Winchester Jackson has been trained for one thing most of his life. To be a hunter of paranormal beings and destroy them if needed to protect the innocent. He and his brothers are considered to be "The Chosen," the prophetic brothers that are destined to prevent the arch demon, Rathe, from opening the Gates of Nyx and destroying the world. Winn has tried to leave that all behind him by becoming the sheriff of Bodie until Contessa Alexandra Porter walks into his life with an offer he can't refuse.

Alexa is on a mission to help Winn retrieve a portion of the Book of Legend that has been split into three parts before Rathe opens the Gates of Nyx. The Contessa is beautiful, sexy and extremely dangerous because she is a vampire and Winn has to suppress his instincts as a hunter to work with her. During their travels, Winn and Alexa face shape shifters, demons and other paranormal obstacles in their quest to retrieve the book. The attraction between them grows with each passing day until they begin to wonder what they will have to sacrifice for the possibility of having a life with another.

The Slayer was a great thrill-ride and I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved the aspect of Winn and Alexa working together because they had this wonderful connection with one another even though the idea of them collaborating would seem laughable to some. These two characters were exact opposites that should have been mortal enemies on sight but they were able to join forces and were surprised to discover that they weren't so different after all. Both were strong, independent people who were doing things based on routine and a sense of duty when their heart wanted them to lead another path that wouldn't be accepted by others in their life.

Alexa was the perfect heroine who thought that she had seen everything but never had experienced the true meaning of love. She was able to fight side by side with Winn and hold her own in any situation which was unthinkable for any woman at that time. In the end, she was faced with some very tough decisions to protect the one person that she loved and it was touching to watch her accept those decisions without a second thought to the consequences.

I liked Winn from the first book, The Hunter, but he became my favorite Jackson brother in this one. I fell in love with him along with Alexa and I could definitely see the attraction. Turning his back on everything he was taught to try to live a "normal" life only to learn that life doesn't always let you take the easy path when you are one of The Chosen. By the time this story came to an end, Winn had finally accepted being a hunter along with his brothers because it brought him closer to Alexa.

I loved the steampunk world that Ms. Meyers created with The Legend Chronicles series and I am excited to see how she finishes this race against time with the arch demon, Rathe. I suggest that everyone pick up The Hunter first because it will help with the storyline but this is a great book on its one and I can't wait to read Remington's story soon.

The Slayer The Legend Chronicles Theresa Meyers 9781420121254 Books Reviews

Winchester Jackson is the oldest of three brothers who were trained by their father to be Hunters. They hunt the Darkin and keep humanity safe. Except, after a serious incident shakes Winn up he turns his back on Hunting and becomes the Sheriff of Bodie, California. Until the day Contessa Drossenburg, Alexandra Porter comes looking for him. She needs his help in locating a third of The Book of Legend and as one of The Chosen he can help her find it.

Winn and his brothers scoff at being The Chosen, but they can't let any of The Book of Legend fall into the hands of the Darkin. The Gate of Nyx between Hell and Earth is weakening and a demon named Rathe is determined to come through and enslave Earth. In order to close the Gate and save them all the three brothers need to unite the three pieces of The Book of Legend to close the Gate. It's a race against time and Darkin. Will the brothers be able to win even as they don't believe in the Legend?

This is Book Two of The Legend Chronicles and I was just as swept along as I was with the first as they raced to find a piece of the Book of Legend. Winn and Alexa are interesting characters and the fact that she is a vampire and Winn is a Hunter made it even more interesting to see them overcome their differences. The story flowed smoothly and the plot was excellent. I look forward to Remington's book 'The Chosen' due out March 5, 2013.

*My thanks to Kensington for providing me with a review copy. Please see disclaimer page on my blog.
Book Two in the Legend Chronicles series focuses mainly on Winchester Jackson and his part in the quest to retrieve sections of the Book of Legend.

Book Two actually overlaps certain sections of Book One. We see parts of Book One that were originally told from the points-of-view of both Colt and Lilly, rewritten in Book Two and told from the points-of-view of Winchester and his vampire companion Alexandra.

The story begins in the Wild West, outside of Bodie, CA sometime in the year 1883.

Winchester (Winn) Jackson is the oldest Jackson brother. Because of events that happened when he was younger, Winn gave up the life of a Hunter some 10-years prior. Winn harbors a horrible nightmare from his youth. The event helped him decide that fighting Darkin wasn't worth it. Too many people lost their lives, including those that ever became close to a Hunter.

Lady Alexandra (Alexa) Porter, Contessa Drossenburg, emissary of His Vampire Imperial Majesty, Emporer Vladimir the Fifth (how would you like to try and fit that on a business card?!) is sent to solicit the help of the The Chosen. The vampires' 2nd third of the Book of Legend has been housed in the royal vampire castle for several years but was recently stolen. The vampires fear that if Rathe allows the Gates of Nyx to be opened up, vampires will become extinct due to the demons taking control and murdering, kidnapping, or enslaving the very thing that sustains them ~ Blood from humans.

The electricity between Alexa and Winn is unmistakable. As much as Winn tries to deny it, his feelings for her grow at an alarming rate throughout their time together. Alexa has a hard time believing that she's drawn to a mortal as strongly as she is. She hasn't felt this way about anyone in hundreds of years. I love their connection. The fact that they are natural enemies (human vs predatory vampire) creates a long dialogue of "should we, or shouldn't we" scenarios that leave Winn and Alexa frustrated in more than one way.

The ultimate quest to locate the stolen piece of the Book of Legend takes Winn and Alexa on some crazy and dangerous adventures. Uniting against the common enemy (who would be Rathe~The Demonlord) isn't easy for either the human or the vampire. The human was trained to kill the vampire and the vampire was trained to eat the human. While Winn and Alexa don't entire trust one another, they manage to unite into a solid front and work together.

Theresa Meyers' world building continues in Book Two, taking us to an entirely different continent, in search of Part 2 of the Book of Legend. We get to watch Winn morph from a Wild West Sheriff back into the fighter he was trained to be by his Hunter father. The character development continues as well since we get a whole new set of characters to add to the few from Book One. There are just as many references to steampunk in "The Slayer" as were in "The Hunter."

As I noted in the Book One review

This novel has a great combination of Steampunk, Romance, Adventure, and Paranormal elements.

I enjoyed "The Slayer" very much and will be starting Book 3 soon.
