What is the difference between justice and revenge? In this buzzworthy new standalone thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger, two wronged women on very different paths find themselves in the same dark place…
Claudia Bishop’s perfect life fell apart when the aftermath of a brutal assault left her with a crumbling marriage, a newborn daughter, and a constant sense of anxiety about the world around her. Now, looking for a fresh start with a home restoration project and growing blog, Claudia takes on a crumbling old house—one that unbeknownst to her has an ugly history and may hide long buried secrets.
For Zoey Drake the defining moment of her childhood was the horrific home invasion murder of her parents. Years later, she has embraced the rage that fuels her. Training in the martial arts has made her strong and ready to face the demons from the past—and within.
Strangers to each other, and walking very different paths in the wake of trauma, these two women are on a collision course—because Zoey’s past nightmare and Claudia’s dreams for her future take place in the very same house. As Zoey seeks justice, and Claudia seeks peace, both will confront the monsters at the door that are the most frightening of all.

Five pages was all it took for me to get enthralled in this story. Five pages to get captivated by the first protagonist. Five pages and I cant wait to read the next page, the next chapter.
Im about halfway done and Im blown away by Zoey. She is one of those characters where I find myself saying, Oh my God, I thought I was the only who felt like that. Lisas writing is simply amazing.
Finished today and like her previous novel, Ink and Bone, The Red Hunter stays with you. Theres themes of the good and bad within all of us, of tearing down to rebuild, of healing from trauma and finding your own strength.
Zoey survives the murder of her parents, while being tortured and left for dead. She studies Kung Fu and embraces the spirituality that goes with it.
Claudia survives a brutal assault in her own home and lives with the triggers of PTSD. She takes on a home restoration project away from the ghosts of her past.
This novel is, in my opinion, one of Lisa Ungers best. Its gripping, compelling and powerful. I enjoyed it and am definitely recommending it to others.
Thanks to Lisa Unger and Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, Inc for an early edition copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
