About the Author
AD Starrling’s supernatural thriller series, Seventeen, delivers a thrilling combination of fantasy, action, and suspense in every book. Her spin-off urban fantasy series, Legion, has been likened to Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files.
If you’re looking for a romantic military thriller featuring hot action and strong-willed heroes, then her Division Eight series is a must-read. When she’s not writing, you can find AD enjoying Thai cuisine, enduring back therapy, checking out the latest gadgets, working as a part-time doctor in a Neonatal Intensive Care unit in the UK, reading manga, and watching action flicks and anime.
Some have even accused her of dabbling in art with a charcoal stick and paper.

Editoral Review
Hunted by A.D. Starrling is a gripping thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Published on February 5, 2012, the book is a thrilling ride that combines elements of suspense, action, and mystery.
Starrling is a talented author, known for her captivating storytelling and vivid imagination.
The book follows the story of a young woman, Joanna, who is on the run from a dangerous organization that is after her unique abilities. She possesses the power to manipulate time, and as a result, she has become a target for those who seek to harness her power for their own gain.
As she tries to evade her pursuers, Joanna discovers a dark conspiracy that threatens the world as she knows it. With the help of a small group of allies, she must fight to uncover the truth and stop the shadowy organization before it’s too late.
The novel’s strengths lie in its well-developed characters, intricate plot, and fast-paced action. The main character, Joanna, is a complex and compelling protagonist who is easy to root for.
Her journey is filled with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the very end. The supporting cast is equally well-crafted, with each character serving a unique purpose in the story.
Starrling’s writing style is also a standout feature of the book. She has a gift for creating vivid descriptions that bring the story to life.
Her action scenes are particularly well-written, with a cinematic quality that makes them easy to visualize.
One potential weakness of the book is its reliance on genre tropes. While the story is well-executed, it does follow a familiar formula that may feel predictable to some readers.
Additionally, some of the supporting characters could benefit from more development, as they sometimes feel like they are there to serve the plot rather than having their own motivations and desires.
Despite these minor flaws, Hunted is a thrilling read that is sure to entertain fans of the thriller genre. Its themes of power, corruption, and the dangers of technology make it especially relevant in today’s world.
Overall, Hunted is a well-crafted and enjoyable book that is definitely worth a read. I give it a score of 4 out of 5 stars.
