See my review for the whole series under Dominion ( because I read the Omnibus = 800+ pages!!) ☺
Overall, I enjoyed Huntress, book one in the LIFE AFTER series by Julie Hall. I went into it determined to take it lightly. And I did ... really liking it as a unique speculative fiction read. It was intriguing, fun, mysterious, adventurous, and thought-provoking. The interesting things the author came up with were really fantastical, and kept you wanting to read more.I liked the characters, for the most part, and felt each had their own voice and personality. The action-packed ending was fabulo...
Rating: 3/5Thank you to the author Julie Hall for sending me an audio book copy of this book for an honest review, as well as partnering with her on a book tour for this series!This is the first in Julie's Life After series which follows the life...err....afterlife of Audrey who has found herself dead, with no memory, and forced to hunt demons for all eternity...Since she is more bargain hunter than demon hunter, she feels God has made a huge cosmic error. And Logan, her trainer, isn't too thril...
I loved so much about this book. It was a super quick read and hard to put down. It's in the Christian Fantasy Fiction genre, but when reading it I would not look at is a solid theological or doctrinal book. It is purely fiction with a beautiful story that highlights what I value in my faith, which is hope, love, redemption, and salvation by grace through faith and not works. All of these themes are explored in the story, but not in a preachy way. It is a lovely, entertaining escape. The emotion...
I really wanted to love this book and it was okay. However, I'm borderline atheist and all the stuff about God and believing in him and etc was a bit much for me.
Genuinely confused on how this has so many good ratings.
Reread December 2018: Such an amazing story! Still just as powerful and thought-provoking as the first time reading it.So I thought I knew what I was getting into when reading HUNTRESS, but I was quite wrong in my expectations. The author literally created a world like I have never read. I'm not quite sure how to put it into words because it was so utterly creative. I immensely enjoyed learning about the place Audrey lived in with the same awe and wonder as her.Logan was something else. I was ab...
*Side note before the review*So I'm doing this review a little differently, I'm trying to figure out how I want to do my reviews. So sorry it's a little short, but hopefully I will figure out how I want to do my reviews from now on, and get better at them! :) *hugs**you may read the review now, haha*The Writing:Was wonderful! The story flowed very nicely, and it was very fast paced.The 'World':I loved it, I love how Julie describes everything. I can't wait to see more of it :-DThe Characters:Aud...
I've read a lot of Christian Fiction but I've never read anything like Huntress. I would say the closest author I've read would be somewhere along the lines of Frank Peretti or Ted Dekker but still completely different. I found myself engulfed in the world Julie Hall created and I was not disappointed. I loved every minute of it. I found myself relating so much to Audrey with her doubts and questions and the fear of not knowing what's going on or if you are doing what you are supposed to be doin...
DNF @ 80% - I came for the angels and demons but ended up with Christian fiction... probably should have paid closer attention to the reviews 🤦♀️If you like clean romance and Christian fiction then this might be up your alley. If, like me you’re looking for fantasy with lush world building, fully realised characters feat angels try Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Or just something else.
Such a great start to the series! The heaven the author has created is amazing, creative, and could in some ways even be plausible since what do we know about what heaven looks like? I loved all the creative elements and how she wove Christian themes and truths in a way that’s very relatable and real.Speaking of relatable, I LOVED Audrey and how she and I share a lot of insecurities, fears, and personality traits that just made her a ball to follow—I snickered more then once at things she said o...
HUNTRESS By Julie HallI have never read one of Ms Hall’s book’s before, and in all honesty don’t usually read Christian related book’s for the simple reason I often feel as though I am being preached to. This certainly had the Christian undercurrent but in an unusual way, so much so, that I found the book to be very refreshing with the unusual view’s Ms Hall bring’s to us regarding the after world. The main character ‘Audrey’ find’s herself suddenly in the situation no one wants to, has to deal
Love this idea of afterlife!
Woah....that was most DEFINITELY not what I expected it to be. In a totally good way.
Only a quarter of the way through this book, and I already have to put it down. To begin with, it meanders and can't really seem to find a plot. But my biggest problem is that this is supposed to be Christian YA or YA with Christian themes, and it absolutely loses me the second Audrey gets to "town" in heaven. Ugh. The girl is supposed to be in heaven, where there are no tears, pain, pride, deceit or anger. Instead, she's in a place that is just like middle school, where she gets teased, beat up...
DNF-ing at 50%. The first and the BIGGEST turn off is the word building. This anthropomorphic depiction of the afterlife where they dress up, wear 4 inch heels, go to salons to do their nails and hair is just so primitive and ridiculous I can't even describe how much it annoyed me. I guess some people who believe in afterlife, expect to have an ordinary life there like nothing has changed. The second huge turn off is the heroine. I expected to read about a kick-ass heroine. What I got was a whin...
Author: Julie HallPublisher: Self-PublishedPublishing Date: May 16, 2017ISBN: 9781543119596I received this book from Julie in exchange for an honest and objective review. “Death was only the beginning.”Summary:Audrey has died and is now faced with what her Life After will be like. She’s less-than-happy about waking up in a new world with no memories of her past life but when she’s assigned to demon-hunting duty for all eternity she’s sure that there has been a cosmic mistake.Seeing how she’s nev...
