Two on the Hunt is a
sequel to One Juror Down. I would recommend reading One Juror Down
first if you intend to read both book. If you don’t plan to go back
and pick up the first book this one can be read stand
alone.
Georgia Bellair has finally regained custody of her four year old
daughter, Abby, and is staying on her brother’s boat trying to have
some quality time with her daughter. But life just continues to be
unfair to Georgia and some sort of strange Chinese vampire cult
begins to target Abby. Yun MacCready is a bounty hunter who happens
to be staying on the boat in the next slip when he notices first
Georgia and her daughter and then the fact that strange things are
happening around them. Why would someone want to target this young
mother and child? Why does Yun feel so drawn to try to help and
protect this woman and child? Could this have something to do with
the former gang leader Oscar Nesell that vowed to take revenge on
Georgia’s sister, Cass?
I liked Georgia’s story and I loved the character of Yun. Yun
comes from an unusual background himself and has a complicated
relationship with his single mother that raised him. He is able to
relate to the hardships Georgia is going through trying to take care
of her daughter alone. He also recognizes, in both Georgia and
himself, the tendency to avoid forming close relationships with
others that would open them up to potential heartaches in the
future. There is chemistry between Georgia and Yun but the timing
isn’t good and their individual baggage may make it impossible for
them to have a real relationship. The story is also full of
suspense, keeping the reader poised and fearful that something
terrible might happen to the little girl Abby. Ms. Hiestand does a
great job twisting the reader around while they try to figure out
what is going to happen next to the characters in the story.
The story does tie up a few more lose ends from the first book
One Juror Down but it also leaves room for more bad guys to hassle
the Bellair family in another book. I would like to read John
Bellair’s story next!
