A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark Book 2)
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?

This book was ridiculous. I found myself laughing out loud through a lot of it - the main reason that I kept reading - because of the writing (bad), the sex scenes (bad and weird), and the whole “he's raping me because he loves me” scenario (which really shouldn't be funny but what can I say). This is Stephenie Meyer with actual sex in it. Read for the unintentional comedic value alone.
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.
i literally ate this up. it's a seriously addictive paranormal romance that had me hooked from start to finish. the characters had steamy chemistry that jumped off the page and the plot really did that
I am loving this series of books. I'm moving on to the next one.
