Summary of Unnatural Vol. 2: The Hunt, by Mirka Andolfo

Dive into the chaos of 'Unnatural Vol. 2: The Hunt' as Leslie faces betrayal, romance, and a battle for her identity in a wild world!

Welcome back to the wild, wild world of Unnatural. Volume 2, subtitled The Hunt, takes our favorite half-wolf, half-human hybrid, Leslie, and throws her into a chaotic mess of intrigue, betrayal, and a splash of romance-because who doesn't love a good love story amid sheer absurdity?

Let's set the stage: Our heroine, Leslie, is still reeling from the shocking events of the first volume (seriously, if you haven't read that yet, what are you waiting for? Spoilers ahead!). She's trying to navigate her complicated feelings for the handsome-but-mysterious cop, while also dealing with the repercussions of being a literal half-breed in a world that, let's face it, isn't ready to embrace diversity beyond the basic human spectrum.

Now, brace yourselves for the drama! The book kicks off with Leslie's life spiraling out of control faster than you can say "internalized trauma." The freedom she sought? Yeah, that's a distant memory, especially now that hunters (not your typical Big Game variety) are hot on her tail like overzealous paparazzi at a celebrity meltdown. They're armed, they're determined, and they definitely did not get the memo that hunting half-wolves wasn't fashionable anymore.

As Leslie embarks on a frantic escape, we get treated to stunning artwork that pairs beautifully with Andolfo's biting wit-seriously, the visuals here could make even the most mundane action sequence feel epic. The art is so on point it almost steals the show while Leslie does her best to juggle fleeing for her life and a budding romance, because nothing says "settling down" quite like dodging bullets and fending off hunters.

A major theme of this volume is the tension between Leslie's instincts and her humanity. She grapples with her identity-should she fully embrace her wolf side, or cling to her human roots like a child clutching a security blanket? Spoiler alert: choosing sides in this story never goes down smoothly.

There's also a delightful cast of secondary characters that includes friends, foes, and questionable acquaintances who add layers of complexity to the plot. Each character has their quirks, making it hard to keep a straight face-especially when they bring their own baggage into the mix. Who knew that half-wolves have such a vibrant social life?

But don't let the comedic undertones fool you-this volume has its darker moments. Betrayal lurks around every corner, and readers might find themselves gasping as allegiances shift faster than Leslie can change her mind about her life choices. Trust me, you'll want to keep your popcorn ready as this story goes full throttle toward its climactic showdown.

So, if you're ready for more chaos, more action, and a whole lot of what-were-they-thinking moments, then Unnatural Vol. 2: The Hunt is just the ticket. Prepare for the feels, the laughs, and a roller coaster of emotions as Leslie navigates what it means to truly be free. Just remember, in this world, sometimes it's not about running away; it's about running toward something-ideally, something that doesn't want to eat you.

Enjoy the hunt!
