The Hunter's Daughter by Nicola Solvinic
4.0
When Anna was a child, her memories were sealed away from her conscious mind by a controversial hypnosis treatment. Now Anna is a decorated sheriff’s lieutenant in a rural county, living far away from her father’s shadow. When Anna kills a man in the line of duty, her repressed memories return and she begins to dream of her beloved father with his hands red with blood surrounded by flower-decked corpses that he sacrificed to the forest god. A serial killer emerges, copying the trademark of her father, and who knows who Anna really is. As Anna haunts the forest looking for clues, will she find what she needs most or lose herself in the darkness?
This is such a fantastic debut!
THE HUNTER’S DAUGHTER features Anna as the main character. She is written complexly, is well developed, and with relatable flaws. I was very intrigued to learn more about the traumas she experienced as a child that formed her into the person she is now. I loved the flashes we get into her childhood.
The plot is fast-paced, well-developed, and intriguing with just enough twists and small reveals to keep the story moving forwards and keep the reader guessing as the pieces slowly come together. I had a hunch as to what was to come at the end but ended up being pleasantly surprised!
I really enjoyed the unique horror/magical elements interspersed with the Forest God, making this for a really original thriller!
