Four books in and I still don’t know what to expect from every entry.
Each book before this one had it’s own unique (and amazing) plot, so there’s no real surprise that this one also takes readers to a new side of this story. This time, our main characters arrive in a small town only to find that sea wraiths are killing the townspeople.
One thing I really liked about this plot was the creativity in the sea wraith monsters. I’ve never heard of a sea wraith before, but especially not any sort of monster who specifically targets its own living species. These former humans attacking living humans while former seals attack seals (and so on) was such an interesting detail I wouldn’t have thought of for a monster!
As always, I also love how the characters have grown so far. I’ve realized recently that I really love characters who are mature enough to explain their emotions to others and realize when they are wrong, so seeing one of our main characters learning from the past books and actively using that experience to fuel his interactions with others in this book was such an amazing part of this story!
And honestly? This book was kind of cute. After the horror elements of the other books, I wasn’t expecting to really care for the monsters in this book. But I ended this book thinking of how strangely wholesome the sea wraiths were and what a nice experience the townspeople of Ribe had with monsters who wanted to kill them.
I’m definitely excited to see more of this series and what these characters have waiting for them in the future! If you haven’t checked out these books yet, what are you waiting for?

I received an eARC of this novella for an honest review.
This was probably my favourite episode of the Hunter series so far. The plot was well paced and exciting, and the ending was actually heartwarming.
Eric's character development seemed sudden at first, but it made sense within the story. I enjoyed seeing him grow and make conscious attempts to change his attitude after the last installment.
The monsters in this episode were interesting and described with the right amount of vivid detail without being overwhelming.
Overall and excellent addition to the series and I look forward to reading more.

The fourth installment of The Hunter Novella Series continues the journey to Xanvur. Eric, Alice & Freya arrive at Ribe, a small coastal town. Thinking they will finally have some down town to rest and recouperate, they are confused when they ride into a ghost town...
The roads are empty. The houses are dark. The inn they step into...seemingly deserted.
The proprietor of the inn hustles into view shocked to see visitors. Eric expects an explanation for the desolate town and what follows is a tale of horrors.
Once they realize Ribe is in a constant state of unrest, Eric, Alice and Freya set out to see if they can bring balance back to the small town and peace to the residents.
This is quickly becoming a favorite way for me to read and I want to look into other series like this. I really enjoy this author's style of writing, his characters, their evolvement and the flow of the story. It all comes together seamlessly.
This series is available on Amazon now and also through the Kindle Unlimited subscription. They are definitely worth the read for those who love fantasy and novellas, or those who simply want to go on an adventure.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
