4 Stars!

Five hundred and sixty-four pages of pursuit, pressure, and prayer … resolve refusing to be extinguished in the shadows of evil. Hunting Truth gathers three authors beneath one banner, following wounded hearts, scarred veterans, and faithful K-9s as they run straight toward danger with Scripture stitched into their strength.

Each novella carries its own distinct atmosphere. One leans into the psychological terror of a predator whose presence feels suffocating. Another unfolds in a setting that should feel safe yet quietly fractures under pressure. The third steps into the fragile space where despair and intervention meet face to face. Different landscapes. Different wounds.

What did I love most? The emotional depth.

These characters are courageous, yet unmistakably human. Trauma lingers. PTSD is handled with care. Regret carries weight. Fear is not avoided; it is walked through with trembling resolve. Strength grows slowly. Trust is rebuilt carefully.

The K-9 partners are companions, guardians, and at times catalysts for healing. Loyal. Protective. Unwavering. Necessary. They heighten the danger and love fiercely through it all.

Hunting Truth moves quickly and strikes with purpose. Evil casts long shadows, but it does not get the final word.

I received a digital ARC of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and was not compensated in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own and reflect my honest evaluation of the writing, content, and narration.
