I enjoyed The Hunter as much as I did the first in the series (The Searcher). For a thriller it’s a very measured, thoughtful pace - and I really liked that slow burn. Cal Hooper is dark and brooding, and so is this book. We get a little light relief from the farmers and other inhabitants of the village - right up until they show their true colours.

Trey’s absentee father suddenly returns, and he has a way for everyone to get rich quick. Or does he? Johnny Reddy brings chaos to the calm of the village and Carl’s life.

The real star of this novel is the landscape - I enjoyed reading these passages. Cal and Trey are pretty special characters, too. What a double act. I do wonder though, if the ending of this didn’t seem a bit ‘final’? Will we see them in another book or not? I hope so.

Teachable Lessons
This was nice and fresh read. It was also a good learning book for young readers. It shows the importance. What a lesson you can learn from the sea creatures. Something happens to one of their friend's little brother, will the little brother survive? I know it teaches about friendship and some Christian values.
 
Will it be that they get a miracle? You will need to read the book for it. The lesson in the book is best for though to learn about what Jesus did for us all. The sea kids have a special Easter hunt. What happens to all and if one shares his egg with another. What does that person do to do with that egg and show something that is sweet?
 
The author does a wonderful job of doing the lessons. I hope that your readers and parents can use this as a good way to input the story in focus. The pictures are down wonderfully. The pictures can tell the story. I can not state as to what all that happens for it would spoil the story and lesson learned. I love that it shows the meaning of love and what Easter is all about.

You know those books that you don't only read, the ones that you inhale and absorb, this is one if those books.

It's been a little while since I read a young adult book so he fact that the language was so simple and there wasn't any imagery and metaphors really put me off at the start but as soon as the story got going I was HOOKED.

I'm a sucker for character development and getting to delve into the innermost thoughts of the four main characters and learning how they think and how they react, and slowly unravelling the secrets that they keep was such a thrill.

The plot could have been weak and if stop be praising how much I relate to all the characters even in a small way but that's not just it. The story flowed so well, even with the jumps of perspective they just left you hanging and wanting to read more, I never wanted this book to end.

This little world has become so special to me in such a short amount of time that this story and these characters will stay with me long into the future.
