Hunt Me by Heather Hildenbrand
4.0
Rating: 4.5/5 Penguins (rounded down)
Quick Reasons: fated mates; dragon shifters; potent, powerful magics; solid world building; richly descriptive prose; entertaining, could not put it down
HUGE thanks to Heather Hildenbrand for the title! My review is voluntarily written and in no way impacted or altered by this gesture.
She wants it—not like I do, thanks to these double fucking moons, but still. I can scent her desire for me, but she’s not letting herself give in to it. And the longer she resists, the harder it’s becoming for me to keep my hands off her.
She thinks her touch will kill me.
I believe her.
But I’m beginning to think not touching her will have the same effect.
What do you get when you combine fated mates with a "touch him and HE dies" plot twist? You get me, throwing a tuna tantrum all over my bedroom as I watch the story unfold. This is a fast-paced, entertaining, heart-pounding read from start to finish. Heather Hildenbrand also leaves NOTHING to chance, snaring you with sass and holding you hostage with more twists than you'd think possible.
The world building in this read is solid, filled with richly descriptive prose that will enable even the most aphantastic (is that the word?! Ugh) reader to imagine (somehow) what's happening. Dragon shifters matched with potent, powerfully woven magical journeys make this a very hard book to put down once you've picked it up.
“It’s easier to hate you,” I whisper.
“Then hate me, my little assassin. Even while you come for me, while you scream my name and beg for more, loathe me. It won’t stop me from claiming you in the end. From killing for you. From draining you of every drop of cursed poison in your veins. You’re mine, little poisoner. There’s nothing you can do to change that.”
I definitely recommend this to lovers of fated dragon mates romances, dark fae magics, and stories you'll be diving recklessly into. The hunt is begun, Penguins. Are you ready to be claimed?
