If you're looking for a seductive vampire romance to get lost into, look no further. Hunger Awakened is the book to get!I read this book without the knowledge of it being part of a series. However, rest assured that Hunger Awakened can be a standalone read. I read this without readingHunger Arousedfirst and it still made sense without anything being confusing. Although, I do plan to read the first installment now as I am curious to know more about Corin and Jasmine's story.I haven't read anything from Dee Carney yet. This being my first. I was intrigued by the blurb and especially the characters with Bast being a half-vampire, half-something else and with Alice being homeless & struggling with an illness. Right from the first opening scene, I knew that this was going to be good and I was not wrong. The blurb already provided a great summary of the story so I won't regurgitate it.This is a story that will draw you in immediately once you start reading. At least that was the case for me. I couldn't turn the kindle pages fast enough to find out what was the mystery behind Bast's illness. It was the excitement and curiosity that had me staying up until the early morning to discover what Bast's other half was besides being a half-vampire.While the mystery of Bast's illness was what drew me in, it was many things as well. The storytelling along with the wonderful characters and the twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat was what also hooked me with Hunger Awakened. I LOVED Bast and Alice together. What a genuine and great couple! You can feel the love radiating off the pages with them. Their love was sweet, hot and passionate. I especially loved Alice with her strength, eternal support, courage, acceptance and most of all her unconditional love for Bast. The ending was great; I can't even imagine a more perfect ending for these two. Although, I wouldn't mind reading more about them in future books or in a follow-up story to see how they're doing *hint hint* :)Overall, Hunger Awakened by Dee Carney was an awesome read. For fans of vampire romance, be sure to pick this one up. Bast is no sparkly vampire, but I guarantee you that he will make you swoon no doubt!Quotes:"If you'll have me, and please God have me, agree to be with me for the rest of our lives...I am begging you for your most precious gift. For the gift of yourself. I swear to you that I'll cherish it always.""I will love you with everything I have and with everything I am. I will be yours until you tire of me."*Book Disclaimer: I received a review copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
