About this book

Siya Patel thought she had successfully escaped the dangerous, supernatural orbit of shifters and vampires. As a dedicated nurse, she focused on her human life, determined to bury the memory of Ram Warin, the enigmatic vampire who once toyed with her heart before pushing her away. She believed her brush with the paranormal was a finished chapter, until a terrified teenage shifter arrives at her hospital, dragging her back into a world of primal instincts and lethal secrets.

For Ram, the distance he once maintained was a necessary sacrifice, but seeing Siya again ignites a hunger he can no longer suppress. This final installment of the Forbidden series delivers a high-stakes paranormal romance defined by the fated mates trope and the delicious tension of forbidden love. As the lines between human and monster blur, the pair must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and life-or-death stakes.

Whether you are a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer seeking a steamy, action-packed escape, this book offers a pulse-pounding conclusion. It is a sexy, emotional journey that tests whether a human can truly be enough for a vampire, proving that even the most guarded hearts eventually succumb to a forbidden hunger.

All good things

August 24, 2021

This is one of the most difficult reviews I've ever had to write because this is a series I have loved so dearly and this installment has been the one I most anticipated. Siya is a character I relate to so deeply. She is an Indian woman living in the USA, far from family. Her best friend, half shifter Demi is the closest thing she has to family. Now that Demi and Saxon are mated, and Demi is a part of the shifter world, Siya doesn't get to see as much. She throws herself into work. One day, a...

So sad it's over...but it ended with a bang!

I have loved the Forbidden series and watching the world grow and expand has been amazing. But all good things must come to an end. And what an end this was! It was steamy and sweet and sexy and action-packed and everything ice come to expect from these ladies and this world. The chemistry between Siya and Ram was incredible, as was the chemistry between Chase, Ranulf, and Raven. The storylines were wrapped up and we got a satisfying conclusion. I'm sad to see it come to an end, but I'm excited...

Kimd of a Whimpering End

I just couldn't do 5 stars. The lack of communication between each romantic grouping and the 3 sentence tie up of all loose ends was just too ridiculous. I'm happy about who ended up with whom, but this was not a good way to end an enjoyable series. The character development in each book was flat and dialog frequently stilted. )

Perfect End For The Series

September 26, 2021

Forbidden Hunger is book 8 and the final book of the Forbidden series. It wrapped everything up but still left more wanting more. There's so much more that could be done with the characters. This series has been a favorite from the beginning. It's a shame there won't be more books in the series. Hopefully one day the authors will turn to what they do best and write more paranormal stuff. Always hate to see someone move away from the thing that made their name known. Wish them the best though. )

Romance & Action 4 ½ stars

This is Siya and Ram’s story as well as Raven, Ranulf and Chase’s story. It also has the conclusion to the human/shapeshifter trafficking ring. I wish there was more background story to Ranulf, Chase and Ram. I like Raven’s character. She is very strong. I’m not too thrilled with Siya’s decision but her connection to Emery drives the story. The story is full of action and excitement. )
