We’ve stumbled into a situation I’m not sure we’ll find our way out of. We’ve done something that may result in the end of our race across the country. Our race to safety.But safety is an elusive dream. I can’t see it or touch it. I’m not sure it exists. But what else are we to do? What else is there to reach for? The ravaged have taken over our home and threatened our survival. All we can do is … can do is run, and search, and pray we find a place to rest our heads.
But we’re nowhere near finding it. If it’s not the ravaged, it’s other threats that keep us from finding anything to hold onto.
Psychos, biters, misguided intentions. Our own demons mocking us. We’re being hunted. Chased from all directions. All we can do is continue this never-ending race for survival and hope nothing catches our tiring strides.
But we’re tripping over every obstacle and barreling into every wrong decision.
Because this isn’t the end, but it feels like we’ve already lost.
This story ends in a cliffhanger

So this is the third book and though I did enjoy this it was rather short in length and didn’t really progress much from the last one.
Also, I do think the Finn story arc is a tad far-fetched in regard to him following them halfway across the country.
A-I just can’t see it and how it would be possible for him to be doing all this him being one person and all.
B- We are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse I think most people would just be trying to stay alive not acting all stalker psycho and all.
But anyway Fin is still hot on their tails and obsessed with Jay’s girl and of course, it’s poor Willow fault again give the girl a bloody break sigh.
So after being run out of town by the zombies, the group are again on the road.
But caught in a storm and a standoff cause the group to scatter with consequences that find Willow stranded alone in the middle of a horde, man Jay is gonna be so pissed.
Though this one wasn’t quite as enjoyable as it’s predecessors probably because of the short length.
It was still a solid read and I’m looking forward to concluding this series with the final book.

While Hunted was a very enjoyable read I am sad to say that I wasn’t as into it as I was with the first two books in the series. It had what I desire in books for sure; drama, romance, suspense and good characterization. However, it felt like it all was over with a blink of an eye with little progression from where we left of in Thrive.
All books in this series has been rather short, but it hasn’t been as obvious as now. Even if Willow and Thrive were quick reads they had a lot happening in those few pages, making them feel like full length installments. Hunted however, well, I didn’t feel like anything really happened or progressed until the end of the book. Sure, they had some trouble with the ravaged and the locals in town, as well as a certain psychopath, but this was handled so rushingly that it didn’t give much impact for me in the story. It was mostly just the twist with said psychopath that had a bit more depth and added a bit more complications hooking me to the plot.
The dynamic of the characters and the tension between a few was also dampened in Hunted compared to the previous books. It was still there of course, but once again rushed through. There was also a lot of name dropping making it difficult to follow who was who in the group and it didn’t seem necessary since the names dropped weren’t even of consequence to the story. I understand that it is not easy writing the story about such a large group and involving everyone. That’s the thing tough, I am really only interested in the more involved characters; Willow, Jay, Daliha, Billy, Ren, Paulie and a few others. There really is no need to try to mention or describe any more characters that isn’t going to have a bigger part since it then only becomes messy and confusing.
That’s not to say that Hunted was messy in any way. It was mostly just the name dropping that made it confusing. Overall it was built up very well with good twists, tension, drama and sizzling moments between Jay and Willow along the way. I had just wished for more depth and more complexity, that’s all. And I do feel that Hunted is deserving of four stars at least, especially with such an ending to the book. I can’t wait to see how Willow will find her way out of her conundrum, how Jay will react and if Paulie’s mistrust/dislike of Willow will finally bubble over.
