About this item

What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?

Before that night, there wasn’t much in my life I could complain about. I hunt rogue demons for a living, which is the coolest thing ever, and my brothers are the best. Sure, there was that thing with our parents betraying humanity, and okay, I wasn’t thrilled when my brother-bestie hooked up with a demon, but everything else was amazing.

Except that Dylan, the person I love more than anything, wanted to keep our relationship secret.

I got it; I really did. He’s lost all his family, and he was afraid if my family adopted him, he might lose them too. It’s not like we’ve got the world’s safest jobs. I was sure he’d change his mind eventually.

That decision was taken from him one awful night. Now, everyone knows, but Dylan’s more worried about the people trying to kill me. Unidentified and vicious; that’s all we know. Oh, and they hacked The Collective’s server.

How does a demon hunter fight a virtual threat? He doesn’t… that’s his kickass techie boyfriend’s job. Dylan will find these people, and then we’ll deal with them.

Even if there is more going on than we know about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dyl and Matty find happiness after adventure
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024
Loved this!! I loved the Ghostly Guardians series and the Collective has blown it away! Higher Demon was amazing and Demon Hunter followed suit. We got an intro to Dylan thru Higher Demon, though it was small. You can’t dislike this guy. He’s awesome and just perfect with Matty. These two just work, especially with how tight Ian and Matt are. These characters would be tough to have relationships because they have such an incredible friendship, but Marc and Dylan work for them.
The book has a different mystery/adventure to solve as their relationship continues to firm up. They need to solve another potential demon on earth issue that has endangered Matt. It brings Marc and Ian in to help. Loved the story and seeing all the characters as well as the wit. Once again, I laughed. More than once! I did tear up a couple of times too…be warned! I will start re-reading this weekend! <3

We love a secret romance! It was so cute to read about Matty and Dylan’s courtship. I really loved learning more about Dylan. He’s so smart and adorable and great match for Ian’s brother-bestie. Together they are goofy in love but truly care for each other and that shines bright throughout. Those two had me laughing and smiling the whole book.

As always, Louisa writes an intriguing mystery and pulled me into the world so easily. A great read and I can’t wait to get the next in the series.

Super special shoutout to the amount of Marc in this book. Truly some of my favorite lines from both series. *chefs kiss*

I’m obsessed with this series, and I really hope we’ll see more of The Collective! Both books so far have managed to make me smile and laugh out loud. Demon Hunter especially with Matt and Dylan, and the way they love each other.

It’s super clear that they were friends first, because in many ways, their great friendship really shines through, add the love and spice and we have a really solid and respectful relationship, which was great to see. But as the plot moves along, the doubt and insecurities appear as well.

Dylan isn’t ready to be official, which causes Matt to doubt Dylan’s love for him, but he respects his decision nonetheless. Later on, Matt is struggling with something that has happened to him, keeping it from Dylan, which causes insecurity yet again. It was very sweet how they were looking out for each other, though they were sometimes being idiots about it, but like, in an adorable way. You know what I mean.

The plot kept me hooked throughout the book, and I wasn’t able to guess what came next, so that was very refreshing.

I loved that Marc and Ian were a big part of the book as well. I think I could read a whole book with Marc just insulting people. I hope to see more of Raum, he seemed like an entertaining character as well. And the appearance of Mr. Romance aka Liam made me laugh out loud. It was pure gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Marc' my words... you're gonna love it!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024
I adored this book so much! Matt and Dylan are just the smartest fools in love?! They are in a long term relationship (in medias res as it were) when we start, but it's a secret. When Matt gets injured on a demon hunting job, the whys and consequences of that secret are tested... in heart wrenching ways! Like I wanted to cry at 8% y'all.

When it turns out Matt's injury wasn't an accident, the plot TWISTS a lot! And it was so unexpected, and heavy! I was not prepared. (Check the CW for enslavement/ab*se.) We get lovely resolution on Matt/Dylan with set up for future books in the series.

I love the world and characters, and crossovers/cameos we always get in a Masters book. While you could read this without reading Higher Demon or Spirited Situation Ghostly Situations quartet. I wouldn't suggest it, the layers of family/friendship in this defo requires Higher Demon for sure. We get SO much Marc (Demon MC from HD) in this book, and I loved it! Some people might not like his snarky, superior, but secret softie ways... but they're wrong! I love him! <3

Masters is an auto-buy for me and I devoured this book! I would have happily read another 300 pages if she wrote them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second in paranormal romance series, new couple, great characters, great chemistry, great snark!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024
Demon Hunter by Louisa Masters is the second book in The Collective series, and it was touching, gripping, amusing, and captivating! Matt and Dylan are such a fantastic pair, taking you on a real emotional rollercoaster ride of a journey, full of quips, banter, and sizzling chemistry.

Matt is a curmudgeon with a marshmallow center and it's so endearing.

Dylan is snark personified with a whole lot of love to give, if he lets himself.

There's drama, trauma, friendships and relationships blossoming, and a whole new level of mess for these people to figure out. (Marc, don't come at me for saying people, please!) The inherent trust, love, and faith, even when shaken, is beautiful to witness, and put a smile on my face, even as I sighed, swooned, gasped, and squealed.

Totally another fantastic addition to this world, and I am so intrigued to see where these characters take us next!

P. S. Loved getting more of Ian and Marc, and other familiar faces!

P. P. S. More Gus and Raum, please and thank you!

P. P. P. S. Hey there, Mr. Romance!
