Blood Hunt by L.L. Raand
3.0
Second in Radclyffe's urban fantasy series. Starts right up after Midnight Hunt and the pace doesn't give the reader much time to catch their breathe - lots of action, lots of characters and lots of preternatural sex. As much as I like reading Rad's stuff, I know damn well that she moves things so damned fast that it doesn't give the reader a chance to question some things that either don't make sense or are just beyond the realm of believable. If I remember the timeline, it's been about a week and Drake's gone from a human doctor to a werewolf, to the alpha's mate and then into full blown heat. But if Drake doesn't seem to mind, I'll let it go because it was a good fun read.
Rad's done a good job of setting up the world but the focus is on the Werewolves and Vamps with only a glimpse of a Fae and mention of Psi and Mages. Of course, there is already a large cast of characters, so bringing in more characters may make the series hard to follow. That's one of the things that irks me in her series - the cast of characters tends to get too big and everyone has to make an appearance (or three) in every book. She resovles most of the plot points in the book, leaving a few open for the next book and definitely ending it with a foreshadowing of what dastardly things are going to happen next.
Just hope that this series isn't going to go the way of Laurel K Hamilton's Anita Blake or Merry Gentry series where the plot gets lost admist all the sex.
