My heart beats furiously in my chest trying to keep up with the pace I have set.I am running as fast as I can but it is pointless. They will catch me. I am only delaying the inevitable, postponing my fate if you will. I know what will happen when they catch me. It’s the same ending every time. Still, I push my legs as fast as they will go, my body aches from the exertion. I can hear them behind … from the exertion.
I can hear them behind me.
They are closing in.
This is part of a twisted game.
The goal, to catch their Prey.
Me.
I am the prize for the Hunter.
I am the Hunted.

“You can run, but have no doubt, you will be mine.”
The Hunted is the first book in The Killing Hours, a three book interconnected series by Christy Anderson- and WOW, what a fantastic read this has been. I have read this book several times since it’s release last year- and each time is just as enthralling as the first! Ms. Anderson has a bold and sexy style that really lent itself to this darker romantic suspense. She has delivered an original, very well written, polished, vividly descriptive, and exciting read. To be honest, I was completely hooked before I’d even finished the first few pages- totally seduced by what I was reading.
Raven Wyatt left everything behind to search for her missing sister. She’s found herself in a situation she never expected- and may be in over her head. She’s surrounded by hunters, and she’s the prey- the hunted.
Knox Bane is a complicated man, with several specialised skills. He’s mysterious, dark, and dangerous. He’s had his eye on Raven for a while now- she’s the prey and he’s going to enjoy the hunt!
This story is intriguing, suspenseful, gritty, dramatic, emotive, and tense. It’s packed full of secrets, betrayal, a battle for survival, and so much more I won’t divulge here so as not to spoil it for you.
There were flashbacks added to the story which help to build the backstory as well as character background. I was completely invested in the character’s right from the beginning- I needed to know how their story would play out. I really felt for Knox and what he’d been through and endured. There were some very emotional scenes that really ripped my heart out. The danger, tension, chemistry, twists and turns were all choreographed brilliantly. Making this a story I won’t soon forget.
I can’t wait to find out more about Ace, and Lazz!!!!
I highly recommend this book!!
Addictive reading!
Thank you, Ms. Anderson!
“What would you be willing to do to save someone you love?”
What a journey! Wow.
I’ve been waiting for so long to read this story and it’s finally here; I still can’t believe it.
Raven’s quest lands her straight into the middle of Knox’s domains and now, she’s got his attention.
And she’s pretty confident that’s far from a good thing.
Knox knows that too but, for some reason, he just can’t seem to stay away.
And so it begins.
Just believe when I tell you: you will not want to miss a single second of this emotional roller coaster.
I wish I could give away more than that, but then I’d have to kill you.
Just kidding. But it’s that I’d threading in spoiler territory and then it would be YOU wanting to kill ME.
So let us leave the killing for the qualified ones and just revel in what can only be described as one of the best, darkest, most powerful and suspenseful stories I’ve read all year. Maybe ever. It’s perfect.
I can’t wait for the next books and to read more about the men from this world.
Yeah, you read that right: I said “men”.
Ahh, see? I told you you wouldn’t want to miss this.
So go on, Little Birds. Go and see for yourselves.
