I was lucky enough to review this book originally in September 2012 when it was titled Blood Lust Rising and Madeline Pryce was writing under the name Fayth Devlin. So, this was almost like a reread for me, however the book has undergone extensive edits and whilst several chapters remain recognizable Madeline Pryce has made improvements to an already 5 star book!Dark Cravings is a perfect paranormal romance; the author gives her reader the kick-ass heroine, the dreamy hot hero, erotic sex scenes and  a plot line which is exciting, fresh, action-packed and full of an original range of characters.Micah and half-vampire Ella are on an assignment for the Shadow Agency, hunting paranormals, when they are accosted by a Succubus. Four days later they wake up together in a hotel room, naked with matching tattoos, after having violent and raw sex, in which they exchange blood. Although the couple attempt to keep their distance from each other the mating ritual that has taken place controls them both and Madeline Pryce writes scenes between the couple which reveal both their carnal and emotional hunger for each other.In a paranormal romance such as Dark Cravings it is not important that the characters are believable in the same way that they would be for a reader in an ordinary contemporary romance, but that they retain a sense of humanity, which Micah, Ella, and the secondary characters in this story do. Micah struggles with the questions about his identity, whilst Ella risks her own life to rescue her sister.Although the ending is not a cliffhanger, Madeline Pryce does construct the plot perfectly to leave the reader waiting for the sequel; but for the time being I guess we just have to read the recently released  companion novella, Dark Innocence.Don't hang around, start this amazing series now!!!!I received this as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
