***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.***
Being a half-demon is dangerous. Now more than ever, especially for Erin.
Trying to figure out how to escape her demonic heritage couldn't be harder, with her best friend being enchanted by a complete jerk, the only man she loves pushing her constantly away, and headmaster Randall making strange demands. Coping as best as she can, Erin survives several dangerous situations and unravels dark secrets that shows her more than before not everything is as it seems, or as everyone thinks.
Rey has to protect Erin even if he has too push her away but they keep getting pushed together by Headmaster Raymond and now two students have gone missing and before its all over secrets come out two people will die and I will have to make a deal with Professor Crimson can my life suck any worse I just thought the deal I had with my Demon Father was bad even though he's dead I'm still having to make deals and the only thing I want I can't have Erin.

After being left hanging like that at the end of the first book, obviously, I read on with the series and this book didn't disappoint.
Caught up Erin and Rey are both now "slaves" to the headmaster, Randell.
Rey, throughout the entire book, tries to deny and ignore the bond he and Erin have formed. He is very much stuck in his own way and feels undeserving. While trying to distance himself and hide his feelings, he is continuously getting caught up spending time with Erin as per Randells orders.
This book has more aspects of denied romance than the first, and throughout the whole book you just want to scream at Rey for being so stubborn.

Rey has been released from his contract with Asmodius, only to be pulled into another with Randall, along with Erin. Their soul bond also flaring to life, he does everything he can to protect her - which includes making her hate him. Erin is trying to navigate her way through her new life, and all the new information she has about her true history, all while struggling with Rey’s rejection and coldness. As she tries to move on, and he tries to protect from afar, things become more and more entangled as her history comes for her, and their lives are thrust further into danger. A good continuation of the story, with plenty of action, intrigue, and slow burn romance.

The Hunter Secret is book two in Juliana Haygert’s Rite World: Blackthorn Hunters Academy series. This book picks up where book one left off. The demon prince, Asmodeus is dead, but Rey and Erin are bound to Randall by deals that they have made with him. Randall has his own agenda and he fully intends to use Rey and Erin to further it one step at a time. Rey and Erin are soul bonded, but Rey feels that by Erin being around him that she would be in even more danger. The question arises – can he keep his distance? But the bigger question is – what is it that Randall is doing and what is his ultimate goal? There are lots of secrets and hidden agendas swirling and danger lurks at every turn.
The Hunter Secret is engaging from beginning to end. Between the push and pull going down between Rey and Erin as he attempts to resist his pull and love for Erin; to Randall and his dark secrets this book is hard to put down. The further the author pulls me into this story the more I like Randall less. Let’s be real though I really didn’t like him from the beginning, the more I learn…the more I want someone to expose him. Friendships are even tested in this book as Erin’s friend Claire falls for a guy who then starts to show her a different side of him. Now, I quickly develop my suspicions, but the author still manages to catch me by surprise when the truth is revealed. There is so much going on in this book and new characters are being drawn in as well.
There isn’t much that I don’t like about this book. I’m disappointed that the Hunters only want to see things the way that they want to. I wish that they were more open-minded, but I understand that this how they have been raised and taught all their lives. I will admit that there were a couple of times where I honestly wanted to smack both Erin and Rey upside the head. Haha! I’m ready for Rey to get his head out of his butt and understand that Erin is in MORE danger alone than she would be with him. At least with him by her side, she’d have a fighting chance at survival. Hopefully, he gets a clue sooner than later.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. There is a lot of drama, tension, danger, threats and hidden agendas going on. You know that things are only going to get tenser as the storyline goes on and I’m eager for more. I’m anxious to see where things go from here as Rey is finding himself between a rock and a hard place. What path will he take? If you’ve read the first book and enjoyed it then I highly recommend you grab this book and start reading!
