Heart of the Huntress, A Camille Novel, Tess Oliver

Seventeen-year-old Camille Kennecott has finally found true happiness. Her twin sister, Emily, has returned home after years of self-inflicted seclusion within the austere confines of Bethlem Hospital. Nathaniel Strider, the boy who has captured Camille's heart, is with Camille whenever he is not living his dream as a sailor on the open sea. And her guardian, Dr. Bennett, jas graciously carved our a space in his scientific laboratory for Camille to spend her day experimenting with herbal remedies.

When Dr. Bennet receives a plea from a colleague to visit Transylvania and help deal with the werewolf problem, Camille is thrilled at the prospect of travelling to this exotic place. But the darkest form of treachery has boarded the ship with them, and it is not long before Camille faces the chilling possibility of losing everyone she's ever loved.

Tess Oliver is one of my favorite authors, and I think Heart of the Huntress is one of her best works... after Camille. Heart of the Huntress is a tad bit different from Camille because the setting changes and  there are more complicated characters and conflicts going on.

All of her books are self-published, and they are above and beyond the normal self-published ones. The writing was extremely good, and the story-line was quite interesting. I would've found it boring because the Camille series is about werewolves, but because there was mystery and action to balance it. 

Camille, the main character, seemed more mature than in the first book. She didn't 'giggle' over everything, and could handle difficult situations well. For example, when the boat sinks and she is washed ashore and meets a stranger, she doesn't panic, and calmly goes near civilization. She is a strong and likable character.

Two words for Nathaniel: he rocks. He doesn't betray Camille in any way. He is strong all along the book and never gives up easily. Somewhere in the book, he is blamed for attacking one of the passengers onboard and gets thrown into the 'jail', I suppose I'd call it. Camille keeps bringing him food and blankets, and that's the part where all the 'awww's come in. They are a sweet couple together. 

Heart of the Huntress is a great book for all ages, I really liked it. And, you never get bored with re-reading it. I've read the series over and over and it never gets boring. I really don't know what happened with the cover of this book, because it's not the best book cover for Heart of the Huntress. I mean, looking at the cover you'd think it was a paranormal romance set in the modern day, but it's a very clean book where women still wear big dresses and communication is by letters. Although the people on cover are wearing old-fashioned clothes, I feel like something is missing. Camille's book cover was great. It actually looked like the dress was from England in the eighteen century, and the girl in the cover I suppose it's Camille is really pretty... even though she's missing her white streak of hair.
But, overall one of the best books by Tess Oliver. Looking forward for the next book!
