Midnight Hunters #2
Blood Hunt
Sylvan, the Wolf Were Alpha, forges an uneasy alliance with Vampire Detective Jody Gates, heir to a powerful Vampire clan, to battle a shadow army of humans and rogue Praeterns bent on destroying any hope of legal acceptance of the non-human species. With outside forces threatening to destroy the Praetern Coalition, several female Were adolescents turn up missing and chaos descends upon Sylvan's personal guards when Sylvan and her new mate are overtaken by breeding frenzy. While Sylvan struggles to protect her Pack, Jody fights her destiny as well as her growing hunger for human reporter, Becca Land.

This is the 2nd book in the Midnight Hunters series. Be sure to read Book 1 first! In Book 1, we learned that werewolves are violent and are often consumed by “sex frenzy”. In Book 2, we learn that Book 1 was just a gentle warmup.
As amazing as it is, it turns out that “sex frenzy”, and even the lust between newly mated pairs, are nothing…really NOTHING…compared to “breeding frenzy” or vampire lust. Just as you’re thinking, once again, “get a room already”, Raand/Radclyffe reminds you that weres and vampires don’t really have any concerns about public displays of graphic sex.
The violence also ramps up, becoming at the same time more subtle, more intense and more disturbing. Instead of tooth and claw violence, the violence becomes more psychological...more power domination…more…personal. The scenes with the captured were females were disturbingly realistic, perhaps because the jailers were human, and human-on-human violence in the real world is so real that we are more able to identify with the suffering of the fictional non-human captives.
Vampires lend themselves easily to domination and submission themes, and this book explores both physical and psychological aspects amazingly well. We experience characters who are conflicted with their roles, and characters who are very much not conflicted.
Sylvan and Drake continue to play a prominent role, but the story of Jody the vampire and Becca the human is often at the center of this book. Listening to their story unfold is much more nuanced, tender and gratifying. Sylvan and Drake are very cartoony in their lustful, we are soul mates destined to be together, depiction. Jody and Becca have as good of reasons to fight their attraction as any two women in lesfic, many more reasons than most, yet their thoughts of, and for, each other are sweet and their eventual love is believable and wonderful.
Other characters continue to develop in Book 2 as well, with further emphasis on the psychological. Lara, after saving Sylvan’s life at the end of Book 1, is now in turmoil – she knew who she was as a wolf, who and what is she as a vampire? Is she still a wolf? Niki has loved Sylvan all her life. What is her role in Sylvan’s life now that Sylvan is mated to Drake? Can being her guard be enough? And sensual pleasures are becoming more complicated for her after she fed Jody to save her life, and then later feeds Lara. Yet, her attraction to medic Sophie continues to confuse her, as does Sophie’s mixed messages of attraction to Niki.
Vampires Francesca and her #2, Michelle, also develop as complex characters, with physical and psychological passions on full display, yet also clearly withholding secrets. Ahhh….so many intertwined mysteries!
Book 1 was a grand adventure into a well crafted world. Book 2 is an even better adventure because of the increasing complexities. I like that the book expanded the roles of so many characters while continuing the story of Sylvan and Drake. Book 2 continues, btw, immediately after Book 1 ends, which is kind of cool. Many books pick up weeks, months or years later, and struggle to fill what happened between books while at the same time telling a new story. This simply picks up on where we left off.
5*, in case you hadn’t guessed where this review was going! Narrator Maxine Mitchell continues to deliver a first-rate performance!

The saga continues....
At an exhilarating pace. Radclyffe keeps us guessing as to what happens next and with each page turned the plot thickens. The saga is one of the best I have ever read. It has everything and more. Drama, passion, loyalty, intrigue and friendship. I love it now off to read number three.

This one might be even better than the first. I am truly in awe of an author who has this imagination AND the ability to put it on the printed page. I love the complex characters and the fact that they are reached in some way or another by love. What can I say? I'm a sucker for love stories.

April 22, 2023If you read it for what it is, an erotic paranormal romance, it's not bad. Radclyffe a.k.a. L.L. Raand really knows how to write erotica. But other than going through mating fever, there's not much relationship development between the werewolf couple.

I don't know how to rate this book. I'm giving it a 4 because I somewhat enjoyed the ride and also have recommended it as an entertainment source to at least one other person. Does that mean it's a good book? Questionable. Two books in to the series and the Were physiology and science is...questionable. Maybe that means it's more scientifically sound? I don't know.
The author has created a lot of interesting characters that clearly have depth. I would like to spend more time with a few of the characters and honestly less time with the Alpha but that's just a personal preference thing I think. I liked some features of this book. Letting us see who the "bad" guys are is a great difference from so many other urban fantasy type books I've read in the past who keep their villains hidden in shadows.
There do seem to be some inconsistencies in the characters. Sylvan for one. I don't understand how she is a politician AT ALL. She has no control over herself for anything.
Also, the progression of the book is quite predictable and telegraphed really obviously throughout the story. It makes for a quick and moderately entertaining read but not terribly exciting.

