Ich habe ein Rezensionsexemplar vom Verlag, Aufbau Digital, über Netgalley Deutschland erhalten. Diese Rezension ist unbezahlt und alle Meinungen sind meine eigenen.

Eigentliches Rating: 2.5

Ich mochte die Cameos von Ophie und Salem zum Ende des Buches.
Genevieve ist eine richtig nervige weibliche Hauptfigur, und zu ihrem marriage of convenience Ehemann Rowin hat sie trotz expliziter sexueller Eskapaden ziemlich wenig Anziehungskraft.

Man merkt, dass sich Smith sehr stark von Ready or Not (2019) hat inspirieren lassen, und während Fans dieses Filmes hier vielleicht auf ihre Kosten kommen mögen, ist die Handlung der Jagd im Vergleich zu den Spielen in Phantasma doch recht zahm.

Dazu ist das Buch am Anfang sehr in die Länge gezogen, und mann muss mindestens durch 1/3 unnötige Infos durch, bevor die Jagd, und damit die eigentliche Handlung des Buches, beginnt.

Ebenso sollte man das Buch nicht als enemies to lovers beschreiben (wie es die Autorin selbst tut), da Rowin Und Vivi zu keinem Zeitpunkt wirklich befeindet wahren. Sie treten immerhin als Ehepaar und damit als Team bei der Jagd an.
Eine andere Trope, die Leser*innen stören dürfte, ist die memory loss trope, verbunden mit einem finalen Plottwist, der nicht gerade sehr zufriedenstellend war.

Ich würde das Buch nicht empfehlen.
Meiner Meinung nach sind die Figuren kaum auszuhalten und die Handlung ist langweilig — bei weitem nicht so voll mit Blut, Tod und Nervenkitzel wie Phantasma; ein Buch, was wahrscheinlich besser als alleinstehendes Buch funktioniert hätte.

While I wasn’t as into this book as the first it was still a pretty fun ride in a dark world.
The idea of Enchantra and the Hunt is so sad.

Having the siblings kill each other year after year to keep their mother alive is twisted. But it’s a dark book so.

Genevieve was a typical FMC and Rowin a typical shadowy MMC. They were cute once they fell for each other and I liked them well enough.
The siblings and all the relationships between them were interesting to explore though.
It felt like the book ended so fast and while we got explanations it felt very rushed.
I’m assuming there will be another book in the series to tie up the rest of the loose ends from this one.

I thought this would be too similar to Phantasma but it was just different enough. I really felt for the Silver family, and was rooting for them. It has good pacing and is intriquing. The audiobook was well done even with a single narrator, Laura Horowitz does a really good job.
