Picked this up from Kindle Unlimited. KU can be such a crap shoot sometimes the books are great and sometimes not so good. This one was pretty decent. The story itself was pretty standard for a paranormal romance.
Morgan Maxwell is a witch and a hunter who gets injured on the job. She's recuperating at home when Alex, another hunter, shows up to arrest her. While they're debating her guilt and alibi they discover that her aunt, and the head of the Maxwell family has been murdered. An investigation ensues.
In this world both Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, have a stake in things. However, being either a demon or angel doesn't determine whether you're on the side of good or evil. I thought that was a nice changeup.
I see that many other readers had issues with Morgan's sexuality. I found it refreshing. She went after what she wanted and it didn't have to turn into a big, ugly, triangle. Love the dynamic.

Morgan has been hanging out at home healing after a brutal showdown a few months ago forced her to take a much-needed break. She may be a little focused on finding out more about her mother but she didn't cause the attack that has sent the hunter to her door. As if she doesn't have enough going on with being seen committing murder, her adopted mother is also found murdered in the house just next door on Morgans watch.
Morgan needs to find out who killed Lady Maxwell, as well as framed her for the murders before another body turns up. Forced to work with the man who was set to arrest her she also has the help of her partner and demon lover they may just be able to catch them before something more sister happens.
I didn't like Morgan at first she was very frustrating as she so quickly made a new friend in Alex the man who was supposed to arrest her. She slowly grew on me as the book progressed but wouldn't say I loved her in the end. I liked Rowan she's an interesting supporting character even if she's not in the body of a talking cat.
I've had Hunter, Hunted on my wishlist forever and decided to take a chance and maybe I had my expectations too high. I loved the urban fantasy idea, the world is interesting and the idea of 4 cities but also living in the normal world. I honestly didn't love Morgan she was hard to connect with and a little frustrating. I also wasn't a fan of her voracious sex drive it was a little unnecessary but at least the author hides it so it doesn't overwhelm the story. The story itself is fast paced action packed and full of twists to the very end. Hunter, Hunted just wasn't for me, and I feel bad because it's my kind of book. I really wanted to love it but we don't love every book we read. I still suggest checking it out just because I didn't love it doesn't mean you won't.

I feel like I have missed something, I don't really understand what is going on throughout this book.
A load of demons died, no idea why... Then the head of a big family was killed.
Gah, can't even explain it I just don't get this book. Not for me.

Hunter, Hunted is a solid mystery wrapped up in an enticing urban-fantasy package. I enjoyed the magical world from the beginning --- talking cat, hunter protagonist, intricate potions, and world that feels a little different from our own despite being set here in the USA.
I wasn't as keen on the heroine jumping in bed with someone she barely knew right from the start, but later realized her actions were a way of showcasing a personality flaw that she'll likely be growing out of for the rest of the series. On the positive side, our heroine is witty and snarky and made me laugh. Definitely not a damsel in distress!
The mystery is intricate enough to keep you guessing and the side characters are interesting enough to keep you reading. Definitely worth a borrow (or buy if you don't have KU). Can hardly wait for book two!
