From NYTs and USA Today Bestselling Author Kym Grosso…a novel in the IMMORTALS OF NEW ORLEANS series.
Hunter Livingston’s trip to Hell had been a calculated risk. Best case scenario, the Alpha would save a friend and come out unscathed; at worst, he’d burn in flames for eternity. But finding the high priestess had never been part of his plan, nor was rescuing the near-dead stranger he’d … stranger he’d found lying by her side. Drawn to the mysterious woman, he’d sworn to protect her from the rogue pack who sold her into Hell and the demon who sought her soul.
With royal blood flowing through her veins, Dr. Willa Jacobs had long hidden her Lycan heritage. Deep within the rainforest, she’d unearthed a discovery that drew the attention of both humans and the forces of evil. Rescued by the charismatic Alpha, she’d known her kidnappers would never give up looking for her or her research. As the dominant Alpha stirred her beast to rise, her emotions warred, and she was more determined than ever to see her adversaries burn in Hell.
From Wyoming to Louisiana, Hunter and Willa spiral into an erotic and dangerous journey where they question who is foe or friend, and must fight to destroy their enemies. As Willa grows closer to the sexy Alpha, will she divulge her true nature, embracing the strength of her abilities? If they survive, will Hunter claim his mate, accepting the hellfire that runs through her veins?

Hunter is author Kym Grosso’s tenth book in her Immortals of New Orleans series. This paranormal romantic thriller is packed with action—both in and out of the bedroom!
Hunter, the alpha shifter from Wyoming, is mysteriously able to navigate the portal to Hell in order to rescue a friend of a friend. The sexy shifter has quite the presence. Viktor, the ancient vampire trapped in Hell, possess the same old-world charm as his vamp pal, Quintus. As with prior installments of the series, the heroine is a special breed of paranormal creature. Dr. Willa Jacobs might seem the damsel in distress when Hunter finds her beaten and tortured in Hell, but she is a force to be reckoned with once she heals!
Willa and Hunter’s push-pull banter about mating and pack protocol is expected yet fun (intentionally vague so there are no spoilers). Willa is the strong heroine that fans of Ms. Grosso’s series have come to expect. This fast-paced book is easy to devour. The lies and intrigue make for an addictive thriller. Ms. Grosso’s stories can be read as standalone books, however, each book contains references to characters and events from prior books (just as each epilogue has an intriguing lead in to the next installment).
The paranormal aspects of the story could be perfect for readers of most ages, however, the inclusion of erotica makes Ms. Grosso’s Immortals of New Orleans an adults-only series.
Alpha and his Princess
I don’t know whether to hug Kym or strangle her right now….because that ending…ahhhhhh
Anywho, this story was fabulous. Imagine having to go into Hell to rescue a friend and stumbling upon a woman, who is your mate? Yep, I can’t imagine it but it happened to Hunter when he goes in to rescue Viktor…..and they find someone else of interest in Hell too
The storyline is great, the characters are well developed as per usual and I absolutely love Willa….she brings a bit more bad@ss to this series I’m looking forward to finding out more about Viktor and also Julian, I just hope it’s not a year before the next one comes out
Another fantastic book in this series!! It’s like I never left this author’s world because from the first page I was sucked right back in. And oh my goodness!! Hunter goes to Hell with one objective in mind- to rescue Viktor, but he could not pass up the opportunity need to bring two more stowaways. Hunter and Viktor’s verbal sparring was absolutely hilarious. The banter back-and-forth between these two had me in tears. But it gets serious when rogue demon wolves are still chasing Willa. I absolutely love seeing the great Hunter Livingston falling for his mate. Willa comes with some big surprises for just being an “ordinary” she-wolf. Will all of them avoid being sent back to Hell a second go around? I can’t wait for more of this series! I highly recommend this book!!
HUNTER is the tenth instalment in Kym Grosso’s adult IMMORTALS OF NEW ORLEANS, erotic, paranormal/fantasy romance series. This is Alpha wolf shifter Hunter Livingston, and ancient Lycan Dr. Willa Jacobs’ story line. HUNTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order, especially the last few instalments, for backstory and history as there is an ongoing premise throughout.
NOTE: There are some scenes of violence and MFM sexual situations that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual third person perspectives ( Willa and Hunter ) HUNTER follows in the aftermath of Willa, Viktor Christianson (ancient vampire) and Ilsbeth’s (High Priestess of New Orleans) rescue from Hell. One week earlier, Viktor Christianson has been attacked by demons, and Hunter opened the gates to Hades in an effort to save his vampire friend but Hunter had no idea what he was about to uncover. Viktor was not the only supernatural imprisoned by the Demons. Enter the High Priestess of New Orleans and many a supernatural’s bane of existence Ilsbeth, and Dr. Willa Jacobs, Hunter’s fated mate. While Hunter took care to save Willa’s life, Viktor offered to shelter Ilsbeth upon her return to Earth. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Hunter and Willa, and the potential fall-out Willa, Hunter and Viktor must return to Hell in an effort to procure Willa’s freedom, and that of her brother Julian.
