This book had small going for it beyond the leader and the series. If this book had been the first book in the series, there would be no series. It bears no resemblence to the Mercy series I have loved. I was fine with there being a sub series. But the sub series is not as excellent as the Mercy books. This book was worse than the previous book. I factually could not figure out what the book was about or why it was written. Like the additional books, ther Merrick guy sends out his minions on missions. So Charles is sent on a mission with his mate Anna. And there is lots of internal yammering about being submissive and brother wolf not being pleased. But really, that is about all the book was about. I was left wondering if the leader really wrote the book. The series becomes to some extent successful, so it’s already being farmed out to a ghost writer? Is that possible??

First, I have to say my perception of the book is really colored by my perfect distaste for authors who attempt to work out their emotional traumas via their characters. Call it a leftover aversion from my days of being a Laurel K Hamilton fan and watching her take a kick butt heroine and turn her into a whiny endless victim of her crotch, I REALLY can’t stand it when an leader has only one theme and just cannot write a female character lacking that theme being the leading driving force in all of their series. Which leads me to the fact that Briggs now has BOTH of her female protagonists being traumatized rape victims trying to ease into a relationship with a super helpful, super understanding, super uncomplaining, does absolutely everything perfect and right alpha male who never makes a misstep when it comes to dealing with his traumatized mate. Gag. I am not adage that Briggs is living out her own personal wish fulfillment and therapy through her characters, but god I am sick of the deja vu feeling in reading the last Mercy novel and now this one. Which is a major problem of this novel. It read more like relationship therapy than a supernatural mystery. It was just…missing. The plot was missing, the mystery was missing, the characters were missing, the writing was substandard and in DIRE need of a better editor and in all-purpose, it was just…. meh. Not terrible, not fantastic…just… meh.

I really loved the tale in On the Stalk and I really loved the previous book Weep Wolf but Ms. Briggs should have stopped there. There really wasn’t much substance to this book; this certainly should not have been made into a series. It was pretty thin on plot and just couldn’t hold my interest. I like Charles and Anna’s relationship. I admire the might it took Anna to work through the horrors in her past but that’s not enough to keep me riveted and fascinated. I won’t be reading the rest of the series but I will continue to read the Mercy Thompson series.

I have to agree with many of the previous three star reviews: thin plot, weak main character (Anna), repeat of recovering rape victim/strong alpha male tale line, not enough character development, and sudden ending. Of all persons points, the sudden ending was the most disappointing for me. It took more pages to tell the character’s journey to the scene of the “grand finale” than for the grand finale to take place! All this erect up and then, “Oh! It’s over!” Then there is no denouement at all. I wanted to see Charles and Anna together again, effective out this tenuous pairing of theirs and getting some things resolved, but that was barely touched on at the end.
In all, I loved the read and will read more Patricia Briggs in the future, but Hunting Ground was a much weaker effort than the first three Mercy Thompson books, or Weep Wolf. I like the world she has made, and her way of envisioning werewolf life and pack politics. She’s place a lot of effort into her world building, and I hope Ms. Briggs future installments are a small tighter.

This book was incredible I could not place it down. Patricia has made me completly fall in like with the characters. I cannot wait for the next book.
