Pursued is the sixth installment of this wonderful series.  This one is mostly about Merrick the hybrid Kindred warrior, and Elise, the last human victim of the All Father whom he rescued from oblivion. I will NOT go into the plot or give away any details, but I will say that this story takes off right where REVEALED ended. Pursued is a GREAT read because of the following reasons:FIRST: I LOVE how this book is NOT a "novella" (like some authors put out there for bigger $$ for a handful of pages), it is a full blown, FULL LENGTH, E Ticket ride of a book, as is all the others in this series. Involved, well written and good mix of HOTNESS along with a GREAT STORY to back it up.SECOND: Pursued is a great mix of HOT (you know what I mean) and STORY, without one trying to overtake the other. You don't get over or under on the HOT part or the story, just the right combo.THIRD: YES, you need to read the others in the series to fully appreciate and "get" this story.#1) CLAIMED (lays the groundwork and base of the story, and a great read)#2) HUNTED#3) SOUGHT#4) FOUND#5) REVEALED#6) PURSUED (this book I'm reviewing)FOURTH: I liked that the author wrote disclaimers at the beginning of this book, warning of a sensitive subject matter that my upset some readers.  This warning is up front and shows she really cares about her readers.  Giving them the choice.FIFTH: Merrick and Elise are the focus of this book, but there is still the same characters we've grown to love scattered throughout this edition and their continued trials, tribulations and interpersonal relationships that are always intersecting to keep everything going and moving along and maturing.SIXTH: This book is available on a lot of different formats, so when I recommend it to my friends who have a Nook or a Sony device for example, they can get it.SEVENTH: Makes you want the next edition ASAP, and this author doesn't wait forever to get out the next installment (WHEW!) Next installment she says is out in Fall 2012, and I'll be awaiting it with an eager Kindle!ALL of the books in this series are excellent for the fantasy/escapist quality and plot lines it presents & I never want it to end. Out of all the books & authors I read in this genre, this is the one series that consistently delivers fresh & different but still continues to follow the original plot/story so well. It is like getting a good fix of everything you like (or maybe some you don't or never thought about & didn't know you did... ;-) and it just keeps on coming. Such a nice escape and guilty pleasure to read Evangeline Anderson. Pursued is an excellent installment to the world she's built for the Brides of the Kindred series.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONS: If you want a stand alone book, Pursued will be difficult to understand if read by itself.  It was meant to be another episode per say, and those who want it to be a stand alone can find it confusing and may not appreciative all the other characters fully.  This should be read in the order that it was meant.  I, personally, like to know this up front, before I get involved with a book.Since I'm not going into the plot, I can say this is a satisfying read and a perfect installment of this series.  If you've read the others, the $2.99 you drop for this installment is so much worth it.  I would gladly pay more for it, and I'm impressed this author keeps her prices reasonable for the consumer.  I'm a fan and will continue to follow & recommend this series as well as this installment.This series is as HOT as the story is COOL & Pursued is another example of a satisfying purchase/read for this series.Such a Happy Camper!
