Primal Hunt

By L.L. Raand

Midnight Hunters | Book 9

When power struggles between the Queen of Faerie, those who seek to usurp her throne, and a deposed Vampire Queen threaten to spill into the Human realm—and that of the Weres and Vampires—wolf Alpha Sylvan Mir calls for a War Council. A coalition is forged between Liege Jody Gates’s Vampires, the Snowcrest wolf Weres, the mountain cat Weres, and Sylvan’s Timberwolves to take the battle to the enemy in Faerie. But before war can be waged, another alliance is needed—the wolf Weres must agree to provide blood for their Vampire comrades once inside Faerie.

Anya, a young wolf warrior, finds herself paired with Rafe, one of the most powerful Vampires in the Americas, in an erotic union of blood and sex that ignites her primal instincts in a way she never imagined.

A world of violent passions and inhuman hungers explodes as ancient taboos and primal desires collide.

The Midnight Hunt

By L.L. Raand and Others

Midnight Hunters | Book 1

Medic Drake McKennan has never been good at following protocol, so she doesn't think twice about rendering emergency care when a young girl's life is at stake—even if the girl is in the throes of Were fever and any sane human should know better. It isn't the bright shining pain of the bite or even the wrenching agonies of the fever that convinces her everything in her life has changed. It's the way she feels about the blonde with the wolf-gold eyes leaning over her hospital bed when she finally wakes up. Sylvan, the Alpha of the Adirondack Timberwolf Pack—the one female Drake can't have. And the only one she wants.

- One of the best sapphic speculative romance series out there

- The Midnight Hunters series is one of the best sapphic speculative romance series out there and if you haven't read the other books in the series, I would recommend reading those before diving into Primal Hunt.
  
  Rannd skillfully handles the number of characters in "Primal Hunt", especially considering the diverse hierarchy and species involved, and I easily kept track of everyone. Catching up with beloved characters from previous books deepened my connection to the story. The strong bonds and palpable chemistry between characters like Sylvan and Drake, Jody and Becca, and Nikki and Sophia added layers of depth and emotion to the narrative.
  
  The dynamic between Anya and Rafe is incredibly intriguing! The initial sparks and antagonistic banter between them create such tension and anticipation. Their connection defies expectations, especially considering their backgrounds and the initial lack of connection with their previous partners. Their interactions evolve throughout the story and allow for more intimate connections. Their swift and all-consuming relationship is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions and intensity which I thoroughly enjoyed!
  
  Primal Hunt is a thrilling addition to the Midnight Hunters series, keeping readers on the edge of their seats with its gripping storyline and dynamic character interactions. The mix of familiar faces and fresh personalities adds depth to the narrative, while the impending battle amps up the tension and drama, testing the bonds of loyalty and trust among the characters. The pairing of Rafe and Anya is captivating and dynamic. Their differing viewpoints and tension create a compelling blend of entertainment and sensuality adding an extra layer of excitement and passion. I highly recommend this book for fans of the series and newcomers alike!

- Raand has created a world that is full of love, friendship, lust, trust and power.

- I’ve waited so long for this book, and Raand has NOT disappointed! This was my first paranormal series that I ever read when it first came out and I’ve been eagerly devouring every book as soon as they release ever since!
  
  Once again, we’re thrown into the sensual, erotic and lustrous world of the Timberwolf Pack and paranormal creatures that Raand’s so masterfully crafted—and this time with the added adrenaline of war! I thoroughly enjoyed the added thrill of the battles both in Pack lands and Faerie. It was a wonderful addition…and there is something about how it ended that makes me think it’s not as over as we think it is. And I couldn’t be more excited!
  
  As always, the love and bonds between the characters were the highlight for me and it was wonderful to see some new relationships/bonds forming (this time with Anya & Rafe). Sylvan & Drake, along with Niki & Sophia, will always hold special places in my heart and I adored their interactions in this book as well as the building unknown about Sylvan & Drake’s young’s future place within the pack—it’s both exciting and nerve wracking and I can’t wait to see where that goes!
  
  This is the 9th book in the series and I loved it just as much as I have loved all the previous installments. Raand has created a world that is full of love, friendship, lust, trust and power. The world itself and the characters are all wonderfully connected and a joy to read. And then add in spice that’s absolutely dripping with eroticism and primal need, and you’ve got a fantastic paranormal romance series brimmed with queer inclusion.
  
  If you haven’t read this series yet, then I would highly recommend giving it a read! It’s one of my favourite series, that’s for sure! And ‘Primal Hunt’ is a fantastic new addition! 5/5 stars!

- I was SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK having just reread the whole series (for the 15th?) time. I've been a Rad fan for a very long time but this series is special. The characters are so vibrant, sexy, and the world-building is detailed and interesting. The pace is tight and you will not be able to put the series down.
  
  Primal Hunt collects all the characters from the previous novels and throws all of them into the frenzy at once. I felt like a kid in a candy shop at times because it was just so much fun and so much was happening AND I KNOW THOSE CHARACTERS and I was flipping pages with a big grin, excited to see what would happen next.
  
  No spoilers, go read it yourself. You will not be disappointed.

- A great addition to the series. I think you got to have a cheat code to remember the characters in the whole series. Because Anya got introduced in the first book and Rafe in the third book...Plenty of everything and it was hard to put the book down. Great story and a must read.
