VAMPIRE HUNTER (Knights of Black Swan Book 8) Kindle Edition

by Victoria Danann (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 934 ratings
Danann writes a love letter to the sexy vampire hunter, Sir Rammel Aelshelm Hawking, in this retelling of My Familiar Stranger from his point of view.

The young prince of Irish elves is misfit for palace life. When he runs away to the wild magic of the New Forest, he's adopted by the residents of a village lost in time. On a stormy night a veteran Black Swan knight finds his way to the hunting cottage deep in the forest and recruits Ram on behalf of The Order of the Black Swan, an ancient and secret organization of vampire hunters and paranormal investigators. The story covers the tragic death of his first partner and the unforgettable sigh-worthy romance with his second partner, Elora Laiken. The details and insights of events as seen through Ram's eyes lend breadth and depth to this tale beloved by paranormal romance readers.

If you think you can't get enough of the Knights of Black Swan, don't miss this addition to the catalog. Get your copy TODAY and find out why readers have called it sexy and edgy, amazing, awesome, adorable, and elftastic!

Lightning Room Reviews...Oh, Rammel Hawking.

I'll admit that I was hesitant to read this at first. Because I truly did not think that a re-telling would do justice to the perfection that is My Familiar Stranger. Even if that re-telling gave me an excuse to read an entire book in Ram's voice.

And just like Victoria Danann always does, she proved me wrong. She took this story that I've been in love with since the very first sentence and expanded it, and my love of it. We get hints of Ram's childhood throughout the Black Swan series, sometimes even whole chunks of it. But nothing like this. And we never get the kind of insight into what makes this persnickety, sarcastic, brazen, ridiculously sexy elf tick, that this book delivers on a silver platter.

Danann is a craftswoman of the caliber that no matter what she writes, it's always worth reading, if for no other reason than the way she strings thoughts together and the words she chooses to do so, are just a joy to experience. But this one? This one is flat out, unapologetic fun. I grinned through the whole thing, even when there were parts of the story about which there was little to smile.

An author is at their best when they are reveling in the pure joy of writing. And Danann does that with everything she writes. But this one, this one goes just a few dozen steps above and beyond.

So, dive in and fall in love with The Knights of the Black Swan all over again.

"QUEEN OF ALPHA MALE CHARACTERS!" - Slashed Reads

Victoria's signature humor ("Everybody was staring at me because I was on the subway in fits of laughter and couldn't stop!") creeps into each and every book whether she intends it or not. But the heart of Victoria's books is romance, the real kind that often begins with slow burn then lasts and lingers like a charge in the air. Forever.

The rich characterizations and quirky personalities that readers so often comment about come from being a lifelong student of behavior - casually (love to people watch), and a serious student of behavior academically. She has also studied comparative religion, myths, and Dark Ages history.

Victoria lives in The Woodlands, Texas with her husband and a very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.

    Rammel Hawking is one of my favourite characters in the Order of the Black Swan series. He is a combination of tenderness, strength, and mischief. What can I say? He is one gorgeous elf. I didn't think I could love him more. I was wrong. This book reveals even more facets about this man.

    While most of the story unfolds from Ram's point of view, we also get chapters that are told in other voices - Lan, Liam, Storm, and Kay. We finally get to meet Lan who was Rammel's first partner and best friend. At the beginning of the first book, MY FAMILIAR STRANGER, the knights are mourning Lan's death. Now we can truly feel what a great loss that was for the team and especially for Ram. From Liam's POV, we get to see Ram as the wild, rebellious child, what he might have become without Liam's help, and how he has grown up over the years. From Kay and Storm, we get to know the loyal, fun-loving, and sometimes exasperating Ram. Of course from Storm we also see the conflict when the two become rivals in love. Best of all we get to see many of the events we loved from the first books through Rammel Hawking's beautiful eyes. It adds so much to learn his background and to watch his courtship of Elora from another angle. How wonderful it is to watch Elora's discovery of chocolate and the many uses of a tooth pick from Ram's perspective.

