About this audiobook

Book 3 of the Scarlett Bernard series

Actions have consequences—a lesson Scarlett Bernard is learning the hard way. As a “null,” Scarlett has always been able to negate the powers of the supernatural beings that surround her. But now her reckless decision to permanently change Eli from a werewolf to a human has left the Los Angeles werewolf pack in shambles, and upset the balance of power among the city’s supernatural factions. To make matters worse, Scarlett’s employers discover that a newly changed werewolf is running amok in the city. To catch the rogue werewolf, Scarlett will need help from both Eli and Detective Jesse Cruz of the LAPD…a situation that will force her to finally choose between them.

However, Scarlett and her friends aren’t the only ones on the hunt—someone else is chasing the wolf. Someone with no reservations about collateral damage. Now Scarlett and her allies must stop both the rogue wolf and the deadly hunter before the full moon rises and all hell breaks loose.

Filled with the same suspense and wit readers loved in Dead Spots and Trail of Dead, this may be Scarlett Bernard’s most harrowing adventure yet…

    I read a lot of books in this genre, and I enjoy most of them. But there's something about the character of Scarlett Bernard that I particularly enjoy, although I haven't quite put my finger on it. I think in part it's because she has aspects that remind me of some of my favorite characters, including Jane Jameson, Rachel Morgan, Mercy Thompson, Charley Davidson, and Verity Price, to name a few.

    I also enjoy the way this series portrays the "standard" cast of paranormal beings as well as the fact that the main character is basically an anti-paranormal. In a way I suppose that premise is similar to that of Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate (which I adored), but otherwise the stories are completely different.

    I look forward to reading about Scarlett's next adventure!

    Hunter's Trail by Melissa F Olson and narrated by Amy McFadden is book three in the series. This book has lots of suspense, a crazy were, lots of creepy magic, and a big ugly dog/wolf/magic breed made for killing. I am glad I found this series! I have really enjoyed it! Weres, vampires, magic, witches, and Scarlet is a Null. That is someone rare that counteracts everyone's magic! Vampires are human around her, weres can't shift in wolves. I also have enjoyed the wonderful narrator! Great job!

    There was a lot more going on, plot-wise, in this book than the previous two. It wrapped up pretty well, though the denouement didn't satisfy quite as well as I'd have preferred. Also, I retract most of my complaints about the love triangle. I could write an entire essay on where the trope subversion succeeded and where it didn't, but I won't, so you'll just have to take my word for it: Olson subverted the love triangle trope in some places and didn't manage to in others.

    Overall, I'm glad to have read the entire trilogy. I won't be specially buying any more of the books unless they go on, like, heavy-duty sale, but I'll definitely look for them at the library.

    After reading the Scarlett Bernard trilogy, it's hard not to fall in love with Scarlett Bernard. She's funny, smart and quick on her feet. (Well, perhaps not in Hunter's Trail, when she's hobbled by an injury incurred at the conclusion of "Trail of Dead.) Even when she's limping, however, that hardly slows her down. Hunter's Trail was my favorite of the trilogy but I certainly enjoyed them all. Overall, I thought this was a great urban fantasy series that isn't afraid to let character development take center stage when it needs to. The love triangle between Scarlett, Eli and Jesse was well developed and I certainly applauded Scarlett's romantic choice at the end of Hunter's Trail.I look forward to reading Ms. Olson's next series and I hope this isn't the end of Scarlett Bernard books both about the Old World, Eli, Jesse and Scarlett.

    Good plot, storyline, & character development. Pain, love, torment, battle, death, & cover-ups abound. Friendships changing & love unrequited. Grief over changing futures.

    The pacing of this book was a little off... and the thing with the dog was kind of distracting as the characters are running out of time and stuff is becoming urgent! Once again I found myself shaking my head as I try to understand why Scarlett does the things she does. It was a good read, but not as good as the previous two books.

    In this third installment beginning just one week after Scarlett’s confrontation with her mentor, Olivia, she’s not allowed to heal before being pressed into service when someone starts leaving women’s bodies, obviously torn up by a werewolf, on the doorstep of the local pack leader. Jesse is maneuvered into getting involved in a way that’s very uncomfortable to his morals. Rumor is running amongst the wolves that Scarlett can cure them and a third group makes itself known; one of legend that has the vampires, witches and werewolves scared.There is a great deal going on in many directions and yet I found the story to drag for a stretch. But the resolution for much of it comes together nicely in a surprising way, including Scarlett’s relationship with the Old World leaders in the area. And I definitely want to see where that latest change takes the series.Interesting tale told from both Scarlett’s and Jesse’s points of view. And you’ve got to like the new addition to the story.
