Hunterland was available as a Read Now audiobook on NetGalley and I had actually heard about it closer to when it came out last year and had added it to my TBR, but I am such an audiobook addict that having it available as an audiobook helped me actually get to reading it! Hunterland is recommended to anyone who likes Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Vampire Diaries and considering two of those shows are my all-time favorites I knew I needed to read this book. I definitely agree it is very Supernatural-esque and Liam is for all those Dean Winchester stans! I’d call Olivia an Elena, Jack is a total Charlie (both females with traditionally male names and I love it!), and Pepper is a cross between Dawn and Dark Willow. 

The storyline was fun, the romance worked, and the characters were interesting. I wouldn’t say this book was a standout, but it was four stars and it was such a quick read. As for the audiobook aspect, I wasn’t a huge fan of Arielle DeLisle’s narration. I felt her variation in voices wasn’t as ranged as I’m used to from other narrators, especially the male voices. I was surprised that Travis Baldree is an audiobook narrator as well! His portion wasn’t bad, but it did feel a little lackluster.
