First time in reading this author with the tidbits drawing me in on what lay ahead. It turned out to be a suspense that had many twists and I do mean twists. Rachel finds herself I would say in a nightmare that seems to get larger and bigger but it is her life. This turned out to be filled with more suspense than I had expected which was a plus. Many elements of that sort are weaved in through the story having you always being given a surprise and or a answer. Has a bit of slow every once in awhile but than maybe it is in there to catch your breath.
I liked the characters throughout the story. You were able to envision each one at they were described. It is anything but a normal divorce after 30 yrs of marriage. It hit all your emotions on some level. I enjoyed it having suspense, laughter, hurt… all the feelings which you should have. I found it well worth the read or listen!
Life becomes a rollercoaster for Racheal when, after 30 years of marriage, her marriages, her life, goes awry. So many lies and deceptions, The Hunt kept me in suspense, wanting to know what happens next. Will Racheal survive this upheaval and is there hope in finding love again? Find out by giving this a read…. A scene near the very end brought on some flashbacks; attempt to avoid adding spoilers but as a trigger warning, there is a sexual assault scene near the end. Great narration.
I didn’t know if I’d like this book when I started. The cover didn’t really give anything away but i was mistaken.
The storyline is emotional and it has that shock factor that i didn’t see coming. Rachel and Seth both had a rude awakening.
The book started off slow but as soon as the drama started it kept me turning pages and wanting to find out what happened.
This is a new author to me, but I will certainly be looking out for her work in the future. Rachel is discovering that her 30-year marriage to Seth is not what it seems, and things are changing that she has no control over. This is a good story which in my opinion, is a tad rushed. This story is filled with twists, drama, betrayal, secrets, family, intrigue, suspense, and friendship. I was intrigued and hooked throughout, and I recommend for all.
Rachel lived a life for thirty years that she wasn’t even aware she was living. But once she finds out, how does she extricate herself and find her life and possibly love when everyone around her is crazy wicked. Read this story and find out how love saves lives
How does one stop loving the person they have been married to for 30 years? Rachel has to learn this answer and more after six months of her husband behaving ‘weird’.
This story is quite interesting, it has many twist and turns that left me wondering, if I read correct. I have never read a book by Jacqueline Terrill before and I must say this was a good introduction to her work. The main character goes through many emotions, dealing with all the twists and turns after her life is turned upside down.
I received an e-copy of this book from Candid Book Reviews, and I am under no obligation to review what I have read.
Wow, this caught me off guard, in a very good way. The drama was shocking and emotional from beginning to end. Rachel got a rude awakening but so did Seth, lol. This plot is so entertaining and interesting, has a few shocking mysteries and a little romancing. I am very pleased with having the opportunity to find a new author with a story that is gripping & engaging from beginning to the very end. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.
I loved this book. The characters were amazing, the story has a great twist, and the narrator was wonderful.
I found this story very interesting though the end felt a little rushed, but everything was wrapped up. Rachel was so blindsided by what was happening. She wanted to believe the best of people but got kicked in the teeth. She had so many people on her side, and I loved how they bolstered her optimism. Cole also had his marital problems, but the spark between him and Rachel would bring them together and help each other move forward. I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook for this story, and Becky Brabham did a wonderful job. Each character was given their own voice, giving me a peek at their personalities. I recommend this story.
I received a copy of this audiobook through CBR Services, and this is my unsolicited review.
I don’t usually read/listen to this type of book but I figured what the hay might as well try it. The story starts slow, I almost gave up. I decided to keep going to see what happened. There are twists and turns that will surprise you, seems almost like a mafia family. I love snow storms! The narration was good. In the end most of them got what they deserved.
I received a copy of this book from StoryOrigin for an honest review.
I received an audio copy of “The Hunt” from Jacqueline Terrill in exchange for my honest review, and here it is. This is the first book I read/listen from Jacqueline Terrill and it is a nice story. Warning: theirs a section were theirs a rape attempt. It is a very different take from your stories out there. The Hunt is like two stories in one, with lots of twist, the one you read about how one marriage is falling apart, but at the same time you see her falling for a man that is going throw a similar situation. You can really feel what the main female character Rachel goes throw. At times I was frustrated and how the females just did not fight back or were ok to be treated bad. Overall, I recommend you reading this book. The narrator does a great job, with some sound effects.
The Hunt
This story has several twists in it before the end, some parts I found a bit difficult to follow, but overall it was alright
I truly enjoyed this book, until the flashback in the middle. I was disappointed to have the tone change so quickly to past sexual encounters between two of the characters. Up to this point there had been nothing to lead me to think this might be coming. These encounters do lead to the characters involved taking certain actions which drive the storyline, but they did not need to be described to have them play their part in the book. Luckily this is a very short section of the book and I was able skip over what seemed to be blatant description and get on with the story.
I liked the main character, Rachel. She is down to earth and wants the best for everyone, even those that don’t deserve it. She wants to save her marriage and truly tries until she realizes there is no way to do so. She is also willing to keep on living and loving rather than getting caught up in a miserable state of second guessing her every action that seems to follow many after such a discovery of betrayal.
The narrator has a fun accent and I enjoyed listening to her. She does a pretty good job of using different tones and voice inflections to designate different characters.
Talk about twists and turns. This one will keep you guessing right up until the end!
Poor Rachel. She had a day from hell… actually make it at least a week from the pits.