    This book could be read on its own, but it becomes so much more if you also read the whole Order of the Black Swan series. They are so well written and exciting, it is a joy to read each and every book. I came to really love and care about the characters and to look forward to every new story in the Order of the Black Swan series. They just keep getting better and better. Thank you, Victoria Danann.

    Victoria Danann is a brilliant writer. To say I loved this book is kind of an understatement. I have read My Familiar Stranger 5 times & Listened to it on audio 3 times. Vampire Hunter is Ram’s tale of MFS. So I knew what was coming. Being told by this Mischievous Elf was fantastic. While I was reading this story, I actually Laughed out loud. I snorted, I had tears rolling down my face. At one point I was sobbing. I knew what was coming & it still affected me this way. Those who know me know that I am an Engel Storm fan. Rammel Hawking has always had my attention, But Sir Storm had my affection. After reading this book Ram is very close to Sir Storm now. His deep abiding love for Elora shines thru in this book. If you have not read My Familiar Stranger, I suggest you get that book & read it 1st. I read some passages to my husband. It is great to be able to share a good book. This is mostly told from Ram’s POV. But there are some places that are told from other’s all are male.
    One quote I would like to share. “ We were passin’ by a tight alleyway, when I heard a muffled yell. The others kept walkin’ ‘cause they had no’ heard a thing. I guess elf ears have a value beyond good looks.” ..I love that ELF!!!
    Please grab your copy today & start reading. You will not be sorry. Another 5 star read from Victoria Danann. Now go get your book and start reading. From a Forever Fan… Pam James.

    I got mesmerized with this story Vampire Hunter. When first read My Familiar Stranger I would have liked to know more about Ram, how Liam died and how was that Ram got Elora when Storm was a better choice. I had no good image of him with his lack of seriousness. This Ram’s POV was fantastic. We had his story since he was a child. Got my answers, loved his character and liked the berserker more with his good advices. Ram’s narrations were full of emotion and the author made me think about how difficult his life had been and I kind of felt in love with him. I was discovering and understanding Ram’s personality, his emotions and motivations. I laughed with his comments and exploits, was sad others times but at last was very happy for him. I was so deep in the story that I can’t stop reading. Have read all the books in the series and each time I’m more satisfied with this stories that make my imagination soar. I can’t wait for the next book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Unnecessary
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I actually finished this book the first time a couple of days after I bought it. Unfortunately though, I was not impressed with Rammel after reading this, which was really disappointing because Ram was my favorite in the series. I was leery of giving this 1 Star, so I just waited... Now almost a year later I've finally re-read the story, and while I do feel better about Ram overall, I still absolutely feel this story was a waste of time. There were some good tidbits about Rammel's life, but quite frankly, I didn't need the reminder of his womanizing ways nor how wonderful he finds himself. Like I said, it wasn't as harsh the second time around, but I agree with another reviewer who said this book caused Ram to lose his glamour.

    I might have given the story 1 or 2 Stars for it's total lack of necessity or addition to the series, but it was still very well written - as I come to expect from Ms. Danann. Overall I'll compromise and go 3 -3.5 Stars overall. I won't let it dissuade me from the rest of the series.

    If you have read the series Knights of the Black Swan you know most of how this story plays out. I was kinda leery of reading a book in a series about events that had already happened. But I am really glad that I choose to purchase this book. It adds another layer of depth to the continuing story. As one of the many who have fallen in love with this series I hope it goes on forever. This books tells the inner thoughts of Rammel. Who happens to be one of my favorite characters within the series. You just have to smile at some of the things he does and says. The author takes you through his life and we get to see what made him such a great Knight. Thank you Ms. Danann for another great story.

    It's not often you get to read from a male's prospective, I really enjoyed reading from Ram' s point of view the way he was feeling and the emotions he had was sometimes funny but enduring.
    What got me most about this book was remembering all the things they went through to come to wear they are now. It has me wanting to re-read the series over again which isn't a bad thing.
