The Hunter: A Nightingale Novel by T.M. Dawson The Hunter: A Nightingale Novel , is based on an interesting idea and could be a promising book. It is original and reveals a world of countless possibilities where normal and paranormal creatures interact naturally.

The reader has access to a real world seen through her eyes and to a dream world, often mentioned by the main character.     Thoughts and facts, as well as feelings, are specific to the way of thinking met among teenagers. Love and divinity are two important themes in this novel, and the perception is divided between the general view (a social perspective) and the particular view (a personal perspective). The leitmotiv of the novel seems to be the relationship between man and animal, namely humans and wolves. The ritual of drowning cats gives a round aspect to DJ Swykert ’s book, being present (in fact) at the beginning of the story and (in theory) at the end of it. This relationship might be seen as a met...
