Hunting in Bruges
by E.J. Stevens
Witty and action-packed, Hunting In Bruges follows twenty-year-old Jenna Lehane as she hunts for whatever’s been killing tourists in the historic Belgian city of Bruges. Part of the Hunters’ Guild, it is Jenna’s sworn duty to protect humans from supernatural monsters – a duty she takes very seriously. Jenna is joined by a mysterious and flirty stranger with a garish sense of style and some rather unconventional guild mates – an addict witch, a blind archivist, and a one-armed demolition expert who just loves to blow things up, among others.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are fantastic and I particular liked the main character Jenna, a young woman who kicks butt and takes names and will release holy hell on anyone who hurts innocents. The world building is richly detailed and the plot flowed really well. I was completely hooked early on and just couldn’t put the book down, finding myself eating lunch with one hand and drinking my coffee with my eyes glued to the page as everything unfolded.
One of the aspects I also really enjoyed in the book was the various supernatural creatures sprinkled throughout. Yes, there were the usual vampires, witches, werewolves, and fairies that are staples in urban fantasy books, but there were also the very standout additions of swan maidens, grindylows, and rusalkis.
I absolutely recommend checking out Hunting In Bruges if you like richly detailed urban fantasies set in historic locations. I definitely plan to read more books by this author and will be on the lookout for the next book in this series (it’s set in Paris – I can’t wait!)