This series reminds me of a low to mid-budget sci-fi series from the early 2000s. Book 1 felt like season 1, where you get to know everyone and the protagonists are mostly winning. This book certainly had that season 2 shift, where the gloss is starting to rub away from the characters and you realize they are in deep.
There are certainly some bumps with some of the inconsistencies between statements in some of the books as well as general urban fantasy sleaziness. Unfortunately, there were "sexy" parts with the villains that were used to underscore their evil. This certainly increased the discomfort compared to book 1 as it did include sex used as a tool to gain power and non-consent. As well, the werewolf scenes had more of that classic possessive nature that can get tiresome.
I would recommend this book to anyone familiar with the problematic way urban/paranormal fantasy can go. Also might be of interest to anyone who read the first book and would like to continue with the characters as it certainly answers some of the questions from book 1 and builds on the overarching narrative.

I was pretty disappointed with this continuation. For one thing, the pacing is much too fast. The events of books 1 and 2 take place over like, a week. And Drake is perfectly fine with her sudden transformation and falling in love with the leader of a werewolf pack. You'd think there'd be a bit of a learning curve.
Another thing, both Becca and Jody saw Drake when she was human but act completely normal when they see her again as a Were. Did I just miss something or am I right, they had absolutely no reaction to that. She would seem different, wouldn't she?
I also feel like Sophia acts completely differently in this book than she did in the last. In the last book there was some sexual tension between Niki and Sophia, but nothing really overt. Sophia wasn't looking. But at the beginning of this book she's all of the sudden throwing herself at Niki? It doesn't feel right, even if the Alpha is in breeding frenzy.
Jody and Becca's relationship is just as baffling as everything else. They've known each other literally a week! Why does Radclyffe have everyone fall in love so quickly?
Also, why is no one that worried about their jobs? Drake's an ER doctor, and she even says she can't continue with that, but we never see her talking to her boss or anything. Sophia talked to them when Drake got turned last book, but I don't think anyone has talked to them since. Does Becca have a boss? She works at a newspaper, right? She must have someone hounding her about deadlines, or at least checking on her progress. Except she doesn't! We do know that Jody's boss doesn't care about her showing up, but she has to quit it in the end anyway.
I've already talked about how unlikely I think all this hate toward praeterns is in upstate New York, but I think it's even less likely in Vermont. How the hell can you have that giant freaking lab outside Bennington without Vermont legislators knowing of it? You can't! And the Vermonters wouldn't like it!
I feel like the dialogue in this one is very different from the first one. Why is no one using contractions? Why do they keep calling each other Vampire and Wolf? Basically, why does everyone sound like this is high fantasy? I don't remember this in the last book. It would make sense for the older Vampires and Weres to speak like that, but why does Becca sound like that? Drake? Does turning into a Werewolf change your speech pattern?
Vampires in this book seem more fragile than they did last book. In the last book Jody could go outside and only suffer from a headache and maybe a sunburn. But now Preanimates get can't stay in the sun for long at all, and they feel compelled to sleep during the day too all of the sudden. Why? I thought the whole idea was that they weren't as susceptible as the Risen.
We still learn nothing about Fae, Mages, and Psi.
And finally, why, WHY is everyone having sex all the damn time? I like reading it as much as anyone, but it's tiring to read virtually the same sex scenes over and over again. I get that Weres have sex a lot, but can't you fade to black or something? Or at least switch it up a bit.
As for things I liked, Gray, Katya, and Michel are interesting characters. I hope they don't all fall in love in 4 days and start acting like giant saps afterward. That would be annoying.
Despite all this I'm still going to read the next one. I have nothing better to read right now, so why not. Maybe it'll get better. Maybe I'll tear my hair out.

