It seems to me that the second book in the series is a big improvement on the first. It’s been a couple of years since I read ‘Cry Wolf’ the first book in this Urban Fantasy series. This was uncomplicated urban fantasy but it’s also brilliantly executed. One chapter in and I was already smiling. I picked ‘Hunting Ground’ up because it’s been in my TBR pile for three years, because I’ve missed reading Patricia Briggs and because I wanted something quick and easy I could read on my iPad while sitting in the sun in the garden (note to self: love my iPad mini but the screen doesn’t handle glare well – get a Kindle Paperwhite ASAP). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My goodness Colleen, you do tell some serious tales.
