I also noticed the anti-Christian slantHowever, after giving it a rest, I have come back to Hunter three or more times a. LACKEY AT HER BEST! Dr. Debra This series is Mercedes Lackey at her best! Wow! What a pleasure to read Hunter and Elite. The writing is smooth and tight. The world building--with a combination of futuristic and ancient fantasy--is superb.The characters are likable--especially Joy. The plot is mysterious and compelling.

Joy soon realizes that the city's powerful leaders care more about luring Cits into a false sense of security than protecting them. Then she is called to Apex City, where the best Hunters are kept to protect the most important people. Yet the Cits have no sense of how much danger they're in to them, Joy and her corps of fellow Hunters are just action stars they watch on TV. They came after the Diseray. To Joyeaux Charmand, who has been a Hunter in her tight-knit mountain community since she was a child, every Cit without magic deserves her protection from dangerous Othersiders. When an act of sabotage against Joy takes an unbearable toll, Joy uncovers a terrifying conspiracy. Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities, behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous monsters fighting to break through. Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it's taken
