Hunger Pangs

True Love Bites

De: Joy Demorra

Narrado por: Catherine Bilson

In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more....

Captain Nathan J. Northland had no idea what to expect when he returned home to Lorehaven injured from war, but it certainly wasn't to find himself posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he'd never felt before.

Particularly about fangs.

When Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as the captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn't been sure what to expect either, but it certainly hadn't been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. However, Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that's the problem.

Torn by their allegiance to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves, the pair find themselves in a difficult situation: whether to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands.

The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake. One thing is for certain: Nothing will ever be the same.

Could not stop listening

I've been eagerly awaiting the audio book for this series. I am so excited to say I was not disappointed. The author's choice in Voice is perfect. Cathering Bilson has a lovely voice that manages to land squarely between male and female roles. I could not stop listening, and usually I reserve audio books to listen to while I work. For the story, I love the hints of dry humor, a hint of Terry Pratchett in how it comments on social issues. There's something so human to all the characters, be it their personalities, and their flaws. I also loved the casual way disability aids are handled as though it's just normal. Something that other authors would use as a pain/woe point the author uses as just a facet of the person. I am so excited to see where the story goes in the next book, and everyone in my life is sick of how excitedly I've been talking about this book. I've even gone to my friend that writes papers about queer fiction to yell at her about the bisexuality and disabled representation. I reupped my audible membership solely to buy this book.

Amazing story meets amazing narration

My only complaint is that I didn't want it to end. But alas it had to. This book scratched an itch that hasn't been scratched in years! I sincerely wish this book never ended! I need more and eagerly await the next one! Finally, I would listen to C Bilson narrate the phonebook. Bi4Bi4Bi and so hot it's on fire, paired with that voice. Try to avoid listening to the steamier scenes while driving.

love love love

this book is so much fun to listen to and the story is one I can't wait to hear more of.

A good book, just feels a little incomplete

Overall, a fun listen and a breath of fresh air after some very long and torturously bad books in my library.

I heard about this book because it was recommended to me as a polyromantic novel. The summary seemed to reflect this as well, so I was a bit confused for the first hour or so until I realised that it was more “gay monogamous romance with flirty remarks towards a third”

I enjoyed the experience of listening to this. I think it was worth the time to listen to and to buy, but it felt a touch incomplete in terms of the plot. While the story being told is coherent and comes to a resolution, there are still several unanswered questions and plot threads.

With that said, I’m rating at 4 stars because it seems likely that this is the first in a series, and those threads will be tied up in the future.

I love this book so much

really and truly love this story so much that I have it across various mediums. paperback. ebook. and now finally I have my hands on the human read audiobook version!

maybe now I can get my partner to listen to it as well since she has ADHD and reading the book and listening to a robotic voice read versions! I truly know she'd be enamored with it as much as I do 💙
