Kate Quinn is an author who can draw you into her stories, whether it be her ones set in Rome or now the last two set during or after the Second World War. This story introduces us to Jordan, who is suspicious of the new woman who enters her fathers life with a secretive past. There is also the story of Ian and his partner Tony who are hunting down Nazis in post war Europe. Joining them on the hunt is Nina, another woman whose past that even her husband doesn't know about it.
While I wanted to enjoy the book, I found that there wasn't enough back story for me. Ninas story with the Russian Night Witches was the most compelling part of the novel, although she was not the most likable character at least she seemed somewhat real. The pacing of the book felt wrong to me with the middle of the story just dragging and the end was predictable and rushed. A week after reading it, it has become a bit forgettable. 2/5

Wow, quite a few problems with this one, it seems.
You have a very different opinion of this (one that I would probably agree with) than my husband had. He loved it and said it was his favorite read for May! Here is a link to his review if interested: http://ourstack.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-huntress-by-kate-quinn-historical.html
