Die Hexenjägerin: Der Zirkel der Nacht by S.A. Hunt
4.0
*3.5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book! It had the promised Supernatural vibes, but also so much more. The horror elements were creepy and awesome, and the many details Hunt describes - which at first I wasn't so sure about - managed to really capture the atmosphere of Georgia in the fall.
There were, however, a few things that bothered me. The first one was the cliché and super negative portrayal of a clinic for the mentally ill. I just hated this. Also, while all the side characters were very likeable, interesting and three dimensional, I had my problems with connecting with the MC Robin. For me she felt like the one that was the least consistent and fleshed out, and I found myself caring much more for her friends. This book admittedly had its lengths, as it ultimately felt more like an introduction.
All in all, the story, the atmosphere and the characters are what kept me reading. If you are a fan of horror, Supernatural, Stephen King and the like, this book might just be the thing for you. I for myself will be looking forward to the next installment in the Malus Domestica series.
