Bound and Unbound: A paranormal novella duology
Ali Hazelwood
by Kresley Cole
For fans of Ali Hazelwood’s Bride and Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series, an innocent young vampire and a powerful werewolf king are drawn together by an unexpected soul bond in the electrifying start to Kresley Cole’s New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series—now with a stunning new cover.
Half vampire, half Valkyrie, Emmaline spent her entire sheltered life hidden among the Lore in New Orleans surrounded by the loving, yet overbearing coven who raised her. All Emmaline Troy wanted was a trip to Paris –to investigate her parents’ mysterious deaths there all those years ago. And to finally have a small adventure and perhaps even a first kiss.
But one crowded city night, as she’s making her way down a street, she’s knocked off her feet by striking werewolf. He’s towering, intimidating, and has an infuriatingly seductive Scottish brogue. And he won’t let her go.
The Lykae King, Lachlain MacRieve, has been imprisoned in the catacombs beneath Paris for over a 150 years by his sworn Vampire enemies, but the scent of his Fated Mate on the streets above gives him the strength to finally escape from his subterranean prison. Lachlain has waited for Her for centuries, and the last thing he expects is the bewitching vampire mix who seems to want only to escape his grasp.
Yet he knows only she can soothe the fury within him and he’s determined to make her his by the next full moon.
As Lachlain convinces the hesitant but fiery Emma to accompany him to his ancestral home in Scotland, the pair will come up against ruthless creatures, ancient evil, and the irrevocable pull of Fate. Will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a warrior to his knees and turn Emma into the fighter she was born to be?

To say A Hunger Like No Other is the best adult paranormal romance I have ever read is a bit weighted since I have not read much in this genre. The reason for this is because I had two bad experiences with adult paranormal romance: Dark Lover by J.R. Ward and Sunshine by Robin McKinley. Both failed me miserably, and ever since, I have ignored this genre completely. The first read like soft-core porn and the second was just so boring. Therefore, when a friend recommended me A Hunger Like No...

Realistically I'd give this a 3.5 or 3.75 star rating if possible on this site - I thought the plot and character development were both interesting but because it's really more if an uber spicy book I don't think there was any monumental or epic story line to follow here. This book is definitely a 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 on the spice scale and the spice is great - if you're looking for good fantasy smut but also decent plot you'll find it here. My only issue is there's some non-consent vibes in the...

“A Hunger Like No Other” is book two in the series “Immortals After Dark.” It is a paranormal romance between the 1200-year-old Lykae King (werewolf), Lachlain, and a 70-year-old half-Valkyrie/half-Vampire, Emmaline. This is a story of love, redemption, revenge, and strength. I would rate the spice level of this book at 🌶🌶🌶.5 The Vampire Horde has tortured Lachlain, the Lykae king, for 150 years in the underground catacombs of Paris. When he smells his mate, a Lykae’s reason for being, he...

A tale as old as time- someone finds THE one then has to get the ONE who is THE one to come around to the idea. Of being The One. Kind of like...The Matrix but with spiritistic supernatural characters...that you don't really need any backstory on because they're all pretty familiar. Maybe a better analogy would be Cait and the Devil by Annabel Joseph or True Blood with a splash of whatever else you can imagine with even more side characters that matter even less than the frequent flashbacks....
