Token Huntress

By Kia Carrington-Russell

The sun’s light dimmed many centuries before; now in the year of 2,341 rampant vampires now stalk their victims in a half-lit world. Humanity has been overtaken by a new society: one comprised of vampires, the supernatural beings that hunt them, and the remaining humans they fight over. The laws and rules that once bound our world have long since been lost. Now, the Hunter Guild struggle to stay one step ahead of the Vampire Council.
Esmore, Token Huntress, has exceeded all expectations at only 18 years of age. She is fearless leader to her team, and she is relentless in her pursuit of the enemy. There is only one problem: Esmore is struggling to repress the growing darkness that seduces her from within. Esmore takes another step into the darkness when she encounters a teasing, tantalizing -- utterly unignorable -- vampire.
The lines between right and wrong are blurred further as Esmore gives into her temptation, and her reality becomes deliciously tainted both with evil and with lust.

Reviews for Token Huntress

[lizarobbins · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

4.5 starsAs far as apocalypse stories go, this one took a new direction. I'm glad someone finally addressed the need for a vampire apocalypse! This is sort of a multi-genre festival of delights. With hints of forced societies, vamps, hunters, romance, apocalypse, government conspiracy, and thriller, this book should be at the top of a lot of TBRs! Superb plot, and really lovable characters, it only lost a half a star for some glaring typos that made my nerd-brain twitch. The story was enjoyable enough that I could MOSTLY ignore them.

Kia Carrington Russell amazes me with her work. I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review. Absolutely loved it. Kia takes you into the future with this one. Set in the 2000's the world is not what it used to be. Devistation is the new world. Hunter's have been created to fight off the vampires of their world. They do not feel emotions and hunting down the vamps and secureing the humans to be transported to the camps they now live in are their goal. The Token Huntress is the leader, but still has to abide by the Guild's ruler Head Huntress Miss Campture. Esmore is the Token Huntress and her team of raiders are James, Dillion and a few others. Esmore is different that the other's, her gift never developed after she turned 18, but she is still stronger, faster, and feels a deep darkness trying to overcome her. Campture knows the truth and she will do anything to keep it from Esmore. James has a deep evil need to have Esmore forever. Along comes Chase, a vampire of the counsel who knows Esmore is his familiar and he will stop at nothing to protect her. He saves her when she sacrafices herself to save her team.Together they will discover each other and what Esmore has known her whole life, is now not what it seems to be. The darkness is about to explode within her when Chase is captured and from there all will change. Will they all survive?, or will all she is discovering set her free? A Great Adventure awaits..
