It has been seven years since the virus took everyone I loved. A part of me died that day, and since then, my life has been filled with fear. Today should be no different. But it is. I'm in his city, taunting him as he hunts me. Running from the Skull—one of Glasgow's most violent groups—should make me scared, terrified even, but all I feel is alive.
I was so ready to give this book 5 stars just for the experience 🫦 I had an absolute blast reading it. The vibe? Think Ice Planet Barbarians, but swap the monsters for some good old-fashioned dismemberment. All the tropes are done so well I couldn’t stop giggling. Highly recommend for an easy read and two delightfully chaotic evenings.
This book was over the course of 3 days. You could flick through the book and still know what’s going on with the lack of detail. This probs needed to be proofread, grammar was shocking.
It was okay. There were certainly plenty of grammar issues. I enjoyed parts of it while others were boring. I really liked the premise but unfortunately written poorly. If it wasn't a quick book id have DNFed it. Ill have to look for better books with a similar theme.
This book completely surprised me in the best way. Set in a post-apocalyptic Glasgow, the world feels gritty and atmospheric without being overwhelming. It doesn’t drown you in heavy world-building, but it gives you just enough to feel the tension and stakes — and honestly, it works perfectly for the length. The characters are what truly make this story shine. Both the FMC and MMC are witty, bold, and so well matched. Their banter is sharp, effortless, and genuinely funny. The dual inner monologues add so much personality — I found myself laughing more than once at their thoughts. Their chemistry? Undeniable. And the spice? Perfectly balanced. It enhances the story rather than taking over, and every scene feels intentional and well written. This isn’t a book you pick up for intricate plot twists or deeply complex arcs. It’s a short, punchy, entertaining read that delivers exactly what it promises: humour, tension, chemistry, and just the right amount of heat. For what it is, it’s a solid 5/5. Cute, quick, funny, spicy — and I really hope this isn’t the last we see of this world.
Not really sure how I finished this book, post apocalyptic but the entire book happens in like 2 days I know the world is ending and all but calm down. I don’t think I’d recommend I’m not interested enough to read the next book also plot who? Where? What?
TOOK ME LESS THAN 24 hrs to read- brilliant plot, loves faunas attitude and she was a badass fmc- loved that she ALWAYS fights for herself and the people she loves
I had so much fun reading this and the plot line seemed really fresh to me.There were a lot of things i initially wasnt sure about but ended up really liking.
There were just a few flaws in the writing but im hopeful that will be fleshed out as the series continues
i feel like this has so much potential, but fell somewhat flat. idk i’m so confused about the timeline, like the whole book is over a span of 3 days. but it did its job. idk. slay?
Did I have some moments where I was like “you guys literally just met yesterday”? Yeah Did I cringe in some moments? Yep Did I, however, read this in one sitting? Hell yeah
Honestly, I love me a good post apocalyptic story. It is very much smut centered and the writing was alright, but I did appreciate how the FMC was sassy and badass.
I saw someone on tiktok raving about this book, and the description on the back sounded super interesting to me, so when I had the chance to read it, I took it.
The spelling/grammar/etc. in this book was the first thing that made me hesitant to keep reading. There’s so many errors. It needs an editor so badly. There’s sentences where the same phrase is said multiple times (once at the beginning and once at the end of the sentence), letters attached to the wrong word, tons of missing punctuation, and missing/wrong words scattered throughout the majority of the sentences.
I was willing to overlook this because the story seemed interesting enough, but then I started to find myself rereading sentences. There are descriptions and lots of details missing that are really needed to fully picture and follow the story. For example, a balcony (we think) is breaking, and then one of the characters slams to the ground, but then another character who was also on the balcony is looking over her to make sure she’s okay seconds after the fall, which wouldn’t be possible. This is because the character didn’t fall off the balcony, but rather the other character instead moved her and slammed her into the ground near the balcony. But you don’t even remotely know this until after and then you’re like wait what? This happened so many times for me.
These two things really are what solidified this as a DNF for me. The writing just wasn’t solid enough for me to really engage and enjoy the story, so I just stopped reading it.
Hunt Me by Florence Leigh is a gritty, pulse-pounding dystopian romance that pulls you straight into a world where survival is everything—and danger is intoxicating. Set years after a devastating virus, the story follows a heroine shaped by loss and fear, now thrown into a deadly game of cat and mouse with one of Glasgow’s most violent groups, the Skull.
