Review

Hunted is about a young woman named Yeva (her nickname is Beauty) that has grown up hunting with her father, but when he goes missing in the forest chasing/hunting a magical creature, she heads off to find him. But once in the forest the magical creature begins to hunt her and she has to use all of her wit and hunting skills to outsmart it. This is an interesting take on the classic Beauty and the Beast story. There is lots of action and twists throughout the book and the Beast is more haunting. The middle does seem to slow a bit and may cause some readers to lose interest. But the ending is clever and worth reading through to the end. Fantasy readers that like fairy tales will enjoy this one. Very good

Overall Book Score: very good
