![]() ![]() "The Huntress" by Michelle O'Leary is one of the best books I've read in a long time. What does a hardened criminal like him know of trust or love? Is he even capable of stepping beyond instinct and into human emotion? The simple rules of his existence become much more complicated as he is forced to redefine the concepts of survival and freedom. All that he knows or cares about is survival and the fight for freedom until a trusting girl becomes his responsibility and a seductive Hunter offers him what looks like a second chance at life. Seth Terrik has spent more than half of his life in prison. ![]() But Mea is not one to allow duty to define her. Her choices seem limited-duty demands that she capture the escapee and turn the child over to the proper authorities. ![]() The pair make an impression on Mea that she can’t ignore-she feels a deep empathy for the girl and in Terrik she sees reflections of herself. But then she meets Seth Terrik, an escaped convict, and Regan Freya, a child recently orphaned. She is the best of the best, ruthless and predatory on a hunt and driven by the memory of violence. Traumatized at a young age by the violent death of her parents, Mea Brin becomes a Hunter, part of an elite policing force of the Planetary Coalition. ![]()

Reyna would say. Or worse – Meg would help Reyna bury my remains, and no one would be the wiser. By the time Meg rushed to my aid, it would be too late.
