Christine A. (965 KP) rated The Rabbit Hunter (Joona Linna #6) in Books
Mar 26, 2020 (Updated Mar 26, 2020)
6th book in the series. Can stand-alone but read the earlier ones first.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
The Rabbit Hunter is the 6th novel in the Joona Linna series written by Lars Kepler. Kepler is the pseudonym of husband and wife team Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril.
While it is the 6th in the series, it can stand alone. However, you should read the earlier novels to really understand the characters.
Kepler's books are detailed and gritty. They are not set nor originally published in the US. Be warned! There is gore. That being said, the books I have read in the series are captivating. This one, not so much. I do recommend reading it but it was missing something. I am not sure if the cause was the translation or the original text.
Joona was not as strong of a presence as in prior books. He is released from jail just to help solve the case of the rabbit hunter. Instead of focusing on the case, he plans for life after prison and without working as a police officer. It is in his blood. It is who he is.
I will read book 7 and hope it was only this book or its translation I found lacking. I thoroughly enjoyed the others in the series.

I've had Agatha All Along stuck in my head for weeks and I'm not even mad about it.
This series is wonderfully paced, brimming with moments for both fans of the movies and comics alike, really fleshes out Wanda's trauma in a meaningful way, sets up SO much of what's to come, and hits all the right emotional buttons along the way.
The first of many MCU series coming to Disney+ landed and dispelled most doubts about this chosen format for this phase, and I'm excited for what comes next.

I loved the Vampire Academy series and held off reading this for ages thinking it might not have grabbed me as much as the other series but you know what? I got really into it! I always find Richelle's story quick and easy reads and this was no exception. If I could have, I'd have read this in one sitting but two long working days back to back ruined that idea and it's taken me four/five days instead.
I can't wait to read the rest of these books!!

FINALLY! You get to know how most of the story wraps up. Do you get everything squared away? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Why? Because the grotty unrealistic sex scenes are back again! ahhhhh what a way to ruin this!
If anyone wants to re-write this series with better sex scenes (less the ohhh baby) or just to remove them completely then let me know and I will be happy to read them. Until then, I have enough to meet my curiosity of how this turns out and therefore will not be revisiting this series or the author!

Such epicness
I went into this wondering if I would enjoy this. The film was one of my favourites growing up even though I'm sure it scared the bejeebus out of me. The series managed to hold on to all the elements I loved from the original movies whilst stepping up and became something new. They would not have achieved this if they had used any other medium. The puppets were brilliantly made, used and just a joy to watch.

Weird & weirder
A hard series to explain, especially with out giving much away. It's good and interesting but a few episodes are very slow. Also the type of series that builds up to a certain moment. It won't be for everyone. However if you like things a bit odd and not main stream this is for you.
