PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Publication date: 12/19/2014
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I’m a big fan of this author. If you don’t believe me, check out my reviews of Blood Choice and Blood Submission. I also added her to our list of crazy-talented paranormal romance indie authors everyone should be reading. I read Blood Hunger back in 2014 when it was first released (with a different cover, and a different blurb), so when I heard that the book had recently been professionally re-edited and a new ending (and some other new stuff) had been added, I downloaded right away. (Did I mention it’s also free? BONUS!) Overall, I’m really glad I gave this one another read. ​
All the stuff I loved about Blood Hunger is still in place. The plot’s unique (which is HUGE in paranormal romance). The pacing is quick and sufficiently action-y. The sexual chemistry between Nik and Emma is super hot. While I read the parts that are written in Nik’s point of view, I still picture Charlie Hunnam in my head. Nik’s bromance with Aiden is still freakin’ adorable and hilarious. Scottish werewolves. Yum.
Charlie Hunnam
So, what’s different, you ask? Mostly what’s different, I guess, is a certain sense of...polish. Authors get better and better the more books they write. They hone their craft with every book that’s released. Blood Hunger was LE Wilson’s first book. It was great, but there’s a professional, experienced-writer’s shine to it now that didn’t exist before. In 2014, you would’ve read Blood Hunger and thought, now there's an author with a lot of potential. Now, that potential has been fully realized.  

The ending is also a little different. I won’t give anything away, but I’ll admit that there’s a certain point in the new ending that had me wanting to throat-chop Nik. But I understood why he did what he did, and his actions made sense, so I’m cutting Nik (and the author) some slack on this point. Emma’s self-doubts also grated on my nerves after a while, but it didn’t really hurt my overall enjoyment of the story. 
Long-story-short, this was a book worth reading 4 years ago, and it’s even better now. (And did I mention it’s free?) Humor, sexy times, fated mates, Scottish werewolves, thrills and chills, and the best bromance since Riggs and Murtaugh--Blood Hunger has a little something for every PNR fan. It’s definitely worth a 1-click.
Does this book contribute to or help crush the romance stigma?
This one’s clean and sober. No rehab needed. 

Other reading suggestions
Check out the author’s backlist. When you’re done there, check out Isabel Jordan. Her series is a favorite of ours and recently became available as a box set that’ll save you about half of what you’d pay for the books separately.
