This is the second in the series of the Predator Trilogy. I liked the book alot though I would have enjoyed it more if there was more romance. But I'm a romance junkie. The story and suspense were top notch (I don't know how she would write in such detail without being first hand).

Miranda is a woman that years ago was kidnapped, torchered and raped. But when she and the other girl that was kidnapped with her were let loose to be hunted by their captor, she alone survived. Now years More...

This book, for some reason, really got to me. I think it is because I so sorry for Miranda. I mean, how many people can survive being held by a serial killer, manage come out still sane, and then become one of the people hunt him down. Just the thought of it blows my mind.

It is for those reasons alone that I really admired Miranda even though she sometimes couldn't see the trees in the forest. Quinn, was another matter. He was so blah for me. It seemed like he was so typical of More...

Miranda lived through a horrible experience and watched her best friend die. Now, ten years later, she's trying to catch the man who brutalized her and killed her friend, plus an unknown number of women throughout their region. She's grown stronger and the scars have healed, but she'll never be the same. She can't stop the search for the killer, nor can she forget how the man she once loved betrayed her the day before she was to graduate as an FBI agent. She left the agency and never came back t More...

This is the 2nd in AB's Predator series and I did like it better then the first one. When I say that, I mean writing style and editing. The content is disturbing and violent. The romance of Quinn and Miranda is faint at first. They have been separated by 10 years. Twelve years ago Miranda was a victim of a serial killer, whom she managed to escape from.

She set her sights on being apart of the FBI, but due to Quinn's efforts she was kicked out before graduation. Miranda refused to list More...

This Predator series is really amazing. The first book was awesome and this one was just as good, if not better. Brennan writes her characters in such a way that it really brings them to life. I love how the characters are flawed and not perfect and the final scenes were absolutely gripping! I can't wait to start on the next one and see how it stands up.

If you've never read Allison Brennan before, you're really missing out and you should get started as soon as possible!!

I usually love books by this author, but I just could not get into this one. It has been on myself for a while and I have picked it up twice to try to read it and it just never caught my interest. After the first few pages it kind of slows down (and I usually can just march right on through the slower parts0. I couldn't do it with this one though. I guess we all that those certain books though.

Another fast paced entry in this trilogy. Actually the action was a bit better in this book than in The Prey.

I classify this trilogy as suspense because the bad guy/girl/persons are clear as soon as they're introduced. It's just a matter of how they get caught.

That said, the central theme of victimized women finding the strength to confront their attackers is empowering, even if a bit predictable.

In-cre-di-ble. Allison Brennan delivers nail-biting, edge-of-your seat thrillers. You'll be left with your mouth hanging open. The Hunt wasn't a typical run of the mill thriller, the story line actually leaves you thinking "OMG, I can't believe that happened." This was a very creative and well written piece of fiction.

Unless you like formula written harlequin romances , pass on this author. I read one other book by this author and basically only the names and location has changed from one book to another. Totally predicatable and I predict this is the LAST time I read a book by Allison Brennan !!

This wasn't as good as the first book in the series , but it was okay . I found the main character to angsty and the whole 'I'm a serial killer because my mommy raped me when I was little , but she loved me i swear' thing annoying to the extreme .

While I enjoyed the story line, it was a bit to descriptive for my tastes. There was a lot left unsaid at the end, and I felt it left the story unfinished. Nick was a big part of the book, and then at the end, it was just kind of done.

I've read a few other books by Brennan and enjoyed them. I really tried to read this, but after 164 pages I've had enough of the guilt trips. I was too the point I dreaded picking it up.

I understand the main character, Miranda, went through a horrifying ordeal and had survivor's remorse, but do we have to keep rehashing it in every single chapter. Then on top of that dealing with the guilt and remorse of her past actions in how she's handled her two relationships, plus those of the two More...

This is a great Who done it? It is about a serial killer but the one victim that got away won't stop until she catches him. Love and trust engulf the characters as they work together or apart at finding the killer

One of my absolute favorites by Brennan. Miranda is a strong female character who jumps off the page. Tons of twists and suspense will keep you flipping the pages. A great romantic suspense novel.

I am really getting into these books. They are sort of true crime, mixed with fiction, mixed with chick flick...starting the next book in the series.

Thought I'd try one more of hers....this one was even worse. Graphic in the ways a book shouldn't need to be graphic to be great. Done with her.

Wow again, the first was good this one is even better. Allison featuring characters from the first book The Prey, I just love that when characters from other books feature in a book of their own. It's rather like a growing family you come to care for them in some way. Allison is turning out to be very gifted author of something rather scary, and down right yucky in places of romance. And something I forgot to mention in my previous review for The Prey is that the romance between the characte More...

I guess these type of books are getting to easy for me to predict. That included the mystery and the romantic part.

Great book. The events in this book take place immediately after The Prey, but with mostly different characters. Quinn makes a reappearance in this book.

A bit graphic in places but not unnecessarily so. I wish the character development of the killer was better. This book did a great job of keeping me wanting to read more. If you like thrillers, you will like this book.

Good start to the book. As with the 1st one, sort of a bizarre story that goes with the murders...A good quick read with lots of twists and turns.

Not bad for one of Brennan's first kick at writing suspense. I totally destroyed the book by reading ahead and finding out who the killer was (I'm really trying hard not to do this with the third book in this trilogy). Suspense and police procedural was good but too much fluffy romance for me.

I found this book to be a very intense novel. I love the strength and dedication main character Miranda Moore through out this book. I found at times I really didn't want to turn the page to see what was going to happen next.
