After the Australian Pack murdered Reese William’s parents, the young werewolf fled and took refuge with the American Pack. Three years later, the Australians have tracked him down and dispatched a bounty hunter to bring him back. That bounty hunter, though, isn’t the lone wolf who owes them a debt, but his twenty-one-year-old daughter, Madison. Maddie is determined to bring in the rogue Reese for her ailing father. Now Reese has to show her the truth behind her client's lies…and avoid being the cause of an all-out war for Elena and the rest of the American Pack.

This is a graphic novel set in the Women of the Otherworld world. This story follows Reese, the young Australian werewolf who joined the pack in the book Frostbitten. If you read Chivalrous, then you know Reese’s back story about why he left Australia. The backstory of Chilvalrous is pretty critical to the story in Bounty Hunt.
Maddie is the human daughter of a werewolf. She came to live with her father after her mother was murdered. Her mother taught her at a young age to call a certain number if she were ever in trouble. She went to live with her father after her mother’s death. Her father owes a debt to the local Australian werewolves. He is asked to find Reese and bring him back to the pack. Maddie decides that she is better equipped to bring Reese in than her father, so she leaves for America.
Maddie thought it would be pretty easy to seduce and bring in a young college boy. However, she was not aware of the past that Reese has had with young college girls. He has no trust in them. It is harder to flirt and seduce him than she expects. The Australians come to America to speed things up. They have to deal with Elena and Clay
Bounty Hunt is a nice addition to the Otherworld series. We get to spend more time with Reese. Elena and Clay make an appearance. Plus the new additions of Maddie and her father as characters were done well. There are pages at the end that come from the Legacy. Keep reading all the way to the end, even past the Legacy. The very last page is a nice treat. Showing us what Jeremy and Jamie had to deal with while Clay and Elena are gone.
While I think you could read this book without knowing the Otherworld stories, I do think you will miss out on a lot of the backstory. This was a limited edition print. I believe that this is something Kelley Armstrong printed knowing that it would only be picked up for the diehard fans. I don’t read a lot of graphic novels, but I’ve read some. This one is well done with great artistry. I will continue to get my hands on anything that Kelley Armstrong publishes, if I can manage it.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
I’ve been so curious about these. I love graphic novels and Kelly Armstrong’s books…why haven’t I read these yet? *adds to wish list* Great review!

I really enjoyed this. “Becoming” is a great one too about Elena becoming a werewolf. I would also recommend the Mercy Thompson Graphic novels. Most are just redoing the existing novels, but I have one “Homecoming” that takes place before “Moon Called”.

Wow, thank you! I didn’t realize that there were Mercy Thompson graphic novels too. *happy dance*

Season two starts the Friday, 17th in the US on SyFy. The finale was Saturday night in Canada. The Canadians have already started a #RenewBitten for season three.

She does so many side stories that it would be great to read them all but now a days I stick to the collections she puts out. Plus another college girl angle for Reese? Ehhh no.

I thought the way the story was done, it was a completely different story. Reese did learn from his previous experience.

I’ve never actually read this series…kinda embarrassing really :-/ But I might give it a go on audio or if they have a graphic novel version of other books, I’ll try those too. I like the art too!

I really liked the artwork for these books. There aren’t many graphic novels. It is a really fun series. I highly recommend it. There are a bunch of different narrators for this series on audio, some are better than others. I hope you enjoy.

Armstrong, yay 🙂

That is my thought exactly. I will read anything by her.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I have never read anything by her-yet. And I have never read a graphic novel-I really don’t know if I would like it or not. But YAY for something different for sure!
Lorna recently posted…Review: Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I love Kelley Armstrong. I will read anything she publishes. As for graphic novels, I don’t read many. The ones that I have read are all authors that I read their novels. I’ve read Mercy Thompson and Anita Blake graphic novels too.

Oh I would love to get my hands on a copy of this. Like you I would love to read everything that Kelly publishes, but I’ve only read two of the subterrain novella’s so far and I miss a few more novella’s. I really like the art style for this graphic novel. Great review!

I get all of her other books from the library so I can afford to get the Subterranean Press books.

It’s kind of funny what is being turned into manga or graphic novels, I do love the variety and if they get more people to actually read, all the better!
I have wanted to try this series for awhile but it always gets put on the back burner. I did like the first season of the TV series though.

Season one followed the plot of the first book for the most part, but there were a few very large changes. I’m excited for the second season, which starts Friday. I will say that the books are better, but that is usually the case, right? 🙂
Melanie recently posted…Review: Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Oh I’m interested! I didn’t have much luck with the series, but I think I can learn to love this graphic novel – even with my limited knowledge of the world.
Thanks for putting this on my radar!
I hope you enjoy. I haven’t read many graphic novels, but I liked this one.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I have never read a graphic novel, it sounds great! An Aussie werewolf? As an Australian myself, I am intrigued. I need to play catch-up with this series, I’m so far behind!
A great review Melanie.

Yeah, the pack picks up a Australian in Frostbitten. I can’t remember if he was still in high school at the time or early college. He is on the run from the Australian pack. I really like Reese.

I have read some of Armstrong but usually don’t do graphic novels. Still great to hear that it offered to the series
I don’t know if I could read a graphic novel that I didn’t already have some connection with the story. Everything I have read has been part of a series of novels that I’ve read. Either just redone as graphic novels or an additional story to the series.
