A Hunger Like No Other (The Immortals After Dark Series, Book 1)

Acclaimed author Kresley Cole introduces a sizzling new series with this tale of a fierce werewolf and a bewitching vampire -- unlikely soul mates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death.

A mythic warrior who'll stop at nothing to possess her . . .

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. This Emmaline is a small, ethereal half Valkyrie/half vampire, who somehow begins to soothe the fury burning within him.

A vampire captured by her wildest fantasy . . .

Sheltered Emmaline Troy 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.

An all-consuming desire . . .

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?

Includes an excerpt from Kresley Cole's next romance novel, No Rest for the Wicked.

One of my favorite books!, 2008-08-25
Finally reading again, for my 29th book this year, I read: "A Hunger Like No Other" By: Kresley Cole. Technically I've read this one before. About 3 times before. It's one of my absolute favorite paranormal romances. I identify a lot with the main character and really really like the werewolf she's with. Meow. Anyway I'm counting this in with my 50 because even though it isn't a "new" book to me, I still read it this year.

I don't really know what to say about this book, giving a basic synopsis won't really explain why it's so great. It's just one of those books you have to read. And I know others before me have probably laid out the plot for you.

The book is just hot. The emotion is spot on. The whole thing is just fantastic and I'll probably read it another three times or more. I kind of want to read it again right now, but I can't exactly count it for book 29 and book 30, that would be weird.

Page turner! I read this in one day! , 2008-08-17
I have been reading romance novels since I was 15, so a good 20 years now. In my mind nothing like a cup of tea and a good romance novel to escape and unwind at the end of a day.
Just to give a sample of my taste, other authors I enjoy are: Jen Holling, Connie Brockway, Johanna Lindsey, Julie Garwood, Christina Dodd, just to name a few.

This entire series is such a page turner. I had a hard time putting any of the titles down. More evenings than I care to admit I stayed up way to late "just to read one more chapter".

In A Hunger like no other. I found the pull of Lachlain to his mate to be such an amazing draw. Gosh what this guy put himself through to get to her. Yes it was a bit disturbing that he kidnapped her but being tied under the earth in a fire to die over and over and having to take your own leg to escape might tend to make a man less than mannerly once he finds his true love.
The deep love you feel in the main characters not only in this book but in all of this series is truly moving.
I enjoyed the glimpse of supporting characters so you felt that any of them would be enjoyable to read about in their own series. The entire series is fast and there is not a lot of review of what happened in a prior book. You open the book and off you go. These are not slow moving. I laughed, I cried, I blushed. Boy Ms. Cole writes some steamy scenes. Wow! And I am amazed that nothing repeats. Each book is so different, the plots are so different and the way the main characters relate is so different. Yes they do all have hansom men and lovely ladies. But the dynamic relationship between the main characters is simply fire from page 1 to the end. Out of all my years reading romance. I have never read modern romance before. I can say without a doubt that these are the best romance books I have read and that is truly saying a lot considering how many authors works sit on my shelf.
