My Review:
Hunter’s Revenge is a gripping crime novel, from a great new author. Although this is the second book in the series I felt that it could be read as stand alone as everything you need to know is explained.
Firstly I loved the close knit detective team. The descriptions of their interactions together were lovely to read about and it was truly lovely to see how much they cared about each other. They all have their own problems at home to deal with but come together so well to solve the case as a well oiled machine.
I did like the main character Hunter. He seemed like a very competent detective who was willing to work with anyone, even his enemies, in order to solve the case. He seemed a bit of a cop with a heart as his obvious emotions at finding out who the victim was were quite touching to read about and I liked how he seemed to respect his colleagues.
This was a tension and drama filled crime book that was a very intriguing read. There were lots of twists and turns in the story that were quite surprising at times and left me wondering who the murder was, which definetly kept me on my toes.
This is the first book by this author I have read and I will definitely be going back and reading the first book in this series.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
