Really loved this book. There's so much going on at once, but I loved every single minute and chapter of this book. I really liked getting to see all the different characters from previous books come together in this one, to merit an epic paranormal speculative adventure. Ever single book in this series is good ,but this is by far the best one. I loved getting to know the new main characters as well as getting to see how the other characters from previous books were handling life as couples. I loved all the action, romance and intrigue in this story. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and family and I look forward to what's next from this author.

I'm a huge Rad fan and once again she does not disappoint. Great plots with lots of twist and turns that will take you for an enjoyable ride at the edge of your seat. Well done!

Thank you, Bold Strokes Books, and NetGalley for this advance ARC copy. 4.5 stars

Primal Hunt, the ninth installment in this amazing series, continues to deliver the goods without faltering. Unlike many long-running series that tend to lose their spark over time, this one remains as captivating as ever. From the first page to the last, I found myself engrossed in a whirlwind of vampiric intrigue, fae politics, and lycanthropic warfare.

The plot is a tapestry of alliances and betrayals, all woven together in a desperate struggle for survival. What keeps me hooked are the relationships, both new and old, blossoming and unraveling amidst the chaos. However, I must warn you, diving into this book without prior knowledge of the series might leave you feeling like you've stumbled into a supernatural maze. It's like tuning into a paranormal TV series midway through its ninth season—engaging, but a bit bewildering without the backstory.

Raand's storytelling prowess shines through once again, pulling me into a world where I could practically feel the tension crackling in the air. The battles are not just physical but emotional, hitting you right in the gut. And let's not forget the steamy scenes that add an extra layer of heat to an already scorching narrative.

I could go on and on about the intricacies of this book, but really, you just have to experience it for yourself. Dive in from the beginning, let the earlier books lay the groundwork for what promises to be an epic journey. Trust me, it's worth it.

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's 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!

Disclaimer: I received an advance reader copy which this review is based on, and I preordered a physical copy.

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.

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 instalments. 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 hate to say it, but this was not what I was expecting. This might be a book you'll enjoy, but it just wasn't for me. I do wish the blurbs of books would include more trope lists or other descriptions to help a reader.

I had not read this author before but I enjoy paranormal romance. I thought this book was middle of the road. I would have appreciated main characters and/or pack alphas and mates and other pairings at the beginning of the book. There were so many characters, it was hard to keep track. It was also personally hard for me to keep track regarding traditionally male names for female characters. If I said that incorrectly, I do apologize. I have read plenty of werewolf and vampire smut in my day, but I feel like they were tangling A LOT. I don't mind that either in most scenarios, but I felt it was written all the same style, so it seemed repetitive. Since I believe this is part of a larger series, I feel like while ok as a standalone, I'm probably missing some character development from other books. Plus it was a shorter book (for me anyway.) Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the ARC.

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. The author spread to story around to check up on them previous couples or characters. I am trying not to spoil anything because it the readers a great surprised of what is going on with this person or couple. Plenty of everything and it was hard to put the book down. Great story and a must read.

Primal Hunt was a steamy and fun to read fantasy installment to L.L. Raand's series. This story is definitely not a standalone and I will highly recommend reading the other books in the series first to be able to fully understand this story. I definitely had to just accept that there were references that I would not understand but I will be going back to read the series and then reread this wonderful installment.

Omg this was HAWT! I absolutely love this series and was not disappointed in another great episode. I absolutely love the interaction between Anya and Rafe. The continued story for Sylvan is well structured and so great to follow. I really hope and cant wait for a lot more in this series.

This was an enjoyable read! Had a lot of characters in it which sometimes is too much for my dyslexic brain, however, I did enjoy the story!! Great plot with lots of twists and turns!

I would recommend this book to my friends and followers on release day!

Thank you Netgalley for providing the arc!

Another installment and what seemed to possibly be final book in series, but who knows. Raand delivers another great addition to this world. The book picks up almost right after the end of the last one.

As usual, Raand catches you up with the characters from the previous books and the threat of Francesca looming closer. Alliances are requested by the fairy queen who has enemies trying to usurp her throne and it's threatening to come into the human world so the Weres and vampires must form an alliance as well to help. The catch is, the Weres must volunteer to provide blood to the vampire's while in Fae land. War is coming and they need to be prepared.

Anya, a young were is paired with Rafe, the senchal to Jodie and a very powerful and old vampire. They both are instantly drawn to the other and it ignites feelings that they both thought were gone, mostly Rafe.

This was pretty quick book to the finale and it was enjoyable, but not my favorite of this series. The war seemed to end pretty easily and Francesca well, I wasn't a fan of it.

Overall, I recommend this book as its what the series has been building up to, but I felt let down by it. I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was, unfortunately, a hard read - not because it was badly written, quite the opposite - it was a hard read because of the plethora of characters. There are dozens of characters, some key to the storyline, others just to add a conversation setting something up, etc. Of course when there are tons of characters, it is often hard to tell them apart. At times, it was hard to tell who were allies and who were enemies or why.

