This book was wonderful. Its actually two books in one. The first one is "One With the Hunger" Its a vampire book,one of my favorite. This is also the first book in a series. The hero is Val, a mysterious, dark, gorgeous, hunk of Vampire who has found his mate. Shai Jordan is a quiet, hardworking woman. She has a wonderful group of very excentric friends who only want her happiness. They decide she needs a man. And guess who is very willing to fulfill those needs. You guessed it, Val. There is more than just hot sexual attraction between these two. Both are tracking a killer, someone who is ruthless and pure evil. I really enjoyed this story and my only complaint would be it was too short!

The second story is "Retribution". This is the story of Shai's and Val's friends Jennifer and Conor "Mac" MacNaughton. In this story we find out how Val and Jennifer know each other. Also We find that Jennifer and Mac have a past. Its a past that has tarnished their lives and it will take a lot of trust and compassion on both sides to overcome the hurt. Oh and by the way while this is all going on they all must fight against the evil killer who escaped in the first book. We meet several new characters in this book who go on to have their own stories.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good hot vampire book. I do have one question though, do all vampires come from the Carpathian mountains? I know that is where the vampires in Christine Feehan's books are from and so I was suprised to read that Val is from there as well. Must be something in the water.

A great begining to a great series. I've read all of Wilder's books and am anxiously awaiting the latest one.

Will hate to see this series wind up.

What can I say? I'm a big fan of J.C. Wilder's work and the beginning of her SHADOW DWELLER series rules! You will LOVE these books!

I am always looking for a good vampire romance novels. I was excited when I read the reviews for this one. So excited that I bought all three books (and paid almost $60). What a total waste of money. All three books were poorly written. The character development is non-existent. The sex is not sexy or enticing. There is no build-up in the relationships, everybody simply loves each other for no apparent reason. The only thing going for this series is the author's imagination. Don't waste your money of these books!

The first book called One With the Hunter is very strange. It begins good but the characters, Shai and Val just jump in the sack together, then after about 2 or 3 times in her bed she wonders who the heck he is. At the end you have no idea whats going on but somehow she just trust and loves him. Then she just dies, which is confusing because the author doesn't tell us how it came about so fast, then she becomes a vampire and thats it. No real good development of the characters and no real plot for romance, the sex scenes were average, I've read better. Wasn't really worth my time, I won't even read the second in the series.

J C is a personal favourite of mine not only are her books entralling erotic humourous and exciting.. that cover it but she's also very nice person. Originally in electronic e-book format to the printed page is even better.
The 6 stories over 3 volumes covers the story of a group of friends. One with the Hunger is for Shai a and her soon to be vampire lover.. Jennifer and her revenant lover and Jennifer also has a secret .. the story continues into Volume two...
Keeper every one
