Excerpt
“It’s them,” someone shouted. “I know it is. It’s them.”
Genie’s heart nearly stopped.
“Jesus,” Rian exclaimed. “Who the hell?”
“Will they shoot?” Renee asked.
“They don’t want us dead.” Genie muttered tersely. “They’ll want the reward money.”
The powerful searchlight was still seeking them. Rian ducked down beside Genie.
“Start praying.”
“I am praying.”
“Good, ’cause I’m crapping myself here,” Renee said. “Who the hell are they?”
“Bounty hunters. I saw a pair go by earlier.”
Genie and Renee digested this set of facts. Hunters. Hunters meant guns. Big guns. Hunters liked shooting at things.
Professional Reviews
The Hunting
The Hunting has quite a lot of big surprises. Genie and Rian are joined by the sassy Renée as they flee the Fortress. They are hunted down ruthlessly, surviving floods, attacks from the air and storms at sea. Genie nearly freezes to death and the evil Reverend Schnieder is determined to finish her off for good. This is a story about playing God - who should live who should die. You have to read this amazing sequel to The Repossession (which you should also read!)
