DESCRIPTION:
Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. When an act of sabotage against Joy takes an unbearable toll, Joy uncovers a terrifying conspiracy. And it may be too late to stop them.. Yet the Cits have no sense of how much danger they're in to them, Joy and her corps of fellow Hunters are just action stars they watch on TV. And some were like nothing anyone had ever dreamed up, even in their worst nightmaresMonsters. They came after the Diseray. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities, behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous monsters fighting to break through. Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it's taken centuri
"Hunter gets better with each Reread!" according to Kilaani. I read Hunter immediately after it was released, and at first I was vaguely dissatisfied. As others pointed out, there was a large amount of info-dumping, and Joy being excellent at everything whilst also being super modest. I also noticed the anti-Christian slantHowever, after giving it a rest, I have come back to Hunter three or more times and each time the characters have grown on me. Yesterday, I again began the book and while really taking it slow, finished today. My take after reading this time, was that while starting slow, this is a nice addition to Lackey's worlds. I got it during the tender moments or heart wrenching o. Dr. Debra said LACKEY AT HER BEST!. This series is Mercedes Lackey at her best! Wow! What a pleasure to read Hunter and Elite. The writing is smooth and tight. The world building--with a combination of futuristic and ancient fantasy--is superb.The characters are likable--especially Joy. The plot is mysterious and compelling. I sped right through the two books and want the next one NOW! Lol.Misty Lackey's Heralds of Valdemar is one of my all time favorite fantasy series, and I'm an avid reader, so that's saying a lot. It's SO good to see her put out a strong series again.If I had the audacity of choosing Misty's writing schedule, I wouldn't have her waste time on t. Joy was a decently fleshed out character It's a really interesting cross between Hunger Games and Legend with every fairy tail monster you can imagine. I found it riveting but I am a huge fan of Mercedes Lackey's writing style. It had a similar world building feel to Robin McKinley, in my opinion.Joy was a decently fleshed out character, but her hounds were what kept me coming back.
As Joy adjusts to her flashy new life, gets to know the other Hunters, and starts Hunting, she begins to realize that Apex is not as safe as it seems and that there are secrets the government does not want exposed. The protagonist is a principled, smart, strong girl and is easy to root for. This satisfying sci-fi YA novel is set in a fully thought-out future with cultural references woven throughout. VERDICT A perfect choice for "Hunger Games" fans and readers looking for stories with strong female heroines.—Marian McLeod, Convent of the Sacred Heart, Greenwich, CT . Since a catastrophic event called the Disarray, monsters of all kinds have crossed into the real world from the Otherworld and it's the Hunters' jobs to destroy them. Joy's Hounds are Alebrijes, and the monsters she hunts come from a variety of sources: Drakkens, Folk (evil fairies), Vamps, Tommyknockers, Gogs, and Magogs. Joy and her supernatural Hounds are summoned to the c
