The Hunter is the first book of LJ Shens new series and let me tell you, it was SO GOOD! It’s a crossover with Sparrow, one of Shens first novels and also my first novel I ever read by her. It was amazing to hear something from Troy again and it was also amazing to see that he didn’t change at all. 😄 Hunter pretty much has all the cliches a hero of a New Adult novel can have. Playboy, gorgeous, money, and all the girls want him. And in the beginning he serves all those cliches. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED Hunter. He has great sense of humor, and the more you read the book, the more you will peal down his layers and find an awesome young man. He‘s loyal to the bone and his personal journey from the beginning to the end is fantastic. Even tho he already had my heart when Sailor had a breakdown and he did what he did to make her feel better. 😍 Same goes for Sailor. She’s full of insecurities, and the journey she did in the book was also amazing. It was a fresh change of things that she‘s into archery, that was completely new to me. The chemistry between Hunter and Sailor was off the charts from the beginning. I adored their banter, how they slowly developed feelings for each other, I just loved everything about them. The twists ( yes, we have more than one ) were amazing, and I haven’t seen them all coming. I was suspecting some things here and there but the way the turned out and how Leigh let them turned out, you can’t do it much better if you ask me. I think The Hunter is one of Leighs best work yet. And I don’t say that easily. I wasn’t much of a fan of Angry God, which I feel like the entire universe loved but me. But that’s okay, it happens that you don’t like a book everyone else seems to like. My point is that this book is very likely going to be a favorite of the year and I have no idea how she wants to top the other books in the series. But I‘m very excited to read them and to find out.
