Following my completion of Blood Submission (book 5) as part of a review tour, I purchased the previous books in the series. That is how much I had enjoyed that installment. Now I have finished Blood Hunger (book one) I can honestly say I got my money’s worth.

In this installment, we meet Niklaus a vampire and Emma who has no idea she is a witch.

She has no clue of the powers she can wield. Seven years ago, she witnessed her sister’s kidnapping at the hands of monstrous creatures. Since then she dedicated her life trying to find her but her searches proved fruitless, but she refused to give up hope. The memories of that fateful night still haunts her. 

Nikulas a vampire has searching for his brother who went missing seven years ago. His search led him to Emma, whom he believes is the link to finding his brother.

Their initial interaction did not go so well. Their attraction to each other was instantaneous; however, despite this Emma thought he was an arrogant ass. To top it all she did not believe the information he relayed regarding her sister’s disappearance. She had a harder time accepting she was a witch. Nick recognized he had his work cut out for him in getting her to believe and trust him.

I enjoyed the camaraderie between the characters. Although this is Emma and Nik’s story, the character that got me all excited was Aiden, Nick’s guardian and best friend. He stroked my funny bone and had me laughing throughout the story.

Nik, though a badass, swoon worthy vampire struggled with issues from his past. These issues fed his fears, which resulted in him fighting his attraction to Emma. 

I admired Emma’s show of strength. She has been through hell and back, but she is a survivor.  However, there was a point in the story where her fears got the better of her.

I found the romance heartwarming, sweet and sexy.  Their romance felt real, despite their instant connection. Their emotions leapt off the pages.

I loved the author’s writing style. The story was fun and riveting. It hooked me from the first page. I had a hard time putting it down. I laughed, I shed a few tears, and the story kept me on my toes. I did not want it to end.  

Conclusion/Recommendation
Overall, this was a great start to the series. I cannot wait to get to the next book in the series.
