Santino and Silva

The Hunted is a dark romantic suspense/thriller that will captivate you and keep you fully engaged until the very end. Santino is a FBI agent who moonlights as a serial killer. He doesn’t have a love life-until he meets Silva. He becomes obsessed with her. She brings him to life. But, he’s being hunted. He is actually afraid for her. What will happen between Santino and Silva? Who is the reaper? Who else is hunting? Sit back, relax and get ready for a wild ride.
The dual narration by Violet Strong and Ryan Pierson was phenomenal. Violet Strong was brilliant as sweet, sassy, slightly unhinged Silva. All of her complex emotions were clearly evident in her voice. Ryan Pierson was delightful as alpha, obsessive, possessive, definitely unhinged Santino. The sexy, sultry tone he used with Silva was positively swoon worthy. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.
Thanks to the author and Pink Flamingo Productions for this ALC.
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Story 5 stars Narration 5 stars

Excellent Suspense!

Wow! Sooo Suspenseful! I loved every second of this one! Definitely kept me glued to my earbuds! I liked how Santino is a self aware man. He knows how to handle the hunger but also understands he has limits as well. The author does a great job giving us multiple characters who could be the Reaper making it more difficult to figure out. Just when we think we know whats going on…surprise the author changes it up! This one is crazy good and I look forward to more in this series and from this author. The narration in here is top notch as they both do an outstanding job portraying these characters.

Good one

Ooh I loved this one! There was a lot of twists and turns that had me highly invested! And I absolutely love the serial unaliver working for the fbi books! Would definitely recommend this one

Killers hunting Killers!

The way I was consumed with this book should be concerning. This audiobook had me wanting to hit ignore when the phone rang and not wanting to stop to have conversations. It is absolutely consuming, I want/need more from these characters! FBI agents with secrets while hunting killers who are more vigilantes but working in the shadows and toying with Santiago. If you like dark romance/mystery/suspense/serial killers, then this one is for you. If you're not sure if it's for you just give it a try! BTW I already got my sister to listen to this one and that's a huge compliment. I told her she needed to listen to it because I wanted to talk about it! She stayed up to finish it!

A Killer of a Story & Listen🎧 Twisted & Intense!

Nicole Banks pens a killer of a novel, a dark and twisted romance with a side of mystery and suspense that takes you to the edge of your seat, keeps you thinking and on your toes. It is an original, fast-moving story with interesting storylines that captivate your attention the entire time. The story follows FBI Agent Santino Alvarez, a man with a forgotten past, and one who takes his sworn to serve and protect to another level, on his own time, of course. Santino was not a people person and never had much of an interest in getting involved with anyone until he met her, Silvia Hunt, who took him by surprise. Banks created a complex tale with equally complex characters, not your usual FBI agent on the case of multiple homicides, and not your typical serial killer either. To make it even more interesting is when the hunter becomes the hunted, and trying to figure out by whom, there is some competition out there and the outcome is not one you would expect. Yeah, I am keeping it vague, not to spoil anything, because it is best to go in knowing as little as possible and enjoy the dark and twisted ride as it plays out. It was great watching Santino and Silvia’s relationship form and grow, and learning more about them and their pasts. This cleverly plotted story has plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, mystery, thrilling and suspenseful moments, and a slow-burn romance. Nicole Banks, thanks for the terrific story, a wild and twisted ride, and an ending that leaves you wanting more.
