Jess Brady's Reviews > Hunted Beast

"She’s everything I want, and I hate her for it."

Haunting Beauty book one of the Mate Games: Death series was just a teaser of things to come in book two Hunted Beast.

An asylum is where this series takes place so far and if you think you know what to expect with an asylum setting you couldn't be more wrong! It is like a gothic fairytale had bedroom time with a smutty paranormal romance and this is the result. Dark, sexy, and full of new twists and turns you could never have begun to predict.

Dahlia is finally learning exactly who has her back and who doesn't but the most surprising was Shadow Daddy... IYKYK. J.F. Harding brought Cain to the front and center of this story with his past that not only haunts him but also somehow haunts our girl too. When those secrets are revealed, you are not going to be prepared for that outcome.

I could be wrong on this front, but I do think that Kai and Tor are going to form the most unlikely of bromances. When John Hartley and Jason Clarke start their banter, it is the most delicious of accents you won't know what to do with yourself because it is like the most delicious game of ping-pong EVER!!

James Joseph as Hook or rather Caspian was such a delight! I was kind of in awe at how much he was able to bring this character to life. Then the characters arc throughout this book was just outstanding. You can't help but root for the delightfully naughty pirate.

Of course, we can't forget our leading lady, Stella Hunter. She never disappoints and I do have to say bravo to Kim and Meg for giving us a plus-size heroine who is not down on herself constantly. She owns what she has, and her men have absolutely zero problems with all that she has going on.

Samantha Brentmoor really nailed Dr. Masterson and Kiki. In the first book I was all about Dr. Masterson but this time it was Kiki. She is the best friend we all long to have. I really am hoping that we get her HEA at some point.

Okay, I've gone on long enough about my love for this book, but I do have to say that the added mystery with our resident serial unaliver takes this book to the next level. Hateful Prince is up next and I am just dying to see where this story goes!!
