My Review
My Rating: 4 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads
I was granted eARC acccess to Hunted by Caro Savage via NetGalley as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with Bewitching Book Tours. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.
I don’t think I noticed before agreeing to review this book that it’s the third in a series but it really didn’t seem to matter. This book stood on its own just fine and I didn’t feel that I’d missed anything by skipping ahead to this point in the series arc. Hunted is a procedural-style police thriller and the person being hunted is undercover cop Bailey Morgan. Who is this Rex guy on her trail? Why is she a target? Will Bailey figure it out before he catches up with her?
This book is full of fascinating psychology, lots of suspense, and a smattering of lighter beats as Bailey interacts with her stereotypically British mother. It’s a real page-turner and I read it in just two sittings.
My only criticism is that some of the ways Rex gets one-up on Bailey just didn’t feel like things a seasoned undercover cop like Bailey should let happen. She gets a room at a hotel with zero security when there’s a hit out on her? She agrees to dinner at her best friend’s house, whose name and address aren’t hard to find, when she’s not even supposed to be in town? She’s goes ALONE to places she thinks Rex might be in hopes of catching him? These are rookie moves and felt a bit like plot conveniences to let the book take longer. It was otherwise well written and entertaining so I didn’t mind, but I noticed.
All in all I had a great time reading this book and I think if police thrillers are your thing, this series needs to be on your TBR!
