Frequently Asked Questions
Reading order, heat level, where to start, and how to tell this Raven Voss from the other one. Short answers, no spoilers.
Who is Raven Voss?
Raven Voss is the pen name of an author of explicit 18+ monster romance and dark romance. She writes two series: Hunted Mate, a monster reverse-harem (why-choose) series, and Leverage & Lust, a dark finance romance series. Another, unrelated author publishes under the same name in different genres — this site and these two series are the work of the romance author Raven Voss.
What order should I read the Hunted Mate series in?
Read Hunted Mate in this order: 1) A Hunted Mate: Prequel Novella, 2) Hunted on Livestream, 3) Feral Threshold, 4) The Wolf’s Claim. All four are available on Amazon. There is also a newsletter-exclusive novelette, “Room Tone,” set three weeks before Hunted on Livestream — it sits outside the numbered order and is free to newsletter subscribers.
What order should I read the Leverage & Lust series in?
Read Leverage & Lust in this order: 1) EDGE & EXCESS, 2) Confessions of a Crypto Queen, 3) Read & Ruin (a prequel to Book 2), 4) Confessions of a Hedge Fund Mistress.
Are the books standalone, or do I have to read them in order?
Each series is best read in order, because the romance and the overarching story build book to book. The two series are separate worlds, though, so you can read them independently of each other — start with whichever premise pulls you in.
Is there a free Raven Voss book?
Yes. “Room Tone,” a Hunted Mate novelette, is free when you join Raven Voss’s newsletter. It is exclusive to subscribers — it is not sold on Amazon and is not in Kindle Unlimited. Set three weeks before Hunted on Livestream, it is the easiest way to try the series before Book 1.
What is “Room Tone”?
“Room Tone” is a Hunted Mate novelette by Raven Voss, available only to newsletter subscribers. Told by Sloane Wilder three weeks before the events of Hunted on Livestream, it follows the true-crime podcaster as she records sixty seconds of silence for her show and finds a breath on the tape that is not hers. It focuses on Caspian, the incubus, with the other four monsters at the edges. It is explicit (18+) and is not available for sale anywhere.
What is a reverse harem or “why-choose” romance?
Reverse harem — also called why-choose — is a romance in which the heroine ends up with several love interests at once and never has to pick just one. In the Hunted Mate series, Sloane Wilder is claimed by five monsters, and “why choose?” is the whole point.
How explicit are the books?
Very. Every Raven Voss title is explicit adult fiction (18+) with dark themes and on-page heat. Check the content-warnings page for per-series details before you start.
Is Leverage & Lust connected to Hunted Mate?
No — they are two separate worlds by the same author. Hunted Mate is paranormal monster romance; Leverage & Lust is contemporary dark romance set in London’s crypto and hedge-fund scene. “Lara Voss” is the heroine of Leverage & Lust, not a separate pen name.
Are any of the books sapphic (F/F)?
Yes. Confessions of a Hedge Fund Mistress (Leverage & Lust, Book 2) centers a forbidden sapphic (F/F) mentor romance. The wider Leverage & Lust series includes both F/F and M/F relationships.
Where can I buy Raven Voss’s books?
All titles are on Amazon — find them through the Amazon Author Central page at amazon.com/author/ravenvoss. If you would rather try before you buy, the newsletter-exclusive novelette “Room Tone” is free when you join the mailing list.
