I actually really enjoyed this book, the sex was hot and I loved the so many of the concepts. I like Were's being able to reproduce with either gender, and I liked the mix of sex and aggression of the Were's. I think the only problems I had with this book were that the POV jumped around and it was hard sometimes to tell which character's brain we were riding in. I also felt like there were too many romantic story lines happening all at once. However since it's apparently the first in a series I guess I can understand why.
Still, I enjoyed it and found myself drawn in by the plot. I'm definitely going to pick up the next book in the series.

When I picked this up I was just looking another werewolf book but this one was slightly different. There were lots of obstacles setup to be overcome in future books. I look forward to future books. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. The last chapter got incredibly cheesy.

A ridiculous good time. Some of the descriptions are utterly absurd but I love them.

Very weird but also very enjoyable. I don’t read many paranormal romances but this series may change that. It’s extremely smutty and at times the sex scenes get weird. But I really liked the characters, especially Drake, and I thought the central romance was strong. I’m excited to read the rest of the series!

For my first fallback Friday read in 2020 I wanted to try me some L.L. Raand (you know, Radclyffe when she does her supernatural thing). I’m not a real fan of all the fangs-and-fur type sagas, but just for fun I went for the first of the 7-part Midnight Hunters series, named The Midnight Hunt (published in 2010).
Jeez, I hope I never get bit because being a werewolf sure is no picnic. All these dying urges to mate (and not just with anyone you want), painful shifts, and if you dare to give a dominant wolf one wrong look they are at your throat. Literally. Everybody is horny as hell and in true Radclyffe… I mean Raand style the clits are rock hard and standing proud. There is a bucket load of aggressive sexual tension and uncomfortable arousal levels throughout the whole book and it makes for an intense read.
I found the living vampire character Jody Gates (we will see more of her in book 2) had more pull with me than the knife-sharp Alpha Sylvan who was snarling at the drop of a hat. Human doctor Drake clearly draws the short stick here when she gets promoted to shifter status. It is clear you will have to read on because part one ends rather abrupt and not all is resolved.
I’m sure most wolf fans already have read this series five times over, but in case you’ve missed it I would give it a go. I will read on for now because now I’m hooked and want to find out more about this universe.
f/f intense mating frenzy (biting is expected)
Themes: the Adirondack Timberlake Pack, Alpha, Prima, were fever, shifting is not for the weak, controlling your inner wolf, sudden ending.

I didn’t get it. How can this be so popular when it is SOOOOOO problematic?? Too many things to list but this biggest one is the heteronormative sex. No thanks.

Okay, I really don't like shifters (or vampires). I have failed to read several shifter books recently. I finished this one, though, which is an endorsement of Raand/Radcliffe's writing, and I'll def be getting more of her stuff (amazed this is the first of her I've read), but not shifters. Or indeed vampires.
That said, if you like shifters I imagine this would be cracktastic. Very hot, nice romance if you like 'mates' stuff, lots of werewolfy stuff, very convincingly done, vivd, wolf bits used well, lots of set-up for future books which I would think would be a joy if you liked shifters, which I may have mentioned I don't. Serious problems with POV shifting [pause, side eye], but otherwise well written.
