Book Review: The Girl and the Hunt by A.J. Rivers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am really enjoying this series! This one gave us more information into Emma’s dads disappearance and her mother’s death. Catch Me is continuing to taunt Emma and she is trying to figure out the clues to find him. The only thing I didn’t like about the book is the cliff hanger ending. Thank goodness I have access to the whole series, so I was able to start soon!

While there are some editorial errors in this series of books (proofreaders were badly needed) The series has kept me enthralled and I am constantly waiting for the terrible thing to happen or the secrets that link everything together to be exposed.

I love series that carries on from the other books in the series, but this series has me so confused, granted, not as confused as the other books in the series. Had I not read the others, who knows how confused I’d be! The back and forth.....ugh!
This book does start to clear up a few things,, but not enough.

"There is no justice when someone is murdered."
The Girl and the Hunt is book 6 in the Emma Griffin FBI mysteries and we are finally getting answers about Emma's family.
This book unlike the other books in the series has little short chapters where we get to see other's points of view. During these points of view, we get to see things from the past, that help us learn more about Emma's stalker and her trying to find out what happened to her dad. We also have her back in Feathered Nest where this all started and she is now once again connected to another murder. Whoever is stalking her is now also leading her on a wild goose chase of sorts and it's getting deadlier for everyone closer to.
The Girl on the Hunt also brings a new potential future mystery-solving partner in for Emma by the name of Dean. We met him first on the train in the last one and it turns out they are more connected than that and have been trying to find one of the same people. While Emma of course doesn't trust him fully, she does rely on him some to help her find some info out. This book also heavily involves Bellamy and Eric again and we see Emma really relying on them more and more of their friendship dynamic.
"This person is doing this because of me. Like I said, this is a game. A sick, twisted, screwed-up, patented by Hades himself game, but a game. And he doesn't want to play with you. He wants to play with me... So let me play."
Overall I think this one might be my favorite of the series so far because of how much we found out in it. Not only are we finally getting answers about Emma's parents, but also answers about the stalker we've seen her dealing with throughout the series as well.
I loved seeing all the flashbacks from different people as it helped piece things together and what has been happening for the past ten plus years and how things got to the point that they are now that Emma is involved or at least a target in them.
I cannot wait to read book seven and see hopefully how this all wraps up as I'm really hoping we get some official answers as to why this is happening to her and those around her.

Okay, so here we are, six books in. The promise of answers to Emma's mystery is finally a reality and not just a promise so I was very compelled to read this book. It was a little slow at first and I think the main thing that does that for me is the Lotan/Leviathan thing is... somewhat boring? It's interesting in Emma's eyes but I feel that getting the inside look from the other perspectives is confusing and reveals things in a way that isn't exactly interesting but kind of spoils things and I'd rather just see what's going on with our dear Emma.
The writing here is somewhat not as great as the others, and the author has put out so many of these books in such a short time I wonder if that affects the quality and I certainly wouldn't mind a little more wait if that is something AJ needs, but they're still well-written, some habits like putting all of the thoughts into paragraphs when dialogue might have been more fun come up quite a bit in this book but by the last 30% of the book I was a lot more interested and excited in what was going on.
