A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, #1)

by Kresley Cole

After 150 years of hellish torture at the hands of the vampire horde, Lachlain, king of the Lykae (werewolf) clan, escapes his captors. He's disoriented and full of hatred, and yet he finds the mate he's been longing for for 1200 years in a small, delicate vampire. Desperate to find information on her parents, Emmaline Troy, a timid, overprotected half vampire/ half valkyrie, had travelled to Paris away from the protection of her valkyrie aunts for the first time in her young life (she's only 70), but she manages to be kidnapped by a raging Lykae who's tender to her one minute, though-if he is reminded she's a vampire-furious the next...

Ok ... if I ignore the first half of this book, then I like it ok. If I include the first half of this book it makes me rage. I don't like kidnapping, forced sexual encounters, coercion, and drugging of the MC by the "hero," and I use that term loosely. Did he turn out to be a good guy? Yes. Had he gone through some shit that made him an ass at the beginning? Yes to that too. But once he came to his senses, that shit should have stopped. I was ill. I didn't find the sex sexy. She had no effing choice in the matter, ever! How is that sexy? The ONLY reason I finished is because I have been told by several friends that I will love this series. So often that I already own them all on audio. If the next book follows this trend I will be attempting to return what I can of this series. I didn't like the first book either. This is not looking good.

Side note, the narrator does a great job! You all were correct there!
