From the USA Today bestselling author-a two-in-one volume of her extraordinary shapeshifting romances, Hunting Midnight and "The Night Owl."

4.0 out of 5 stars reprints of two fine paranormal romances, January 5, 2007

"Hunting Midnight". They roamed the Scottish forests for centuries until 1370. Ulric, leader of the pack of upyr shapeshifters, is irate that the female he should be protecting, Gillian selected someone else to be her mate. An angry Ulric leaves the safety of the forest and his pack to wander the streets of Bridesmere to see what the excitement of humans is to Gillian. Ulric sees Juliana Batoc as she flees from an arranged betrothal, but instead of his usual taste for human blood, he feels a need to keep her safe due to some weird attraction. He agrees to help her, but soon she knows his deepest secrets and demands he bring her over as he has done with her virginity. He wants nothing more, but first she must meet the pack who must accept her as one of them though one of his members prepares to cause trouble through the human female.

"The Night Owl". In Vermont pastry chef Mariann likes her rustic life though she is concerned about the new owners of the Night Owl Bed and Breakfast that includes her bakery. New B&B owner French vampire Bastien realizes that Mariann is his lifemate, but fears rejection.

This two tale supernatural romance book consists of reprints of a terrific novel (HUNTING MIDNIGHT) and a wonderful novella (THE NIGHT OWL) from the HOT BLOODED anthology. Though this reviewer is not sure why these two were combined especially since the novel CATCHING MIDNIGHT is the predecessor of the longer story, both entries contain strong lead star-crossed lovers who are unacceptable by their respective lovers'species. This makes for two fine paranormal romances.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tired of false advertising, August 20, 2009

By 

A Customer (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heat of the Night (Berkley Sensation) (Mass Market Paperback)

Once again, I thought I was getting a NEW book, and it ended up being two things I had already read before, Hunting Midnight, book 2 of the upyr series (not book 1, Catching Midnight, when it might have made sense to combine THEM in this trade paperback formatted book) and the novella in the Hot Blooded anthology, The Night Owl.
Be warned-if you have already read one or the other, this is a waste of money, and if you have not, well, most likely you can find each book a lot cheaper individually than the full price of this book, or even the discounted one, and with Hot Blooded you would get the stories by Feehan and the other authors as well, always a treat.
Am really tired of publishers pulling a fast one like this. New title and cover, but same old content. And it is not like Holly is not prolific enough to keep churning them out, that they need to look for something new to sell! Grr.
