This book was seriously addictive! I really enjoyed HUNTED, the story of an ordinary girl who discovers she has frightening supernatural powers—the ability to summon demons. Chandra Gray is in college and has a fraternal twin (Zandra—more on her later!) when she begins receiving strange phone calls. She soon learns from Ailzak, an experienced summoner that she is a powerful summoner who must learn to control her ability to summon demons. This is a well written novel with a wonderful, detailed world building and a well explained magic system. In addition to summoners, there are also hunters, who seek to destroy the summoners… and someone very close to Chandra may be destined to be her downfall (the setup here was really awesome.) Great pacing, with a good sense of threat/suspense and interesting scenes as we watch Chandra’s training progress.

Each different demon that Chandra learns to summon is intricately described. The scenes with the incubus/succubus was a favorite. I also enjoyed the tension between Ketae/Chandra/Ailzak as Ketae and Chandra were struggling to navigate a romantic relationship and that dynamic began to interfere with her training. The first half of the book is mostly set up and training, which I enjoyed. The second half, after Chandra’s transformation into a summoner and ascension into the leader of the order kicks this urban fantasy into a high-octane thrill ride where one sister is pitted against the other. Please tell me there will be a sequel!
