Hubby's review: (He snagged the book and read it almost straight through and I haven't had a chance to read it yet.)
The Hunted is about a man, Jo Saunders, who comes to town in search of his lost nephew. Filled with guilt and remorse over his brother’s death, Jo finds his nephew in an old outhouse. He’d been mauled by a large animal and is in a coma. His nephew lives in Dark Hills. The police chief of Dark Hills is Jo’s old girlfriend. The town is filled with dark secrets and cover-up runs rampant even among the residents. As the story unfolds there is conflict that appears to be of flesh and blood but is actually a spiritual battle. Jo is determined to learn the truth at all costs. For readers who love spiritual battles in fiction form, this book will totally thrill you. However, it is realistic and frighteningly real enough to warrant reading while the sun is out. A suspenseful page-turner, this book should not be read at night. But the ending will bring tears to your eyes, so it’s not all terror and angst. In fact, it reminds you of the scripture where it says that Satan prowls the earth like a roaring lion and YOU and The Hunted. (1Peter 5:8) Highly recommended.
