Review; Hunted - A Jonathan Harker Novel av Christopher Draven

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Thanks to Enchanted Book Promotions, I got the chance to read Hunted - A Jonathan Harker Novel by Christopher Draven and today it's my turn to review it.

Description from Goodreads
Slinging Spells with Broken Ribs Isn't Easy 

Jonathan Harker, an itinerant mage with a personal agenda, travels to meet a mysterious contact with information Harker desperately needs. Harker arrives in town a few months early, sets up shop, and meets the local practitioners; including a Fortune-Teller named Clover and a self-described "Kitchen Witch" named Momma Dee. Everything went according to plan. 
However, nothing is ever easy. Waking up tied to a chair with broken ribs, Harker's situation grows complicated. 
A powerful summoner, who traffics in pacts with Demons, has set his sights on Harker. Armed with impossibly powerful magic, the Summoner snares Harker in a deadly trap. In order to survive, Harker must get help from Clover and Momma Dee; and figure out why he has been targeted. To prevail against the Summoner and his ilk, Jonathan Harker must walk unprepared into a pit of Demons and black magic - and come out alive on the other side.

 My thoughts on the novel
Personally I enjoyed reading this novel, esp. as it is in a sense a spin-off from Bram Stoker's Dracula and the latter is indirectly mentioned several times during Hunted (Dracula fans will easily find those nudges). Another good thing is that Hunted portrays Jonathan Harker a bit more badass than the "regular" portrayal in movies etc.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
