the darkness again.
She yelled at him, to have the blue car stop following her!
Fast forward: Hunter is the mysterious guy from The Darkside night club and he is Donnas Eternal mate and his evil brother Stephen who keeps killing Donna, only for Donna to reincarnate once again.
Dang it, I’m doing it again. Giving away to much! I know there are so many questions that remain unanswered, or that you are saying, wait I need to know the answer to that. I guess that you are just going to have to get this series and find the answers yourself!!!
If you love Demons, the underworld, Vampires and all things scary then this book/series is a MUST READ. And I mean it when I say must read. Go get your copies of this amazing series and dive into the mystery and suspense that awaits you. But I must warn you, you will not be able to put these books down.. Start early, cause you are definitely will be staying up way into the wee hours of the next morning. Only to wake and dive right back in.
Recommendation: YA and up
