Summary

"They call me the half-breed.

The first time they killed me, I was ten.

They've been hunting me all my life.

It's time I stopped running."

Born of a Bastian mother and a Crovir father, a half-breed who is abhorred by the two Immortal races, Lucas Soul spends the first 350 years of his existence being chased and killed by the Hunters.

One fall night in Boston, the Hunt starts again, resulting in Soul's 15th death and triggering a chain of events that sends him on the run with Reid Hasley, a former US Marine and his human business partner. From Paris to Prague, their search for answers leads them deep into the Immortal societies and brings them face-to-face with someone from Soul's past. Shocking secrets are revealed and fresh allies come to the fore as they uncover a new and terrifying threat to both immortals and humans. 

To defeat his enemies, Soul must embrace his tortured fate and become the Hunter. But time is running out. Can he protect the ones he loves and prevent another Immortal War before his 17th and final death?

Hunted is the first installment in AD Starrling's best-selling supernatural thriller series, Seventeen. If you like high-octane, fast-paced adventures that combine science and fantasy, then you'll love the world of Seventeen.

Action packed

If you like plenty of action and intrigue then you will love this book.
17 deaths now that’s a good number some would love to have.
Immortals that can actually die makes you think of the series highlander but this is more high tech with teams

One long fight

Had it been a paper copy I’d have read first and last chapter and ignored the rest

Dull

I normally listen to most books I buy, but this one I had to give up on. it drifted into background noise, I've tried to listen to the first 5 chapters at least seven times! How it got so many good reviews is beyond me.

Well worn themes that are not well executed.

There appeared to be a few aspects that seemed entertaining although they had been done before.

The themes of immortality (Highlander) and feuding secret societies of supernatural beings hiding in plain sight (Underworld) have been entertaining and I was prepared to believe that there was something more that could be said. Unfortunately this is so very uninventive and adds nothing.

It is not well performed and there were even a few persistent pronunciation mistakes that made it a jarring listen at times.

Adding insult to injury was the apparently Slavic character named Anatoly, who’s distinctive accent could only be described as Scottish, but only because that’s as close as the performer could get to Russian or whatever it was actually supposed to be.

I should have enjoyed this but

The plot was too thin and the characters not well defined enough for me to care what happened to them. It’s probably not fair to compare other authors to Jim Butcher but that is how a story could be told. Too often a book is sold as ‘for readers of Jim Butcher’.

Childish

While the story showed promise to be the start of an interesting series, it quickly unravelled to be the childish story writing of a character who has everything prepared for them, no great struggle no learning curve, with an ex marine/ cop who can lockpick, the main character just happens to have a katana and be an expert wielder of the swords. There was no difficulty or struggle and no explanation throughout the book why he is hunted other than two rival immortal houses. Who are rivals for no apparent reason. Add into that the car chases and gun fights where logic seems to be out the window while the hero swings his prestigious swords round. Not to mention the incestuous relationship shrugged off as completely normal, the book seemed so childish written and the narrator mispronounced several words throughout the book which is somewhat jarring when you realise what word he says.
