Synopsis:
Power, it comes down to this... those who have it, those who want it.
Revenge, the need for it is a fire in the soul, a goad for the unwise.
Hunted, the fate of the foolish when they think to become the hunter.

The Lord of the Midwest is dead, and the powerful vampires of North America are gathering to choose his successor. The Vampire Council will be there to oversee the competition and to keep the violence to a bloody minimum, including Raphael, who will do whatever it takes to ensure the victor is a vampire he can trust. But someone is determined to stop Raphael and his mate, Cyn, from ever reaching Chicago, a hunter who may soon become... the hunted.

Review:
Bridge over troubled waters . . . that's what comes to mind when I think of this Vampires in America novella.  The Who's Who of vampire lords are gathering to oversee the competition for a new Lord of the Midwest territory.  There's unrest & trouble brewing in the air, deceitful deals being brokered, and attempted murder.  Someone is desperate enough to make several attempts to stop Raphael & Cyn from reaching Chicago.  Raphael is just as determined to turn the hunter into the hunted - with his mate Cyn's help, of course.

Hunted may be small in the number of pages, but it is packed cover to cover with suspense, vampire politics, humor, and hot, hold nothing back sex!  Did I mention it is HOT?  Love getting more Raphael & Cyn as they are the foundation of the series for me and in this book, we see them working, playing, & loving side by side.  I also enjoyed watching their interaction with Lucas & Kathryn as well as the girl talk between Cyn & Kathryn.  Aden enters the picture as a contender for the vacated Lord of the Midwest position - oh my - another bad*ss, cocky vampire strutting his stuff.  More please!  Hunted is the perfect vehicle for transitioning from Lucas into Aden - truly a bridge over troubled waters.  Another Page Burner in this awesome series!  A Must Read!

My Rating:  5 Troubled, Hold Nothing Back ♥'s . . . And that's the truth!
