Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Hunter (Hunter #1)
They came after the Diseray. Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. And some were like nothing anyone had ever dreamed up, even in their worst nightmares. Monsters. Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it’s taken centuries to bring back civilization in the wake of the catastrophe. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities, behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous creatures fighting to break through. Others are not so lucky. To Joyeaux Charmand, who has been a Hunter in her tight-knit mountain community since she was a child, every Cit without magic deserves her protection from dangerous Othersiders. Then she is called to Apex City, where the best Hunters are kept to protect the most important people. Joy soon realizes that the city’s powerful leaders care more about luring Cits into a false sense of security than protecting them. More and more monsters are getting through the barriers, and the close calls are becoming too frequent to ignore. Yet the Cits have no sense of how much danger they’re in—to them, Joy and her corps of fellow Hunters are just action stars they watch on TV. When an act of sabotage against Joy takes an unbearable toll, she uncovers a terrifying conspiracy in the city. There is something much worse than the usual monsters infiltrating Apex. And it may be too late to stop them…

I am proud to say I am yet again an oddball... I really liked this book!I've never read a book before that started so BAD but ended so GOOD!The Bad (the first 20%) :Okay, so the first 20% I'd only rate a 6/10 and that's being generous. The whole beginning is Joy riding the train to the city. It would've been so much better if it started in the mountains. Then we could've seen what it was like instead of being told about it.It starts with TONS of info dumping! This girl has concentration issues.When I received Hunter from NetGalley I looked through some of the reviews on Goodreads and they made me so nervous to read it. There were some good reviews here and there but most of them were at best mediocre. Now here I am writing my review and I am torn. I am giving this book a three out of five simply because my feelings on it are so mixed.I actually really enjoyed the story. I thought that it was a fun new take on the often over played Dystopian genre. When the Diseray occurred, which is
DNF at %15I love the cover and I loved the synopsis but once I started this book, I realized that Hunter is pretty much every YA book ever. Unlikely hero from humble origin is "different", "special" and is the only one who can save the world. I started this book two weeks ago and I just couldn't get into it and I just didn't want to finish it. That being said, I have pre-ordered this book. The cover is amazing and I want to own it. I didn't finish this book now but I'll start it once I have a
~review copy from NetgalleyHUNTER -- I LOVE this book. It's so much fun and Mercedes Lackey's world building is engaging and her take on magic is believable.THE BACKDROP-- is an alternative earth where catastrophe has struck. And while the Christers may have been expecting to be gathered up to Heaven, what really happened was that the border between this earth and other worlds was breached, and magic and horrid creatures can spilling in. Hobgoblins, vampires and a host of creatures we know
Just when I thought I was worn out on the YA genre, Hunter comes along and knocks my socks off! Ive been a fan of Mercedes Lackey for years (with the Dragon Jousters series claiming the spot as my favorite), so I knew that, even though she was tackling a younger demographic, it was still going to be fantastic and it was. She delivered a cool, creative book with dangerous monsters, memorable characters, and a (mostly) unpredictable (and exciting!) plot-line. The best compliment I can give this
As a dystopian novel, Mercedes Lackey's Hunter doesn't offer anything really new. Due to some apocalyptic event, the fabric of the world opens up and allows magic to exist alongside modern technology. It also allows monsters to enter the world. Obviously, the world will need protection; enter the hunters. Our young protagonist is eager to prove herself, and through determination and resourcefulness advances through the ranks of hunters. Contrary to the reviewers here who either loved or hated
I am with the majority - infodumps, Mary Sue MC and recycled YA tropes galore.
