Women's Fiction | Paranormal - Supernatural

Having dealt with her husband’s sudden and unexpected death, Sarah finds herself with an even worse nightmare happening. The old adage of NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT falls true as she gets a call from her daughter Jenna’s roommate. Jenna is missing!

Is this a political move of some kind, as her late husband was a senator? What Sarah finds is not political in nature but far worse than that, worse than any nightmare she could come up with. It is a trafficking of sorts but it is so out of this world unbelievable she must believe it. Her past now stands before her in the flesh and looks like the teen she had loved, so long ago.

NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT is a paranormal women's fiction novel that gives readers a lot to think about. Sarah is an older heroine in her 40s and premenopausal, with life continuing in a “normal” way until the call about her missing daughter sends her into a frenzy. Other people are involved in the search and hopeful rescue including her late husband’s brother, Joe, and his former assistant Frankie, Ash who may or may not be in the FBI, as well as Gideon, the former boyfriend who disappeared on her so many years ago.

Secrets, danger, and intrigue happen quickly and throw readers into a world that Sarah had no idea existed. Werewolves are real with two packs in the area in a fight for dominance and the winner takes all. In the middle of this are missing women, more than just Jenna, who will be the trophy for the winners. It seems a virus has decimated the packs, killing off the women, so these women will be turned and so they can become mates. However, when Jenna has been chosen to be the alpha's mate, who happens to be Gideon, Sarah will do anything to save her daughter, including offering herself as his mate. This will open up more than Sarah bargained for, including her own inner beast. 

NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT by Lori Handeland will draw you in and keep you reading to find out how Sarah deals with the new reality that has become her life.

SUMMARY

They say a mother will do anything for her child . . . I’m living proof

This nightmare began when I got the call every parent dreads. My daughter, Jenna, was missing from her college campus. Of course, my mind went to the worst place. After all, my late husband was a powerful senator. Was this some political payback?

I call in a favor and soon I’m partnered with an FBI sex trafficking agent. He tells me local girls have been disappearing for some time now, and he finally has a lead. But what we find at that abandoned warehouse is something out of a horror movie.

Werewolves! Two rival packs, their alphas fighting, winner take all––the pack and the trafficked girls. The werewolves must replenish their breeders, recently decimated by a virus that killed only the females.

But Jenna’s been keeping a secret, which only makes two of us. Though I should be angry, I know the lies I’ve told play a huge role in why we’re here. I’ll do anything to make it right. No way is my girl going to become a sacrificial mate for the greater good––even if she is the ‘chosen one.’ So, I do what any mother would do, I take her place, offering myself to Gideon, the winning alpha, as his mate.

Gideon’s goal is to live in harmony with the human world, but there are others who exist for the power, for the violence, and they don’t plan to let peace prevail.

There’s a civil werewolf war brewing and I am right in the middle of it.

From the voice of New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland, a new volume in her Nightcreature world, complete with the humor, depth of characterization and fast-paced plot lines she is known for while showcasing the author’s incredible range.
