Originally Reviewed For: Tea and BookA Must Read Book for Vampire fans and non vampire fans alike!!I am a huge fan of Kiersten Fay's Shadow Quest Series but was leary to read this vampire book. Not to worry it captivated me from the get go! Ms Fay does it again! As I have said many a time talent shows through.Totally unique in it's concept and creation and yet it manages to capture the essence of a traditional vampire story without going all Bram Stoker on us.This was a book that made even me, sit up and take stock. Yep you got it, a vampire book totally enthralled me! Ok so there have been a few in the past but this one has to be one of the very best.It's been a hundred years since Vampires came out of the closet and the world has totally changed it's dynamics. No more hiding in the dark, nope these are the new power in town. Top of the food chain. Humans attempt to go about their lives but everyone knows who really runs the show.Coraline Conwell has had a difficult life. At the age of ten her parents were killed and she was left an orphan. Wandering the city streets trying to survive as best she could. Starving and alone until she was captured by a stray vamp.. holding her hostage and using her for blood, fortunately not sex. Even after he was ordered to let her go, he refused, causing his death, which of course Coraline witnessed. Move a head a few years and Coraline was scooped from the gutter in a fairy tale romance.. but here it is 7 months after the wedding and Coraline is just realizing that dear old hubby is a what's the term? Oh yeah Rat-Bastard. Now she is a witness for the police, someone is out to kill her, the Vampires are questioning her and oh yeah turns out her blood has been infused with Vampire blood.. oh yippee skippy, can things get any worse?Enter the sexy VEA (Vampire Enforcement Agency) agent, Mason. There is just something about him. Even though he is a vamp and Coraline has definite thoughts on vamps (who can blame her) she is drawn to Mason.. when he accidentally triggers the blood bond things are even more convoluted.. But Mason is a decent vamp and tries his hardest to not scare Coraline, to protect her and even make her feel like her life hasn't spiraled out of control. Coraline can not help but be enticed.And then she falls down the rabbit hole.. well not literally but Coraline's world goes from a mad mess to just a mad world. A Story of witches and Vampires, danger and desire.. all wrapped up into one wonderful book. I seriously could not put this book down! What a treat from Ms Fay. My only complaint was.. you guessed it, it ended! Darn author, don't they know they are supposed to just keep writing...This is a book designed to be discussed. I want to TALK about it, it's nuances and meanings. I want to share my thoughts in infinite detail. Of course I won't this is a review not a spoiler site.. but people this book was fantastic!! There is so much more going on than Ms Fay lets on. Seriously my questions have questions..A Great book and only the beginning of Ms Fay's Creatures of Darkness Series. I can only hope for many more!ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of A Wicked Hunger, provided by the author.
