'Demon's Hunger' is a sizzling, high-tension and extremely entertaining romance novel! BCM

Demon's Hunger is a really creative and thrilling paranormal romance novel. The story is refreshingly unique with electrifying and imaginative plot twists that leave you with a feeling of intense satisfaction. The pacing is excellent with a smooth flow that surges into the magical and sexual confrontations between darkness and light. The characters are very likable; each with their own story and fascinating personality. The romantic pull between Vivien and Dain is so exquisitely written and with such vivid detail that it leaves no doubt about this Author's skill and talent. I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope to read and review more from Eve Silver, very soon. I highly recommend this book!

An excellent blending of Romance and Dark Urban Fantasy

I am a big fan of Eve Kenin's award winning SHOMI futuristic romances so when the publisher sent me the latest Eve Silver dark fantasy paranormal romance (same author, different name) my reaction was YES!!!!!! I was not disappointed. This is the second book in the Compact of Sorcerers series and there were references to the earlier story but no so much that the book couldn't stand on its own. I will definitely be picking up the first book, DEMON'S KISS, right away though. Vivian Cairn had a lot of personal baggage. Her father had abandoned the family when she was two, her mother was at best indifferent, and her high school boyfriend had died tragically following an argument between the two of them. But Vivian had taken her lemons and made lemonade becoming a highly respected forensic pathologist who gave other families closure. Lately though she has begun to suspect she was losing her mind. Recently she had begun losing significant chucks of time and had no memory of where she'd been or what she'd done during the blackouts. It had just happened again right before her doorbell rang. Dain Hawkins is member of the Compact of Sorcerers, long lived magical beings whose responsibility it was to maintain the integrity of the barrier between the human and demon realms. Recently Dain's mentor had betrayed the group and now was in league with a demon. The Compact had recently closed a demon in the portal between worlds, but a charred foot bone had remained on the human side. Dain needed Vivian's help to analyze the bone. Upon arriving, Dain and his two comrades detect the presence of Hybrids in the area surrounding Vivian's home. While the other two sorcerers do reconnaissance, Dain speaks to Vivian. He notices that she has a small collection of red velvet gris gris backs similar to ones he and his friends had taken off of other Hybrids. The Compact suspects that a plot is afoot to reanimate a long deceased demon summoner in order to bring the demon back through the portal. The contents of the bags may provide a clue. Vivian is stunned by the affect Dain has on her. Her libido had been non existent since the death of her high school boyfriend but now she was ready to jump a total stranger. Truly she was losing her mind. Before Dain can get all the answers he needs, Vivian is attacked by a demon. The demon is thwarted but Vivian's house is burned to the ground. Dain is shocked by his reaction to Vivian which appears to be as strong as hers to him. He has baggage of his own having loved and his human wife and child to a demon attack many years ago. He has no intention of making that mistake again, but nevertheless shocks his friends with his possessiveness with regard to Vivian He will allow no one to watch over her but himself. Try though they both might to deny their feelings, their desire for one another is undeniable and insatiable. Supernatural activity of the evil variety seems to be stalking Vivian dividing Dain's attention between her prot

Worth Waiting For

A recommended read. I've been waiting quite a while for this book to come out and I have to say that it's well worth the wait. In fact it's even better than the first. Be sure that you have a little extra time when you start reading it because there is no way that you'll want to put it down for quite some time. This is a fun,sexy, and action packed book that could be read as a stand-alone but I'm pretty sure that if you haven't already, you're going to want to go back and read Demon's Kiss... Dr. Vivien Cairn is afraid that she may be losing her mind, for some time now she has been blacking out and losing hours at a time with no knowledge of where she's been or what she's done. Things only get worse when she opens the door to find a sexy stranger standing there. Within a matter of moments Vivien is attacked by a demon and finds herself on the run with only the powerful Sorcerer Dain Hawkins standing between her and an unspeakable evil...

A masterfully crafted suspense that keeps you guessing until the end

Forensic anthropologist Vivien Cairn has a problem. For weeks, she's been "losing" time, blacking out for periods and waking up without knowledge of where she's been or what she's done. Her problems only increase when a series of murders implicate her and supernatural forces target her. Her only hope? Dain Hawkins, a sorcerer sworn to protect humanity from those bent on its destruction. Rescue has never been so attractive...or dangerous. Centuries ago, Dain lost his wife and child to his enemies. Love made him vulnerable, and he swore never to take that risk again-until he met Vivien. Their attraction is instant, potent and undeniable. Together they must uncover the real killer and the mystery behind Vivien's blackouts before their enemies strike again. I received an advanced reading copy of this book and really enjoyed it. Masterfully written and cleverly plotted, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat until its stunning climax. Although it is part of a series, "Demon's Hunger" stands alone. Ms. Silver has definitely found her niche in paranormal romantic suspense. Kudos to her for creating a world that draws readers in, as well as making three dimensional characters that are at times vulnerable, at other times dangerous yet endearing. I look forward to reading her future projects in this world.

Woweee! What a GREAT book and series!!

I LOVED this book!! There is action, strong heroines, hunky macho guys, great humor, the fight between good and evil and lot's of romance!! What more could anyone ask for?? When Vivien tossed her slipper, I snorted so loud I woke the Hubby and cat! And that was at the beginning! I really enjoyed the way Eve wrote the way Vivien and Dain worked together. And I liked how she made Vivien strong but needing help from, and wanting to help, Dain and the brotherhood. Dain appears to be the ultimate strong hero, but he has such a heartbreaking story for why he tries to keep from engaging his feelings. Both characters were well written with great depth and feeling. And the supporting characters were just as interesting!! I CAN'T wait to read the future stories of Darqun, Javier and Baunn!! GREAT book and GREAT series!!
