Hellcat #7
Raising Hell
The rest period is over and the ultimate endgame round has just begun.
The City has seen a peaceful lull for the past three years. The Werewolf Alliance has settled into their role as peacekeepers, stamping out threats the moment they rear their heads. The Magi have recovered from their losses both in numbers and strength and the Veil is more solid than ever. The Vampires never rest; the desire to create Dhampirs grows despite the law and the deadly consequences, but even their weapons are gathering dust.
And yet all of them know this peace is an illusion; a small space in time to rest and regroup. Because the Decuria still exist in the shadows and the Prophesy calls to all sides. The battle of the millennium is looming and only one side can win.
A new player has joined the game as old foes prepare to once more roll the dice. The board pieces are set, the gameplan is decided and the protectors of the City are the only ones who don’t know the rules.
Kyle and Trish have the family they never dared to wish for. Not only two daughters but an ever-growing, ever-strengthening Werewolf Pack. The love and security of family is everything they desired, but the weight of responsibility is burdensome and they can never let down their guard. Just when they thought everything was black and white, they are faced with a new choice; one that is all shades of grey, one that could change the Werewolf world forever.
Still reeling from the shock of the decision they must make, the fragile peace is inevitably broken, leaving the Pack blind-sided and chasing their tails. It will take everything they have to keep their family and friends safe. They will have to find strength in their weaknesses and vulnerability in their strengths if they are to survive this assault. Can they ever be prepared for the consequences of that which has been prophesied?
Fasten that safety belt and grab a handhold, this will not be a quiet Sunday afternoon drive.

Raising Hell is an offshoot of the Hellcat series and lets us into werewolf Trish’s world.
Trish is seriously worried and losing sleeping with all the nightmares she is having. Considering she has a gorgeous Alpha Kyle, a foster daughter who is one of the twins of the prophecy and a lovable bundle of energy, as well as a caring young lady about to develop her Vodun priestess powers that she considers family, it seems strange. But something just doesn’t add up. There is danger lurking out there. The pack has been successful so far in maintaining peace, but the Decuria have not yet been vanquished. When a spy is caught at Haven with earth-shattering news Trish has some exceptionally hard decisions to make. Add to this the stress of Flora’s new love interest and an abandoned pup that has brought out some strange behaviour in Breanna as well as ghouls that have begun attacking in ways ghouls have never done before. So besides the day to day security of keeping the Veil intact and protecting friends and family from enemies that could be lurking anywhere, nothing crazy can happen, right? Wrong! This is Hellcat World after all; prepare yourself for a ride...
Another brilliant book by Ms Hannaford! It gave the series a new insight to be able to see events from a different point of view. We got to focus on Gabi and the vampires previously and to see the dynamics within the wolves makes for interesting reading. The pacing is comfortable with enough info to keep you engaged without there being an info dump which makes it difficult to keep up. At one stage one of the main characters goes through a life-changing ordeal, and all I can say is Ms Hannaford – why do you do that to my nerves?
I highly recommend this book in the Hellcat series that weaves in so well with the others and connects some of the remaining mysteries that still lie open.
PS – Don’t you ever do anything to Fergus!

loved coming back to hellcats world :) I do like the new view points for the story narrative although I do miss gabi view point. I like the direction it's going and didn't see certain werewolf story lines coming. Can't wait for the next :)

I was so excited to be brought back to this world. It’s the perfect blend of revisiting old friends while also moving forward. I really hope this series continues.

Hm, I don't like the implication that Kyle and Lex wanted Gabi alive just because they were affraid of Julius's rage... That's not what the relationship between them was...
