The Final Hunt
I was all in from the start of this one. I could not figure out if she was reliable, if her husband was really dead and who can Cameron trust. Holy cow to find out your husband may have been a serial killer after he is presumed dead. I have no words. That was a great hook. And while my gut instinct was right, I was still glued to my headphones listening to it all unfold.
Stacey Glemboski’s narration added to my enjoyment. I used every excuse I could to find some time to listen.
This is my first time reading this author and it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this one.
The Last Hunt
I had no idea this was a sequel to The Final Hunt as I started reading it. But right away I recognized those characters and I was excited for where this one would head. And even though I am a fan of books being stand alones, I really think this is better with the first one. The plot really relies on a lot from that first book. And with only two books, this is an easily bingeable series.
I really like Cameron and Dane. They have so much history and yet they can keep going. They are a big part of me loving this series. Along with the supporting cast. I wanted to know more and really wanted to root for Cameron to be able to get on with her life,
I am going to be careful so I am not spoiling book one, but the author does such a great job at casting doubt. On everything. I suspected everyone. I would figure it all out in my mind and then back pedal with a new solution. I must have “solved” this one a dozen times. Murders like in book one are happening again and then we find out there have been similar murders over many years. Can Cameron trust Dane or will he let her down like others have?
I was invested from the very first sentence. Seriously. The remote setting is great. Of course there is a storm that hampers travel. (Isn’t there always in remote settings?) I didn’t know who to trust (again). There is tension from the start that carries over until the end. I did not want to put it down.
Leslie Howard narrates this one and lets the story shine. She does an excellent job of expressing the tension and anxiety Cameron faces. She had the perfect voice to fit Cameron and does an excellent job bringing all the characters to life. Even the male ones.
If you love rich characters, a remote location and a pulse pounding thriller, you need to read this series.
