After 150 years of hellish torture at the hands of the vampire horde, Lachlain, king of the Lykae (werewolf) clan, escapes his captors. He's disoriented and full of hatred, and yet he finds the mate he's been longing for for 1200 years in a small, delicate vampire. Desperate to find information on her parents, Emmaline Troy, a timid, overprotected half vampire/ half valkyrie, had travelled to Paris away from the protection of her valkyrie aunts for the first time in her young life (she's only 70), but she manages to be kidnapped by a raging Lykae who's tender to her one minute, though-if he is reminded she's a vampire-furious the next…
Hunger Like No Other - Kresley Cole
Emmaline, a gentle beauty is the youngest of the valkyrie who, to her shame, has a vampire father. She has been isolated from most the outside world for 70 years at the hands of her well-meaning aunts. Emmaline finally decides to set out on her own to uncover the truth about her deceased parents. However, her plans are interrupted by Lachlan MacRieve.
Lachlain MacRieve, the rightful leader of the Lykae clan, has been enduring millennia of torture at the hands of the vampire horde. While still confined he senses his predestined mate is close. Having suffered at the hands of vampires, Lachlain is enraged to find his mate is a vampire.
Lachlain is unable to resist this small ethereal halfling who seems to be able to soothe his rage. He forces Emmaline back to his castle to retake his home and rightful place of leadership. Emmaline can not help but fall for him too, but how will her valkyrie family react to this union?
Will Emmaline find out what she set out to?
How did her parents die?
When an ancient evil from her past resurfaces, will Lachlain and Emmaline be able to stand together as the warriors they were born to be?
Believe me, you will not be able to put this book down until you know what happened to Emmaline's family. Halfway through this book, I turned to look at the clock and found it was time for me to get ready to start work, having no sleep as I was reading all night.