Dr. Willa Jacobs is much more than she appears to be. An ancient Lycan with powerful magick, Willa is desperate to remain hidden, on the run, from the supernatural beings hoping to use her powerful blood for rituals, rites and food. Desperate to protect the pack, and the Alpha with whom she will fall in love, Willa struggles to stay one step ahead of the rogue wolves who are seeking to take her back to Hell. Hunter Livingston never expected to find his mate in Hell, a mate who is reluctant to submit to our story line hero but Hunter suspects Willa is hiding the truth behind her imprisonment in Hell, a truth that could very well end up destroying her life.
The relationship between Willa and Hunter is one of immediate attraction. Hunter suspects Willa is his fated mate but Willa refuses to place Hunter and his Pack in danger as she is hunted by a group of rogue wolves who have been tasked to bring her back to Hell.The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense: there is an MFM sexual relationship with Viktor Christianson.
The colorful and energetic cast of secondary and supporting characters include Viktor Christianson, and the High Priestess of New Orleans Ilsbeth; Willa’s brother Julian; as well as several vampires, wolves, demons and fae, many of whom we have been introduced in previous story lines.
HUNTER is fast paced, detailed, industrious and spirited story line that continues to build upon previous instalments. The premise is intriguing, enterprising and engaging; the characters are captivating and dynamic; the romance is seductive, powerful and bewitching.
Wow! Another FANTASTIC book in the Immortals of New Orleans series. I loved it and was hooked from the very beginning. Hunter went to HELL! He went to save Viktor but ended up with so much more. Ilsbeth and Willow. Ilsbeth, at this point, we ALL love to hate this witch. That is both witch and witch with a B. She is up to something and while we know this going in… NO SPOILERS. Willow, she is so much more than she appears to be. I loved seeing the mighty Alpha fall to his mate. Willow doesn’t think she can have a mate and it makes for some very interesting moments. At the same time, Hunter is denying what he knows down in his heart. MATE.
Someone is trying to kill Willow, so not only does Hunter need to keep her alive.. he needs to find out who is behind the threat.
This book kept me glued to it. It sunk its teeth into me and would not let go!
You would think book 10 and a series would start to get boring and predictable. Well not this one! There were several twists and turns that were unexpected as well as some you New were coming.
Hunter ventures to hell to rescue the vampire Viktor and ends up rescuing our favorite witch(NOT) and a female wolf who turns out to be more than just his mate. Is there bond grows so does a different type of bond with Viktor which will lead us into the next book!
Love this series. It keeps on getting better. Hunter will fight hell for his mate and friends. He’s is one sexy alpha. Willa is running from hell. She tries to protect everyone. She can’t fight alone. There is so much action in this book. I couldn’t put it down.
Alpha wolf Hunter Livingston made a very risky trip into Hell to rescue a Vampire friend. He comes back with two extra people, and a big problem that will take his attention away from his responsibility to his pack.
Dr Willa Jacobs is a wolf who has deliberately lived away from other wolves. There is a little something extra in her blood that makes her a target and a danger to anyone who tries to help her. That’s why she must get away from the Alpha who rescued her from Hell.
This is an action packed, sexy story. Our super sexy Alpha will protect everyone he thinks needs him, even when they say they don’t want his help. Our very amusing vampire loves nothing more than sticking his fangs in other people’s lives. Our heroine will have a very emotional journey through this book, and learn a lot about herself.
Lots of bloody fights and danger for everyone. Knowing just who to trust is also a problem.
Although this is part of a great series you can easily read it as a stand-alone. I have read all of them and loved each one. I assuming the hero of the next book will be someone who played a big part in this one. I can’t wait to read it.
Very exciting.
This is the tenth book in the series and it can be read as a standalone but due to the mention of characters from previous books, I recommend reading the entire series in order. Prepare to be entranced from the first page as Ms. Grosso takes readers back into the fantastical world of the Immortals with Hunter’s story. Nobody wants to go to Hell, let alone a second time yet the bonds of friendship task Hunter with returning there to save Viktor. Never in a million years did Hunter anticipate finding a beautiful woman, Willa, who would heat his blood along with the High Priestess Ilsbeth of New Orleans. Willa is one of the ancients who has royal blood flowing through her but has had to maintain secrecy with regards to her true heritage. However, when her research experiment goes awry, it unleashes consequences that put her in peril. Will the demons capture her again or can Hunter protect her? Will Hunter find out the truth of Willa’s nature? This is one all-encompassing read filled with intrigue, steam and the thrill of adventure. I love the flow of the storyline and the banter between Hunter and Viktor. This is one that you need to one-click and download immediately! Before I forget, the epilogue….OMG, you will just have to pick it up to find out! I cannot wait for what is coming next.
