Hunted by Elizabeth Heiter
3.0
Hunted is a pretty decent debut novel about a female BAU profiler with a haunted past, an ongoing case, and a potential romance. Evelyn Baine, our heroine, is what most heroines in this genre are - tough, vulnerable, a little stiff, a bit put-upon, striving a little too hard for the respect of her male counterparts.
When Evelyn is called in to assist with the hunt for the Bakersville Burier, she encounters a villain whose gruesome killings may be related to the death of her childhood best friend, Cassie. Evelyn is quickly drawn into the investigation and the book moves along at a good clip. Enlivened by its secondary characters, including Kyle (the handsome HRT squad member), Evelyn's story is a good first outing. Good writing and plotting and good pace, I enjoyed the read although it didn't stay with me and there's nothing that really makes Hunted a stand-out in this very crowded genre.
