"Dark Hunger is a paranormal treat to be savored!"

From the Back Cover
Tessa Noble-Davenant will do anything to protect her brother, Brandon, even if that means traveling across the country with Rene Morin. A cynical, brooding, yet startling sexy vampire, Rene seems to take pleasure in finding fault with Tessa's every move. Despite this, a sensual attraction begins to develop between the two, one to which neither can afford to succumb. Rene and Tessa are being followed -- and a single misstep will put them at the mercy of forces more dark and powerful than they can even imagine...

Book with a cliffhanger ending
I won't go into the story line ...

Dark Hunger is Book 2 of the Brethen series, and you could get away with starting with this one, but reading book 1, Dark Thirst, helps with a lot of the background. Also Brandon and Lina, are in this one quite a bit and having their background will be helpful.

This book picks up where that one left off.

This story is Brandon's twin sister Tessa and and Rene, Lina's old partner. I enjoyed this one as much as the first one... it's another unique story (with Brandon being a deaf-mute and Lina being African American and Brandon's white) ... In this book, Rene is an amputee, Tessa was abused by her husband. It's finding out that you can love someone else and they'll love you for who you are.

The ending bothered me a bit ... it just didn't seem right, what happened with the one character I think is really what bothered me. Frankly I didn't see it coming,and maybe that's what bothered me.

It put a nice twist at the end ... a cliffhanger. And will be a great lead in to the 3rd book in the series (I hope there's a third book in the series)... I really want to get these questions answered.

Recommended Read!
Rene Morin and Tessa Davenant have led very different lives. While both are vampires, Rene had a human mother and was raised to live as a human. Tessa, on the other hand, grew up in the sheltered Brethren world, secluded from the rest of the world. The two are thrown together to protect Tessa's brother, Brandon Noble (see DARK THIRST for more details), from the Elders of the Brethren. Fleeing across the country, will they give in to the attraction between them or will the darkness claim them both?

Wow! Sara Reinke's sequel to DARK THIRST is a stunner! DARK HUNGER picks up right where the first book left off and instantly delves into the dark world of the vampire. I would highly suggest reading DARK THIRST first, however, as the storylines intertwine with an ongoing story arc. One word of caution to readers who want their stories wrapped up neatly: DARK HUNGER leaves with one heck of a cliffhanger! I can only hope that Sara Reinke's next book is coming out soon so I can find out what happens next as the wait is killing me!

Rene is a dark, brooding hero. His actions aren't always "right" and he can be cantankerous at times. But as his history unfolds, it is hard not to fall in love with this Alpha male! His tenderness towards Tessa as her secrets are revealed is touching, even endearing. Tessa's inner strength is also admirable and I cannot praise Sara Reinke enough for addressing such tough issues with her characters. Both Rene and Tessa have obstacles in their lives and Ms Reinke addresses these issues with great sensitivity and realism.

DARK HUNGER is easily a keeper on my shelves! Sara Reinke adds a much needed touch of darkness to the genre as the story borders on dark fantasy. Fans looking for a story they can truly sink their teeth (pun intended) into will thoroughly enjoy DARK HUNGER. Highly recommended!

Vampire Thriller
Gripping, intense, fast pased. I could'nt read it fast enough. Suprising, unexpected ending. I'm looking forward to the sequel. I recommend reading the Dark Thirst first. One of my favorite new paranormal authors.
