Hunters Don't Cry: Extended Version

Dark, twisted and unsettling, this is an urban fantasy world with a slightly dystopian feel. What drew me in was the world-building, the unexpected twists and the high level of angst - a homophobic and grandeur-prone, elitist world of Hunters, who live besides the human population but have their own rules and moral codex/ if it can be called moral at all/ against the paranormals - vampires, werewolves and other creatures, painted like the worst Plague ever existed. The story was told from one of the main characters POVs - Collen, even though we see a glimpse of Logan /his partner/ too. Collen was raised, groomed and conditioned to think in a certain way. And this way was definitely not how Hunters were taught to act and believe. Even falling in love with your partner is something forbidden if you're a same-s€x couple. Logan and Collen were a dysfunctional partnership at least for me, uneven as capabilities and skill set. They were a world apart even in the way the were seeing the future in front of them and what they wanted to achieve.
As a whole it was interesting to read but I love my characters with a little more spunk and backbone. Neither Collen or Logan were what usually captivates me.
The story was intriguing, I just couldn't connect with the writing style to enjoy it fully.
