I read Pirate Bound before I started this one, so I already knew part of the backstory of these characters and I think that helped me get into this story without trouble. I really enjoyed this short story. Dem and Sarah now have a kid and something is wrong with her and they can't figure out what. I felt so sorry for them to see them struggle and then help comes from an unlikely corner and it has a fun twist at the end.
We learn of something new we haven't heard of in Pirate Bound and I can't get my hands on book 1 fast enough. I am really impressed already by the world and characters these authors have created and I just want more. Hunter Bound was short, but it was well paced and had a satisfying conclusion. And it was an enjoyable read. And I think even for people who haven't read the novella it can be a fun read, although maybe a bit more confusing then as you know less about the characters.

(diverse read: biracial child and interracial couple, please note this is a sequel to PIRATE BOUND and prequel to PIRATE NEMESIS, two sci fi romancea that also feature interracial couples)
Poor little Tama, suffering from severe pain...I read PIRATE NEMESIS before this, so I knew the end result for this, but it was still unsettling to watch Dem and Sanah struggle to find the answers they sought.
As part of the overall world that Locke is building this was a good taste of aspects of it -- since this is a sequel to PIRATE BOUND (when Dem & Sanah got together) broadstrokes are used to describe what a Hunter or Killer are and the universe at large.
This isn't a detraction but a plus as it focuses on the newer concept of the kith and gives readers a chance to see the new dynamic of what it means for Dem to be in a relationship. Its not easy and even three years into it, bumps occur because he is uncertain of the nuances to expect.
While this may be a but too dependent on foreknowledge of the characters to be enjoyed as a standalone, its definitely a treat.
