Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

In New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Kresley Cole’s sizzling series, a fierce werewolf and a bewitching vampire become unlikely soul mates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death.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. Emmaline Troy is a small, ethereal half Valkyrie/half vampire, who somehow begins to soothe the fury burning within him. Sheltered Emmaline 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. 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?

    A Hunger Like No Other follows Lachlain, an ancient werewolf, and Emmaline, a young half Valkyrie/half vampire who’s his mate. They have to overcome their people’s distrust of each other in order to be together.
    I picked this up because of The Ripped Bodice’s foundational romance list and I guess I understand its place on there? It’s werewolves and vampires in a way that feels more Buffy than Twilight. But the main characters just didn’t do it for me. Lachlainn is over a thousand years old and Emmaline is 70 but looks and acts like she’s twenty-four (according to the book, I found her more like a whiny teenager) and I am so not down with the ancient man/young woman thing, especially because there were a lot of dubcon scenes. 
    This story set up a lot of future stories with side characters, and I’m mildly interested enough to add the next one to my TBR. Overall a middle of the road read for me but fans of paranormal romance might enjoy it.
