OMG—what did I just read?! My mind is completely blown. “The Hunted” by Tayler Vaughn, is a raw, intense, and twist-filled story packed with grief, trauma, and a burning need for revenge. Tayler Vaughn has done it again—just when I thought I had things figured out, she flipped the entire story on its head. Over and over. The twists were wild, and every page had me holding my breath. I couldn’t put it down. This book deserves way more than 5 stars—it’s that good. A psychological rollercoaster I never wanted to get off. I absolutely loved it!

Brian is haunted by his childhood abduction and uses this as motivation to hunt those that hurt others. After his daughter Dee is abducted at 8 years old and never recovered, his life spirals and he hunts those serials killers that took his him as well as his daughter. This book was difficult for me to get into as I found it slow and lacking emotion in the beginning but about 1/3 the way through, it picked up and then the ending really through me for a loop! What a twist…excellent writing. But the very last chapter confused the heck out of me and now I don’t know what really happened at all! It was definitely a cliffhanger! An entertaining read. I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
