Review Hunting Kat by PJ Schnyder
As a mercenary, Kat Darah doesn’t have to pass for a normal human. On the edge of the solar system, she’s just another biped. Most of the time.
Nearing the end of his military tour, Lt. Christopher Rygard debates the idea of hanging up his uniform for good. Looking for answers at the bottom of a glass of scotch, he meets Kat. One shared night of mutual desire seems harmless. But when their tryst is interrupted by attackers hunting Rygard, Kat must reveal her other form, the predator beneath the human façade.
Together they embark on a dangerous mission—a race against time to meet the enemy’s demands, while trying to deny the passion between them. Rygard is faced with a terrible choice in the face of duty: Report the existence of a human turned shape-shifter. Or forget he ever met her.
Its rare that I like a book that is this short, its rare that the characters are as developed as you’d like them to be, the story and the backstory is never as detailed as you’d like, there is only so much you can put into 20K words. but somehow, in Hunting Kat, PJ Schnyder has been able to make the impossible real, Kat was amazingly detailed, even though you only get a glimpse of her history, its enough for you to fall for this heroine. Rygard is heroic enough, hot enough, and disillusioned with his current state enough to make a convincing disgruntle soldier who was more than willing to take a chance on a hot merc, who just wanted a good time.
The BEST Thing about this book, the ending. Its AWESOME, its just perfect. it is freaking perfect. I wish I could say why and how but its so realistic and so on point I just WOW. I never expected to like such a short novel so much, but golly.
Overall rating: A-
