An engaging intense action thriller!
Manhunt was an intriguing and well-written story. There were many twists and turns that formed a unique plot. There was a lot of action and suspense with just enough romance to keep my interest perked. Andrew Hess really knows how to build up the suspense and keep your attention to the very end. The characters were well developed and engaging. This story captivated me and kept my attention. The book has lots of twists and suspense with an ending that you will never expect. Once you finish the book you will want to strangle Andrew Hess for the ending (as normal) however, you will love the book and will anticipate the next book even more.
I have read almost all of Andrew’s books as he is one of my favorite authors. He had a unique writing style. I nicknamed him the Master of Cliffhangers as he keeps to his standard tradition with his surprise and unexpected endings. I love how he can manipulate the book and throw twists in that you will never see coming. I have enjoyed each book I have read by Andrew and will continue to read his books as they come out. You never know what to expect from him and this story holds true to that!
I recommend Manhunt to anyone that enjoys reading a suspenseful thriller that will keep you entertained all the way to the end while keeping you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Fast paced action
I had not read anything by Andrew Hess until book 1 of this series, which I loved
So I started book 2 and was not disappointed. I will definitely be reading more! If you like a good mystery, with a side of sexiness, give him a try.

Ok so this is the 2 of the Thornton series. *sigh* I could read about Detective James Thornton all day, every day.
So yeah, this is where James continues to try and solve the murder mystery case. It doesn’t seem to matter to him that he’s been pulled from the case. He’s bound and determined to do things his way because we all know Thornton is the BEST at what he does.
Having read the Ali Ryan series and Thornton showing up and then reading his back story, it only endeared me to him even more. He is the epitome of player but I see a side in him that screams he’s ready to settle down.
Another great suspense-filled book by Mr. Hess. Never disappoints in grabbing and keeping my interest.
