Oh this was delightful!
I was introduced to Dana Claire's fantastic writing style in 2023 with an ARC of "War of the Land and have since devoured "War of the Sea" am eagerly anticipating "War of the Mind and have the "Reclaimed Kingdom" on my TBR. When I saw there was an audiobook arc for Hunterland, it was a "Yes please" with no hesitation and I was not disappointed
Now I am not usually a fan of YA, but there are a rare few writers that can take tropes that have been over-used and worn out in TV land and breathe new life into them, reimagine, rebuild and invigorate! Saying this, viewers of Supernatural, Grimm, Buffy etc are very likely to enjoy this book
Dana Claire enhances the YA genre ibto a cross between urban fantasy and Paranormal and I am absolutely here for it
So, to the story.
Audiobook Performance: Arielle DeLisle and Travis Baldree did an exceptional job of narrating this audiobook (but I will likely get the PPB as this book is a keeper)
The book is dual POV, Liv, the main FMC and her sister Pepper live in Falkville Falls where the coach has just been found in an apparent "self-unaliving" but it is in fact, nefarious paranormal shenanigans which in turn brings Agent Hunter and his two kids, Liam and Jac (a family of monster hunters) to come and clean house
The main premise is whether the two families can use their unique skills to get the job done or if their differences will prevent their task succeeding
Atypical paranormal beings add yet another unique twist and kept me gripped to this delicious new type of Urban Fantasy, ready to explore and be devoured with gusto
Certainly a series to follow! Well played Dana Claire, glorious!!
I gratefully received an audiobook from Netgalley and all views and opinions are my own. This review is left voluntaraly and with much enthusiasm!
