The Hunter's Daughter

De: Nicola Solvinic

Narrado por: Samantha Desz

As seen on the TODAY show as “the best thriller.”

A hypnotic, sinister debut mystery about a seemingly good cop who is secretly the daughter of a notorious serial killer.

Anna Koray escaped her father’s darkness long ago. When she was a girl, her childhood memories were sealed away from her conscious mind by a controversial hypnosis treatment. She’s now a decorated sheriff’s lieutenant serving a rural county, conducting an ordinary life far from her father’s shadow.

When Anna kills a man in the line of duty, her suppressed memories return. She dreams of her beloved father, his hands red with blood, surrounded by flower-decked corpses he had sacrificed to the god of the forest.

To Anna’s horror, a serial killer emerges who is copying her father—and who knows who she really is. Is her father still alive, or is this the work of another? Will the killer expose her, destroying everything she has built for herself? Does she want him to?

But as she haunts the forest, using her father’s tricks to the hunt the killer, will she find what she needs most…or lose herself in the gathering darkness?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Deliciously unpredictable and absolutely engrossing, Nicola Solvinic’s The Hunter’s Daughter is one of the best debuts I’ve read in a very long time. With a dash of magical realism and the kind of complicated, conflicted heroine I love, Solvinic pulls off a nearly impossible feat: making the reader care about a woman who may well be following in her serial killer father’s footsteps. Put The Hunter’s Daughter at the top of your TBR list—I loved this book!”—Karen Dionne, bestselling author The Marsh King's Daughter

“Mystical and entrancing, The Hunter's Daughter plunges you into the deepest, darkest woods to uncover a family's sinister secrets with the one woman brave enough to look evil in the eyes.”—Georgina Cross, author of Nanny Needed

"In The Hunter’s Daughter Nicola Solvinic pulls off a neat trick—getting us to sympathize with the daughter of a serial killer who might just be responsible for a series of murders that closely track her father’s M.O. With a deep sense of place, and enough things to go bump in the night to keep you on the edge of your toes, I was guessing who done it until the final pages."—Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell

Ehhhhh

Kinda disappointed, just seemed to drag on and on. I was expecting a lot more. It was one of those books I felt obligated to finish cause I started it.

What was that?!

My review is as follows, “Um………..”. What did I just read?! (Or listen to.). What I will say is that it was well written. The police procedural ad look into the mind of a killer was a propulsive story. However, the entire forest god thing made the story just weird. I tried to explain this book to my family, and they begged me to stop, and asked what crazy mess I was reading, so yeah.

Dark and interesting

Dark story of a serial killer and fantastic associates. Great thread throughout the story with the kind of twist that most who read this book will appreciate.

I was entertained

Not a bad story. I liked the narrator. I liked the idea of the daughter of a serial killer story but was hoping for a few intense scares I suppose.
