What do you do when suddenly you are the one being hunted?
Hunted – the blurb
You’re woken early by the doorbell. It’s a young girl, the daughter of the love of your life. She’s scared, covered in blood, she says her mother is hurt.
You let her in, try to calm her down, tell her you’re going to get help. You reach for your phone, but it lights up with a notification before you touch it.
It’s an Amber alert – a child has been abducted by a dangerous suspect.
The child is the girl standing in front of you.
The suspect? You.
Race you to the finish
You know the style. Short snappy chapters, bombshell endings making you read just one more page. It has been a while since I had read a proper thriller but I slipped back into it with ease as I accompanied Molly witnessing her mom being shot in the head. I loved the opening chapters and was intrigued to follow Jake and Molly as they made their escape. As the book continued however I did find the reasons Jake continued to remain on the run weak. I also found Molly a little two dimensional. The pesky reporter (sorry podcaster) was…pesky and the clues perhaps a little too in your face. I didn’t mind though as I finished it in 3 days and overall enjoyed the change in pace to recent reads.
