Hunted by P.C. and Kristin Cast

     Book five, Hunted, takes place after the group flees the school (after a freaking god erupts from the earth) and heads to the tunnels. We get Heath back in this book (which is a glorious thing) and we get to see some friendships start to really form that we never expected (side note: Erik is a d-bag, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t a spoiler at this point). I feel like I was really in it with this book. More so than the others so far, this one really picks up the pace. While there were some parts that I wanted to gloss over because it seemed a bit repetitive (if you’re starting this series on book five you deserve to be lost; the rest of us don’t need a catch up play-by-play), I kept on because sometimes even the smallest details can be important. Repetitiveness aside, this book still managed to keep me on my toes.

     I’m giving this book a four. I’m not sure if I just liked the fact that is wasn’t a cliffhanger ending, or that there wasn’t as much high school drama in this one, but overall I think it was well done. I really like the extremely blatant good vs evil theme, as well as the difficulty in fighting to overcome that evil in this book. While there are a few things in the books I actively dislike (goddess what is with Zoey having a thing with so many guys at once?!), the good, and the interesting, and the exciting parts (SO MANY CATS!!) definitely outweigh those and keep me coming back for more (and apparently more and more and more, because I have no idea how many books are left). This one had a bit of everything and everyone in it. It’s going to be interesting to see how they’ll continue to keep this series alive. While I know a little bit about what is to come, it’s been a few years since I have delved into this series, and, for once, I’m not sure what is going to happen at the very end.
