Summary: 5 Stars
"...a taut, well-paced romantic thriller that will leave you desperate to read the third and final book in the series. Hunt it down in the shops now!"
Miranda Moore is no ordinary woman. Twelve years ago she escaped from a serial killer, The Bozeman Butcher, but her best friend, Sharon, wasn't so lucky. Neither were several other young girls from the local college who he hunted and tortured for fun. In an effort to control her life and deal with 'survivors guilt', she enrolled with the FBI under the watchful eye of her mentor and lover, Quinn Peterson. But when he forced her out of the programme because he felt she hadn't joined the FBI for the right reasons, Miranda never thought she'd see Quinn again. Not that she wanted to, after how he treated her.
However, with The Butcher still on the loose, and holding another victim captive, Miranda felt compelled to assist in her capacity as a search and rrescue specialist. She owed it to the victim's families, her dead best friend and perhaps her sanity. Unfortunately she is still vulnerable, and before long Miranda and Quinn are reunited and their old feelings resurface. Is it now too late to return to how they were? With the killer back on the scene, and Miranda his latest quarry, they may never have the chance to find out.
When I picked up this book I wasn't sure what to expect. How could it be as good as The Prey, Ms Brennan's debut book? Nothing could beat that, or so I thought. As you can tell, I was not disappointed. The Hunt, the second book in this trilogy is just as good. In fact, in some ways The Hunt is even better. Allison Brennan has yet again pulled out all the stops to create another gripping masterpiece. As an entertainer she knows how to pack a punch!
From the meaty dialogue to the thrilling, nail-biting plot, Allison sends her protagonist and all those who are dear to her to hell and back several times. Readers who love to hear gruesome details from inside a serial killer's mind, whilst peeking inside the forensic investigations as they unravel hidden clues, will be enthralled by her talented storytelling capabilities.
Also, if it's love you want, there are some great romantic and tender scenes to keep you happy, too. What a plot! It is obvious that a huge amount of planning and thorough research has been undertaken to produce such a believable and exciting story. I could quite easily imagine this being made into a film or a TV drama series. I only hope we get a chance to see it over here in the UK! This is a taut, well-paced romantic thriller that will leave you desperate to read the third and final book in the series The Kill, coming soon!
