Hunted

Expected 7 Jul 26Nothing is as it seems.
The Giving Season has ended, but the onset of winter hasn’t brought Wren peace. The king is still after her, and he has more reason than ever to want her dead. In possession of magic she shouldn’t have, she’s desperate to flee the capital.
There’s just one person who can help Gabriel Moreau, the Hunter who chased Wren across the country, duty-bound to bring her to justice. Forced to make the most difficult decision he’s ever faced, Gabriel chooses to break his oath and vows anew to protect Wren. Now, he too will be hunted.
Together, Wren and Gabriel race across the kingdom to escape the king’s wrath. But the cost of safety is steep, and life on the run is more dangerous than ever. Even with the Hunter by her side, their bond growing stronger with each obstacle, Wren is all too aware that everything, especially the notion of safety, is a lie.
This is book two in The Giving Chronicles, and it should be read after Given.

It took me a few solid hours of procrastination before I finally opened Hunted. Why? I’m still not entirely sure. Maybe I was bracing myself for another emotionally chaotic cliffhanger. Maybe I just wasn’t ready.
But the second I started, I was gone.
I was completely consumed. I didn’t put it down — except for a few hours of sleep — and the moment I woke up, I picked it straight back up again. And I was not disappointed.
The slow burn? It is slow… but it is absolutely burning. The tension between Wren and Gabriel simmers in that delicious, almost unbearable way that keeps you glued to the page. And like most of Elayna’s books (and I’ve read nearly all of them), this one is so beautifully plot-driven. Every chapter had me thinking “okay but what happens next?” It’s impossible not to keep turning the pages.
This was everything I’d been waiting for since I finished Given. Watching these characters grow — without losing who they are at their core — is written so beautifully. Their development feels earned, authentic, and layered.
But alas… the ending.
The cliff is very much hanging.
And I have questions. So many questions. I am desperate for answers. I need to know what happens next, and I need it immediately.
If you’ve been waiting to continue Wren and Gabriel’s story — trust me — it’s worth it. Just be prepared to be left wanting more.

Where to start…
Slow burn
Enemies to lovers
Car daddy
Wren and Gabriel are such an amazing couple. Watching Wren discover the world around her while learning to fight and SLOWLY falling love? Yes please.
Gabriel is the ultimate “cat dad.” His history breaks my heart. The fact that he has such a good heart and his moral compass is strong makes him such a great MMC. He truly is selfless and can admit when he was wrong (hello dream man ability lol).
The spice hits at the end of the book and dear goodness 🥵 YES. The build up and tension made these scenes.
Gabriel truly wanted the best for Wren and put her first so many times. I cannot WAIT to see what happens next . Anxiously awaiting the final book ❤️

Absolutely loved Hunted, the second installment of the Giving Chronicles.
Elayna has an amazing storytelling ability that keeps you captivated from the first page.
The tension, the slow burn, the never ending torture Wren must endure, it's deliciously addictive.
I cannot wait for book 3, although Im not sure my heart will be able to take it

Wren is on the run with her Hunter by her side. But everything that can go wrong does. An absolute roller coaster of a read that is so very worth it.
