Hunter's Prayer

Today’s post is on Hunter's Prayer by Lilith Saintcrow. It is  329 pages long and is published by Orbit Books. The cover is purple with Jill in the center. It is the second in Saintcrow’s Jill Kismet series. The intended reader is someone who has read the first volume likes gritty urban fantasy, and tough female leads. There is foul language, sex and sexuality, and lots of violence in this novel. The story is told from first person close of Jill. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Another night on the Nightside...An ancient evil looms over Santa Luz. Prostitutes are showing up dead and eviscerated. And Jill Kismet just might be able to get her revenge against an old enemy.

There's just one problem. Someone wants Jill dead--again. And if they have to open up Hell itself to kill her, they will.

"Sometimes, even when you're Jill Kismet, you don't have a prayer..."

Review- A wonderful second volume in a fast paced series. This a fast ride of a novel with Jill starting hunting and ending in a bad emotional place. We are still getting to know her and what has happened to her in the past. We see more of her life before she was a hunter and how it affects her. There is some great world building in this volume with more about the different power players around Jill. Jill and Saul’s relationship is more concrete but it is not the focus of the story. Killing the bad guys is the focus and there are so many to choose from. If you like fast, action based urban fantasy then you need to read this series.

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this novel with my own money.
