The Dark Huntsman by Jessica Aspen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I expected better honestly. My first glimpse of this book was an excerpt where Logan was going to kill Trina and she was naked with only a knife trying to save herself and her family. When I read that little tidbit I honestly thought I was going to read about a bad-ass witch with guts to stand up for herself no matter what.
I can say my hope of that was dashed about 10% into the book. I kept waiting for her to grow a pair but she never really did. She acquiesced to what Logan wanted when she shouldn't, get pissed at herself and him and then completely go against his wishes at the worst possible moment. She was also pretty weak in the magic department or, at least, her knowledge of what to with her powers was pretty small. The only time she actually surprised me in a good way was when she accessed magic to save them from the baby giant. Apart from that...she was unimpressive. Her actions were impulsive and always self-destroying.
Logan was a little better. He was more determined and strong. He did tend to think about sex in the most inopportune of times though. You'd be in the middle of his description of a landscape and suddenly he was reminding himself of how such landscape looked like Trina's curves or whatever.
And the supporting characters, you ask? Not many. Few and apart. They were rarely talked about and never with much depth. There's also not much of an ending. The Queen is still alive. Haddon is still plotting. The Prince is still missing and Trina's family is still being hunted. But hey Trina and Logan are all lovey dovey now so I guess that's what matters most.
