The Huntress follows the story of Nina Markova, a young woman raised in Russia who leaves her unsafe surroundings to join a group of women pilots as a bomber during the Nazi reign of terror. We learn of her past and what has led her to track down a woman called The Huntress who has murdered many innocent people. We also meet two men, Ian and Tony who are also searching for The Huntress for their own reasons. Our third main character is Jordan, a young woman who lives in Boston with her widowed father who soon becomes engaged to a German widow who escaped the war. They will all come together in their search for answers.


I was a huge fan of Quinn’s page turner The Alice Network so I had high hopes for this novel, and it certainly did not disappoint. I never thought I would be a fan of historical fiction but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite genres. Quinn is able to write women in such a way that you’re cheering them on throughout the story and can’t help but join the fight with them. This seemed to love a little slower for me than The Alice Network but no less enjoyable. An amazing read.