What makes this book stand out is the electric tension running through every chapter. The author captures that sharp mix of terror and adrenaline so vividly that you can feel it in your chest. Watching the main character confront all the challenges —and feel more alive than she has in ages—adds an emotional depth that elevates the entire story.
The world-building is atmospheric, the stakes are high, and the sense of danger never lets up. While some scenes could benefit from a bit more detail or backstory, the raw intensity and fast pacing keep you fully invested.
A gripping, darkly enticing read perfect for fans who love dystopian survival stories with a fierce heroine and a haunting sense of desire woven into the danger.
I went into Hunt Me by Florence Leigh not entirely sure what to expect. While dark romance as a genre isn’t typically my preference—particularly its focus on sexual dynamics and blurred consent—I do appreciate stories that explore complex character psychology and morally difficult situations. In that regard, the novel does offer some compelling elements. The dialogue is often sharp and, at times, genuinely amusing, which helped sustain my engagement. I also appreciated that the narrative occasionally acknowledges and even calls out its own more questionable plot developments—such as the protagonist’s rapid trust in a stranger during an apocalyptic setting—even if those moments aren’t always fully justified within the story itself. That said, the writing style ultimately wasn’t to my taste, and this limited my overall enjoyment. Still, the book succeeds in presenting an intriguing premise and character dynamics that may appeal more strongly to readers who are comfortable with the conventions of dark romance.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The idea was definitely there and I enjoyed the plot. However it definitely needs to run through another round of editing, there was a lot of grammar errors and it took me out of the read a bit. As well the characters spoke like this: ‘Hi’ Instead of traditional: “Hi” And it was very hard to adjust to. I’m not sure why the author made this choice or if I’m uniformed etc but it was strange and also took me out of the experience Nonetheless the idea was truly fun and the characters had good chemistry and I can see future books being set up to be fun but I’m not sure I will be reading
Seen this on tiktok and loved the character art they had with so decided to read
Honestly I quite enjoyed the story, world building and characters
I do wish it was a little longer with more time to build the characters relationship more as I felt quite quick ( like super fast burn) like a few days of them falling in love, I wpuld of loved more moments of just them building that, the spice was great
I love a good apocalypse romance and this one delivers. I spent the first probably 40% of the book with major anxiety waiting for them to commit a major bedroom hygiene foul, but honestly that added to the fun of the story.
The book could use a good review by an editor. While I didn’t notice any major errors, there were parts of it that felt a bit redundant.
I absolutely loved Fauna as a character in this book! I especially adored how she wasn't made into a damsel in distress. Fauna and Ruaridh are perfect for each other, every page I turned was an attention-grabber because of them and the absolutely bat-shit crazy crap that came out of their mouths. 7/10 recommend
got me out of a reading funk. The FMC was a breath of fresh air such a toughnut brat. The MC really fell first and fast. The romance was pure Dystopian no time time to wait - but there was no insta cringe.
Cheers to the author - I really want this series to continue & I hope there is an audio book.
I was looking for something different after my last read, and this book delivered. The characters drew me in, and the story kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed it. My only small disappointment is that we didn’t get to see them at the stadium, because that would’ve been fun to see. Still, a fun read though.
O género do livro fez-me muito lembrar light out é uma escrita simples e divertida e a história em si é bastante interessante. Contudo, acho que podíamos ter descoberto mais sobre a pandemia e também achei que a história se passou muito rápido em 4 dias eles já estavam a fazer promessas de amor e a viver felizes para sempre
It was good. A bit insta-love vibe (which is not really my vibe...) but who am I to judge I've never lived through an apocalypse?! I liked that it was short and tension filled though. He was trying a bit tooooo hard to be an "alpha" vibe which was lowkey icky, but once again that is so my preference.
Did I still read this in one sitting? For sure :) Will I read the second book? Probably.
the book was a lot of fun. On hand It was an easy read (with many grammatical error) but it could have been a little bit slower and long to really make the connection between the main characters build up. I would really like the following book to go into more detail about world building. I really enjoyed the characters even though you mostly only get to know them on a surface level
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was fast paced and kept me intrigued the entire time. I read the entire thing in a day and I'm glad I did. I'm eager for the rest of the series as I want more! Great book :)
I super enjoyed this quick read! A sultry dystopian blend of Royals of Forsyth and The Four Horsemen. I stumbled across the ad for this on TikTok and I’m so glad I did, added it to my kindle library immediately. I can’t wait to read the rest of them!
A few editing errors, but this book was so good. The level of crazy was so perfect. The spice was good . The humor was great. I could not get enough of this book. I need more of. Ru and Fauna 😭
