Out March 5 - thank you to the publisher for providing me with a free copy!

Rating: 5/5 stars

The sequel to THE SEARCHER and continuation of Cal Hooper’s story.

I am boldly calling it: this book will be my favorite of March and easily in my top ten of 2024. I absolutely LOVED it, from the found family to the small town to the added POVs expanding on the perspectives of characters I already loved from THE SEARCHER. So many small moments left me teary, and I gasped, grinned, and laughed more than once.

THE HUNTER is one of those books I won’t accept any criticisms of because it instantly meant so much to me in a single read. These characters have my entire heart, and this is the kind of book that is so perfectly and intricately crafted that I know I will reread it and only ever find additional things to love.

Could not possibly recommend this one any more than I already do, and I apologize in advance if I never shut up about it!

CW: Violence/death/injury; mild animal cruelty
