While this is a very old theme, this novel handles it from an intriguing perspective. The trope (actually labeled "The Hunter Becomes the Hunted") is rooted in Greek Mythology, which tells of a literal hunter that becomes a deer by Artemis and gets mauled by his own dogs.

Addie, the female lead in this dark tale, becomes the predator after being prey during the first part of the book. Nevertheless, what's added to this formula is Addie's transformation process after enduring all that physical and mental torture from her groomers. This transformation mirrors what goes on in the human mind after falling victim to human cruelty.

She won't change that much for the better by the story's ending (which we won't spoil for this review). Furthermore, she gets acquainted with Zade, who's not what one would call an upright individual and who comes off as rather "creepy." In a way, he somewhat resembles what Addie became after her traumatic experience, though, ironically, he has some semblance of a redemption arc throughout the series.
