Eternal Hunger

Mark of the Vampire Series, Book 1

By: Laura Wright

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

In the dark, fear and desire are one.... Alexander Roman wants nothing to do with the controlling rulers of his vampire breed or the family he escaped from a hundred years ago. But as a new threat to the pureblood vampires emerges, Alexander's ties to the past are forced upon him again, and without warning, he finds himself - disoriented, terrified, and near death - at the door of a stranger.

Dr. Sara Donahue is dedicated to removing the traumatic memories of her patients - like those of the stranger at her front door. But what he tells her of his past is too astonishing to believe. Yet she has seen his flesh scarred by the sun and witnessed his inhuman strength. And never before has she felt so connected to a man.... But as their worlds collide, Sara and Alexander are bound by something stronger, as one becomes hunter and the other, prey.

Critic reviews

"Wright launches a powerful series with a rich mythology, page-turning tension, and blistering sensuality." ( Publishers Weekly)

i hunger for more

I hunger for more, if you love Larrisa Ione books then you will love this book and the narrator was great i just wish it was longer for it to be 8 hour the price should be 17.46 but what can i say i love it anyway and so will you

Give this series a try!!

I had not heard of this author but I love the narrator Tavia Gilbert. She is one of my favorite narrators, she does the Cat and Bones books which is one of my all time favorite series so I took a chance on this series and I am glad I did.

Again, another twist on the typical vampire history. I really like these characters and I like that during each book to get to know more characters and their stories but still get follow along with past characters.

I recommend the entire series!! I love finding a new series. I am always afraid after I finish a good series I am not going to find another as good as the last. It is nice to find a new twist.

RIVETING

Loved it! It was an intense thrill ride, even the second time I listened to it!!

Entertaining. Tavia Gilbert!!

What did you like best about Eternal Hunger? What did you like least?

Tavia Gilbert!!! The best parts, the characters, the story moved along, was easy to follow the story and characters. I doubt I will listen to more of her books because of the two C words. She should listen to Jeanine Frost and Discovery of Witches for advice on great sex scenes without being so crude. All her sex scenes did was make me cringe. Also the end was good but could have been handled less gooey.

If you’ve listened to books by Laura Wright before, how does this one compare?

This was the first.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Tavia Gilbert is the sole reason I bought this book. She is the main saving grace. She makes you want to know more about the characters and guess their true self. She rocks!

Did Eternal Hunger inspire you to do anything?

Clean house.

Any additional comments?

There is room for development of the two brothers, Dylan, and the not mate.

An entertaing listen with great narration

What did you love best about Eternal Hunger?

The interesting story and good character development. this book follows in some of my favorite series, Jenifer Frost Grave series is the best example. It is not as good as hers but it is worth listening to and I will pick up the 2nd in the series.

Any additional comments?

Tavia Gilbert does another exceptional job narrating the story, which was interesting but it took two chapters for me to get into. I do recommend this if you like the Cat and Bones series.

Not bad

I struggled to finish this one. I felt that it blended in with the other vampire books I've read. not bad though!!

Saucy, Sexy & Steamy!!

I'm one who carefully reads each review in hopes of getting some good insight before spending a credit, so I did my research on this book. I bought it because of the good reviews but especially because one reviewer said it was similar to Jeaniene Frost's work (cat & bones). I have to respectfully disagree. This is a good book though, but I think I might be a tad biased because I absolutely LOVE Frost's books.
Anyway, back on track... This is a start of a really good series, it has all the elements of a good para romance. Tortured guy, angst filled woman all that builds slowly but oh so sexy and steamy into a good read. I must admit I was not prepared for the sex scenes but they were great! This author wrote just enough to make it steamy and sexy without shoving everything in the readers face. I am moving on to book 2 and I definitely RECOMEND this book for all followers of the para rom genre. It also has a very good cliff hanger for the next book. And of course Tavia Gilbert did an excellent job with narration, boy does she have range and talent. I thought by reading this book I might have a bad taste in my mouth about it because Gilbert narrates Frost's books as well but to my surprise and delight, she had completely diff voices for the characters in this book.
HAPPY READING!

I like to put some of my fav authors down for people to read because that is how I find new authors and books to read so here ya go.

Jeaniene Frost - everything
J.R. Rain (Samantha moon series) pararom
Molly Harper everything
Sherrilyn Kenyon (Chronicles of Nick) - I want to try dark hunter series but so many mixed reviews!!
Rachel Vincent (soul screamers)
Rachel Caine (morganville vampire)
Beautiful Creatures series
J.D. Robb (in death series) not paranormal but ohhh so good!

More of the same

Fine, entertaining but not outstanding. If you would like another book about a Vampire redeeming himself through the love of a good women... here it is.

Tavia Gilbert is one of the best narrators!
