Vampire venom runs through her veins. But in her heart, she’s vowed to kill every last one of them. 

Lone hunter Amanda burns for revenge. After years of torture at the hands of the bloodsucker king, she’s determined to destroy the creatures who enslaved her. But a pitched battle with her tormentor ends in a stalemate and leaves her alone in the wastelands—grievously wounded. 

Rescued and healed by a mysterious stranger, Amanda and her new ally set off for the last fortified human city. But when she learns her old nemesis plots to raze it to the ground, she fears she won’t arrive in time to prevent the massacre. 

Can Amanda find her way to the town before a rabid feeding frenzy decimates the inhabitants?

Standing on the porch, of the ramshackle house, my gaze stays locked on Mathesis’s shadowy silhouette.
The clear skies overhead allow the radiance of the moon to splash over the vapid lands. It isn’t much, but enough for me to work with.
“Then come claim your prize, my sweet Amanda.”
His red eyes linger in the darkness. His voice taunts me, and whispers softly in my ears, trying to distract my thoughts, so I succumb to his devilish desires.
His minions growl and taunt me as well. Pairs of distant red eyes shift within the veil of night on my left and right.
I twirl the Kukri machete in my hand. If I have to plow through his legion of dead to have my blade taste Mathesis’s flesh once more, then I shall do it without pause.


A young woman Amanda has vampire blood running through her veins. She was a personal blood bag for the leader of a vampire clan, Mathesis for many years until the day she escaped. He took her as a child and fed off of her for many years never allowing any other vampire to feed from her.

After her escape she met a stranger, Lucian whom she teamed up with to hunt and kill vampires. They were on their way back to the city to a place that Amanda calls home for the moment when they learn of a vampire clan close by and that the vampires is planning on entering the city to wipe out humans or take control of them and the world.

Tainted Hunter is an introduction into a brand new world of vampires. Tainted Hunter follows Amanda and Lucian as they hunt for the vampires den while at the same time come up with a way to infiltrate their den upon arrival and try to figure out a way to stop the vampires as well before it is too late.

Amanda and Lucian race against the clock and the vampires to the city to warn the humans of the vampire’s intentions and hopefully save a lot of lives at the same time. Can they reach the city before the vampires? Can they save the human race from becoming extinct?

Tainted Hunter is filled with lots of action from the first page as Amanda and Lucian fight vampires and raiders alike. Tainted Hunter is a blood bath of goriness with enough twist and turns and suspense to keep the pages turning. Once I had Tainted Hunter in my hand I couldn’t put it down until I had turned the last page and even then I was crying out for more. I can’t wait to dive into the next book Crimson Thirst in The Huntress Bane Series.

I recommend Tainted Hunter to all vampire fans with lots of action and lots of vampire killing.



Crimson Thirst 
The Huntress Bane Series Book 2


Her hands are happily stained with monsters’ blood. But slaying the horde’s leader may require joining the creatures she loathes… 

Though her vampire heritage fosters mistrust, half-breed hunter Amanda fights for the humans in this fateful war. So when bloodsucking fiends breach the walls of mankind’s last fortress, she ignores the city fathers’ demands and creates a trail of undead carnage. But even she is stunned when a rogue vamp battles by her side to repel the invasion. 

Convinced this mysterious traitor could be the ally they need to turn the tide, Amanda embarks on a dangerous quest through the wastelands to learn who he is. But with her quarry holed up in a vampire stronghold, there’s every chance she’s walking straight into a trap. 

Can Amanda survive treachery and manipulation to tip the scales of this conflict, or will she be lured to her death? 

Crimson Thirst is the savage second book in the Huntress Bane dark fantasy series. If you like gutsy heroines, apocalyptic landscapes, and page-turning action, then you’ll love Derek Shupert’s heart-pounding tale.
