Where do I begin? I have been completely enraptured since I read the first book in the series: Errant Gods. Hank is such a fantastic character, I love so many things about him; his wit, his courage, his love for Jane, his resilience, and finally, his sense of humor. I could go on and on about Hank but the fact is, I love all of the characters in these books, even the characters I love to hate. Wild Hunt gives so much more depth to the antagonists in these stories; it’s a good reminder for life in general. There is always two sides to every story and although I still hated them for what they had done, I found myself feeling a lot differently about Hel and Luka in the end. I was so reluctant to finish this book, it’s almost like saying goodbye to a super cool friend that you have known for far too short a time. I am a huge fan of Erik Henry Vick, he reminds me a lot of my all time favorite author, Stephen King. Erik Henry Vick has a lot of King’s great qualities but provides a breath of fresh air. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t find King stale, I just find Erik Henry Vick different in all of the right ways. I can’t wait to read more of his work! Do yourself a favor, read the Blood of the Isir series, you will be happy you did!

I’ve followed these characters through all of the books and I find this to be a great summation of the series. I loved the ending which left you with closure yet a possibility of spinoffs. I encourage anyone looking for an epic tale to pick up all volumes.

What a fascinating mind trip! Wild Hunt, Erik Henry Vick’s third book in the trilogy The Blood of the Isir does not disappoint! Hank’s journey continues as he and his family and friends continue their quest to hunt Hel and her Champion, Luka and save the Isir. Their quest takes them far and wide, in ways only the author could have imagined. This was a wonderfully imaginative ending to the series. Great job!
An incredible ending to an incredible series. This is a story I was able to escape into, as in escaping to another world where I could forget this place and my problems and just focus on the story world. What an awesome author who created this fabulous story and this one was the best yet!

I absolutely love this world and these characters! This was my favorite book of the series. The pacing was incredible getting to know more and more about the world the forces for and against them and how everything was tied together left me breathless. I’m thrilled that the author left some openings for further tails and spin offs of this book as the ending of this world would be a crime. Highly recommend the entire series! You might want to at least skim over book two to reacquaint yourself with the story so far as book three dives right in where book two left off. I honestly wish more authors would do that as rereading a story summary at the beginning of a story can sometimes be a bit tedious in my eyes.

First off, I love these books. The first was a one-off “sure I’ll give it a try” read, but I was hooked from there. The author has an astounding ability to truly transport you into his world, and the characters are eminently relatable. I got so caught up in the lives and struggles that I found my emotions mirroring theirs. I cried with both sadness and joy more than once during this one. Huzzah Erik for another amazing installment of this series.

Allow a week for this continuation of the saga that began with Errant Gods. Wild Hunt picks up after Rooms of Ruin and can be read as a stand-alone, although that risks spoilers if one then goes back to read the earlier books.
A Triumphant Achievement
Wild Hunt is the astonishing culmination of the Blood of the Isir trilogy.
In the first book Errant Gods, we follow former New York State Police officer Hank Jensen through the back story of his previous encounters with mass-murdering cannibals Chris Hatton and Liz Tutor, who are not at all what they appear to be. After leaving Hank disabled with a curse eight years ago, they return to kidnap Hank’s wife Jane and son Sig, promising they will be kept safe as long as Hank pursues them. The trail leads him to Osgarthr, the realm of the seemingly magical Isir and many other races. Hanks meets and allies with Muehlnir and his family, who share many attributes with gods from Norse mythology. Turns out Hank’s new friends know Liz Tutor all too well in the person of Hel, deposed tyrannical queen of Osgarthr, and Hatton as her consort Luka. Confessing to unfinished business with them both, they join Hank in his mission.
The chase continues through Rooms of Ruin, the second book, where we encounter even more ‘magic’ in the form of applied advanced knowledge, even more daunting opponents in Hel’s service, ever more challenging settings & circumstances, and yet more battles. RoR ends with Hel’s disappearance, her forces in disarray, Luka desperately searching for her, and our party of heroes scattered with some seriously wounded among them.
Wild Hunt begins with the disclosure of Hel’s location and circumstance, and continues the tale of our band pursuing Luka and his new acolyte through ice giants, tricks and traps, scenes of unspeakable brutality and death, even to the far distant past where the catastrophic world-wide war that ended the prior epoch still raged. Along the way, we discover new dimensions where we suspected none, containing creatures vast and horrible, of evil intent.
Throughout the series, Hank gains Isir-like powers as he is endowed with greater and greater understanding of the hidden knowledge that supports the ‘magic’. This ultimately sees our heroes through their travails and ties the bow neatly between Hank’s destiny and the mystery of Osgarthr and the Isir.
Erik Henry Vick gifts us with some of the most imaginative, vividly drawn world-building you are likely to read. The story is inspired and exceptionally well told. The characters, their dialog and interactions are alive and multi-dimensional; they are made more real than some living people seem to be. The sweep and scope of this trilogy does indeed compare favorably to the LOTR and Dark Tower series. It’s that good. Put these books on your MUST-read list and follow the author. He is surely among the very best fantasy writers working today.
This wraps the story up but it takes you the long way around, through an adventure that will leave you sitting back with a deep sigh of contentment. Hank Jensen fights to save his family against beings he thought were just stories. At every turn he is getting his limits tested and then some. After receiving a mysterious scroll that seems meant for only him the adventure just gets deeper. He continues to chase the one who killed his partner back on Earth and as his band of friends continues to grow along with his many skills. The coming trials he and the others will face are unlike anything I have ever encountered and truly enjoy this authors writing style. You want an adventure to test your imagination and then some? This is the series for you.

I’m a huge Erik Henry Vick fan and I was anxiously waiting for this book. It really exceeded my high expectations. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. I love horror/dark fantasy (and revenge based novels) and this one really fit the bill. It’s a very visual tale that really lets you identify with the main character. Honestly, it is the best book I have had on my Kindle in a long while. I’ll ll probably read the series again in a year or two or just go ahead and purchase it on Audible once all the books in the series have been added. I’ve already recommended it to some friends. Keep the novels coming Erik – Gavin
