As the newest demon hunter, Costa Calabrese has a lot to contend with when the portal to hell opens up in his backyard. Aided by his constant companions, Talisa and Paralay, they must face evil in many forms. But what happens when familiar faces become your opposition? Will love be enough to conquer evil?
Demon Hunter: Seek and Destroy is the second book in the Demon Hunter series by Cynthia Vespia. It’s action packed with demons, zombies, dragons, werewolves, hell hounds and even Satan himself.
Costa Calabrese seems to be somewhat reluctant demon hunter dealing with the hand that fate dealt him. He, along with his companions Telisa and the Elven Paraly have set out on a journey across the sea to find and kill the Dragon Sark. However their sea voyage is cut short by a tsunami and they are blown off course and shipwrecked on an island.
This is where the action really gets going. Once they land on the island they encounter evil in many forms , zombies and shape shifting demons to name a just a few. Costa’s fighting skills and the wisdom passed down from his demon hunter father pull them through from one adventure to the next.
Costa and Talisa develop a romantic relationship and Costa’s fear of losing love now that he has found it leads him to challenge the Dark Lord and confront his own personal demons in the process. He must come to terms with his fate as a demon hunter in order to find happiness in himself and his personal relationships.
A fast paced, thriller with surprises at every turn, I found this book difficult to put down once I started reading. If you enjoy an action adventure story with a dark edge and lots of supernatural creatures you will certainly enjoy Demon Hunter: Seek and Destroy.

About Sophia (FV)
Sounds interesting – did you read books one first? I always find it difficult to get into a book if it's out of sequence. I haven't read anything by this author, not sure if this would be my thing or not. Thanks for the review FV
For some reason when I read "Dark Fantasy" it makes me think the book will be depressing. What do you think about this genre..you like?
BCC-While this genre is a bit out of my "reading box", I did enjoy it. This is not a genre I will seek out regularly, but trying something different now and then is nice.
SHB-I used that description because that is how the author described it. I think it's accurate although there was nothing overly gory and this certainly doesn't fit into the horror genre. I didn't find it depressing at all, and I enjoyed the romance angle as well.
This sounds like something I'd enjoy! On to the TBR list!
