 2008-11-18 - A GREAT READ!!!!!!
I absolutly loved this book and the whole Immortals After Dark series. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good paranormal romance! I couldn't put it down and have actually re-read it (which is rare for me!)
 2008-10-17 - Good but the series definately gets better
I liked this book a lot but found that it seemed to lose some momentum, however it left me curious enough about the secondary characters to continue with the series and I'm glad I did - the next book is great!
Kresley Cole has great character development and I really enjoy her dialogue style.
A nice change was that I didn't find the heroine to be intensely irritating and unbelievable. She wasn't portrayed as a 'strong,intelligent, independant woman' only to turn out to constantly be doing and saying silly, pathetic, contradictory things - the heroine was actually portrayed as being quite weak and dependant initially (still not stupid though) but then really comes into her own.
One of the standouts for me from the first two books in this series is that I find the characters beleiveable (apart from the fact that they're valkyrie, vampires, werewolves etc.) - it's a nice change to be reading and not stopping constantly shaking your head and rolling your eyes over what characters do or say.
2008-10-15 - WONDERFUL!
This book is fantastic!
I was looking for a new good series and decided to pick this one after reading the reviews.
I'm so glad I did.
The book will keep you reading until you can't fight your eyes anymore.
It'll even follow you in your dreams!
I didn;t want the book to end and was very angry when it did so suddenly.
Looking forward to the next!
*** NOTE: I read this book first because it said "Book 1" but then learned that there's a story by Cole in the book "Playing Easy to Get" that tells the story of Myst and gives a lot of back story to the Valkyrie clan. Reading Hunger Like No Other first confused me at times because I didn't understand the characters and their actions but once I went back and read the short story, it all came together. Excellent short story, don't skip it! ***

This is the first book from Ms. Kresley Cole that I read, and I instantly fell in love with her writings. I went and bought all the other Immortals After Dark Series that are available and all of them have proved to be fantastic reads.
Although some readers have mentioned that they did not like the idea of fated "mates" I find that Ms. Cole made the idea merely a way for the characters to meet and get to know each other. When it comes to subjects such as "fated mates" and "love at first sight"," it is generally easy for authors to fall in to the trap of not being able to explain/show why or how the two became so deeply in love with each other. However, this is not the case with Ms. Cole. As much as the two characters are destined to be together, and insticts did urge Lachlain to "protect" and "provide" his female, the emotional attraction between the two was never left out. By the end of the story, you will not have questions as to why they were so deeply in love with each other.
The character development of both Lachlain and Emmaline were great too. As much as Lachlain is an alpha male, and that he is very dominating in personality, he never overpowered the existance of Emmaline. In fact, with her being so timid, she personality stood out as much as the dominatign Lachlain did. Her change towards the end of the novel was also something that made her a very unique character. She was never annoying and stupid that you'll think she's too dumb to exist, nor was she ever so strong and stubborn that you'll want to kill her off just so the story can keep moving along. All in all, by the end of the novel, I've fallen in love with both of the characters and couldn't wait to see more of them in the books later on the series.

This is a nice change from just werewolves or vampires. This covers all the other's. With that said, I think there should have been another book before this one telling about how it all began. Each has their own stories, but they are still one family.
