A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I was a little hesitant going into it, but man o man was I greatly pleased. I loved watching Emma's journey and growth. And the best part was I don't feel like it was Lochlain. I feel like while he was the catalyst, she did it on her own. At first I didn't really like her because I thought she was weak, however that's the point. By the end, I felt just like her aunts. Shocked at this warrior who just showed up seemingly out of no where.
I also loved their romance. I loved how it wasn't smooth sailing, even though they both knew that they didn't really have a choice (or at least Lochlain did). I also loved watching them slowly fall for each other, then hit separate turning points that was a quick fall afterward.
Now for some negatives that kept it from a favorite. I found a lot of the lore (lower case L) kinda confusing. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, or stuff will get explained later, but there were a few things that I found confusing throughout and took me from the story for a bit. Also, Annika and Lochlain drove me up the wall (though Lochlain I could deal with). Annika had to know that isolating Emma for her entire IMMORTAL life was not going to work. And her absolute refusal to listen to anyone's point other than hers got on my nerves real quick. Lochlain, I more found him an annoyance. Just his constant one track mind and lying was irritating, but I could live with it.
Overall this was a great introduction into this world. I literally couldn't put it down until I finished it. Can't wait for the next.
