Review: An erotic supernatural tale with a good storyline, strong worldbuilding with elements of fantasy and mythology. Really enjoyed

This novel is seriously HOT!  From Chapter 1 through to the end. Since the heroine is an incubus, lots of "play" is to be expected and when an incubus is involved, expect "play" to happen anywhere, anytime.And all of it is fantastic and titillating, but really, what I liked most about this novel is the unexpected entertainment value I got from it. The detailed worldbuilding, the storyline and the heroine surprised me.There's a whole world built around a society of covens, a Vampire Council and Guardians who worked for the Council. We get a glimpse into the politics surrounding each. There are elements of fantasy and mythology as well. It's obvious that the author took her time to build this world and ensure the setting, culture, characters and other details blended nicely.Then a great storyline emerges telling us how vampires can no longer be born and haven't for 100 years, and how the heroine will play a significant role in bringing about a change. Throw in an evil villain to muddy things up, a hot as hell hero (or two) and I was a happy happy reader.There are plenty of action scenes (not just "play") but actual fighting where our heroine shines and kicks some serious butt. I really liked the heroine, Miranda, and found her to have many dimensions to her character. She actually had a human upbringing and we see how she struggled to accept what she was and what she now has to do to survive. Despite it all, she amazingly holds onto her individuality and independence. As bothered as she is by some things she has to do, she accepts her fate and learns how to deal with it best she can.There are lots of great characters, both human and supernatural. I would like to have seen a little more development of the hero Daniel. But this is the first in a series, so I imagine my curiosity will be fulfilled in upcoming novels. I found the villain to be particularly compelling. Despicable but still very convincing.So bottom line is if you are looking for a very erotic supernatural tale with a good storyline, strong worldbuilding with elements of fantasy and mythology, Hunger Embraced will do it for you. I really enjoyed my reading experience and happily recommend it!Happy Reading!!4 Stars - Really Enjoyed It!!!!
