Fantastic 5-Star Read

The Hunted by Jeff Wheeler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Another fabulous story and series with Jeff Wheeler. This is the second installment in the Dawning of Muirwood series and tensions continue to be high as things continue to happen and evolve in this second book of this series.
This picks up right where the first book, The Druid, left off and continues on with Eilean figuring things out with her friends and having to face and find/see people for who they really are. She has to make some choices that aren’t easy and resist temptation to fall or stay with the easiness of things and instead continue to forge her own path forward to find the answers and do the right thing. The relationship between Eilean and Captain Hoel is very intriguing and gets more interesting as things go on with the story. Eilean has to find her way to help an Aldermaston that has been sentenced to death and tasked with keeping an ancient tome safe, while translating and learning from it. Captain Hoel is sent to track Eilean to get the ancient tome of magic from her and finds himself in a strange position in regards to how their relationship is developing. There are also secrets and mystical, magical places and things as Muirwood is known for and it’s amazing how things are woven together throughout to all come out to make sense with everyone and everything by the end of this book.
As per usual, I couldn’t stop reading once I started and finished it all in one sitting or a few hours because I wanted to know what was going to happen and how it was all going to fit. This didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait to read the last installment of the series and see how everything turns out in the very end. Make sure to pick this one up – you don’t want to miss it.
Thanks so much to Jeff Wheeler, 47 North, and NetGalley for letting me read and review this fantastic story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
