The story, while fairly easy to foretell, was surprisingly compelling. I went in with the thought that it was going to be a fluff book, especially with the way the characters are presented, but the author developed them well and presented them with interesting challenges. I was actually wishing the book was longer near the end.

Pleasantly Surprised

Any additional comments?

I don't like to read something unless it sucks you into it. This book and the ones to follow it do just that. It is a good story, and something different from all the vampire stuff. Very good book, I am on the thrid one now and hope another comes out soon.

Great book for teens and adults....

Great book and I loved the story, but could have had a better narrator. The background music was also a nice touch.

worth the listen

What made the experience of listening to The Hunter the most enjoyable?

This book is thoroughly enjoyable, i absolutely love books like this. What would you do if you were trapped and your only way out of your nightmare is to go through your nightmares. Well Jenny finds out when she unknowingly gets drawn into a game of fears and twists to face off against the dreaded Shadow man. When backed into a corner in fear for your life the only way out is to delve deeper into the mysterious white-boxed game of nightmares.
