Books with title The Hunted: Book Two in The Tainted Series

Rebecca had killed. And if her renewed nightmares are a forewarning, she’ll kill again. Unable to control her burgeoning powers, Rebecca fears for her new found friends, terrified that they might be her next victims. Though training with Liam has brought her some respite, the insatiable bloodlust that her Feiceann lineage has unleashed within her threatens to consume her. Feeling alone and misunderstood, Rebecca’s doubts about her place within the crew and whether she truly belongs are thrown into even sharper relief when an unexpected visitor arrives bearing a warning. The Aillil, seeking revenge for the murder of their General, have dispatched their most elite killing force, who will stop at nothing to destroy Rebecca, Liam, or anyone who dares protect them. Running from her past, her destiny, and the team of deadly assassins sent to execute her, Rebecca has become…the hunted.

Orphaned at birth, Rebecca’s life had been anything but easy. From run-ins with the law to being bounced from one foster home to another, trouble and misery had followed Rebecca like a shadow. But now, entering her senior year of high school, Rebecca’s life finally had a few bright spots—a kind elderly couple had taken her in, her grades were on the rise, and she’d found a best friend. Except for the vivid night terrors that continued to plague her sleep, her life was becoming rather ordinary. That is, until she met Maverick—a tall, handsome stranger who said he held a secret to her past and that he could transform her greatest fear into her greatest gift. But to uncover this secret, Rebecca would need to embroil herself in a violent feud that has raged for centuries—a vendetta that could cost her everything, including her life. Faced with a terrible choice, Rebecca must decide whether to keep her newfound sense of normalcy and the relationships with those she’d come to love or risk it all and throw her life back into chaos in order to discover what she truly is...Tainted.
