The Lone Hunt (Midnight Hunters Book 4)

When I bought the first in this series I wasn't sure if I'd like the strory line; but four books in and I still can't get enough. I ordered the The Lone Hunt in November and had to wait months before it was even due to be released as the time approached I got more excited at the prospect of reading the new issue. I wanted to know what happened with Drake and Sylvan and their young. How the relationship between Nicki and Sophie faired and how Lara was coping with the changes in her life. I wasn't disappoited in the least. Radclyffe writing as L L Raand takes us into a world inhabited with humans, Wares, Vampires and other species. In the Lone Hunt we are introduced to a new character, Raina who earns her place amonst the heroines.I couldn't help it I read the book at break neck speed; but am in the process of reading it again much slower this time and enjoying the story line and letting the words flow and the images in my head come to the forth.Bring on the next instalment....

The Lone Hunt is the fourth in L.L. Raand's Midnight Hunters series and is the best yet. Given that I have awarded five out of five stars to the previous books, that's an impressive feat.The story itself picks up just hours after the explosive finale of the preceding Night Hunt as the forces arrayed against Sylvan Mir and her Timberwolf pack seem to act with impunity whilst she tries to pursue acceptance for the praeterns through due process.After events in previous books, Lara is struggling to find her new place in the praetern world. Raina, on the other hand knows where her loyalties lie; as alpha of the Catamount were cats, to her cubs and her pride even though she is on the run from them which brings her into Timberwolf territory and into the path of Lara.We've met were cats before but usually only briefly as enforcers for the bad guys. It's explained why that happens and how it leads Raina to run into a situation that normally results in a were cat's death. I like Raina a lot. Unlike Lara who is believably torn between her old world and her new one, Raina's only thought is escape and the survival of her cubs.There is something that can't be defined about Lara and Raina's relationship that I enjoyed more than the others to date. Perhaps it was the fact that Raina gave Lara an anchor that she'd lost. And the fact that even though she is an alpha, she seems less bull headed than both Sylvan and Jody. However, that could well be because of the situation that she's in.Whilst that was the main relationship, things also progress in Francesca's vampire seethe with Michel and Katya and Luce and Dr. Veronica Standish. Michel and Katya's relationship, whilst more honest in that Michel isn't compelling the young wolf is still somewhat clandestine because Michel is trying to hide its importance to her from her viceregal. However, Dr. Veronica Standish and her fixation on Luce, her vampire bodyguard isn't what it seems and give the doctor's previous behaviour...good!Of course, a large portion is also devoted to Sylvan and Drake and Drake's pregnancy. All I'm going to say on this is that the ending, whilst not a cliff hanger is certainly a nail biter with a twist. As for whether the twist is for better or for worse...I won't spoil that.Unfortunately, The Lone Hunt has only recently been published at time of writing which means a long wait for the hoped next in the series.

I definitely recommend this series. It is quite expensive to buy each book but well worth the money. Wolf Weres, Vampires and so many lesbian romance going on, you won't be bored. I like Drake over the other females especially Niki, that wolf grates on me.

What can I say? Another instalment of the Midnight Hunters and just WOW!! It just keeps getting better and better. It's an extremely exciting and interesting story. It's compelling and very addictive. It has everything from love and friendship to war and adversaries. It's very well written and in my honest opinion very well written. You can see everything. Your imagination is compelled to participate through the authors descriptions and passion. I love it and now of to read number five.

LL Raand aka Radclyffe knows how to tell a story and develop excellent characters who can sustain a series and this is right up there with the Justice, Honor and Provincetown books series. The plot is complex but you soon get into it and the way the "inner wolf" is described becomes credible..... I don't know if I believe in the Midnight Hunters bloodlust (!?) but I do think Radclyffe engenders some kind of book lust - I just hope she keeps writing!
