I admit, I have been waiting anxiously for Hunted to come out for months since reading Branded and it did not let me down. I started the book before work and finished it after work that same day. It picks up a few months after we left Lexi and Cole after having escaped the Hole. The story revisits previous characters, even the ones we lost, and adds new depths to their stories from the first book. Hunted itself is very fast paced and there isn't a dull moment. It transitions from one action scene to the next flawlessly and makes it impossible to put it down. Lexi and Cole's back stories are given more details and we really get to see how everything fits together. I loved seeing how the Hole has transitioned under Wilson's command while still feeling very familiar and comfortable with the setting we have come to know. Abi and Missy did a great job reminding us of important places and events from the first book, really connecting it to the first part of the story. I love that Cole's backstory gives us so much more insight into Lexi's life and how exactly she ended up in the situation she found herself in in the beginning of Branded. I'm dying to see what happens in the final book, Liberated. The wait might just kill us, but you now what they say...you can overcome anything short of death.

Worth The Wait

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015

Hunted is the second book in the Sinners trilogy. The long wait for the Branded follow up was well worth it and once again Ketner and Kalicicki did not disappoint. Ketner and Kalicicki shine as writers, creating the most amazing visuals, allowing the reader to whole heartedly be immersed in this story and connect effortlessly with the fast paced and action packed nature, that is Hunted.

“The air is thick with dust and death.”

Hunted begins with Cole & Lexi living life on the run. There are wanted posters of them and their friends everywhere and it seems that the head of powers at the Hole will not rest until they have captured everyone; especially Lexi. It seems at every turn there is somebody looking for them, with a one track mind focused on capture or death. As Cole and Lexi use all their strength and resources to constantly fight for their freedom, it seems like life is an endless loop of unfortunate events.

As we know the origins of Cole and Lexi’s love story, we also are made aware of the fact that unfortunately the past is a ghost in their relationship. Making it hard to move forward, feel safe and trust one another. Their relationship is dealing with dynamics that are not prevalent in the development of a normal love story and because of this their chemistry and positive and negative tension is heightened intensely throughout the book.

For reasons out of their control we watch Cole, Lexi and gang return back to the Hole, with the hope of finally putting its deranged leaders and followers to an end. With the intention to reignite the resistance and set the sinners in the Hole free, we witness each person put themselves through gruelling suffering and heartache, in order to contribute to the desired outcome of freedom.

With surprises around every corner we follow these amazingly dedicated people into a world of danger, horror and the unknown. And sadly we once again witness deceit, suffering and great loss due to their return to the Hole. The question that readers will be asking is, are they going to make it out of their alive?

Once again Ketner and Kalicicki will leave you on the edge of your seat, impatiently awaiting the next instalment. Your heart will be beating outside your chest as your mind is taken on the most gut-wrenching and fear filled adventures literature has to offer.

“Lexi Hamilton, Lust. In love with Cole Veneti, a former guard. Falsely accused but it no longer matters to me who they think I am. Brands don’t define who we are, you have the power to decide that on your own. I might be damaged but I’m not broken. Believe me, you can overcome anything short of death.”

“Cole Veneti, unbranded but I’ll be damned if I don’t deserve to be branded with every one of the seven sins. Former guard turned resistance member with Zeus, the best dog you’ve ever met. Lexi Hamilton rescued me from the hellish life I was living. I’m sorry for the past but I hope to redeem myself this time around. If we manage to band together and stop hating each other, then we can beat the system. NEVER GIVE UP HOPE.”

and I loved it just as much

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2016

Hunted in just a few words is simply mind-blowing. It’s not often that a book I read almost a year ago sticks with me when the next book in the series releases. That point right there is a testament to how well this writing duo crafts a novel. Hunted is just as fast-paced as Branded, and I loved it just as much. Sequels for me typically fall into two categories: Insta-Love or Insta-No. You can probably surmise that that Hunted falls into the first category.

Lexi and Cole shine in this book as they struggle to stay away from the past they left behind in the hole. The love between these two characters is so genuine and heartwarming against the darkness of the world they live in. My favorite character of all would have to be Zeus. He’s quirky and just plain funny at times, and that’s saying something since he is a dog. The authors beautifully mix the light against the dark plot lines and keep readers continually engaged throughout the entire story. While some readers will moan at yet another cliffhanger, I was delighted by it only because that means we will get another book in this series. My only hope is that I can get to it far sooner than I got to read this one.

I loved the first one

I loved the first one, this one, I just can't get into for some reason. It seems aimless, run, safe, fight, run, safe, fight, etc for almost the whole book. I feel like if it were a movie I'd label it 'the guy movie' with more action than story. Hey, finally a dystopian for the guys lol, one that's not mostly about relationships !!

Gripping read.

WOW! Abi and Missy certainly know how to weave you into the heart of the story.

Loved Cole and Lexi, they need each other, not only as friends and lovers but because they have been through so much together, we join them a few month after Branded ends, they are trying to survive, but are now being Hunted!!! Wilson, the Commander, wants them captured, well Lexi, Cole will be collateral damage.

When we catch up with them on the outside, they are moving from safe house to safe house, but guards are chasing them, we find out there are wanted posters everywhere, then they meet up with Sutton, who was part of the resistance when they got away from The Hole, we find out that Wilson has been carrying out experiments on the Sinners.

Sadly Sutton s captured and Lexi and Cole end up back where they started, where they are attempting to rescue Sutton, Oh My Word! they are the toughest pair ever, thy are joined by Bruno and Grace. Bruno is also an ex-guard as is Cole, and also their friend. Grace is Bruno's wife and also become friends with Lei. a somewhat 'normal' part of their extraordinary existence.

Having lost a lot of her family Lexi is hellbent on getting justice for them all, but its not easy. They are badass and you are certainly kept on the edge of your seat. This is a thrilling suspense of will they/wont they; they have Sinners help them, and also try turn them in, but they stay steadfast and fight an amazing battle, sadly not everyone makes it out, but I do think Lexi and Cole deserve to make it through.

When we meet her mother, WOW, was not expecting that turn of events, and now I want the next installment, Liberated like NOW! Can't wait.

Brilliant sequel

Cole and Lexi are back in the sequel to the superb Branded. And of course their is Zeuse who you just have to love. Hunted is one action backed book from beginning to end, with a bit of romance thrown in. Only way I would improve this book would be by making some scenes between lexi and cole more New adult style but that's just personal preference. If you read the first book this is a must read. :)

I've waited a long time for this book and it was well worth the wait! I never give spoilers but suffice to say it's worth five stars. Packed full of action from start to end! I can't wait for the next book!
