With Ireland as an opening setting, the reader will immediately meet gorgeous Conn Kayrs, an incredible warrior, brother to Dage, the King of the Real. Conn is also a vampire with his romantic sites set on lovely but deadly Moira, a witch. Moira is much more than just a witch; she is a university professor and the seventh child of the seventh sister and her family sits on the Coven Nine council of witches. Conn is able to have wild sex with Moira who he's courted for a century and immediately afterward, he can take heads off with the best of them. He is able also to recover from deadly wounds with a little help from his vampire's bite and cure himself. The Kurjans, vampires with nothing good in mind, have created a virus that will allow them to steal vampire mates. Moira, having delighted in sex with Conn, is just that, a vampire mate. And is it possible that one of the Coven Nine is a traitor? With all its violence and plentiful bad and good guys, "Hunted"'s theme will continue in another story as Kalin, a murderous, not so nice character, has his eyes on Conn's niece, Janie Belle.

"Hunted" is a well-written paranormal novel that will appeal to fans of the genre. Its many characters - witches, vampires, shapeshifters - are believable and suit the novel's pace well. The dialogue, subplots and action are first rate and add to the basic storyline. "Hunted" is a must-read that will have great appeal to the many who love the idea of an alternate world filled with vampires, witches, and werewolves.

"Hunted" by Rebecca Zanetti is the third in her series about witches, vampires, Kurjans, demons and changers all of whom interact in a world which is manipulated by the witches via quantum physics. In this novel Moira, the seventh of Seven sisters, is fated to interact with her intended mate Conn, a vampire. Conn has waited a century for Moira after a one night stand 100 years ago and he is now bent on claiming her as his own. Virus-27 has now threatened to destroy the witches via manipulation of their genes. The changers are also affected and like the HIV virus, the Virus-27 threatens to be immune to the best modern science has to offer. In the meantime, the Coven of Nine appears split in their loyalties and they threaten to pull out of the Realm.

Not having read the first two books in the series, it took me a while to get into the nature of the various groups. I had initially expected considerable emphasis on the relationship of Moira and Conn as they appeared to have considerable "unfinished business" as it relates to their love relationship. Instead, I got politics and passionate, aggressive encounters between the two lead characters. I must say that the action was ongoing and intriguing but at times it appeared to be at the expense of the development of the major players. I do feel that Zanetti fans probably got their money's worth in this novel as Zanetti is a master of interweaving intrigue with ongoing and breath-taking action.
