Leona Deakin – Hunt

‘Hunt’ by Leona Deakin is the third book to feature Dr Augusta Bloom, but is fine to read on its own as well. I haven’t read the first two but now I know what I am missing I need to add them to my towering inferno of books to read!

The Foreign Secretary is being held on terrorism charges and the only way he is planning to talk is if he can speak to Dr Augusta Bloom. When Bloom speaks to him she discovers he wants her to find his niece, Scarlett, last they heard of her she was involved with Artemis, a feminist group Augusta and her business partner and friend Marcus start by investigating Artemis. What they discover isn’t exactly pretty. It seems to possibly be more of a cult. Augusta decides to go undercover to find out if women are really going missing from the group. Will she find the truth or will the group root her out before she can learn anything?

I found Hunt to be a story that was very cleverly written and plotted. Fast with interesting characters also which. I found Augusta Bloom to be intriguing and very likeable for me. A story with an atmosphere that keeps you wondering what will happen next, a tension-filled story filled with twists and turns to keep me on my toes. It is written in a way that the reader finds out the outcomes as the characters in the book so it increases the suspense so expertly. I found it to be one of those books that you end up racing through the book faster as you start reaching the end so you can find out what happens. I am looking forward to being able to read the first two when I can.

Thank you to Random Things Tours and Leona Deakin for the copy of the book.
