Hunter's Trail

By: Melissa F. Olson

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Length: 12 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's Summary

Actions have consequences—a lesson Scarlett Bernard is learning the hard way. As a “null,” Scarlett has always been able to negate the powers of the supernatural beings that surround her. But now her reckless decision to permanently change Eli from a werewolf to a human has left the Los Angeles werewolf pack in shambles, and upset the balance of power among the city’s supernatural factions. To make matters worse, Scarlett’s employers discover that a newly changed werewolf is running amok in the city. To catch the rogue werewolf, Scarlett will need help from both Eli and Detective Jesse Cruz of the LAPD…a situation that will force her to finally choose between them.

However, Scarlett and her friends aren’t the only ones on the hunt—someone else is chasing the wolf. Someone with no reservations about collateral damage. Now Scarlett and her allies must stop both the rogue wolf and the deadly hunter before the full moon rises and all hell breaks loose.

Filled with the same suspense and wit readers loved in Dead Spots and Trail of Dead, this may be Scarlett Bernard’s most harrowing adventure yet....

great story as always....

good set up an awesome characters that have a honest an real feel about then.....from the moment jessie sees the "demon dog" till the end this one had me laughing out loud while still on my edge of my seat waiting to see how it all ends. i read / listen to ALOT of books an usual see the twists an turns long before they play out...which is disappointing sometimes...one thing i can say for this whole series so far....i can never truly figure out all the little details and endings. this writer has a way of truly catching me off guard an keeping a few aces up her sleeves right up until the end. while never making the plot muddy or the characters wish washy ....if anything one if her best tricks is making then so 3d and human like that it defies the cliches ...the standerd roles...the tired out concepts an the normal play ups.... her books are not what had became the normal cookie cutter worlds (ya maybe some are a new shape but in the end the little new details still are a cookie cutter ) her worlds an the people in them shift ...grow and become truly effected by the drama an trauma they endure...they just dont go through hell an then poof next chaper next story they are all good an still the exact character they were in the first book. no instead like what real people would do they slowly learn from...grow bitter because or struggle to maintain them selves after so many life altering events happens to them...awesome writing more so when considering how relatively new this writer is to the scene!!!!!

This one focuses on Werewolves

If you could sum up Hunter's Trail in three words, what would they be?

Really great narration

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hunter's Trail?

I really like the Scarlett Bernard character, and truly most of the characters are compelling. I'm not a "Werewolf fan, so I did not enjoy the story so much. This is purely a matter of my personal taste and not a reflection of the story.

Which character – as performed by Amy McFadden – was your favorite?

Oh man, this narrator ROCKS. Outstanding performance with multiple characters, all easily distinguished with her expert elocution.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I would not make a film of this book.

Any additional comments?

*please see all my reviews for similar titles I enjoyed. As a narrator myself, I tend to focus on the audio presentation.

fantastic

Great narration and another awesome story by Melissa Olson!
So often I'm disappointed in the narrator, but not this time, she does a wonderful job.
Also, this is part of a series, not a stand alone, so make sure you've got the correct reading order.

Impressed!!!

I said in my reviews of the last two books that I had read the last trilogy first because I didn't know there was other books. Just reading this trilogy alone has answered so many questions I had from doing that. The narrator was fantastic in this. She did do a way better job in the third trilogy, but I'm sure that's to be expected. Her performance has improved just in this trilogy! I'd love to hear other books she has narrated. I loved this book. I loved the entire trilogy and can't wait to read the second trilogy set. I fully recommend them all. I can't remember how I stumbled upon them at this point, but I am so glad I did! I hope there will be more to read in the future!!!

Winter's Trail

Love these books! Melissa is an amazing writter, I would love to meet her some time.

Another Great Book

I absolutely loved this book. This is another can not put it down by Mesissa Olson!

Satisfying

A good ending to a great trilogy. I can't wait to read more of Melissa F. Olsen's work and I hope there is more to come with Scarlett Barnard!

Hunters Trail

Gave it a five star rating. Loved the story, but was sad about Jesse. Hope to read more of these stories.

Exciting adventure

Loved this author's books. I am on team Jesse. This was so exciting. Loved the narrators who just enhanced a great story. Every time I think the stories can't get any better, they do. Just sit back read and listen....it's an amazing adventure.

One of the strongest in the series

I got hooked on this series having listened to the most recent novel and then worked my way through the series. This one has a stronger, more complex narrative as well as a stronger emotional context. The reader suits the tone and fortunately she only has to tackle a few accents so it's smoother. Shall now have to wait for the next publication!

Excellent

Not my normal genre but totally loved these books, now at a loss for what to read next!

Really good urban fantasy

It took me a while to warm up to Scarlett in the first book in the series, Dead Spots, because her character was so jaded. However by this third book she's developed into not only likeable but really "laugh out loud" funny with her wicked sense of humour. I can usually tell when the writing is good because I'm engaged throughout the book and don't really notice "the writing". This was certainly true for all of the books in this series. I feel I've found another favourite urban fantasy author and I'll be looking forward to the next book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes this sort of genre. If you're looking for romance it's there, with an interesting love triangle for Scarlett. However the "love scenes" aren't anything like as "detailed" as many paranormal romance or some other urban fantasy books. The focus is definitely more on the "action" and this has a complicated enough plot to keep you guessing. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. Again, I wasn't sure initially about the narrator as I found her voice a bit "whiny" at times. However, now I'm used to her voice I think she did a great job that definitely enhanced the story.

First Class

The last in the series what a shame. The whole trilogy was a pleasure to listen to, story narration and characters were first class. Highly recommended. I really could find little fault as each book really fleshed out the people and the stories moved along at a good pace.
