Amazon.co.uk:Customer reviews: The Chase: The BRAND NEW gripping revenge thriller from Evie Hunter for 2022

I have been a fan of Evie’s work for a little while now. I read the synopsis for ‘The Chase’ and it certainly sounded like the sort of gritty tale I have come to expect from Evie. So without further ado, I grabbed my Kindle, grabbed a cup of tea and settled down for what proved to be an interesting afternoon of reading. I did enjoy reading ‘The Chase’ but more about that in a bit.
I have to be honest and say that it took me a little while to get into ‘The Chase’. I think that part of the problem was the fact that the story began with a lot of detail about horses and horse racing, which doesn’t really interest me. I persevered with the story and I am so glad that I did. Once I got past the horsey detail, I found that I couldn’t turn the pages of the book quickly enough. I was intrigued by the storylines and by the characters. I had my own suspicions as to what was going to happen so I had to keep reading to see if I was on the right track or if I had wandered down the wrong path entirely. I became so caught up in the story and lost all track of time. I soon got to the end of ‘The Chase’. I found ‘The Chase’ to be a gritty and gripping read, which kept me guessing and which kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
‘The Chase’ is well written but that’s what I have come to expect from Evie. She certainly knows how to grab the reader’s attention and draw them into what proves to be one hell of a story. For me, the story hit the ground running and maintained a fairly fast pace throughout. Reading ‘The Chase’ felt a bit like being on an at times scary and unpredictable rollercoaster ride with several twists and turns along the way. I love the way in which Evie makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story themselves and at the heart of the action.
In short and overall I did enjoy reading ‘The Chase’ and I would recommend this book to other readers. I look forward to reading much more of Evie’s work in the future. The score on the Gigner Book Geek board is a very well deserved 4* out of 5*.

Brilliant revenge thriller with plenty of romance thrown in

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2022

The Chase is a superbly written revenge thriller. Farah, gets fired from her beloved job working with race horses and is determined to prove that her suspicions of dodgy dealing are true. She joins forces with one of the race horse owners., The ever dashing Isaac. Of course he is super rich and can have anything he wants as oppose to Farah who struggles for every penny, an unlikely couple? Well you’ll have to buy this wonderful book to find out.

Evie Hunter has a powerful writing style that does not mess about. No beginning chapters that don’t seem to matter to much, more of a few filler chapters. Not so for Evie Hunter, she is straight in there with action. Certainly my kind of book. I enjoyed this fascinating world of the rich and richer with their horses and fast cars. The story is packed with intrigue and has it’s fair share of romance thrown in. It is entertaining and suspenseful throughout. A definite good all round summer read.

Beyond The Books

A Great Read Again From Evie Hunter.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2022

Evie Hunter is an author whose books I love to read. She always manages to tick all my boxes whatever she releases. As soon as I got my invite to this tour I was already really looking forward to this book. I just hoped she could keep up her excellent standards to make The Chase as excellent a read as her previous ones. I always wonder just why I even think about standards, I should have faith. The Chase was such a great revenge thriller!

Set In the horse racing world really made it a refreshing plot. I know nothing about this world, or anything that goes on in it. Farah is our main character and it's looking like she knows of some shady stuff going on withing this world she is a part of.

This set the tone for me and I was so interested as to what would happen next. She feels she can't trust anyone in her life as everyone has let her down. Then there is Isaac, can she trust him and why does she even think she can??

This is a mystery thriller that just keeps ramping up the suspense the more you read. I found myself on the edge of my seat on numerous occasions throughout. As always the characters are relatable and so realistic. I felt for Farah and hoped that, although they came from truly different backgrounds, that they could find a way.

I managed to read this in one sitting, only because it had me glued to the kindle. Such an addictive read with tension, mystery, romance and an intriguing plot. Evie Hunter has again proved that she can still make me hang on to her every word.

Based on the world of horseracing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2022

Self-made millionaire businessman Isaac Fernandez owns three racehorses that he stables at Guy Lavant’s Lambourn premises. When Isaac makes an impromptu visit he hears Guy’s second-in-command Dale Drummond sacking Farah Ash, the stable-hand who cares for his own horses. Isaac senses something’s wrong and as it appears to involve his own horses he intends finding out what it is and who has tampered with Farah’s car.

‘The Chase’ is based around the world of horseracing and is an easy though slightly predictable read that I finished in twenty-four hours. There’s no major excitement or unexpected surprises but it’s a story with interesting characters and a well-thought-out plot. The ending is a bit of a non-event but it’s a decent enough story that I’ve enjoyed reading.

Fast paced and gripping.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2022

Evie Hunter writes some graphic fast pace novels. I have loved them all.

This one was a little slow to start but once it got going it picked up the pace and gripped me.

A mystery thriller set in the horse racing world is intriguing and not having a clue what goes on in this world, Evie described it perfectly with her clever imagination. Evie describes her characters so they become believable.

Full of suspense and drama this book definitely kept me on my toes until the last page.

This will keep you very well entertained.

An enjoyable read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2022

This is a stand alone romantic, cosy mystery, set in the horse racing world in Lambourne. I really enjoyed it and it was filled with interesting characters, an easy to follow plot, touches of romance and a steady pace. Perhaps it was a bit predictable but I would recommend this enjoyable read. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

The chase

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2022

The Chase is based around the horse racing world in Lambourne. While I don’t have much knowledge in this subject, the first few chapters definitely fill you in on the horsy world! Once you’re past that, Evie Hunter’s writing style becomes fast paced and while at times, it feels slightly predictable, it’s hard to deny that you’re still gripped with suspense, turning the paged to see if you were right. It also has a sprinkling of romance, which I wasn’t expecting when I read the synopsis.
