Praise for the night hunter…

  • Andrea Bartz

    “With muscular prose, an evocative setting, complex characters, and a pulse-pounding plot, THE NIGHT HUNTER comes roaring onto the scene with all the skill and ferociousness of an apex predator. Moss's stunning debut is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year."

    –Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of THE LAST FERRY OUT and WE WERE NEVER HERE

  • Tasha Coryell

    “Twisty and unique, I was never certain whether to be more frightened of the animals at the reserve or the humans. At the center of it all, lies a compelling story about a mother and her two daughters and how they attempt (and sometimes fail) to care for one another.”

    —Tasha Coryell, bestselling author of LOVE LETTERS TO A SERIAL KILLER.

  • Allie Reynolds

    Safaris can be dangerous. This one is deadly! The South African bush is packed with danger, both human and animal in this chilling, unique thriller. Spectacular!

  • ★★★★★

    I was surprised this was Natalie Moss's debut novel, as it read like it was written by a seasoned professional.

    The Night Hunter - in this novel Natalie Moss doesn’t write a mere thriller; she constructs a pressure cooker and slowly turns up the heat until the reader is as breathless as the protagonists. In The Night Hunter, Moss delivers a chilling, atmospheric masterclass in suspense and rich environment.

    —Goodreads Reviewer

  • Ann Adams

    The characters feel genuinely real, the emotional stakes are always high, and the relationship between the main pair is believable and gives the story so much heart. It's is a gripping, character-driven thriller that blends survival tension with real emotional depth, with strong pacing and a super satisfying climax.

    —Ann Adams, author of RACING HEARTS

  • Karen Dione

    “Fascinating and terrifying, THE NIGHT HUNTER by Natalie Moss is utterly compelling, a sister story, a survival story, and so much more. Moss’s intimate knowledge of the African landscape and its plant and animal life fairly leaps from every page. The author writes with such assurance, it’s hard to believe this is a debut. I predict that readers will be devouring her stories for decades to come!”

    – Karen Dionne, author of the #1 international bestsellerThe Marsh King’s Daughter and The Wicked Sister

  • Hannah Brennan

    “Relentlessly tense and deliciously twisty - this book transported me to the savannah. Danger lurks on all sides, and once this story gets its teeth into you, it doesn’t let go. Utterly immersive and impossible to put down - The Night Hunter is a blistering debut.”

    — Hannah Brennan, author of NO SAFE PLACE, and NOTHING LEFT BEHIND.

This is what the heart of a safari is: waiting, searching.
