“Ronald has done a terrific job with the Celtic mystical matter….[She] has tapped into the dark streak that runs as an undercurrent through much Irish folklore.”
—Charles de Lint, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

With Soul Hunt, Margaret Ronald continues the edgy adventures of Red Sox fan and supernatural tracker Evie (“Hound”) Scelan as she negotiates her way through Boston’s deadly undercurrent. One of the most exciting new voices in urban fantasy follows her Spiral Hunt and Wild Hunt with another electrifying tale of paranormal activities, as Evie Scelan must make good on an otherworldly debt or suffer devastating consequences. Aficionados of Kim Harrison and Jim Butcher—and anyone who appreciates the brilliant contemporary  spins on ancient mythology deftly executed by Neil Gaiman and Tim Powers—will certainly want to hunt down Margaret Ronald’s Soul Hunt.

From the Back Cover

The hunter has become the hunted . . .

Without even realizing what she was doing, Genevieve Scelan has made a bad bargain. The Red Sox fanatic and supernatural tracker known as "Hound" for her extraordinary power of scent wishes she could leave magic behind now that she’s eradicated the evil cabal that oppressed Boston’s undercurrent for centuries. But now her talent’s fading, the local adepts’ squabbles are turning ugly, and worse, she’s just discovered that she owes a very large debt to someone . . . or some thing. And in the undercurrent, debts are taken very seriously.

Evie has until midwinter to pay up . . . or else. So when she gets a job that might save her—even if she’s breaking all her own rules to take it—she can’t pass it up. Now, with danger at her back and uncertain allies beside her, she’ll trace the very bones of Boston itself to protect both the city and the people she loves.

About the Author

The author of two previous Evie Scelan novels, Spiral Hunt and Wild Hunt, Margaret has also written stories for Realms of Fantasy, Strange Horizons, Baen's Universe, and Fantasy Magazine.

Margaret Ronald has done it again - this is an excellent book from Evie Scelan series, which is now one of my favorite in the mystery/fantasy genre. I've read it non-stop and couldn't put it down for the night. Highly recommend it to anyone who like complex and imaginative writing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing sexy about an overly sensitive nose......
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2011

Admittedly, I accidentally came into this series midway through. Sometimes ebooks aren't so clear on when a book is a part of a series. This did put me at a bit of a disadvantage when it came to getting into the story, as it took a while for Roland to explain or even mention past occurrences. That said, once I got into it, I did discover it's not quite my cup of tea. The magical part of Boston (The Undercurrent) is far more complex than it needs to be, and, as a Bostonian, it doesn't make sense to me as something that would work under the surface of my city. Further, I just don't get what's so cool about Evie's paranormal power of being "The Hound." It's all kind of gross to me. Add onto it that I just find Evie to be rather dull, and I won't be going back to catch up with the series or read any further. I do see why it would appeal to bigger fans of urban fantasy, though, and I appreciate that the setting is a northern one instead of the more typical southern ones. For that reason, I do recommend it to fans of urban fantasy looking for something a bit different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Hunt
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2011
Genevieve "Evie" Scelan knows that she's in deep trouble - she's given back the horn of the Wild Hunt and now has to pay the price for using it previously. Unfortunately, she's not been feeling herself, even to the point of losing her Hound abilities. Time is now running out for her survival and she has to find the answers before it's too late...

Evie's an alluring heroine with a nose for trouble (literally!). She is learning the consequences of her actions and they're not always pretty. I think this is a great series and Evie is a wonderful character. All of the characters are well fleshed out, while the story is enchanting and fast paced.

4.0 out of 5 stars What is it to make promises
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2012
This third book in the series has Evie settling into a life that she thinks she can live, and then realizing that if she doesn't change things, she won't get to live it long. I had a horrible feeling it might be the urban fantasy version of 6 Months To Live, but it managed to veer away from that.

There is a plot involving The Wild Hunt, and what she owes them, and people resisting her, but I thought the metaplot, about what it is to be family, and what it is to make promises, was more interesting.

I thought it was a pretty solid continuation of the series, overall.

Read if: you've read the previous books, you enjoy urban fantasy.

Skip if: you are looking for an entry point to this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun urban fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2010
Genevieve "Evie" Scelan knows she faces growing troubles, but is not sure what she can do about it. She took possession of the horn of the Wild Hunt without permission and had the audacity to use it though she did it for a good cause (unless you are a Damn Yankee fan - aside from this former Bronx resident); the Fiona Cabal prevented the Red Sox from winning the World Series for decades (see Wild Hunt). Lately, Evie feels lethargic struggling to do anything. Although not exactly sure, she believes her feebleness started when she rescued Nate from the quarry spirit. Finally her critical sense of smell that made her the Hound and a major part of who she is has vanished without an olfactory trace.

Evie knows time is running out on her. In two months the Wild Hunt will come after her as she owes a soul debt to an essence that she thinks of is more it than a strange species. She must learn what is happening to her, why and how to reverse it or face dire consequences when the collector comes for her. A desperate Evie begins looking inside herself and at her family for answers

The third Hunt Red Sox nation urban fantasy (see Spiral Hunt) is an engaging thriller as the heroine learns the cost of her recent success. Fast-paced, readers will be enthralled with this action-packed yet character driven tale as Evie has lost much of her other sensory prowess at a time when the bill collector demands remittance.
