Special Agent Matthew Roarke has abandoned his rogue search for serial killer Cara Lindstrom. He’s returned to the FBI to head a task force with one mission: to rid society of its worst predators. But now in the new, highly polarized political landscape, the skeletal symbols of Santa Muerte, “Lady Death,” mysteriously appear at universities nation

Start your review of Hunger Moon (The Huntress/FBI Thrillers, #5)

The rape culture seems to be ascendant. A self-proclaimed sexual predator has just been elected President of the United States. In other circumstances where he didn't have white money and power behind him he would be on sex offender lists.
But women are starting to fight back. When the Cheeto-in Chief makes his nomination to the Supreme Court, Bitch decides to retaliate, and they ain't happy. In fact you could say they are "mad as hell" and "aren't going to take it anymore.” The group of women ...more

5 shining stars
Phenomenal! Ms. Sokoloff knocked it out of the park with her latest installment of the Huntress Moon series.
In Hunger Moon, the author takes on the horrific rape culture permeating our country. She also brings to the surface such startling facts such as there is a greater than 90% chance a rapist will never pay for his actions. This book was written in 2017, during the first year of our new government elected in late 2016. Ms. Sokoloff has well described the darkness and the fear ...more

10 out of 5 stars!
Hunger Moon is a fast faced, edge of your seat, FBI thriller by Alexandra Sokoloff. Long ago I read FBI thrillers and spy novels but quit cold turkey after Ruby Ridge and the War on Terror. I realized that these books were nothing more than glorified propaganda and I wasn't that stupid. Now comes Sokoloff with FBI agents that are as conflicted about the current state of world affairs as most of us. They believe in the law, they believe in doing right but how does one do that wh ...more

Another five star book in this fantastic series!
To appreciate the full impact of Hunger Moon though I really feel that you need to have read the previous books. So much in the stories now depends on knowing and understanding the main characters especially Cara Lindstrom. Without background knowledge I am not sure how she would come across to a new reader.

I wanted a continuation of the Roarke and Cara story. Instead, the book was mainly a political commentary that blamed "rape culture" on the President of the United States. It went just too far -- "the end of the world" -- really? Rape was not happening before the election?

HUNGER MOON by talented author Alexandra Sokoloff, is Book V in the Thriller Award-nominated Huntress/FBI series. Hunger Moon is the sequel to Bitter Moon. These books keep getting better and better! I am hooked on this series! So good!

Hunger Moon, the fifth in The Huntress/FBI Thriller series by Alexandra Sokoloff, picks up where Bitter Moon left off. Special Agent Matthew Roarke and the killer he has been hunting, Cara Lindstrom, have gone their separate ways, retreating to find healing and – what? Strength? Sanity? Serenity? Roarke thinks he probably will never return to the FBI. Cara cherishes her time in Navajo territory, not knowing how long her stay will last.

This is one of those books that felt too damn short, it's the kind of energetic, blood soaked fiction I could keep reading forever. As it was, it became a late night, the perfect time for a book about the creeping evil of It, that dark, whispering force infecting human nature.
All the books before this one held that wickedness at their centre, the vigilante Cara Lindstrom fighting back, with knives and deadly energy, against the most brutal forms of male on female violation. Yet before now it's ...more

Two stories are intertwined. First, there’s the story of FBI Agents Roarke, Singh and Epps as they are sent to investigate threats against ‘fraternity’ boys in Santa Barbara. This rich student world was alien to me – full of privileged boys from wealthy families. The boys seem destined for high positions and they feel they can get away with anything during their student days – ie. drugs, rape, wild parties, gang rape etc. The local police are struggling with political hierarchies and all the boy

This book deserves a long and detailed review. But I'm spent. It was so freaking raw and emotional, I won't be able to express my feelings.
Respect, Alexandra Sokoloff, my respect to you!
This story is one big ugly trigger.
Rape. Rasicm. Misogyny. Violence. Rape.
It has a very strong political background, which I won't touch. Many governments, many countries 'live' this ugliness. It was, it is and it will be, if we won't stop it.
I wish this was a dystopia, but it wasn't for the most part.

Totally totally brilliant yet again.
Alexandra Sokoloff tells the stories most are disinclined to tell and in her main series protagonist Cara, has created an incredibly sympathetic strong female character who, rather than grey area's has so many colours you may get blinded.
This instalment, as all the others, is pacy, considered and hard hitting - with a side dose of reality and an authentically twisted view of the world. It is unusual to be honest to find novels that you can refer to as "proper ...more

Roarke is back at the FBI and his first case threatens to compromise the values he thought he just straightened in his mind. Bitch has targeted college campuses around the country, but something deeper seems to be happening at UC Santa Barbara where Roarke and Epps investigate a crime at a fraternity. Meanwhile, Cara is being hunted by Ortiz and his fellow misogynistic trolls.

