The Hunter

The Hunter is the second book in the Monsters and Beauties collection of novellas by Jenika Snow.

Synopsis

What if the big bad wolf kidnapped Little Red Riding Hood solely for his pleasure?

After my grandmother passed away, it left me with this feeling of emptiness. I had a dead-end job, no friends or family, and I was trying to navigate this new world while being utterly alone.

The perfect solution? Take a once in a lifetime trip to Alaska and reconnect with the wilderness and all the things that make me happy.

Being isolated in a cabin with no electricity, running water, or cell service sounded perfect until I roughed it in the wild and realized this might not have been the best idea.

Things were going great until they weren’t, and I realized I wasn’t alone. It was the hunter, and I was its prey.

And when I finally came face-to face with my stalker, it wasn’t anything I could have pictured in my wildest dreams.

He was a monster, a literal furry, huge werewolf looking beast that said he chose me as his mate, and I was now his.

It took me to his lair where he touched me, licked me… gave me pleasure. And despite knowing I had to fight him and this new reality, I wanted more.

Wolf might be terrifying to look at, bigger and stronger than anything I could ever imagine, but his sole purpose was to please me.

The real question was, did I ever want to go back to civilization and the life I once knew?

Review

"What if the big bad wolf kidnapped little red riding hood solely for his pleasure?"

The Hunter is a reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood.

Marcella's grandmother has just passed away so she decides to go stay in a remote cabin that was left to her. She instantly catches the fascination of Wolf who is a massive, dominating, wolflike beast.

"What are you?" I whispered, horrified. "I'm yours," he said with finality.

Wolf claims Marcella as his mate without her knowledge and this leads to all kinds of primal fun. Best described by Jenika's content warnings: chase, hunter and prey, marking, praise, biting, breeding, kidnapping, captive, dubcon, size difference, blood play...and more. 🔥

I also loved the body positivity with the FMC. And wolf worshipping her? *chefs kiss*

"What big eyes you have," I whispered before I could stop myself. "Mmm, the better to look my fill of your lush body with, my Little Bird."

If you like your monster smut, this book is perfect for you because... WOW🔥🔥🔥

Notable Highlights

"What are you?" I whispered, horrified. "I'm yours," he said with finality.

They would call me a monster, but the things I've heard these men say, they way they spoke of their females...and they are the ones that are the beasts.

"I need you thick and perfect so I can hold on to something as I fuck you."

"I saw you. I wanted you. So I took you..."

I would just have to show her how good it was with me, how well I would treat her. She would be my queen, my alpha. I would worship the ground she walked on and would make sure she had everything she could ever want.

"Are you going to be a good girl and admit you're mine?"

"No. You stay right there. This is how we sleep. With my cock buried deep inside of you and no chance that my seed spills out of your womb." "You freaky bastartd,"...

"You fill this void in me I didn't know I had." He took my hand and placed it on his chest, right over his heart. "Right here. You fill me right here."

"My perfect little mate. You're such a good girl."
