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 did not like the beginning of this book. The first few chapters with both the main charachters bordered on rape and kidnapping, even though it did not happen it really turned me off But after I got past my original reservations of the first few chapters it started to intrigue me. By the end I was enjoying it and will say that I will probably read more of the series.
It's been in my tbr for yeeeeeaaaars.... Now is the time. It's ok but I'm hoping annoying ladies is not the norm in this series. I'll push through hoping it will get better. Also, this ish is too long for what it is.
BLEGH. If questionable consent is your thing, then you are really gonna like this book. I dont get it, and I am ok with it. It was just too rapey for me. I like when there is a clash of wills, and the seduction is a little more intense, but not when the heroine is kind of a wuss. She had absolutely no spine. When she finally DID get a spine, I was wondering, why didnt she kick the crap out of him a little more? She just bitch slapped him, and that was lame. So yeah, there is that. It makes no sense, because after this I read [b:The Pawn 32671499 The Pawn (Endgame, #1) Skye Warren https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1476733782s/32671499.jpg 53244483], and I actually liked that story line a little more, but the heroine had a little bit of the same problem, being a total wuss.
