Devil’s Isle #3
by Chloe Neill
September 26, 2017
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Chicagoland Vampires Novels—the hunter becomes the hunted in a New Orleans devastated by a Paranormal war….
When bounty hunter Liam Quinn discovered that Claire Connolly was a Sensitive and infected with magic, he should have turned her in to be locked up in the prison district known as Devil’s Isle. Instead, he helped her learn to control her power and introduced her to an underground group of Paranormals and humans who know the truth about the war and those who fought it.
Now the weight of Liam’s own secrets has forced him into hiding. When a government agent is killed and Claire discovers that Liam is the prime suspect, she races to find him before the government can. But she’ll discover proving his innocence is no simple matter. Their enemies are drawing closer, and time is running out….

This series needs to be read in order.
The Hunt starts off 5 weeks from where The Sight ends. The tension is ramped up several notches in this installment. It’s filled with action, heartache, betrayal, fear, friendship, and death.
Claire spends a lot of time in an emotional turmoil over Liam, secrets that she is finding out about her family, and what she can do to change the world for the better for those paranormals in it. When Liam comes back in the picture the tension between him and Claire is heightened. His stubbornness and issues with the magical abilities he has now add to their relationship troubles.
The start was a bit slow in the beginning for me and I had some trouble getting into the story. I was surprised by a few events or revelations that popped up in the story. I was also not expecting things to go that path. The ending was a little unexpected and had me wondering what now.
My only issues is Claire, Liam, and others are fugitives. They are on the run and trying not to get caught by the government. Well they sure do get around way to easily. They move from one place to another without running into conflict, trouble, etc. Just to easily for them to move around especially when the government wants to capture them.
All and all The Hunt was an enjoyable read.
Rated: 3 Stars

I’m working on this one right now. You have made me curious about some things and I’m wishing I didn’t have to go to work so I could snatch it up and continue reading. Adulting is the pits!

Thank you for this review. I have not read these books and and am a bit hesitant to do so. I’m just not sure if I would like them or not. I need to have a hard think on these ones.

I’ve had my up’s and down’s with this series. I’ve enjoyed the uniqueness of the world and Claire is an interesting character. It’s not a series that’s full won me over, but it has been pleasant and enjoyable to read. Thank’s Mary for stopping in today!
