Go Hunt Me is an interesting book with a great plot twist. I went into this novel thinking it would be about one thing and turned out to be something completely different, but it was not in a good way.
I REALLY wanted to love this book. The cover is absolutely gorgeous, so I know I had to read it. I did enjoy all the descriptions of Romania and felt like I was transported there with the characters. I did like the overall premise of the novel, but it fell short for me in the execution. [I went for this book thinking I was in for a good vampire horror and there was not even one vampire in the book! (hide spoiler)]. Go Hunt Me starts out on the slower side but does pick up about halfway through and then it is hard to put it down.
I did find the characters to be very one dimensional and the cliched spoiled rich kids, so I didn't really connect to any of them.

I found the pacing to be a slog, the characters flimsy, stupid, and obnoxious, and the writing to be tortured. Every turn was telegraphed entirely too hard. Felt like the author was just doing a poor novelization of a movie we’ve seen a dozen times. Did not work for me on any level.
