Goodreads Summary:

The moment I step into Faerie, I become his.

Everyone knows about the Fae of the forest—gorgeous, sinful, deadly. When I trespass into their magical world, I need more than my sharp tongue to survive. Especially against the ruler of the woodland.

Puck is a smooth-talking rogue with a cruel smirk that sets me aflame in more ways than one. And because the Fae bastard likes to play with his captives, he gives me two choices: either hunt or be hunted.

Now I'm trapped in a dangerous game of hide and seek, lost in this dark, seductive realm where Faeries wield blades and whisper lustful temptations from the shadows.

He’s the predator. I’m the prey.

But I’m not submitting without a fight. I refuse to be Puck’s toy. If my rakish enemy wants to hunt me, I’ll hunt him back and beat him at his own treacherous game.

Yet I can’t resist the wicked desire in his eyes, nor his heated touch and devious kiss. And if I’m not careful, he’ll crush my very soul.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Holly Black, Laura Thalassa, CN Crawford, Emma Hamm, and Miranda Honfleur.

Warning: This is NA/New Adult fantasy romance with explicit sexual content and language. For mature readers 18+.

Step into the Dark Fables World, where defiant mortals and deceitful faeries clash. Hunt the Fae is the second book in Natalia Jaster’s hot fantasy romance series, Vicious Faeries. If you like forbidden love, enemies to lovers, angst with heart, and a slow burn that ignites between a bookish huntress and devilish dark lord, prepare to swoon like a human.

Review

Hunt the Fae is a fabulous follow-up to Kiss the Fae. I actually enjoyed this second book more than the first. For better or for worse, I was more absorbed by Juniper and Puck's story.

What I Liked:
- the Solitary Forest and its fauna inhabitants

- the parallel timeline to Kiss the Fae

- how bookish Juniper was

- that Puck is a real smooth talker

- Juniper and Puck were a match made in the forest ;)

   - lots of bantering

   - sizzling chemistry

   - steamy sex scenes

   - emotional ties

- surprise appearances!

- the small but exciting glimpse of Elixir

The Not So Much:
- the similarities the romance arc had to Kiss the Fae

- the climax came and went a little too fast
