The Hunt (The Devil's Isle, #3)

by Chloe Neill

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Chicagoland Vampires Novels—the hunter becomes the hunted in a New Orleans devastated by a Paranormal war....

When bounty hunter Liam Quinn discovered that Claire Connolly was a Sensitive and infected with magic, he should have turned her in to be locked up in the prison district known as Devil’s Isle. Instead, he helped her learn to control her power and introduced her to an underground group of Paranormals and humans who know the truth about the war and those who fought it.
 
Now the weight of Liam’s own secrets has forced him into hiding. When a government agent is killed and Claire discovers that Liam is the prime suspect, she races to find him before the government can. But she’ll discover proving his innocence is no simple matter. Their enemies are drawing closer, and time is running out....

I needed a break from golden age mystery, and with bad back pain, I needed something that didn't require a high degree of concentration, and where there was a high probability of violence so I could vent vicariously.  Urban Fantasy to the rescue!   I generally love Chloe Neill's writing for its wit and snark almost more than for her ability to tell a good story.  Luckily she does tell a good story, because this series has less wit and snark than her Chicagoland series did.  It's not barren of humor at all, but it lacks the verbal dances Merit and Ethan and Mallory entertained me with.   Still, it's a good story line and Clair is a strong protagonist who does not engage in love triangles or damsel in distress crap.  I was able to get lost in a post apocalyptic New Orleans where magic is a thing and the author explores the 'us' vs. 'them' mentality that is so very, very prevalent today.   Good escapist reading with characters you can like and cheer for.  I could do without the book ending with a soft cliffhanger, but I girl can't have everything and I'll take soft cliffhangers over love triangles any day!

The tension was brought up several notches in The Hunt! There was heartache, action, fear, betrayal, fights, and death.
