About this listen

Alone.

That’s the way FBI Agent Santino Alvarez prefers to live his life.

To serve, and protect.

The oath Santino took the day he was sworn in and one that he fully intends to keep.

Playing pretend and blending in.

It’s all part of his plan.

Being the hunter.

Is the only way he can make sure that justice is served.

Until he becomes…the hunted.

When he finds his next target already dead with a message from the k!ller, just for him.

Nothing is as it seems.

Especially when he collides with Silva Hunt and sparks begin to fly.

Romance was never supposed to be in the cards. But Silva awakens something in Santino that he hasn’t felt before.

As things heat up between the two of them, so does the chase between Santino and The Reaper.

It’s a hunt that only one of them will survive.

Get ready for this slow-burn, edge of your seat, dark romance from author Nicole Banks. The Hunted is guaranteed to take on a wild ride of twists and turns that will have you questioning everything.

🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW 🎧
Well that is definitely not what I was expecting. But wow what a turn!
The story had me second guessing who done it the entire time. Is it this person or that one? Wait is it that one?
I pride myself in usually knowing pretty fast but this one kept me on my toes.
Sylvia and Santino were 🔥🥵🤤 especially when they finally get together. It's out of this world.
This story will keep you second guessing, on your toes, head turning the entire way.
If you're a fan of shows like Dexter or books like Butcher and Blackbird than this story is definitely for you.
Beware that it ended in a cliffhanger. 😫 but it just makes me want to get the next book that much more.

Nicole Banks pens a killer of a novel, a dark and twisted romance with a side of mystery and suspense that takes you to the edge of your seat, keeps you thinking and on your toes. It is an original, fast-moving story with interesting storylines that captivate your attention the entire time. The story follows FBI Agent Santino Alvarez, a man with a forgotten past, and one who takes his sworn to serve and protect to another level, on his own time, of course. Santino was not a people person and never had much of an interest in getting involved with anyone until he met her, Silvia Hunt, who took him by surprise. Banks created a complex tale with equally complex characters, not your usual FBI agent on the case of multiple homicides, and not your typical serial killer either. To make it even more interesting is when the hunter becomes the hunted, and trying to figure out by whom, there is some competition out there and the outcome is not one you would expect. Yeah, I am keeping it vague, not to spoil anything, because it is best to go in knowing as little as possible and enjoy the dark and twisted ride as it plays out. It was great watching Santino and Silvia’s relationship form and grow, and learning more about them and their pasts. This cleverly plotted story has plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, mystery, thrilling and suspenseful moments, and a slow-burn romance. Nicole Banks, thanks for the terrific story, a wild and twisted ride, and an ending that leaves you wanting more.

🎧📚🎧 Ryan Pierson and Violet Strong were great at voicing the characters and delivering a perfect portrayal of each. Both killed it in their roles, embodying their characters completely, showcasing every aspect of their personalities and demeanors. They set the ideal tone for the story, and their expressive performance conveyed all the characters’ emotions into their performance, a riveting performance that hooks you to the story. Ryan Pierson and Violet Strong are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Where do I even start? This dark thriller romance had me on the edge of my seat. Santino works for the FBI and is in the perfect position to do what he needs to do. A loner after a crazy childhood, he learned how to purge his anger through hunting his prey. No interest in romance, he does his best to not bring attention to himself. But now, he is being hunted and all signs point to his signature. Then he meets Silva. His perfect match, she challenges him and fulfills him. He can't be with her though while he is being hunted, he needs to be on his A game and figure out who it is and keep her out of danger. Can he do it though? Can he stay away? Can he keep her safe? This is a story filled with twists and turns, surprises about childhood and who you can trust at work. It's passionate and darkness just adds to the suspense. It's phenomenal, leaving me with a cliffhanger that I wasn't expecting and now I just want more!

Ryan Pierson and Violet Strong are perfectly cast for this. Talk about an amazing narration, these two could not have been better. Pierson is that dangerous, crazy bad boy that I had to love. Silva is just as crazy and Strong brings it all out with her incredible voice. It's impossible to stop listening to, between the story and the portrayal of the characters. Nicole Banks has a winner on her hands.

Phenomenal Romantic suspense!
