 The Rules was one of the most surprising books that I read in 2013, I honestly didn't expect to be so entertained and engrossed by it. I expected to enjoy The Hunt just as much as I enjoyed The Rules, if not more. Ultimately I was extremely disappointed by The Hunt because it's huge shift in tone from book #1. While The Rules was an intense paranormal high-school romance, The Hunt is more bent on being a sci-fi thriller. I did enjoy The Hunt, but it feels like it's worlds away from book one, The Rules and I didn't expect Kade to take such a leap. 
 Ariane and Zane have escaped from GTX's clutches, but there are still more looming threats in their way. GTX isn't the only company who has created alien-hybrids and there are two other companies who have made hybrids of their own. With GTX and the other companies still active, Ariane and Zane will never be able to be safe and so they try to recruit the help of the other hybrids. 
 I really loved the intense nature of The Hunt, but at times I felt as if the plot needed to be more fast-paced. A thriller should be extremely fast-paced in my opinion and The Hunt's plot dragged a bit around the middle. I really wish Kade had focused more on the paranormal aspects of the hybrids, instead of relying on thriller cliches. There were so many opportunities for Kade to explore the special powers that the Hybrids have, but instead there's too many sections where Ariane and Zane are trying to "run away' from GTX. It didn't really make sense to me how Ariane and Zane were evading GTX and yet, those two a terrible job of being discreet and covering their tracks. The only way they could have been more obvious unless they had a blinking neon sign that read: "ALIEN HYBRID". 
 I loved the chemistry between Ariane and Zane, Kade really has developed their relationship into something special. I love how both characters are complete polar opposites and yet they still can find solace in each other. I totally ship Ariane and Zane as a couple, but I really want them to work out all of their personal issues because their bickering in The Hunt became exhausting. 
 I think Zane and Ariane were characterized well, but I think the other alien hybrids were a bit lacking in development. I am aware that Kade was trying to contrast the difference in between the way Ariane and the other hybrids were created, but I just wanted each hybrid to have their own distinct personality. 
 I will be reading the 3rd Project Paper Doll book, even though I was disappointed with The Hunt. The Hunt was an action-packed, thrilling read though I do believe that the plot and character development could have been tightened. I am really hoping that all of my qualms with The Hunt are resolved in the 3rd and final book in this series.