After the excellent Bitter Moon, I was eager to read Hunger Moon, the latest book in this high octane series.
This one is more political than the previous books and focuses on what is happening under the present administration in the USA today. Roarke and Lindstrom are now on different paths. Girls are being raped in colleges and the whole attitude around this culture is delved into pretty deeply here.
Meanwhile, Lindstrom has her own problems with an old enemy coming to the fore once again.

Hunger Moon is raw, powerful, blood pumping, and in your face.
I will start this review for Hunger Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff by saying that I took way to many notes and would spoil the book if I shared them all. I loved it so much, and I got so carried away because my emotions were running riot, that I feel like ranting and railing.
I love that we have action from the opening pages and I would recommend passing by the girl with the dark hair and backpack, if your intentions are evil.

This fabulous series just got better and felt frighteningly relevant with the current state of 'leadership' in the US and the impact that it could be having on the people in the forces pledged to support the leaders and laws of the land!

Reading Hunger Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff was an absolute joy. Despite it being the fifth in the series and my first, I could pick the story up and run with it. When prominent universities become targets, FBI Agent Matthew Roarke can't help but think it's related to Cara Lindstrom.

This is the 5th book in the series and I feel they are enhanced by reading them in order.
This book is set in the dystopian world of contemporary America, and the political background and context plays a huge role in the story. Cara and Roarke are back on separate paths both still fighting in their own ways against the predators of this world. Others from the previous books are also back, doing their thing, on both sides of the law.

This is the fifth book in the Huntress/FBI thriller books series, so if its the first one you pick up, there will be times when you are very confused and feel that you are missing part of the story. It does stand on its own, but I believe reading the others first would be better.
I wouldn't call this a murder mystery book as such, somewhat closer to urban fantasy in some ways. I honestly can't quite pin down what category this book would fit in. It is well written, engrossing and engaging. The s ...more

So this for me was Cara and Roarke, Epps and Singh, all back to their best after (for me) a bit of a miss with Book 4 in the Huntress series.
My jury is out on some of the politics in this, which got a bit preachy at times. In the acknowledgements at the tail end, the author discusses why she wrote the politics. The timeline of the book occurs during the Presidential elections that see Donald Trump become president. Many of the underlined passages in the book reflect a common female mindset when ...more

Not enough stars for this author and her Huntress series. Each one leaves me wanting more and saying it's the best one. Now this one is beyond exemplary if there is such a thing. Sokoloff is one of the most accomplished writers and story-tellers. I couldn't put this book down! And I had to question my own character as I cheered for Cara, Jade, Bitch and women who are victims! Sokoloff didn't shy away from our current sick culture and she captures it with grit and insight.

Wow this book blew me away, but I have to say you really needed to read the books in order. Otherwise you would find it hard to really understand Cara’s motivation.
This book was more of a bigger picture, overall what was going on in the country and how it affected normal people.

I LOVE the Huntress series. I have definitely looked forward to each new book as it was released. I love the characters and especially Cara. I'm right there cheering her on to do what needs to be done and not get caught. I'm a law enforcement wife and former paralegal and sometimes the "constraints" of the law and the "civil rights" of the defendant are, in nice words, frustratingly hindering to actual justice.

I am so disappointed with this, I was eagerly anticipating the next story in this series because I loved it and they have all been 5 Boundless Stars up until now. I personally feel like Sokoloff loaded this book with so much of her own personal biased political opinions, it just completely overshadowed the entire story. Not only that, it has put a clear date stamp on the story, instead of letting it be ambiguous to the early 21st century.

Hunger Moon is the fifth book in The Huntress/FBI Thrillers series and it is a powerful story. In the previous story, Bitter Moon, FBI agent Matthew Roarke and serial killer Cara Lindstrom had finally come face to face. This confrontation was nothing like Roarke had ever imagined and it changed him irrevocably. Cara had always been in the shadows but now she had become notorious and had to go off the grid in order to avoid capture. Roarke too went off the grid in order to deal with everything th

I finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago and have been thinking about writing this review ever since. I absolutely loved the first four books in this series and truly regarded Alexandra Sokoloff as a real find, although I suspect that she never realized she was lost. While I very much enjoyed this book, I do not believe that it is in quite the same class as the first four.

I was a late starter to the Huntress series and I could kick myself for missing out for so long but on the plus side, it means I’ve been able to have a bit of a Huntress binge over the last wee while! Every cloud and all that!
