In New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Kresley Cole’s sizzling series, a fierce werewolf and a bewitching vampire become unlikely soul mates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death. After enduring years of torture from the vampire horde, Lachlain MacRieve, leader of the Lykae Clan, is enraged to find the predestined mate he’s waited millennia for is a vampire. Or partly one. Emmaline Troy is a small, ethereal half Valkyrie/half vampire, who somehow begins to soothe the fury burning within him. Sheltered Emmaline finally sets out to uncover the truth about her deceased parents—until a powerful Lykae claims her as his mate and forces her back to his ancestral Scottish castle. There, her fear of the Lykae—and their notorious dark desires—ebbs as he begins a slow, wicked seduction to sate her own dark cravings. Yet when an ancient evil from her past resurfaces, will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a proud warrior to his knees and turn a gentle beauty into the fighter she was born to be?

This book was ridiculous. I found myself laughing out loud through a lot of it - the main reason that I kept reading - because of the writing (bad), the sex scenes (bad and weird), and the whole “he's raping me because he loves me” scenario (which really shouldn't be funny but what can I say). This is Stephenie Meyer with actual sex in it. Read for the unintentional comedic value alone.
For me this book fell victim to overhype, I kept seeing the Immortals After Dark series being recommended everywhere and that led me to expect much more.
I have very mixed feelings about whether I enjoyed A Hunger Like No Other or not. At first I wasn't really vibing with it and even contemplated DNF'ing it but I wanted to stay to see it through but then again at the 70% mark I was really antsy wanting to just get it over with. I did enjoy it but... I don't know, it didn't really hit the spot for me.
I did really like Emmaline though, I found her both strong and sweet. I loved how she evolved from meek and scared to a fierce warrior. I didn't love Lachlain, I liked him much better towards the end but his behaviour in the first half of the book I couldn't look past.
i literally ate this up. it's a seriously addictive paranormal romance that had me hooked from start to finish. the characters had steamy chemistry that jumped off the page and the plot really did that
I am loving this series of books. I'm moving on to the next one.
