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.

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. ...more

Emma hates accounting, is a workout addict and loves reading on her windowseat. She suffers from sketchy sleep and nightmares about her missing sister. She has blocked the memories of what really happened that night but is still trying to find her sister, Keira.

Nikulaus is spying on Emma because he needs her to get his brother back. Luukas in Nik's brother and the Master Vampire of their region. He disappeared without a trace seven years ago but Nik suspects that the disappearance of Luukas and Keira may be connected.

Aiden was a badass, lunatic, powerhouse Brit. I started this series directly from book 3 which has Aiden in the lead. He was brilliant, funny, sweet and is the reason I looked for the other books in the series. In this story he acts as a Guardian to Nik and Cupid to the budding romance between Emma and Nik.
He's also Nik's best friend and believes Emma is just what his friend needs.

Lifemates is a huge part of vampire folklore and the author uses this plot device effectively. A bonded vampire will do anything for his mate, he is protective and possessive by nature. Nik has been in love before but he is not ready to risk Emma. This leads to a lot of misunderstandings and tension between the two.

Emma and Nik join forces to rescue their missing siblings. This is the part any action movie buff would approve - you get plans, modified cars and lots of sneaky gadgets. Think Vampires - inspired by James Bond. It makes sense as they are all Hunters, part of the Vampire Council.

The book also has the Good vs Evil concept, the good guys are Vampires and the bad guys are Legion. The book has some other vile monsters who snatched Keira.

I feel like Godilocks as I type this but the pacing was absolutely perfect. Not too fast, not too slow, it was just right.

This book is juggling a lot of sub plots, the romantic relationship, the missing siblings, the internal conflict of Nik, Emma's tragic past and the Amazing Aiden.
At no point is the reader overwhelmed, you don't lose track of what's happening or whose who. The author gets major points for this.
I will finish off by saying - start with the first book, the series is definitely worth it.

I received this ebook in exchange for an honest review. ...more

Nik believes that with Emma's help, together they can find their siblings. But first Nik needs Emma to understand and accept that she comes from a long line of witches, and that she herself is a witch.

With a market saturated with novels of the paranormal genre, finding a decent novel that includes a hero who's a vampire has been difficult for me. That and I'm personally a little tired of them. Coming across "Blood Hunger," I was quite hesitant but eventually gave in. Color me surprised. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. "Blood Hunger," full of drama, suspense, romance and hot sex, is an entertaining and engaging story with likeable characters. In particular, I loved Nik's good friend, Aiden, who kept me amused throughout.

So why four stars and not five. For two reasons. The first one being Emma and Nik's sexual relationship. (view spoiler) I don't know about you but after a while all it does is irritate the shit out of me.

Last, (view spoiler)

In the end, still a pretty good read. ...more

The first in a vampire series that has been re named and re vamped (pun intended). While this book doesn’t bring all that much new to this genre it is a fun and exciting read. I enjoyed it and if you are looking for a good biting series to while away the time this is a great option.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I read this book in one sitting. The characters have integrity, they were supportive, and ready to kick ass. Can Aidan be any funnier, I think not. Emma lacks self confidence, but is strong in her love for her sister which gives her courage. The interaction between Nik and Emma sizzle off the page.

Although she takes her own nightmares from the monsters she met that fateful night she never gives up searching and that's when a sexy vampire walks into her life claiming he has information leading to her sister. She doesn't want to trust him or even like him but despite this she does, as they spend more time together she learns he's looking for his lost brother too and is convinced his brother and sister are together so in order to get them back they need to work together and fast. They go through many fearful and adrenaline filled adventures over the story with some very explosive scenes both good and bad.

I love the characters in this book, they were well described and really touched me as a reader, I found myself feeling for them and if you do that as a reader then I'd definitely say it was a success.

Aiden is such a random quirky character, I love his quirkyness and the way he bounces off of Nikulus and winds him up just because he can, their teasing made for some laugh out loud scenes and because Aiden is such an odd guy you knew he was going to come out with some whacky random idea or plan it made him unpredictable and his softer side towards Emma was really endearing too knowing she was good for Nikulus he took a liking to her and gave her what comfort he could in some tricky situations.

Emma wow, well she was spunky, she really was she was feisty and tenacious at times but that wasn't all that she was made up of I loved that she fought so hard for what she wanted at times yet still had the confusion about what she was feeling and she had a big vulnerability, her looks but as the book developed that fear was worked upon by her and Nikulus and she grew enough to be able to look in a mirror and not cower away. She was a strong determined character that showed gumption, feistiness, anger but also feared and worried over little things.

Nikulus well he was godlike in appearance from how the author described him and wow even thinking about him made me feel a little naughty. I loved at he blew Emma away with his looks, ok sometimes he was pompous and arrogant but he wasn't intentionally cruel to anyone who didn't deserve it. I loved seeing how protective and possessive he got over Emma when he realised she was his, and I loved how Emma reacted against some of his possessiveness knocking him back down and making him realise she had a right to decisions too.

My overall thoughts on this book were that it was amazing, it had action, drama, fears, love and definitely lustfilled scenes. I love the characters within this story and I love how they grow right in front of me as a reader, I really felt for them and wanted things to work out for them. The storyline was strong and really drew me in so much So that I read it in two sittings every chapter had something new to add to the story and I loved it!

Intriguing but ultimately a disappointing end

Seven years ago Emma's sister Keira was kidnapped by monsters, Emma escaped but she was left scarred for life and tormented by nightmares. Obviously no one actually believed it was monsters, a bear attack was given as the official reason, Emma is still looking for Keira, she is after all the only family she has, then one night Emma gets a call from someone claiming to have information on her sister and telling her to be at The Vineyard at 9pm.

There was so much invested in the romance/mate factor of this one, that it felt like the rest of the plot suffered. The characters were typical, and not unlike others I've read about in this genre.
