Hunted by Meagan Spooner
4.0

Fairy tale retellings have been no strangers to this blog. I’ve covered a couple and with each one I find myself tiring of the genre. For whatever reason, retellings seems to be the current “thing” for YA, following in the footsteps of the vampire and dystopia phases. It seems like every month there are five new retellings out and it becomes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thankfully, today’s book is definitely on the wheatier side. With a decent balance of retelling and original content, a badass Beauty, and a relatable, complex message, Hunted stands out among the more beastly competition.
