This is the second and in my opinion the best of the three in the series
However i did like all three of them as they all had very different story lines and all likeable and believable characters but yet again i felt that it spent too much time on the sex side of the story and i would have prefered more from the murder and detection side of it
I don't mind a bit of romance but being so grafic really wasn't necessary, the story was really very good and could have left the rest to our imagination

Cracking Thriller September 27, 2006
4 out of 7 found this review helpful

I loved this book, and the other two, The Prey and The Kill. All can be read alone but are linked by the main characters. Once I started reading, I couldn't put any of these books down, I read them one after another. They all have romance but this does not detract from the thriller aspect. Keep up the good work Ms Brennan - I look forward to your new releases in Jan, Feb and March of next year.

"...a taut, well-paced romantic thriller that will leave you desperate to read the third and final book in the series. Hunt it down in the shops now!"

Miranda Moore is no ordinary woman. Twelve years ago she escaped from a serial killer, The Bozeman Butcher, but her best friend, Sharon, wasn't so lucky. Neither were several other young girls from the local college who he hunted and tortured for fun. In an effort to control her life and deal with 'survivors guilt', she enrolled with the FBI under the watchful eye of her mentor and lover, Quinn Peterson. But when he forced her out of the programme because he felt she hadn't joined the FBI for the right reasons, Miranda never thought she'd see Quinn again. Not that she wanted to, after how he treated her.

However, with The Butcher still on the loose, and holding another victim captive, Miranda felt compelled to assist in her capacity as a search and rrescue specialist. She owed it to the victim's families, her dead best friend and perhaps her sanity. Unfortunately she is still vulnerable, and before long Miranda and Quinn are reunited and their old feelings resurface. Is it now too late to return to how they were? With the killer back on the scene, and Miranda his latest quarry, they may never have the chance to find out.

When I picked up this book I wasn't sure what to expect. How could it be as good as The Prey, Ms Brennan's debut book? Nothing could beat that, or so I thought. As you can tell, I was not disappointed. The Hunt, the second book in this trilogy is just as good. In fact, in some ways The Hunt is even better. Allison Brennan has yet again pulled out all the stops to create another gripping masterpiece. As an entertainer she knows how to pack a punch!

From the meaty dialogue to the thrilling, nail-biting plot, Allison sends her protagonist and all those who are dear to her to hell and back several times. Readers who love to hear gruesome details from inside a serial killer's mind, whilst peeking inside the forensic investigations as they unravel hidden clues, will be enthralled by her talented storytelling capabilities.

Also, if it's love you want, there are some great romantic and tender scenes to keep you happy, too. What a plot! It is obvious that a huge amount of planning and thorough research has been undertaken to produce such a believable and exciting story. I could quite easily imagine this being made into a film or a TV drama series. I only hope we get a chance to see it over here in the UK! This is a taut, well-paced romantic thriller that will leave you desperate to read the third and final book in the series The Kill, coming soon!

A Strong Suspense Read! April 2, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

Twelve years ago Miranda Moore escapes a serial killer who tortured her and a friend for days before letting them loose for a sick kick of hunting his wounded prey. Miranda escapes but her friend doesn't. As a result Miranda has made it her life's work to find missing people and to hunt "the Butcher" and to bring him to justice. But, when another body turns up mutilated and dead it's obvious the killer is still active. She's prepared to do what she must to catch him...at least she thinks she is. When Special Agent Quinn Preston returns to help with the case...all of the old feelings Miranda has tried to bury comes flooding back. At one time she loved Quinn-deeply. Will she be able to work with him while trying to stay one step ahead of killer who hasn't forgotten she is the one that got away?

This was a graphic read but not gratuitous in its nature. Ms. Brennan has done a fine job of building the back story between Quinn and Miranda without loosing the tension of the murder storyline. This was a very well rounded fast-paced read. I truly enjoyed the romance between Quinn and Miranda. I look forward to reading this author in the future.
