REVIEW:
In the second book of the Guy Erma
series, the events are just as fast paced, as racy as the first one, Kidnap.
The kidnapped prince Teodor is being
held inside the city itself, and his mother, the Regent Sayginn suffers between
political drama, a mother’s need to protect her only remaining son and a
manipulative emperor who wishes to marry her to produce his heir. Amidst all
this chaos, she sees Karl Valvanchi as the sole ray of light that could save
her son from captivity. In between this high profile drama, Guy Erma finds
himself chasing after the ever eluding dream of being a part of the Dome Elite.
The tense political situation apart, Guy knows he has to do anything that the
Dome Boss says if he is to have a chance of fulfilling his dream.
The summary does much justice to the
book’s story as much as the book’s story adheres to it. The story continues
right from where the first book left off and is every bit as intriguing. In
depth looks into everyone’s perspective is an added bonus. Each character has
been given enough space in the story. The language (thanks to the glossary) is
easy enough to understand the storyline. The last chapter of the book is the
most interesting, with the face off between Guy Erma and Prince Teodor fit to
be a movie scene.
Hunter, even if it doesn’t answer many
questions about the series and poses much more questions that would hopefully
be answered in the next part. An overall enjoyable experience, Hunter is one
book that you will be able to appreciate after if you read the series in the
proper sequence.
Again, much like the previous time,
this book also sends with a cliff hanger – albeit a bit hopeful one. I just had
to mention this here.
