Book Review: Hunted (The Tinder Chronicles #2) – Alexa Land

When the vampires began to band together to eliminate the hunters and hunt in packs, Tinder found himself at a significant disadvantage, with his chances of survival appearing grim.

As one of the most revered and notorious hunters, he became a primary target for these vampires and found an unexpected ally in the form of the sexy and mysterious vampire, Bane. Things became complicated between them when they both succumbed to their overwhelming attraction. It was revealed that they shared a complicated history, and things could potentially become seriously complicated for Tinder.

Wow. I absolutely adored this series! The familiar snarky banter between Tinder and Bane, combined with their undeniable chemistry, was simply irresistible! Despite Tinder’s continued recklessness, it was evident that things were getting serious between him and Bane. I also enjoyed the unofficial love triangle involving Lee. It was like choosing between Team Lee or Team Bane, and I’m definitely rooting for the non-human! This is not your typical “gay” Twilight; it’s wickedly funny without being ridiculous. The whole vampire fiasco, leading to Bane’s confession when he kidnapped Tinder, was a standout moment in the series so far.

This is undoubtedly one of the best vampire stories I’ve encountered in this genre. It’s worth every penny and every moment of my time! I absolutely loved it, and I’m sure many others will too!

Book Review: Tinder (Tinder Chronicles #1) – Alexa Land

Tyler, also known as Tinder, was raised to hunt and exterminate vampires, making him one of the most skilled hunters in the field. Typically partnered with the equally skilled Texan hunter Lee Halstrom, Tinder’s life takes an unexpected turn when vampires begin to hunt in packs and daywalking vampires unsettle him. Amidst the chaos, Tinder finds himself rescued by Bane, a mysterious vampire who always seems to cross his path but never with the intention of killing him. Sensing something amiss, Tinder is determined to uncover the truth.

I found Tinder’s character to be immensely captivating! The story unfolds entirely from his perspective, and I found his personality incredibly refreshing. His dry humor, witty banter with Bane, and relaxed demeanor made for an engaging read. This is something many authors overlook when crafting their protagonists – Tinder isn’t your typical vampire slayer. He’s rough around the edges with hints of OCD, intensely focused, yet harboring hidden depths.

Initially, I was put off by Tinder’s promiscuity, but it quickly became apparent why he behaves that way. While Lee is a solid character, his lack of charm seems intentional, as Bane is clearly the perfect match for Tinder. Their love-hate dynamic, especially from Bane’s perspective, added an extra layer of intrigue to the story. Even the vampire-human couple, Nate and Nikolai, introduced in the preceding story, added depth to the narrative.

This first installment is a short yet satisfying read, setting the stage for Tinder to question the unusual occurrences involving his mortal enemies, the vampires. It also sets up numerous plot points for future installments, promising an exciting continuation of the story. I highly recommend this book if you’re seeking something refreshing, fast-paced, and delightfully witty.
