Review: Hunter’s Heart – J. D. Tyler

A group of former Navy SEALS, the Alpha Pack is a top secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers combating the greatest dangers in the world. And when the battle gets personal, their wild side is unleashed….

Ryon Hunter sees dead people—spirits that beg him for help in ways he can’t understand. He’d do anything to end the torment, until a beautiful spirit appears to him with a plea he can’t ignore: Help me…I’m alive. The woman is wildlife biologist Daria Bradford, mortally wounded after encountering a white wolf, calling to Ryon through a rare Psy gift.

When Ryon locates Daria in the Shoshone National Park, it is almost too late, but nursing her back to health at the Alpha Pack compound brings a new complication—Daria is his destined mate, and Ryon is afraid of what will happen when she discovers what he is, and what he had to do to save her life. But the biggest threat of all is still loose in the forest, leaving a merciless trail of death behind it. The Alpha Pack goes on the hunt for the mysterious white wolf, determined to stop the murderous rogue… only to find that the most lethal creature of all is the one they can’t see coming…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Hunter’s Heart is the fourth installment of J.D. Tyler’s Alpha Pack Novels, and she doesn’t disappoint as she tells the story of Ryon Hunter. Ryon’s gift is the ability to see dead people, although their constant need for assistance in ways he can’t understand often seems more like a curse. When he hears the voice of Daria Bradford, a wildlife biologist studying wolves in the Shoshone National Park, he almost ignores it until he realizes she is very much alive and in need of his help after being attacked by a rogue white wolf. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Daria is his fated mate, and his extreme measures of saving her life may actually push her away from him for good.

I liked Daria, she was a no nonsense, intelligent, independent woman who made her own way in a tough and often lonely field. Her logical but caring nature made her a match to Ryon, and she really tried to make the best out of a bad situation. Ryon is a courageous and honorable person, whose loyalty extends to Daria without question after he helps her during her initial rescue. The search of the white wolf, which leads Ryon and Daria deep into danger as they try to solve the mystery of her attack, only enhances the action packed plot. In true J. D. Tyler fashion there is suspense, mystery, and romance as well as a surprising twist at the end that leaves you wishing for the next novel.
