Once she separates from the guards the pacing picked up and so did my interest.

I felt like I was reading military fiction, I just wanted things to get moving. I think the problem with this story for me was too much time spent tracking Cohen. The boy she was in love with before he left and never came back. In exchange for being allowed to live, Britta must help the king’s guards track down her fathers accused killer. When desperate times come to desperate measures, she ends up poaching and is caught by the kings guards. When Britta’s father dies, she’s left with absolutely nothing. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Įver The Hunted is the story of Britta, a teenage girl who is shunned by her people due to the fact that her mother was from a country that her kingdom is at war with. And soon she will learn what has always made her different will make her a daunting and dangerous force. But Britta wields more power than she knows. She must go on a dangerous quest in a world of warring kingdoms, mad kings, and dark magic to find the real killer. The boy she once loved who broke her heart. The alleged killer is none other than Cohen McKay, her father’s former apprentice.

When Britta is caught poaching by the royal guard, instead of facing the noose she is offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for her father’s killer. Now outcast and alone and having no rights to her father’s land or inheritance, she seeks refuge where she feels most safe: the Ever Woods. She spends her days tracking criminals alongside her father, the legendary bounty hunter for the King of Malam-that is, until her father is murdered.

Seventeen year-old Britta Flannery is at ease only in the woods with her dagger and bow.
