REVIEW: Chaos Hunt – Jordan Abbey – #2 – Sheryl R. Hayes

Amazon Link: amazon

Werewolves are apex predators. So why does she feel like prey?

Territory, honor, the trust of her peers - Jordan Abbey has earned none of these from the supernatural residents of Rancho Robles. The werewolves shun Jordan as a creature without honor for siding with the vampires. The vampires dismiss Jordan as an unruly pet who needs to be kept on a much shorter leash. Chased out of the wilderness and not allowed to shift within the city, she is without any place for her inner wolf to run free.

Someone is killing the servants of vampires. Soon vampires themselves fall victim. Each attack is linked directly to Jordan, fueling rumors that she is working to undermine the vampires’ grip on the city. The werewolves dog her steps, harassing her whenever and wherever they can.

Then, in the heart of vampire territory, the corpse of a werewolf who bullied Jordan is discovered. The children of the Wolf and the Bat are ready to go to war, and Jordan is caught squarely in the crossfire. Can one woman prevent the annihilation of the only place she calls home?

It has been three months since Jordan was attacked and turned into a werewolf and three months since she rejected Alpha Shane’s invitation to join the pack. Now as a famulus with Montgomery as her patron she is living between two worlds, vampire and werewolf. She has finally been able to shift but regardless she is hated by both vampires and werewolves.

The only thing keeping the vampires from attacking her is she is now considered family the werewolves on the other hand could care less. Thorn has been living with her and Montgomery now and both he and Montgomery do everything in their power to protect her.

Angela, Alpha Shane’s daughter, doesn’t hesitate to attack her every chance she gets.

When famulus are being killed the blame falls on Jordan since the deaths are made to appear as animal attacks. Then vampires themselves are found dead and once again it all points to Jordan. She is behind a rock and a hard place with no way to prove her innocence.

When werewolves are found dead now more than ever Jordan has a target on her back. Attacks and deaths keep happening but finding the one responsible is nearly impossible.

Then someone from Jordan’s past shows up and things go from bad to worse. She is living between two worlds, vampire and werewolf and neither of them are allies.

It is Montgomery that protects Jordan from facing punishment by Marcus the leader of the vampires, but Marcus is suspicious of her. Some of the dead were friends of Jordan’s both vampire and werewolf so she grieves for the dead both friend and foe.

A simple chore i.e. shopping brought an attack from Angela who claims she is a poacher unreasonably accusing Jordan of trespassing in a supermarket. She has also been forbidden from hunting on any pack property so she would be expected to travel long distances to hunt.

This book was filled with surprises, lies, betrayal, secrets and violence. Jordan is just trying to exist but that has become very hard. I am lucky enough to have book 2.5 and 3 so I can’t wait to see what happens.
