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...

Nevermind—

I sorta knew this book wasn’t going to be as great as the third one in the series which I’d read not too long ago. Not giving up on the series as a whole though, simply because there’s other parts of the Lore I wish to read about and I like Cole’s writing. I’ll just move on to the second installment instead.

In depth reason why I’m DNFing at about 20%: it’s not really the non con parts that bothered me, it’s rather the very weak personalities of both of the main characters. There’s nothing about Emmaline that makes me care or wish to read more about her and Macrieve is just your typical alpha male who has no redeeming traits. I do not care much for Cole’s werewolf race in these books tbh, but at least in the 3rd one, you see some more complex character with him and some persona from the MC.
