Book: Hunted By Fear by Sara Hinds
Reviewed by Booksbystarlightandshadows
Rating: 4/5
I really felt for Aeri as she tried to survive and break through Rome's control. Rome is awful but he's not a one dimensional villain which I liked and it's interesting that he seems to be linked to the guys' past. I don't think I have it in me to forgive him, but I think there is more to his situation than meets the eye.
Lucifer has ousted Asta as my favourite; I love how unsure and nervous he is around Aeri! Talian is a close second though and his reconnection with Aeri as himself rather than Oliver was really sweet. The bonds don't seem to be straightforward though and how a certain person has been leapfrogged by another character who seemed to be MIA off page for quite a bit confused me. I couldn't quite glean how the bonds work the but I did like how it throws up the idea of consent being involved. I love fated mates but I also like the occasional "I want you to choose me for me, not because a divine entity decided it".
That ending came out of nowhere and I am here for it! I'm so invested in the backstory about the fall and something tells me that ending is going to be connected to it.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
