Malam, where Britta lived, had banned and shunned Channelers, women with a magic of the elements that the laypeople here were superstitiously afraid of. The world was built of 2 major kingdoms who were at the brink of war. *gasp* Like that wasn’t something you were expecting…*insert sarcasm* Then of course, she finds out there’s something different about her. Nothing too too special at the start of it all, one of those ordinary girls who was ignored or even shunned by others. Britta was the kinda protagonist I liked.

So yes, that might have played a huge role in building up my expectations of its awesomeness.įor a debut novel, I applaud Summerill for a fast-paced story that did its best in a promising adventure, a sweet romance and a world full of magic. And soon she will learn what has always made her different will make her a daunting and dangerous force.Įver the Hunted was a mix of every fantasy archetype that I could think of, which ultimately resulted in a less-than-amazing read for me.įirst off, let me just say that I waited for this book to come for almost over a year. But Britta wields more power than she knows. She must go on a dangerous quest in a world of warring kingdoms, mad kings, and dark magic to find the real killer. The boy she once loved who broke her heart. The alleged killer is none other than Cohen McKay, her father’s former apprentice. When Britta is caught poaching by the royal guard, instead of facing the noose she is offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for her father’s killer.

Now outcast and alone and having no rights to her father’s land or inheritance, she seeks refuge where she feels most safe: the Ever Woods. She spends her days tracking criminals alongside her father, the legendary bounty hunter for the King of Malam-that is, until her father is murdered.

Seventeen year-old Britta Flannery is at ease only in the woods with her dagger and bow.
