Very tedious to read, I wish I could've enjoyed it. 

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.

Getting proper insight from BTS themselves was both intriguing and heartbreaking. Hearing of how they were treated in the early days and their thoughts and feelings throughout their career was very eye opening. Looking back on moments in the past 10 years and now knowing their thoughts behind them has made me look at things with a fresh perspective.

I've seen a few reviews critiquing the ‘flowery writing' and I unfortunately have to agree, a lot of big words strung together and it became tedious to read after awhile. I also had a really hard time understanding what was going on.

I wanted to like this one much more than I did. It did get better as time went on and I enjoyed the ending, but that doesn't undo my confusion for more than half the story nor the way it was written.

What a cute little story, I only wish it could've been longer instead of a novella! I loved Hazel and Vlad's meeting, the angst that came afterwards and the rivalry between them, I would've loved to have seen that more fleshed out but I still had a lot of fun reading.
