The Deerhunter
The hunter Liam Michaels lies wounded, bleeding in the forests of the Canaan mountains. For him, the world is a bloody sky of red beneath which he can’t move.
The surprised shooter Ian Lambert stands above him, persecuted by his past. For him, there’s only thoughts of how long he must now track the crippled buck.
Sarah Michaels, disillusioned with her marriage, has decided to cross the line. For her, taking off the ring means giving up the fairy tale.
Watching over all, the Lord of the Forest and keeper of the paths is witness and protector.
With brutal force, the truth of Liam’s nature is thrust on him in the form of a buck’s head, bleeding, dripping, and hollow. He is to see what it feels like to now be the prey. What he does with a second chance will redefine love and life.
With the guile of wolves, the war has come to claim him but Lambert takes what he wants and he wants Sarah. But wanting her will only bring death.
As the long winter bends and folds into the spring of day, Sarah makes a discovery that questions second chances. Fearing hope has fled through the gap in the fence and into the Forest beyond, she is unaware of what follows her in.

What can I say about this book? First, this isn’t my type of fantasy books at all, but I decided to give it a try because, sincerely, it sounded interesting by the synopsis. I was positively surprised by its plot and the reading was fast. That’s a good sign to me, cause when I don’t like a book I can take months till reach the end.
Let’s point out the positive things and the negative ones too.
I liked the main characters and their personalities. I liked how Liam was portrayed and thought that his conflicts were well put in the storyline. The fantasy around him flew easy, and I think the character was well chosen and made to be what he is in this book. The basis of every character is a pillar to this story, that is, somehow, a fairytale.
The narrative was a hate/love dillema for me. Why? Well, sometimes I thought it was too nonchalant. The story was there, but wasn’t, like when you’re trying to see in the mysts. It was great ’cause gave the book an incredible feeling of magic, made the central plot shine. But, at the same time, it bothered me a little. Sometimes you want to feel everything with the book, but the narrative got in the way. Often I found myself wanting more, a larger scoop of the scene, but got stuck with the narrative. It made the reading a little difficult, partly I read fast because I wanted to know, but in the end I still had the “want to know” feeling because of the way the story was told.
I found some errors that could be corrected with revision, but nothing too big. Overall was a good read, and I would recommend it.

This was a great book--rich language and it kept me intrigued though out the whole book. If you like to think, love imagery and a unique read I would highly suggest this book.