Wolf weres, Vampires, Sex... oh my
I'll keep this brief since I already left a lengthy review for the first book and for the fact that this is a large series.
This story continued on with Alpha Sylvan and her new mate, Drake, as well as, Vampire Jody Gates and her destined mate, Becca. The Were clan and Vampire's team up to find the missing female Were's in this story. There was a lot of tension and cliffhanging chapters that only hindered on my everyday life because I couldn't put the damn book down. I wouldn't label this book as an action shapeshifter story, I would call it more of a dark erotic/action paranormal. These stories have a lot of sex, and I mean a lot. However, L.L. Raand specified from the beginning that Were's mate, and feverishly, might I add, a lot. It's natural in their DNA to do so, because deep down they are animals and animals have that natural calling or urge or whatever you want to call it to produce offspring. As for the Vamps, well, again, it's stated right from the beginning that when they feed, sex pairs nicely with feeding, complementing both acts. There was also a ton of side characters, which meant many names to remember, and Raand brilliantly wrote this story that I never once struggled to remember who was who. I have a love/hate thing towards Becca, the mortal journalist. She was stubborn as ever, if not more, which grated my nerves at times, but her stubbornness also came in handy whenever shit hit the fan. She also wielded that power, which, by the way, was her only power in the presence of Were's and Vamps, to save her soulmates' life. I gotta admit, I was teetering on the edge of hysterical when I thought we were going to lose a vital player. We also met a new Vamp, a sexy androgynous creature named Michel. At first I thought she was just a playmate for Francesca lingering in the background, but as the story progressed, her role heightened and we learned more and more about her. I'm hoping we see her again in the next book(s).
This book ended on a high with a bittersweet taste. HEA, but only temporarily since Raand showed us what was in store for the Were's and Vamps.

This is the second book in the Midnight Hunters series. I loved Becca and Jodie’s relationship and enjoyed the progression of it. Often folks are looking for either vampire or werewolf f/f, but fortunately this series has a 50/50 of both throughout the books.
As stated in my previous review:
Radclyffe does not disappoint on the erotica tag at all. I was a bit concerned with the insta-love vibe, but it definitely coincides with the fact that the Weres are able to sense their true mate. I am such a sucker for books where there are possessive and jealous love interests. This hits that right on the dot.
TW: There are explicit M/F scenes (hardly any but still). There is also physical and psychological abuse to some characters. It is mild. It’s not g!p necessarily… but please read other reviews for a more in depth explanation.
I reread this series every halloween and cannot recommend it enough. H to the o to the t.
➢Happy reading!

The story of the Midnight Hunters continues in Blood Hunt and does not disappoint. If anything, the pace picks up as Jodi and her vampires join forces with Sylvan's Wolf Weres to find out who is kidnapping Were females for experimentation. While the war -- and several romantic pairings -- remain unresolved, you still feel a sense of relief when the battle at hand is won, and a sense of anticipation as one of the main characters (naming her would spoil it) comes into her full powers. Can't wait for the next installment.

Still a lot happening in this second book. It is absolutely a page turner. I notice that I’m less critical about this book because I become to love the setting, the characters and storyline.
An exiting read with feral sex scenes, loved it.

4/5 — Listened on audiobook. I quite enjoyed this one. Definitely sexy but also the characters are emerging a bit more. I found myself caring about them and hoping for them. And the story is developing as well. Listened on audiobook.

(CW: Explicit talk of sex and body parts)
This is really a shame. The first book was plot forward, and the buildup to the weird kinky sex was great. This.... man, it felt like a chore to get through it. 288 pages is not long but it felt much longer because the plot (what there is of it) isn't that bad. I just wish it dialed back on the sex to let the reader breathe. 2 stars

So.... this book is ok as a guilty pleasure if you are into that sort of thing. And frankly I don't really care if the love interests are MF, FF, MF or some other variation. What I want is a good story. There IS a story here, but it is buried under repetitive sex scenes and internal thoughts.
I think the main issue with this book/series is that it is 1 part story to 5 parts repetitive sex scenes. While if you like sex scenes, that isn't really a bad thing, but these feel pretty generic. If you want to read this series for the sex, I am sure you will get better scenes from some of the erotic story sites. If you are reading this for the story then you are wading through a lot of fluff. Not really ideal.
In this volume, Becca and Jody do the same dance that Sylvan and Drake did in the previous book. You know the "gonna deny the attraction and besides they aren't interested" dance? Yep, that one. The same one we are going to see repeated with several others that have already been foreshadowed. Including a "twist" for Michelle at the end of this novel.
Since I already know what will happen in the next several novel, I see little reason to actually read them. Time to go for something else.

Better than the first book. I enjoyed this book. There seemed to be more of the good vs. evil going on, but the Vampires are still not on my hit list. They seem sly and untrustworthy, especially Francesca. I liked the interaction between Becca and Tory, even though I don't like them as people. Becca seems shallow and narrowly driven to the point of being selfish. I hated the way Tory treated Lara, like property, once she had turned. On the whole I hated what happened to Lara, in general. Niki, Niki I felt sorry for. She was always Sylvans second, and now with Drake being mated to Sylvan, she is lost. Then the whole blood thing with Niki, Lara and Tory, I don't know. I feel like Niki is being tossed aside, and it really bothers me. Of course I love what's happening between Sylvan and Drake. Although the book made me angry in so many ways, I couldn't put it down. I only hope that things turn around for Niki, although from the description it seems she's in for more trials.
Thinking I'm going to give this series a rest, take on a simple romance. Homestead looks good.

