Our view
“Hunted” is the fifth “House of Night” novel, written for readers already invested in its vampire school and in the heroine at its centre. The series’ blend of adventure and feeling carries on here. Some readers feel the protagonist repeats her mistakes and lose patience with her, and some weary of what they see as an ever longer line of devoted boys. Newcomers should begin with the first book.
