About Hunting in Bruges by E.J. Stevens
The only thing worse than being a Hunter in the fae-ridden city of Harborsmouth, is hunting vamps in Bruges.
Being shipped off to Belgium sucks. The medieval city of Bruges is quaint, but the local Hunters’ Guild is understaffed, the canals are choked with dead bodies, and there’s no shortage of supernatural predators as likely suspects. On second thought, maybe Bruges isn’t so bad after all. With a desire to prove herself, protect the innocent, and advance within the ranks of the Hunters’ Guild, Jenna Lehane hits the cobbled streets of Bruges with blades at the ready. Someone, or something, is murdering tourists and dumping their bodies in the city’s scenic canals.
With the help of a mysterious stranger, Jenna begins to piece together clues that are dotted throughout the city like blood spatter. Determined to stop the killings, Jenna delves into a bloody local history that only raises more questions–but some secrets are best left buried. Jenna must put her combat training to the test as she struggles to unearth the truth about an ancient enemy. Hunting in Bruges is the first novel in the Hunters’ Guild urban fantasy series set in the award-winning world of Ivy Granger.

Review of Hunting in Bruges
5 stars for the narration and for the story. Two narrators, Melanie A. Mason and Anthony Bowling, do a wonderful job of bringing this story to life. Having listened to more than one book from E.J. Stevens and this narration team, I am ready to listen to the next book!
But before that, I should talk about this book. Bruges, a city I know next to nothing about, is the colorful location for this paranormal mystery. Full of ghost, ghouls, vampires and many other supernatural creatures, there is no lack of action for our valiant Hunter and her friends. Ivy Granger readers might recognize Jenna LeHane. In Hunting in Bruges, Jenna is the star.
Several secondary characters add depth, humor and motivation to the story. Jenna’s mysterious stranger (as mentioned in the book blurb) is totally charming and certainly adds a light-hearted tone to an otherwise dire situation. The overall story has a resolution but also sets the reader up for the ongoing story of the war with the supernaturals.
Thanks to the author who gave away some audiobooks. I was please to get this one! My review is my honest opinion.
