The Midnight Hunt by L.L. Raand
3.0
This is Radclyffe writing as L L Raand and making her foray into the burgeoning Urban Fantasy/Lesfic subgenre. There are quite a few lesfic books out now with more slated to come out this year.
I enjoyed the book ... it was kind of like early Laurel K Hamilton, but knowing Radclyffe, it may go the way of the Anita Blake series and overdose on the hot and heavy (and frequent) sex. Unlike the latter books in the Blake series, Rad always has a pretty solid begining, middle and end and lots of action and plot points - all with lots of strong independant, kick-ass female protaganists. It's nice to have the urban fantasy focus as an alternative to the seemingly standard romance or mystery (which is really a romance with a murder thrown in as a distraction) as the world building tends to be a bit more complex. Compared with mainstream UF, it might not be as strong as alot of what is out there, but if you're looking for lesfic with a different bite, this would be a good read.
