Highland Hunger

McNachton Vampires, Book 6

De: Hannah Howell, Michele Sinclair, Jackie Ivie

Narrado por: Jayne Entwistle

The shadowy caves and caverns of the Scottish Highlands prove the perfect background for three "fun paranormal historical tales" (SFF Chronicles).

Dark Embrace by Hannah Howell: While searching for his clan's demon Lost Ones, Raibeart MacNachton encounters an ethereal beauty running for her life. The decision to play hero is easy; fighting the urge to ravish the enchanting Una Dunn is more difficult - especially when Raibeart learns they share a powerful connection.

The Guardian by Michele Sinclair: The immortal Dorian vows never to fall in love with a mere human - until he meets the beguiling, arousing Moirae Deincourt. She stirs a longing in Dorian that he dares not quench. But when Moirae's life is put in danger, her true nature is revealed - and the lust that rages between them can no longer be controlled....

A Knight Beyond Black by Jackie Ivie: Vampire Iain Duncan MacAvee has stepped forward to claim the woman he betrothed years ago - only to learn that the tempting Lady Tira knows nothing of the engagement. Though Tira feigns disinterest, the Duke's animal-like charisma has unleashed her most carnal desires - a hunger only Iain can satisfy....

Contains mature themes.

Very very enjoyable

The three stories are very enjoyable but the first and last stories should have further written to follow up on the loose ends.

Not great but good

Hannah Howell's books never disappoint nor did this one! Michele Sinclair's was ok and worth a listen. Jackie Ivie's was a little difficult as the MFC was not very likable and by the end the MMC who starts as fairly strong and likable ends up coming across as weak. At no point in history was a 21 year old woman considered a spinater. However even if the age was raised to 25 the MFC is so unlikeable it doesn't matter. I'll skip this most definitely one when I reread this book. If you decide to skip after Hannah Howell's, skip to chapter 27 for Michele Sinclair's

Just So-So

I expected the second two stories to have more substance to them like some of the other multi-story books of this series. Instead, they left too many questions unanswered. The hero in the second story was also disappointing as the author gave him a rather “pouty” character. He was always moping and worried about himself, which cast him as awkward and unattractive, in my opinion.

Least favorite of the collections

I’ve really enjoyed all the stories in this series till this book. Hannah Howell’s story was another great addition to the series but the other 2 didn’t fit into the Mcnaughton world. I didn’t really like them even as separate stories.
