The Hellion by S.A. Hunt
4.0
"God never did much for me, but books, they can save you in ways religion can't. They can give you strength, teach you, give you a place to go when the world is too much."
In true Hunt style, we are blessed again with a fantastic horror story filled with race and gender inclusive charcters, pop culture and cultural myths.
In this story we get less witches, but are blessed with Chupacabras, Wherefolves, a mention of La Llorona. I loved that the Latin culture was brought into this story. Though I did miss our past witch fighting, it was nice to add something new to the mix.
This time around Robin not only fights the bad guys around her, but also within her as she continues to figure out who she is and how her new powers work. The transformation is otherworldly and we get glimpses of past horrors and heartaches that guide her on her way to self discovery.
As Robin's story continues, we get to know some of the characters better from the second book and meet new characters who become like a part of her own found family. But what happens when you start to care about people, you become scared to loose them, leading Robin on yet another new journey.
I will say, I didn't love this book as much as the past two, but it was still a very solid read. Can't wait to see what happens next! (if there is a next)
