ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 12, 2021

Monster Hunter Helena Graves has her hands full planning her daughter’s 18th birthday and preparing her for the possibility of inheriting Helena’s rather complicated powers.

She doesn’t have time to get dragged into shifter politics. But she can’t sit back and do nothing when the shifters and vampires are on the brink of war, not when her boyfriend Dominick is a vampire, and her best friend Henry is a werelion.

Unfortunately, when a pack of wolves attack Helena, tensions between the two supernatural groups grow even more strained.

When the shifters join forces to turn on Helena and Henry, their lives are left hanging in the balance.

Will help come for them in time, or will the monsters finally get the better of the hunter?

REVIEW: POWER HUNGRY is the second instalment in L. West’s contemporary, adult MONSTER HUNTER FOR HIRE paranormal romance series focusing on club owner/monster hunter for hire Helena Graves. POWER HUNGRY can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as their is a continuing premise throughout.

Told from first person perspective (Helena Graves) POWER HUNGRY follows Helena as she prepares for her daughter’s eighteenth birthday, a birthday that should reveal her daughter’s potential powers but a war is about to be declared between the shifters and the vampire, and our heroine is caught in the middle when she is offered a lucrative contract to kill them all. Not only is Helena’s lover Dom a vampire, but her best friend Henry, is a were lion, and in this, our heroine refuses to kill in the name of speciesism and hate. All is not well in the were shifter community when both Henry and Helena are targeted in a fight to the death but a betrayal finds Helena struggling in her personal life, a life that has quickly spiralled out of control.

POWER HUNGRY is a quick read; a revealing and action packed story of betrayal and vengeance; power and control; secrets and lies; revelations and understanding. Helena Graves is a monster hunter but may very well be a descendant of one of the supernatural races she is hired to kill.

REVIEW: SPOOKSHOW BABY is the third instalment and novella in L. West’s contemporary, adult MONSTER HUNTER FOR HIRE paranormal, romance series focusing on club owner/monster hunter for hire Helena Graves. SPOOKSHOW BABY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of POWER HUNGRY.

Told from first person perspective (Helena Graves) SPOOKSHOW BABY follows our heroine as she must come to terms with the new direction of her life but when several of her friends, and club workers are found dead and apparently sacrificed to Satan, our heroine must return to her roots, and face the man who broke her heart, her daughter’s father Aiden. All does not go well with Aiden, a warlock of immense power, when he refuses to help, once again, pushing Helena out of his life but the number of bodies is increasing, and Helena’s own life is rapidly changing, including the appearance of a mythological creature who claims to be our heroine’s grandfather, and the destroyer of mankind. As Helena, and her intrepid group of supernatural lovers must face down the ultimate demon, said demon may become a permanent fixture in the lives of everyone Helena loves.

SPOOKSHOW BABY reveals a little bit about Helena’s past, the conception of her daughter, and the rejection by the man she continues to love but SPOOKSHOW BABY also reveals the ongoing love of one woman for three men, and the potential future for a polyamorous/ reverse harem relationship, and the growing family from which a demonic entity is claiming paternal rights. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are energetic, powerful and lost to the love of a very special woman.
