Alice Daniels has a problem. Her reflection keeps misbehaving when she looks in the mirror--and the longer she ignores it, the harder it tries to get her attention. On her eighteenth birthday, she learns why: she is a huntress, someone gifted with the power to enter mirrors and the magical world that exists beyond. But with this power comes immense responsibility, for in the Mirror Realm lurks an evil that has infected the human race for centuries: demons. It is up to her and her three huntress sisters--with the help of one handsome and overbearing protector--to hunt and banish this evil one demon at a time, thereby keeping the chaos in check. But when an ancient god pays Alice a visit that turns deadly, it is clear the Mirror Realm is more than it seems, and she soon finds herself in a race against time to save the life--and soul--of the one man the gods are determined to never let her have.
The Last Huntress is a story of redemption and sacrifice, the bonds of true sisterhood, and the impossible, sometimes frightening, things we'll do for love.
The Last Huntress by Lenore Borja is an excellent beginning to a fantastical series.
Will Alice Daniels get to keep the man that the Gods are trying to keep away from her?
Alice Daniels and her mom, Judy, moved from Colorado to Phoenix, Arizona, where they took over Judy’s parents’ house. They were meant to be there five years earlier, but they didn’t until now when she is a senior in high school. Alice is thrown into a world full of different possibilities when she has her 18th birthday and becomes a huntress.
What I like about this story is that Ms. Borja took a story from Greek Mythology that isn’t widely popular and made a great book from it. All the characters were awesome, from Alice to the three other Huntress to their protector to all the evil characters. Each one was vastly different from the others, but they all seemed to fit together—especially the four huntresses.
Five Stars
I am giving five stars to The Last Huntress by Lenore Borja and recommending it to anyone interested in mythology retellings. Ms. Borja is a remarkable writer, and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. She floored me with the way that this one was written. I was sucked in immediately and felt like I was experiencing everything with the characters.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Last Huntress by Lenore Borja.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
