Huntress

By: Devin Thorpe

Narrated by: Bonnie Walsh

Men are strong. Women are weak. It’s the way the gods made us.

At least, those were the last words my father said to me before the king called for a military draft. I may be a woman, but the king shows no prejudice when it comes to citizens serving the Areopagus.

Father told me what I can expect from war: "You will die before you ever see war. Men will put you in the dust and trample over you. And that is just the men. The Undead will do worse. They will feed on your blood until you are too weak to stand. They will leave you for the Lycans to pick your body apart like jackals."

We live in a world filled with monsters—monsters who perceive themselves as superior to humanity. It's up to me to prove their superiority is misplaced, and I won't stop until they fear my new name—Huntress.

really good story, really great narrator.

The storyline was well thought out and highly entertaining. I enjoyed the character development, and the scenes were exciting.
*Please pay attention to the trigger warnings. This is a story about war, and atrocities are committed.*

The narrator did a phenomenal job of digging into the depths of the story without being overly dramatic. Her pacing, her diction, her ability to convey the 'feelings' of the story we're all first rate. She gets five stars.

Creative world building

The narrator did an excellent job putting the right emotions and energy where needed. There are a lot of moving parts and in the beginning where you are being told of the different species and etc, that was a little bit of an overload for me BUT as the story started I felt the explanations of everything was clear. I wasn’t confused. Great story arc and I love seeing an FMC growth into a badass.

Amazing!

“You’re not weak; you’ve never been weak. Your only mistake was letting this world convince you otherwise.”


I absolutely loved this story. It’s such an amazing tale of mental and physical strength. The narrator did an incredible job of immersing you in the story. I even got emotional, especially with the brutal scene in the beginning. One thing I love in my books is a strong female protagonist, and the huntress was everything I could have wanted. Her character development was amazing, and the addition of the hellcat was so cool. I loved the meaning behind her presence.

Everything you need...

The story, the plot and the adventure are everything. I loved the parts that made me giggle, the parts that made me sad and the parts that made me mad. Everything you need in the first Deadlands Duology. I can't wait for the second book to come out to find out where the story goes!

Epic story brought to life!

This is a prequel to Devin Thorpe’s debut novel, Bloodlust. This is not my typical genre because I find it hard to keep up, but Devin’s storytelling flows seamlessly and provides vivid scenes that make you feel immersed in the story. I loved the book and hearing the characters come time life made me feel like I was experiencing it all again for the first time. Wonderful job by the voice actors. I can’t wait to hear what story will come next from Thorpe!
