Althea
What was supposed to be a Fall Break road trip with my roommates turned into a nightmare.
He drugged me, stole me from my friends, and set me loose atop his mountain to hunt me down with a pack of dogs. I was the only one to ever survive the hunt when I became his obsession.
Will I ever be able to escape or am I doomed to be his forever prey?
Jericho
We're all animals. Some of us just embrace it more than others.
She keeps me on my toes, wrapping herself around my claw and soothing the monster within. Her tenacity calls to my beast. He wants to keep her and so do I.
This game of predator and prey has never been more thrilling and I find myself wanting to cage a little fox.

So many red flags... but I'm colourblind 😘
Jericho is one of the most red-flag love interests I've ever read... but if not Daddy, why Daddy shaped???
This is not a romance in the traditional sense. This is Stockholm Syndrome. This is trauma bonding. This is accidentally taming the beast. What starts with conditioning and psychological torture ends with reciprocity and something CLOSE to traditional love, and it's a blood-soaked, tear-stained, yet deliciously fun ride to get there.
The 3 ⭐️ rating comes not because I didn't enjoy myself, but because I feel like the writing itself was just shy of being worth higher. The first-person narration was a little stilted and stiff in many instances, feeling less personal and more factual, and there wasn't a distinct tonal difference between the two POVs. There were a handful of tense shifts and grammatical errors.
However, the pacing was excellently managed, especially for a novella!
For a debut release, Opal Blackstone has set the stage for what promises to be a delectable career and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!

I find that I typically struggle to find a romance novel that I enjoy due to the writing and thankfully, Human Hunter is filled with writing that I found myself enjoying as I turned each and every page. To me, the switches in points of view did not take away from the narrative and actually gave a nice peek into the minds of both of our main characters that I was thoroughly pleased with. This tale was delightfully dark and I look forward to more works from this author!

This reminded me of an old school dark romance (I guess it would be pitch black by today's standards). Definitely check the CWs if that's something concerning for you. There is a lot of wild stuff crammed into this little book.
The pacing was really good for a novella, and my only complaint is that we never really learn anything about the MMC or his history.
