So Hunt begins with us learning about how Freya ended up where she is and with her foster parents. When you first read this you are little confused because you are not sure what it is all about. From here you jump to Freya being in high school and you get a look at who she is. YOu learn she is a sarcastic and quiet teen who is considered on the spectrum. I think that her powers have something to do with that. Kind of like Percy Jackson series. We saw most demi-gods were ADD and ADHD because of the powers from their god parent. I think here is the same except We don’t really know what Freya is. We don’t know much about her dad or mom. You do get the feeling that they were important and powerful and so is her grandfather from the prologue but nothing else. Her bestie Damon and his family have a big role I think in Freya’s story as well.
Damon and his uncles I fell in love with. They were fun and yet serious and they were very protective of Freya. Damon has no problems with Freya’s personality and in fact defends her alot. You can tell though that he has some secrets he is holding back on telling her even as he learns of Freya’s powers alongside her.
Freya, as she learns of her powers, has a ghost that is in her teacher’s body to help her. It is odd when you first see the interactions. The ghost helps Freya begin to learn about the world she is starting to come into. To me Alice, her ghost, is very slow in teaching her and I think this is because of all Alice has seen happen. She is overly cautious. But I like her because she is genuinely trying to keep Freya safe.
Unfortunately she cannot keep her safe from whatever is stalking Freya. It begins with her just seeing the red eyes. I like the slow burn of the book and how things play out in an organic fashion. NOthing is forced but flows. The story and characters are addicting and entertaining. Watching Freya learn of who she is and seeing her use her powers and feel more comfortable with them is awesome to see. A great beginning for the series that leaves you smiling but with questions that you can’t wait to be answered.
Great unique characters, storyline and you will be at the edge of your seat so engrossed in the twist that was both interesting and well thought out.
Starting a new school is tough enough without discovering magic and that demons are out to get you.
This is the first book in the author’s YA urban fantasy series. Our heroine is just discovering all those things her parents never told her, but to her credit she rolls with the punches and gives as good as she gets. It is refreshing to find a heroine that doesn’t disbelieve everything that is starring her in the face.
The story is well written and easy to read. There are quite a few twists and turns along the road and you might find yourself a little confused at a couple of junctures, but then that’s how the heroine is feeling as well, so it fits. Fortunately, the action will pull you forward right to the very end. There is much more to learn in this world and I am looking forward to the next book.
Recommended.
