A review by desertlover
The Hunt by Chloe Neill

4.0

I am a huge fan of Neill and when my beloved Chicagoland Vampires ended this year, I decided to delve into her latest series, The Devi’s Isle. Set in the city of New Orleans, I once again found myself invested in another magical world. After the looming cliffhanger from The Sight, I’ve been wondering all summer, what would happen with Liam and Claire?

Because even though I knew why he’d gone, it still hurt to be left behind.

The beginning is somewhat slow and the focus is mainly on Claire and the aftermath of the second installment. Despite the timing, I enjoyed Claire’s moments with Moses and Quinn. There is also more mystery and intrigue that I had expected, but the change was welcomed. The later half of the book delivers the fast paced, action packed scenes I have come to expect from this series.

“You should always be grateful I’m reckless. It’s one of my better qualities.”

I am thankful the Liam issue is resolved in a timely manner and does not linger throughout the entire book. There is an introduction of new characters without infringing on those I’ve already come to adore. I would love to see a novella on Quinn; he is my favorite minor character. The ending had me reeling and sets the stage for an explosive fourth book.

I recommend this series to any PNR/urban fantasy fan. It contains all the elements desired in a series; a strong and fierce heroine, a brooding but lovable hero, and a strong supporting cast set in an interesting world. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for my advanced copy.
