** Warning: This review will contain spoilers!! **In book two with the Patroness of Paris, we follow Maiwenn as she tries to unravel the mystery of people going missing throughout the city. The dreaded Turn is at their doorstep and Maiwenn is determined to keep the city safe despite leaked magic wreaking havoc.  And she’s certainly got her hands full because now Kylian is 100% back in the picture, along with the whole motley crew of vampires, demons, and shape shifters.I enjoyed this book, but can honestly say that I’m not thrilled to read the third. I liked how vibrant the characters are and how much they add to the story. And I’m a history buff, so anytime I get to read about the magical city of Paris I’m happy. But the Patroness and Kylian’s relationship is ridiculous. I mean, we’re two books in and now at the end they’re going on a date? Really? It took two whole books? I’m not one to give up on a series, but this has frustrated me. Somehow, Pauline and Ben’s relationship stole the show as they quickly moved into being mated. Even when Ben gave the heartwarming advice to Maiwenn (and I’m sure all fans where nodding in agreement) but they both continued to drag out their relationship. When things like this happen, I tend to let a series go. It doesn't seem fair to the reader and I’d much rather have the mystery of the fog continuing into book three than the Maiwenn/Kylian fiasco.Regarding Pauline and Ben- I loved Ben. How his character came in and stole the romance show just shows how ineffective drawing out Maiwenn and Kylian’s relationship is. If I do decide to pick up book three, I’d be more interested in learning how Pauline and Ben’s relationship progresses than the main characters. Pauline is such an interesting fairy and I feel like I didn't learn much about her.Over all, The Hunt is On is a fun book and those who don’t mind Maiwenn’s painstakingly slow relationship will enjoy it. I give The Hunt is On 4 out of 5 stars.
