All Hunters have at least one Hound. They work together as a team to hunt monsters. Hunter Joyeaux Charmand is on a train to headquarters. It is attacked and she must use her skills to fight. Although she is only 16 years old, she has been hunting for years and has the most Hounds. She meets Psimon Josh who becomes her escort and later her friend. Her uncle is the Prefecture and has enemies. He warns her to be careful and to stay alert. She does not believe things are as dire until the Hunters begin dying. Hunter Ace blames her for his brother’s death and things go from bad to worse.
The book has a fast pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and look forward to reading the next two books in the series. If you like young adult fantasy books, you may enjoy reading this series.
