The Midnight Hunt by L.L. Raand
3.0
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.
3.4 Stars
