“Someone gave us up to the feds. Dad’s dead.”

“I’m all right. Are you still secure?”

“Yes. What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to take care of the people responsible. I have a list.” Jane watched the trucks streaming out of the parking lot. She shouldn’t have any trouble getting a ride. “What about you?”

“He’s getting ready to launch his first reelection campaign trip, and I’ve got a front seat on the bus.”

“Raand has built a complex world inhabited by werewolves, vampires, and other paranormal beings…Raand has given her readers a complex plot filled with wonderful characters as well as insight into the hierarchy of Sylvan’s pack and vampire clans. There are many plot twists and turns, as well as erotic sex scenes in this riveting novel that keep the pages flying until its satisfying conclusion.”—Just About Write

“Any reader familiar with Radclyffe’s writing will recognize the author’s style within The Midnight Hunt, yet at the same time it is most definitely a new direction. The author delivers an excellent story here, one that is engrossing from the very beginning.

The action moves quickly throughout the book and it’s hard to put down.”—Three Dollar Bill Reviews
