NAKED CAME THE HUNTER
NAKED CAME THE HUNTER
The mountains of West Virginia become clouded in mystery when hikers find a dying man in the unforgiving wilderness. Something… or someone… savaged him nearly to death. His body shredded, left to die in the dense forest… alone.
Summoning help, they carry him to their community. As he struggles to survive, the strange man cannot comprehend the vision of several naked men fighting to save his life. Naked? How can this be?
Upon arrival at the secluded Eagle Mountain Naturist Enclave, a retired trauma surgeon is thrust into a desperate race against time to save the life of a mysterious stranger. His bones shattered, back ripped apart, and skull fractured, he suffers from a major concussion. Amnesia stripped him of any memory of his past and even his identity. The horrifying experience that nearly took his life remains walled away in the darkest corners of his subconscious.
Saved by these peculiar people, he struggles with the stark reality of his broken body. He must cope with this alien place where nobody wears clothes. The free-spirited nudists of the Eagle Mountain Naturist Enclave must learn what happened to this man. Does the attacker that tried to kill him still lurk in the forest nearby? Is there a threat to the entire community?
Will he survive to unravel the mystery? Can he regain his memory in time to expose the truth behind an attack that nearly killed him?
Journey into the heart of the Eagle Mountain Naturist Enclave in this gripping tale of survival, redemption, and self-discovery where the scars of the body and mind reveal naked truths that bind us all.

Thank you to NetGalley, Cyclone Creek Novels, and M.J. Edington for the opportunity to read and review this book before it’s published.
I originally requested to read this book based on the cover. After reading the description I thought I would give it a chance. It’s not something I would have typically read but I’m glad I did!
This book is nothing like anything I’ve read before. A man is brutally beaten in the woods and cared for by members of a naturalist community. I anticipated this book to be immature and awkward but it was the complete opposite. While there’s plenty of mention of the nudist way of life, there was no graphic details that would make anyone uncomfortable. The author himself is a naturalist so it seemed like it was authentically written.
This book is so well written! I think it’s the best written book I’ve read in a long time. The author uses incredible vocabulary and explanations. The characters were beautifully developed and very likeable. Jenny and Becky seem like the sweetest little family, and Sam/Jesse is the perfect addition to the community.
The plot was interesting and kept me interested. It was a long book but definitely didn’t feel like nearly 400 pages. The author does a great job of keeping every chapter intriguing. The chapters range from short to medium in length. Each chapter has a title so you can expect what’s to come.
This was the first I’ve read from this author and I’m looking forward to reading more. This is definitely a 4.5⭐️ star book. It’s been listed as a thriller but I would say it’s more general fiction. There is aspects of a thriller, but not enough that I would classify it as such. There was one accidental typo early on when Jenny calls Sam “Jesse” before we find out his actual name.
The statement of “never judge a book by its cover” is really accurate to this book. I would absolutely recommend it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Naked Came The Hunter is a heart-pounding mystery that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go until the very end. From the moment I cracked open the book, I was swept away into the unforgiving wilderness of West Virginia, where danger lurks behind every tree. The intricate plot kept me guessing at every turn, and I found myself completely immersed in the desperate race against time to uncover the truth. But what truly hooked me was the raw emotion and vulnerability of the characters, making their journey one I won't soon forget.

Thank you for the advanced copy of Naked Came the Hunter. M.J. Edington introduced me to the word of naturalist in this story of a man beaten and left for dead found by members of a nudist enclave. Waking from his near death, Sam has not memory of who he is or what happened. What unfolds is a story of understanding and discovery wrapped in a thriller.

Exciting.
Well written and hard to put down. The author has a god given talent for writing. As a retired infantryman I suspected the author had some tactical training. Little did I know. Being a combat veteran myself I really enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading more from Mr. Edington.

Great, quick read
I liked the characters - especially Becky - and how true it is to life at a family nudist resort. Really enjoyed it, Mel!!
