HUNGER is the eighth full length novel in Felicity Heaton’s contemporary, adult Vampires Realm paranormal romance series. Told from close third person POV this is vampires Tor and Eve’s storyline. Although HUNGER is a part of a continuing series, it can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any information required from previous storylines is imparted to the reader where necessary.Tor is a vampire assassin and hunter-a part of the Vehemens clan; Eve is also a hunter but one who hunted the very thing she has become. As a member of the royal family-a Chosen Daughter and a constituent of the same Vehemens clan as Tor- it is time Eve must take her place as part of the ruling family. Tor is sent as her guardian and escort from Paris to Amsterdam not knowing that Eve has been targeted by someone she once trusted and loved.The attraction between Tor and Eve is immediate but Tor has learned to keep his emotions and feelings to himself. A hunter since his transition Tor has seen murder, torture and abuse first hand and hopes to keep that part of his life secreted away from the woman with whom he is falling in love. The relationship between our leading couple is necessary, protective, seductive and provocative. Tor has experienced the rejection and the disdain of vampire hierarchy, and knows that his presence in Eve’s life will not be accepted or condoned.The secondary characters include Eve’s father, sister and extended family; the Three Law Keepers (akin to vampire royalty special forces); and the one man Eve has targeted for destruction.  The supernatural world building continues with each storyline and HUNGER follows Lilith’s  (Eve’s sister) story –Seventh Circle (book four).Felicity Heaton writes an emotional and moving storyline of betrayal and hope; love and acceptance; family and fitting in. HUNGER is a story of adventure and action that will captivate and fascinate; her leading characters are quick to accept all that life has to offer-there is no overreaching fear of rejection or the constant push and pull of a love/hate relationship. Heaton’s characters are adults who know what they want, and Tor and Eve have found a bond in one another.I was gifted a copy
