A Cold Day in Hell (Hellcat Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 472 ratings

The City may be calm, but is the Hunter about to become the hunted?

For the first time in months the City is peaceful, so peaceful that Gabi’s suspension from the Societas Malus Venatori doesn’t feel like a punishment. Her relationship with Julius is stronger than ever and Kyle has finally found his soul mate, even if he seems to need some convincing. Gabi thinks boredom is her most serious problem. She couldn’t be more wrong.

The visitor Julius has been both expecting and dreading arrives, bringing with him dire news. An old enemy, out to destroy them, has revealed to the Masters of the Vampire race that Gabi is a Dhampir. The visitor’s presence also answers the question that’s been simmering in Gabi’s head for years; the truth of her origins. This truth brings with it a deeper understanding of the implications of her very existence, and she doesn’t like what she discovers. But it’s too late to change what’s been done and Julius must now answer to the Princeps’ Court.

As Gabi makes plans to leave the City, drawing danger away from friends and family, a dark prophesy by the Magi Oracles forces her to change course. She will not be leaving the City alone, and she will not be running from the threat. She, Julius and a handful of others will be heading straight into the mouth of the beast. They must present themselves at Court before the Princeps travel to the City and inadvertently uncover one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Magi world.

While the Princeps wear a face of impartiality and civility, what boils beneath the surface is a storm of selfishness, greed, lust and perversion. Danger lurks in every corner and it soon becomes clear that someone is determined to ensure that Gabi will never get the chance of a fair hearing.

Old friends and old enemies do what they have always done best, while new friends and new enemies emerge at every turn. Only one thing is sure; it’ll be a cold day in Hell before Hellcat goes down without a fight.

Put the coffee on and warm up your page-turning finger, it’s going to be a long night.

This is a full length novel.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sharon has been calling herself a writer since she was eight years old. She wrote her first auto-biography at age ten. As a teenager, she was teased about being a witch, because she wore lots of black and walked around with her black, Oriental cat on a lead. She never disagreed too loudly, after all, that may have drawn attention to the herd of unicorns that lived in her back garden.

Born and raised in South Africa, she has called New Zealand home since 2008. Her life consists largely of looking after her husband, two kids, three cats, a dog, a pony and a horse, but her working day is spent writing, and her occasional hours off usually include books, horses or a glass of good red wine.

Though she has had many jobs over the years, her favourite is, without doubt, being paid to write about the characters who take up residence in her head. After an early foray into writing for children, Sharon discovered Urban Fantasy; the genre that felt as though it had been created with her in mind. She loves nothing more than to create strong-willed, female lead characters, who challenge those around them almost as much as they challenge themselves.

Sharon also loves animals of all shapes and sizes. She has owned all the usual suspects one would keep as a pet, and a few more exotic ones thrown in for good measure. She spent her teens working at a tourist farm and animal park, and as a result has handled everything from porcupines and warthogs, to ferrets and hedgehogs. She has been surrogate mom to many orphans including; kittens, lambs and an eagle owl. No matter how hard she tries, animals always seem to steal the limelight in her novels.

    It took me 1/8 through the book to remember the previous books. It kinda clicked into my memory what happened when I settled down and read it. It's not easy refreshing your memory when it's been a long time between the series and having read a lot of books in between.

    There was never a dull moment in this book, it's action packed and fast paced. There were enough interactions between HelCat and Julius that would satisfy your heart since some urban fantasy romance tend to leave out the relationship aspect and usually the heroine dominates the action scenes most of the time.

    This book has the right combination of romance and kick a** action. There were tense and exciting moments between the couple that you feel their love for each other, each one not ready to fully open their hearts to being vulnerable-enough said.

    I hope the next series shows how powerful Julius is becoming and I hope it's his turn to fight off the dark magi.

    Hellcat worthy read with characters of substance that hold the readers interested in so many ways. Reminding me of Anita Blake, Dark Hunters series, Jaz Parks series or The Mageverse series a little bit of all but a stand alone series in its self. Sharon Hannaford is making her own nitch in urban fantasy with shifters, vamp and any other immortal characters brought into the mix.

    Excellent book! Author kept all 3 books very exciting. Fast paced and action packed. I totally agree with one of the reviews "There were enough interactions between HelCat and Julius that would satisfy your heart since some urban fantasy romance tend to leave out the relationship aspect and usually the heroine dominates the action scenes most of the time."
    Anxiously waiting for the next book.

    I love this series, and I especially enjoy the relationship between Julius and Gabi. And how could you not love razor and all the mayhem he causes. I will say though that I find Gabi to be an unfit mate for Julius. She's cold, and can sometimes be a real B****. Julius has earned her trust, and has shown her nothing but love and support. You think she'd give him the respect and trust he deserves??? uhhh no not likely. Sigh...but other than this the book was an enjoyable read.

    This is a great series that just makes you want more and makes you feel like your a part of the team of characters. Have to give it five stars, no doubt! Well written and just an all around great read! Can't wait for the next one! For those paranormal action book lovers this is definitely a series for you. Enjoy!

    What a fantastic book, this was without doubt the best one yet in the series.
    I loved every word.
    I was kept enthralled and wide awake until I finished the book at just gone 3am, and then when I awoke this morning before I'd even got out of bed, I found myself thinking about the storyline about what had happened and what might happen next.
    I hope the author is busy writing the next book, because I'm going to be hopping from foot to foot in eager anticipation awaiting book four.
    Please write fast Sharon Hannaford.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2013
    I was not the least bit disappointed although I did hate the wait :-)
    So we continue on the story of Gabi and it leads off the last story where we meet who you called call Gabi's sire and the whole vampire council and the politics of playing with them.
    I hope in future books to see and learn more about Benedict as he seems like a very interesting character .
    All in all and too continue with the series I give this ********** out of 5 :-)
