THE SIGHT left me pretty heartbroken for Claire and I was looking forward to seeing what would happen next for her.
THE HUNT started off a bit slow and 5 weeks after the end of book two. There was a great mystery to THE HUNT that kept me reading, but it didn't live up to the last two books in the series for me.
After all the action of THE SIGHT, THE HUNT was a little disappointing in that category. It does feature some good action scenes, but not nearly as much as previous books and the story tended to drag a little without it.
Thankfully the Devil's Isle series is urban fantasy because the relationship between Claire and Liam is frustrating. There is progress, but it always seems like two steps forward, one step back with them. Hopefully the progress made in THE HUNT sticks for a while.
The characters are really what kept THE HUNT from being a total downer. They are all interesting, bring something unique to the group and they work really well together. Hopefully I can get back into the series with book four.

To be fair, I haven't read the other books in this series, so I was a bit lost on a few things, but the author does give ample details as the story progresses. The book started off well enough with a bit of snark and humor, but as it went on, it began to drag. I'm all for setting a scene, but it went a little over the top at times and it was more details and talking than anything else through much of the story.
I never really warmed up to Claire and actually found some of the secondary characters to be much more interesting than the heroine. The action does pick up in the latter part of the book, but by that time, I was rather disconnected from the story and found it hard to care much about the outcome, which is a bit abrupt, in my opinion.
Overall, it was just an okay read and didn't interest me enough to look into the other books in the series.

Everyone is trying to stay under Containment's radar since Claire's magic was shown during the fight with Ezekiel. Some of the Paras got passes after the battle and are living on the outside. Moses was pretty much coming and going as he pleased at the end of The Sight, and he is a pretty good companion for Claire. They scavenge and pass on to the Devil's Isle clinic anything they find that might be needed. Until Gavin alerts them that there has been a murder and Liam is the prime suspect. After consideration, Claire joins the party to go find him and alert him. I wasn't sure what they thought was going to happen. Gavin, Claire and Malachi all seem intent on him staying where he was after Liam finds out. They should have known that he would insist on coming back to clear his name and get the bounty off of him.
I was left hurt by The Sight, when Liam disappeared. I thought they had worked through all their issues and were now going to be a team against the problems of the world. So when it comes time to find him, I was really hoping that Claire would really go off on him, but apparently she is better and more patient than I. Which is funny considering what they say about red heads and their tempers! ;) Things are awkward until Claire spells everything out for him. What she needs to know from him before they can move on. But their relationship problems do not keep them from working together.
In the midst of all the clues and hair raising situations, Claire gets a surprise. She has to try and deal with the feelings that surprise bring on but yet keep her head straight on the plans the team are putting together. I found Claire a tad bit reckless in some situations where she strikes out on her own despite the bounty on her head. She's been sneaking around New Orleans for 5 weeks now, yes. But during this whole mess, she has done things to bring attention to herself and she is now almost as wanted as Liam. It's dangerous. She does however collect some very useful information and a great lead that puts all the pieces into place.
To say all hell breaks loose at the ending is putting it lightly. Just as I thought we had come to our conclusion, we get a surprise that is going to turn the world upside down. The setting for upcoming books is being set and I think they are going to be full of action.
I was left freaked out for what was to come, but also content with the way the characters had developed. Claire and Liam really grow into themselves. Gavin and Moses are still two of my favorite characters. They can bring a smile into even the most dire of situations. After this ending, there HAS to be more coming. I have yet to find any news on a book four, but I'll be keeping my eyes open. I feel like a door has been opened and the world is starting anew. We need to have more from this series for sure.

Another great book. I love Claire and Liam. I hope that they can find a way to close the Veil before he battle.

Entertaining enough but I felt both the plot and the characters lack depth. I do still like heroine Claire though. Gavin is amusing and I am very interested to know more about Malachai. However I find the romance fairly lacklustre which is mostly down to our hero Liam being kinda bland. I did like how sensible Claire was about the whole relationship thing and Liam’s issues.

3.5 stars. I didn't think this was as good as the first two, it kinda went on and on without much movement, in other words, it was a bit slow. The last quarter of the book made up for it and it ended on a oh shit moment. I'm really looking forward to the next book. I'm hoping we get a look inside the Veil. Overall it's a good series.
