The Hunted

Reviewed by Symon: 8 out of 10.

A town’s deadly secret will drive one man to the edge of his faith. After learning of the disappearance of his nephew, Joe Saunders returns to his childhood home of Dark Hills. With rumors spreading of a rogue lion roaming the woods, he embarks on a mission to learn the truth. As he peels away the layers of Dark Hills, he discovers a secret that has been shrouded for three generations in a deadly code of silence. Will his young faith be strong enough to battle the demonic forces behind it? (Blurb from the back cover)

One word to describe Mike Dellosso’s debut novel… Excellent. If I likened ‘Hunted’ to another novel, it would have to be Frank Peretti’s ‘The Oath’. ‘Hunted’ screams ‘Peretti influence’ in every chapter. It’s not a bad thing at all. Many Christians love Peretti’s style, but draw the line at Dekker. While I actually prefer Dekker, Mike Dellosso is a very pleasant surprise, and an author which I will eagerly look forward to reading more of (his next book ‘Scream’ is coming out March, 2009). As one reviewer said…

Mike Dellosso could very well be the next Frank Peretti – if you liked The Oath and Monster, you are going to love The Hunted. (C.J. Darlington, Cofounder and book editor, Titletrakk.com)

If you love Christian suspense/thrillers with supernatural elements, get ‘The Hunted’ for your personal library as soon as you can!
