The Midnight Hunt by L.L. RaandMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well that was . . . odd.
Interesting to see a shifter critter that 'allows' females to have power and stuff. A lot of them go in the 'women are bitches' direction. To a certain extent. I've attempted to steer clear of those types of books, so I only really have one example of that - Dead in the Water - in which the women are expected to fuck on demand. And while sex is important in this story (super super important), people still have 'power' to say yes or no.
Good grief the amount of sex and sexual tension running through this book. People were constantly on edge, with super hard engorged clits. Those would be the werewolves. The vampires? Feed off of sex (and blood) themselves so . . . they are also super focused on sex.
Three main 'zones' of POV. Werewolf story line (which included Sylvan (wolf) & Drake (the human medic); Vampire story line (which included Becca (human) and Jody (Vampire); and 'rogue' story line (which focused mostly on 'Rex'.
There was an actual story here, though it's kind of thinish. And it made a certain amount of sense. But . . . I found the Becca/Jody story line to be an intrusion that I mostly didn't need. The things that they brought to the story could have been 'brought' by someone else. (I don't actually recall that they brought anything really, since there was something of a parallel investigation going on - wolves investigating, vampires investigating). To a large extent, Jody and Becca seemed to be there to add another couple who were extremely incapable of allowing themselves to admit that they 'wanted' the other (mostly on Becca's side). *shrugs*
Not sure I'll read the next book in the series. Maybe. Perhaps.
Re: Narrator - narrator was good for this type of story in that she had a kind of angry, intense, on the edge of erupting kind of vibe going on, which fit the story.
Rating: . . . how the heck do I rate this book? um . . . 3 . . . . something. 3.45?
