Dark Cravings Madeline PryceMadeline Pryce is an author I wasn’t familiar with.  I started seeing a lot of buzz on FB about her Dark Cravings book.  So I started asking a few questions.  Got some very positive feedback so I decided to check her out and purchased the two books in this series.  I’m glad I did.  There is so much action and story in this read it’s really hard to put down.  I found no happy stopping point so I read the entire read in one afternoon.Dark Cravings is a book anyone into paranormal will devour.  As I started reading the first few chapters I immediately saw the character building with the two main characters.  Ella Grey and Micah MacGregor.  Both very Alpha.  Ella Grey was at one time human (or was she) and fell for a Vampire Julian who happened to be working to assist the Shadow Agency in their quest to rid the world of rouge demons.  As you read further into the story you find out why Julian was really there.  Ella and Julian were lovers and when Ella was attacked and left for dead Julian couldn’t have that because he had fallen in love with her, and turned her to keep her alive.  Then he just disappeared leaving Ella basically to fend for herself as she struggled through the transition. You need this back ground to understand the rest of the story.  Not that I’m going to tell you.Ella and Micah were Shadow hunters and partners.  Both of these characters seemed to have a dark side and Micah, I just knew wasn’t what he appeared to be.  When they were on a hunt one evening strange things started to happen.  They encountered what they thought was a Succubus and put under her spell.  Well the apparition was not a Succubus and when you find out who she was you will be as shocked as I was, and she didn’t put a spell on them but simply brought out their lust for each other.  Ella and Micah were withholding their feelings and trying to ignore them, but they really had the hots for each other.  In reality they were soulmates.  And were they ever.  Micah claimed her and for four days they were in sexual bliss.  What can I say.  But neither could explain what was happening.  At this early stage of the mating they couldn’t be apart.  Their families tried to keep them apart for their own good putting Ella and Micah in withdrawal almost killing Micah. You need to read the book.Her cast of supporting characters were just delicious.  You have Castro a Demon King and I think I fell in love with him.  There is just something about his character that grabbed me.  I also have some suspicions about his relationship with Micah. Then there is the big dangerous Lion Shifter Dante who you just want to melt into.  Eli who is Micah’s brother and didn’t fall short on the hotness meter, Hannah who is Ella’s sister and is cursed with a photographic memory.  At a very young age she found her mother than her father murdered.  Roy who is Ella and Hannah’s Uncle and raised the girls after their parents died, the Vampire Queen Lizbeth who turns out to be Ella and Hannah’s Aunt and is a born Vampire not created.  She is a one of a kind with a beating heart (or is she). Then last but not least you have Richard MacGregor the leader/commander of The Shadow Agency and Micah’s and Eli’s father a real POS.  I hope he gets put down.  The read is full of action, heart stopping moments, twists that will floor you, a heartfelt confession from Micah to Ella, hot claiming/marking sex, an unbelievable turn of event for Eli, did I mention hot claiming/marking sex.  My mind is spinning is every direction trying to figure out where Dark Innocent is going to go.  Will it be Hannah and Eli, or did we see some possessiveness with Dante and Hannah.  Will the prophecy be filled ( I think it will ).  But maybe not until Dark Secrets.  I’ll know better after I read Dark Innocence maybe.  This is a 5* read hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
