Severus has dealt with being at the bottom of social hierarchy all his long life. His kind, incubus, are considered lowly leeches at the best. Tired of all the scorn he decided to live among humans and obtain his sustenance from them. He lives his life as an escort, a perfect front for his true nature. In his line of work he he seen many unusual creatures but his entire lifetime couldn’t have prepared him for Moira.
The past year has meant drastic changes for Moira. Everything about her is different. So much so that she can’t bear to look herself in a mirror because the creature looking back isn’t her. It can’t be. Plagued with questions and unable to find answers, she just assumes that she has the same mysterious disease that took away her mother. She couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Fate brings these two unlikely beings together and they share no similarities. Still the demon inside Severus longs to be near Moira and she can’t seem to stop thinking about him. Together they try to seek out answers unaware that a higher power is out to hunt them.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS BOOK, Y’ALL!!!! I am so stumped and honestly didn’t see this story coming. It is without a doubt one of THE BEST paranormal romance I’ve ever read and SHIT IS JUST GETTING STARTED.
Moira intrigued me and man I can just feel that her story arc is going to be epically amazing. I am so here for this soon to be a badass heroine and honestly I am just waiting for her to kill some worthless creatures. GIVE MAMA DEATH!!!!!
Severus is my most favourite demon and I know I said it like it’s real but humor me I AM IN LOVE!!!!! An escort who also is an incubus and doesn’t really want to kill humans? Can he just please love me back?? I am so pumped to see more of his dirty talker side because who wouldn’t want that?
Liz Meldon is just a master of whatever she writes and I KNOW she can write anything she sets her mind too. Basically, she is either a magical being or an evil mastermind but we’ll figure out soon I reckon. Eagerly awaiting the next part of this gorgeous series!!!
5 Stars!

Synopsis:
BLACK SOUL, SUFFOCATING IN SILENCE
Severus: demon, incubus, escort–leech. After centuries of scorn from his own kind in the underworld, Severus went topside and settled amongst the secret demon community in Farrow’s Hollow. Located near a hell-gate, the city allows him to exist on Earth without sacrificing much of his demon abilities, but as with all incubi, he must take the life essence of humans to maintain his strength.
Working as an escort, he has been able to keep himself satiated, juggling enough clients to ensure that he doesn’t repeat the mistakes of past incubi–the murderers, the gluttons, the true demonic leeches.
In his line of work, Severus sees much of the same every night: human women searching for surrender, for a connection, for love. He caters to them, steals from them, not realizing that he’s desperate for all the same things.
BLUE EYES, WATCHING HER WORLD FADE AWAY
Moira Aurelia: grad student, TV-marathoner, bar trivia champion–unable to look in a mirror. Not anymore. Because when she does, she no longer sees herself. The person, the creature, staring back isn’t her. It can’t be.
The physical changes started after her mom died a year ago. Hair, skin, eyes. Nothing is the same as it once was, and no one can tell her why. Doctors refer her to specialists. Specialists shrug their shoulders. And Moira assumes she’s dying from the same mysterious illness that plagued her mom.
But if she’s dying, why is she getting stronger? Her body is changing, but into what? Something… supernatural. Inhuman. Other. Frightening new realities flash across her mind, but she can’t accept them. She must be dying–because the alternative is crazy.
Fearing the end is near, and refusing to accept other possibilities, Moira goes after the one thing she can control: her sex life. Twenty-three and still unable to experience a satisfying climax, she schedules a session with a Rus Tanner, esteemed male escort, and hopes for something to go right for once.
LIGHT AND DARK COLLIDE–DESPERATE TO CONNECT
But the night takes a turn from the moment they meet. Severus, expecting just another dull session with a new client, is thrown by the otherworldly creature seeking his services–this strange, beautiful woman who arouses his long dormant demon side like none other. Moira, meanwhile, finds herself face-to-face with a man who can handle her newfound strength–and wears a dark stare and sinful smile like a second skin.
Two lonely creatures grapple with the undeniable pull between them.
Moira flees. Severus pursues.
Desperate for answers, the demon seeks her out–unaware that he isn’t the only predator to have caught her scent.
PREDATOR is the first novella in THE HUNT, a paranormal romance serial. It contains coarse language, graphic sexual content, and a very mild cliffhanger.
