**Contains spoilers**

Hummm...I have mixed feelings about this one. I wanted to really like it, because it's a different take on what happens after "Happily Ever After" and that got me excited. However, this is a light novella, so it's far too short, and feels like it needed to be a full novel to fully understand the story. I think it would have been a much more enjoyable story if it started at the beginning where Belle and Jason broke up, the stuff with her dad, and how she met Vincent. I'm not sure if there is a prequel story to this that explains it, but that was definitely missed in the story.

The Story takes place -AFTER- Belle and her Beast are together. So, if you are wanting to read this based on the Beauty and the Beast retelling, that's not the main focus here. I liked the start of the story, and wished it showed a bit more on Belle x Vincent, but I know that's not what the author was going for. I really felt that the story needed more of a backstory, and a lot more interaction between Belle / Vincent for me to even understand what was happening with him. That part of the story left a void for me, and I have a lot of unanswered questions because of it.


1. Was Vincent pretending to be a wussy wolf just to get Belle? His character seemed liked it needed more explaining.
2. Did Belle just use Vincent as a rebound from Jason, cause it seemed like she didn't really like him at all.
3. If Vincent was always leaving for Pack business, why didn't Belle go...."Hey we are living together now, feel like explaining some sup stuff?"
4. If Belle knew he was a Master Pack Leaders son, she should have realized that meant Pack responsibilities to handle.
5. The argument between Belle / Vincent that lead to her leaving. WTH!?! Actually happened? If Vincent was a wussy wolf the majority of the time, it does not explain the sudden rage machine that he turned into. Even being a wolf would not make him change character that much, because it did not affect Jason at all.


Belle and Jason. I enjoyed their interaction, and thought it was cute how she didn't want to be near him, but he kept sneaking after her. His teasing her with naughty text messages sounded hot. =]

The only other thing that I did not understand was why Belle thought the only way to get away from Vincent was to kill him. That didn't make Jason out to be a heroic Hunter in my eyes, it was premeditated murder. It seemed like she wasn't getting any from Vincent, so that made her super horny, and raged against him. xD This is why I would have loved this to be a full novel. If it was shown in the story how Vincent was actually a super raged wolf that was actually abusing her, it would have made more sense.

The ending. I thought it was kinda cute how Jason and Belle ended up together. However, wouldn't that entire experience made her DEFINITELY NOT want kids? She didn't want them before, and the thing with Vincent I think would have made that a definite no go in my eyes. Also, why didn't it bother her about Jason having to do Pack stuff, but she got enraged with Vincent when all he was trying to do was be with her??

Overall, I did enjoy the book, and the unanswered questions I have will hopefully, be told in a prequel, sequel, short story of some kind in the future. This is also a nice starter if you are looking to try out Paranormal Romance with more adult themes. (ahem, you know... those hot, steamy moments. ;) )

I think Hunter, is a good gateway into the Fairy Tale Bad Boys series, and even though I had some questions/reservations, the ending did make me really curious. The Pirate/Neverland theme for the next one sounds like it will be rather unique and definitely got my attention.
