WHEN THE HUNTER IS HUNTED, WHO BECOMES PREY?
The Emperor’s Enemy
She is Zora Knight Mage, Bear of the North, and only hope of her people against the ravenous empire.
The Hunter’s Mark
He is Aleksander the divinely ordained Emperor and Royal Mage, hellbent on capturing Zora once and for all. The Emperor will use everything and everyone in his power to possess her, even Tarantula, the deadliest assassin in the empire’s arsenal. But there is something they don’t realize— Zora is hunting them back…
The Most Dangerous Game
For each, this obsession might prove their downfall.
Who will bend the knee first?
My thoughts:
What on earth did I witness? 😲 Unhinged, intensity to the brim and sometimes you're like, "What is going on?" yet you're still captivated, like a moth to a flame.
I can safely say that my love-hate relationship with this book is the same as that between Zora and Tarantula... unexplainable and intense 😂.
I haven't read other books by Jasmine Mas, and from what I gather, her writing style is that kind of eccentric and chaotic whirlwind that drags you into its own strange reality.
Yes, I had a few bits and pieces that rubbed me the wrong way or felt odd, but somehow I was intrigued and glued to this journey.
The tension and intensity between Zora and Tarantula were off the charts and on another level, with both of them being such hot-headed disasters, which made it so much fun.
Especially Tarantula being such a prude made me laugh so much 😂😂😂.
I mean, c'mon, an ankle? 😂😂😂. The thing with this book is, you get all the answers, and everything starts to make sense in the final chapters.
Before that, you just enjoy the rollercoaster ride, and I understand why so many people DNF'd this book, but the answers at the end made so much sense you're like, "Ooohhh, so that's why."
Didn't expect that, but I had a lot of fun with this one 😂😁.
