About the author
Donna Collins
5 books21 followersDonna Collins was born at home in Romford, Essex, England. Five minutes later, she was one-hundred-per cent a bookworm. Her favourite novel, Enid Blyton’s The Children of Cherry Tree Farm, was a gift from her parents and now the most worn book on her bookshelf.
It was this book, and her love for 70’s and 80’s TV shows such as Hart to Hart, Charlie’s Angels, Hunter, and Dempsey and Makepeace, that lured Donna to the dark side of mystery and thriller writing. Since then, Donna has racked up many favourite authors, including Paula Gosling (A Running Duck is the second most worn book on her bookshelf), Jonathan Kellerman, Patricia Cornwell, and A.J. Quinnell.
Although Donna loves to write, she also loves crime – and her career proves it. Having founded her school magazine, her professional career includes not only working at OK! Magazine but also for Essex Police, Ormiston Prison Services, and Essex Offender Services. With publishing credits for freelance and commissioned magazine articles under her belt, Donna has now turned her attention and imagination to what she is best at – storytelling.
In her spare time (what spare time?), Donna loves anything scary that will get her adrenaline pumping, including storm chasing, fright nights, zombie-infested shopping malls, and séance panic rooms – with her all-time goal involving the open sea, a cage, and a whole heap of great white sharks. Donna also proudly boasts finishing the 2010 London Marathon, but you’ll have to ask nicely if you want her to tell you where she was placed and who overtook her.

I just finished listening to The Undoing (Hunted Series Book 3) on audiobook, and wow, it’s definitely intense. Andy Stevenson, the narrator, did a fantastic job bringing the story and characters to life. His pacing and voice really pulled me into the tension and suspense of the plot.
The story itself is dark, with plenty of violence, gore, and blood. If that doesn’t bother you, you’ll likely be hooked, but it’s definitely not light reading. I appreciated how the book explored both Roman’s and Eliza’s pasts, adding layers to their characters while keeping the stakes high.
One tip: I really recommend reading or listening to the series in order. I think I enjoyed this one more because I was already familiar with the previous books. The “cat and mouse” dynamic between the characters keeps you turning pages, or in my case, hitting play, right to the end.
Overall, it’s a gripping and intense entry in the series, well-narrated, and satisfying for fans of the Hunted novels. Just be ready for a dark ride.

Roman is left behind, the police are looking for her, the evil sheriff is still pursuing her and it's up to Eliza to save Roman and her brother all by herself and without a single penny to her name. The only help and advice Roman gave her was "Find my Brother". Knowing virtually nothing about Roman prior to meeting him, Eliza turns detective to investigate his past to find answers. Working with wisps of information, she doggedly works the puzzle to find Roman's brother. Once she does, this opens up a cavern of truths she wasn't ready for, and no-one was expecting the hidden danger who was quietly binding her time for the right moment to strike.

Loved all three books!!!
I'm on a low buy year and vowed not to buy any books. That quickly went by the wayside when I read the first book in my stash. Books two and three were quickly snapped up!

Roman's past has caught up to him and he and Eliza have to depend on each other to make it through. This is a great series and I look forward to more in it.
