I'll start by saying that  I absolutely love the Inside Out series. I pulled a marathon read getting through the first novels and novellas. However,  my interest has always centered on Rebecca and Mark. The premise of getting to know Rebecca's via her diaries has fascinated me and for some reason I clung to that part of the storyline.  Lisa Renee Jones hooked me with Rebecca's Journals and I've been clamoring to understand her relationship with Mark and the mystery of her disappearance. I'm not convinced we've seen the last of her . Naturally, any part of the story sharing Marks point of view is going to peak my interest and in this case, it also induced some anxiety.My Hunger  is a wonderful take on a slice of time when Mark is in an emotional and mental crisis brought on by Ava's revelations from Being Me. Mark Compton has many secrets to hide, a family enduring personal pain and a business in flux. What I love about the way this is written is that as Mark is moving through his world, while he is taking care of business, he encounters many memories that completely catch him off guard and we finally see Mark losing a bit his control. He is not always the cold bastard I had identified him as. But the facade remains for most of the world to see and it takes someone new, Crystal Smith, entering his life as an employee (they never learn) for Mark to finally allow himself to confront his failures as Rebecca's protector.I went into this read filled with anxiety and in the end, the anxiety remains. I need resolution on Rebecca's story. I am a romantic and although I would love to see the impossible, I am slowly coming to accept that what's best is what Mark starts to uncover in My Hunger . I may not get the happily ever after I wanted but I'm looking forward to some resolution from No In Between.