This book is the latest in a series, Midnight Hunters, and it is definitely not a stand alone within the series because the author makes little or no effort to introduce her characters to a reader who hasn’t read the other books in the series and will be lost through the entire book.

If the topic of this book intrigues you, do start with the first book in the series, Midnight Hunt (2010). You will undoubtedly be hooked on the storyline and the characters of the first book, and reading the previous eight books may help you understand the events and characters in this book.

My thanks to Bold Strokes Books and NetGalley for an eARC.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this jaw dropping book

move over anita blake theres a new vampire in town.....

this book has it all... vampires, weres, fae and mages and loads of fighting

a power struggle is about to begin but nobody knows where or when its going to happen but they can sense something alliances are needed to battle whatever is about to come

to help with battle an alliance between vampires and weres are needed, as during battle vampires need strong blood, volunteers are needed to see what would happen between them anya a wolf warrier is paired with rafe an old powerful vampire and its about to get interesting.....

the pairing between these two was for me the best bit, dont get me wrong i loved this book but it was angst between them that draws you in....

cant wait to read more from this series...

The Midnight Hunters series has the prolific Radclyffe writing a fantasy world with Weres, Vampires, and Faes. She is such a good storyteller that you are as lost in this world as you are in the Provincetown and Justice series. The fact that these are wolf weres or cat weres, or whatever, is a side issue as we get caught up in their lives - and loves. These folks like to ‘tangle’ a lot…

The battle scenes are brilliant but you need to have read the earlier books to understand the dynamics of good and evil. And why wouldn’t you want to read the others? Alpha Sylvan Mir and her Prima Drake are the core of all stories as they grow and change as a couple. Drake is the only one who ever sees the Alpha in a vulnerable state and their relationship is lovely. Supportive yet challenging. The books introduce a new central couple each time and Primal Hunt has Anya - a wolf were - linked with Rafe, one of the most powerful vampires. The vampires need to feed if they are injured in battle and Anya volunteers to help Rafe but they find themselves in a partnership involving more than blood and feeding.

Radclyffe/Raand handles the whole complex plot and the various relationships like the expert she is and we are swept up in the jeopardy. Who will survive the revenant beasts that threaten all the inhabitants of Raand’s world? There is angst and anger and anxiety and lots of action. A great series.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Alpha Syvan Muir and her allies are preparing for a battle that might have everyone surviving. I love how each book have a love story we get to see and this time it’s with Anya who we met a little in the beginning she gets a chance to fight by using her strong telepathic abilities she is pair with Rafe one of the most powerful vampire in the world and Rafe is intrigued by her who vow that Anya will come to her willingly. This was such action pack story with love and how you can be different but once you found your place and families anything is possible I love this series I reread multiple times wishing that this series was onscreen I like how the author intertwine every character how you get a glimpse into their lives without overpowering the story you telling.

I have to say that there is not any book by Radclyffe (aka LL Raand) that I have read that I have not thoroughly enjoyed and this one is no exception. We meet again all the main characters from previous Midnight Hunters books. Good read.

As soon as I knew that „Primal Hunt“ was coming out soon, I started reading and listening to all the books and audio in the „Midnight Hunter series“.
It's a complex and beautiful world with lots of incredible and strong characters.
The books should be read in order, so you can understand the story of the battle that
Alpha Sylvan Mir is waging with her Prima Drake and her allies.
Each book has a romance or an additional story that is told and wonderfully portrays the wolves deep need for "mating" and securing the pack and loved one.
This part, and I hope there will be more, is about Anya.
A Timberwolf Were that we met at the beginning of the series, but only briefly.
She is given the honor of finally fighting and using her very strong telepathic abilities.
These are difficult and dangerous times for the pack.
The Allies are Liege Jodie Gates Vampires of Chasseur de Nuit, who also have to rely on the Weres in battle.
And so, another liaison is formed between these two very different Praeterns.
„Rafe“ as "Senechal" of Liege Jody Gates, is one of the most powerful Vampires on earth and her dark yet flaming eyes will not let Anya go!
Anya will feed this Vampire voluntary and she‘ll enjoy it!

As always, it is full of wild fights, but also sensual and tender moments that fills them with fear but also devotion.
It is also very hot and the Praeterns do not miss the opportunity to strengthen their power and bonds through love for each other wherever and whenever they can!
Brilliantly written, as always!
I thank L.L. Raand and of course NetGalley and Bold Stroke Books for this ARC!

Alpha Syvan Muir, her mate Prima Drake, their wolf pack as well as the vampires, cat pack and Fae are about to take part in a battle for all.
Gates that previously were to be used for magical transportation have been activated and are unleashing the walking dead to over throw them all.
They must all work together to stop them which means they must trust each other. After centuries as enemies it’s not easy.
The battle will be intense as their bloodlust.
This is the 9th installment to The Midnight Hunters series and if you haven’t read any of the others I would suggest that you start at the beginning to follow this incredible series.
We waited along time for this one and it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this series and author.

Thank you #NetGalley #BoldStrokesBooks #PrimalHunt #MidnightHunters for this ARC
