Well, I think I have officially burned myself out on werewolf novels. Don't get me wrong, I love werewolves.  I just haven't seen anything new lately. Having said that, I did like Hunting Human. It was well written, with a fast pace and good characters.Hunting Human gets of to a suspenseful, terrifying start with the recounting of the events that killed Beth's best friend and changed her life.  She is changed in ways we, the reader, do not even know through the first half of the book. Beth, understandably is traumatized, withdrawn from the life around her. When she meets Braden, she just might find the will to move on with her life.  This couple has amazing chemistry, very well written chemistry supplied by the author. That happened to be my favorite part of the book.  The love scenes were sexy, really sexy, without going over the top, porno style.Some of the secondary characters were lots of fun to read, such as Angie and Marianne, Beth's boss and coworker. Lucy, Braden's sister, was also a nice addition. A few characters, such as Braden's brothers, Chase and Caleb, were just okay for me.  I tended to speed through many of the parts that focused on them.  I literally hated Markko, which speaks well for Alvarez, since he was the book's villain.  And Yikes! He was ferocious.  The scenes told from his point-of-view were definitely hard to read. As were the scenes focusing on the attack of Beth and Rachel.Like I said at the beginning of this review, Hunting Human was a fast, smooth, nicely written book. Hopefully, you're not "werewolf-ed out" like I am, because it is definitely a deserving book.