It just keeps getting better and better…
I am so in love with two “beings.” Jody and Sylvan. I am so jealous of Becca and Drake. This type and kind of love is all consuming and the best kind there is to aspire to. Once again Sylvan finds herself in the midst of a war and doing battle. I cannot wait to find out who is truly behind all of this. But rest assured that Sylvan will find out and do whatever is necessary to protect the pack and her pack mate. The ending of this book tells me what is going to happen next and I am worried about ANYONE that thinks they will escape what Sylvan will do to them or even survive.
This installment in the series also showcases the Vampire Francesca that we briefly met in the first book. Something tells me to be very leery of her. I am also wondering where Michel, her second will fall in this as well. She had an experience in the lab that has me wondering WHAT exactly happened. She made a comment that I have heard only one other vampire make. I am wondering if it means something “more?”

Fantasy-driven story was confusing but saved by the ending
The second book in this series continues the mystery of the conspiracy to feed humanity & Pratereans with distrust, fear & evil to justify the violence & hatred necessary for the eradication of the minorities' existence in order to preserve the weaker majority's survival in power.
The sexuality in this book is overwhelming & does more to confuse & distract than to advance or enhance the narrative to me. Despite that fact, the finale definitely got back on track & finished in a flourish of magical storytelling.
Hopefully the next book will be more storyline less supernatural sex. (Can't believe I even think that so its gotta be true!!)
The second book in this series continues the mystery of the conspiracy to feed humanity & Pratereans with distrust, fear & evil to justify the violence & hatred necessary for the eradication of the minorities' existence in order to preserve the weaker majority's survival in power.

I was really looking forward to this book but there was very little going on beside sex. In just about every chapter there is a sex scene. I'm not against that but I was hoping for a bit more story. Not much happened and they find the missing girls who were being experimented on very quickly at the end which kind of sucked. I wish there was more of hunt. I'm going to give book 3 and 4 a try because I already bought them. But if they don't end up with more story I might call this series quits. This one focused a bit more on Jodi and Becca. I'm looking forward to seeing how Nikki and Sophia overcome their distance.

So crazy but also so fun. I continue to love Drake and Sylvan together. Becca and Jodie are two of my favorite characters so I loved their romance and actually wanted more of it. The villain introduced in this book is satisfyingly terrible. But I would have liked this book a lot better if there hadn’t been extensive scenes of torture and sexual assault. Serious trigger warning for those things. Still really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the next one, even though I don’t like Nikki.

This is a great second book in the series. I loved seeing the relationship progression of Drake and Sylvan. I loved the interactions between Becca and Jodi, and I loved reading more about their relationship. I also enjoyed the different side of Nikki and I am looking forward to reading more about her growth. It was interesting that the whole book took place over just a few days. Overall, solid continuation of the series and I cannot wait to read the next book.

Too much sex?
I wonder how these supernaturals get anything done when their need for sex is constant. The reasoning makes sense but probably half the book is about sex. Even so, there is a lot that happens and with multiple perspectives taking place as well, this is a complex story. I think my favorite part was seeing Jody and Becca's relatonship blossom.

Wow!
The author has really done some major studies of the inner workings of the human body. Or a great teacher. Continuing on from her first book our hero wolf sets out to recapture two female wolves. The joint venture of having two adversaries working for the same goal cause who knows maybe whoever took the two females may turn on them also. Enjoy!

Firstly, make sure you read the first book. Secondly, who knew breeding frenzy could be so insanely hot! This book opens up the vampire world a little more while book 1 focuses more on the werewolves. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this author has created an amazing world for those who like fantasy and escape.

A continuation of The Midnight Hunt. You're definitely going to need to read it first. I found myself more interested in the vampire romance in this one than the ware stories but I do like a good vampire story so that may be why. An enjoyable read for anyone looking for a different genre.

I love the series story arc. Unfortunately, the story was hidden for about half the book due to sex scenes. That would have been ok if it contributed to the story, but it was more PWP. The storyline will keep me interested in reading the next book which hopefully will have more plot.

Very good sequel
I was worried the sequel would be disappointing. Totally not the case. Blood Hunt picks right up where the Midnight Hunt left off. Now it's time to read Night Hunt.

The first in a series is often the peak, that grabs, the second often levels out. But not this series Raands brilliant descriptive story building keeps you gripped in this great sequel. I loved how this follows directly from the first, and following the characters grow and change. Highly recommend.
