A Hunger Like No Other: Immortals After Dark, Book 2

By: Kresley Cole

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

For fans of Ali Hazelwood’s Bride and Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series, an innocent young vampire and a powerful werewolf king are drawn together by an unexpected soul bond in the electrifying start to Kresley Cole’s New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series—now with a stunning new cover.

Half vampire, half Valkyrie, Emmaline spent her entire sheltered life hidden among the Lore in New Orleans surrounded by the loving, yet overbearing coven who raised her. All Emmaline Troy wanted was a trip to Paris –to investigate her parents’ mysterious deaths there all those years ago. And to finally have a small adventure and perhaps even a first kiss.

But one crowded city night, as she’s making her way down a street, she’s knocked off her feet by striking werewolf. He’s towering, intimidating, and has an infuriatingly seductive Scottish brogue. And he won’t let her go.

The Lykae King, Lachlain MacRieve, has been imprisoned in the catacombs beneath Paris for over a 150 years by his sworn Vampire enemies, but the scent of his Fated Mate on the streets above gives him the strength to finally escape from his subterranean prison. Lachlain has waited for Her for centuries, and the last thing he expects is the bewitching vampire mix who seems to want only to escape his grasp.

Yet he knows only she can soothe the fury within him and he’s determined to make her his by the next full moon.

As Lachlain convinces the hesitant but fiery Emma to accompany him to his ancestral home in Scotland, the pair will come up against ruthless creatures, ancient evil, and the irrevocable pull of Fate. Will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a warrior to his knees and turn Emma into the fighter she was born to be?

Good but not Great

I have read most of this series and really enjoyed it. When I saw the audio books released, I thought that I would enjoy listening to the series as well. The fact that I have read and now am listening to the series, should tell you enough about where i stand on my recommendation. But I do want to note that I think this book and the series are slightly different from most paranormal romance books. There is a certain whimsical nature to some of the characters and plot lines, a la the Kerrelyn Sparks' books. It does have darker moments, but it is also fun...perfect summer listen for vacation.

A very good read

Great story, action, sex, and intrigue. Exactly what I am looking for in a series. Narrator did a very good job and kept the story flowing well.

The absolute best

I have listened to many series and yet I return to this one for several reasons. 1. K C is an excellent writer with the ability to give her characters depth to the degree that it is rare. 2. She can seamlessly bels humor, tragedy, hot sex without even changing the subject. 3. K C chose Mr Petkoff to narrate her series and he is utterly masterful. Over the different books and adding of characters he continued to amaze me. You will know who is speaking simply by his voice. He has the sexiest accents I have ever heard in the males yet can still do the women’s voices so they 2 are recognizable and not be annoying.

In all the hundreds of books I have, Kresley Cole’s Immortals after Dark Series May be my favorite series.

Repeatedly listen to this one

What made the experience of listening to A Hunger Like No Other the most enjoyable?

I absolutely LOVE the narrator. Robert Petkoff is probably the best narrator I've ever had the immense pleasure of listening to. I get wrapped up in the story so much that I feel I'm in it. The writing is brilliant. I expected romance books to be hokey or poorly written but NO SIR Kresley Cole is creative and witty.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Hunger Like No Other?

Oh man... so many. The rain scene at the beginning, Lachlain MacRieve is on the edge. Later on he vows not to touch her as she suckles him and he breaks the headboard begging her to release him from his vow... I could keep going!

What does Robert Petkoff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Phew... He brings some serious complex levels of heat. His accents, his acting, it really puts you in the scene. His anger when he plays Lachlain MacRieve and his sass when he's reading a Valkyrie. The range is so big you forget it's just one person reading.

LIVE K COLE!

best series ever well one of my favorite series cannot wait for Monroe to come out
