Still not really enjoying the jaguar crossovers with this series, but fun nonethless.

I’m a fan of the Dark Series’ books. This comic book format is completely lacking in many areas, its awkward, characters have no depth (like in the books), and no real plot. The characters deserved better.

When I saw this on the discount table, I couldn't help myself since it was only $2. Regardless, it was hilarious to see the series as a manga. If you want a good laugh, then read this, though I'm not sure it was meant to be comedic. Guilty pleasure this series is, this manga version highlights the corny, cheesy moments.

This new edition of the Feehan novella has both the novella and the manga adaptation in one volume.
Look, it's been yeaaaars since I've read a Carpathian novel so the novella really doesn't make a lot of sense to someone who isn't familiar with the world. And the way the adaptation was made the manga isn't very good imo. The art is pretty throwaway.
Feehan's reason for having the manga adaptation is a good one, but I wish it was done better.

This is the first of Christine Feehan's books that I've read, so it served as my introduction to the Carpathians, who are like vampires but not quite. It was engaging, so I finished the book fairly quickly, in one day. Riordan is gorgeous, if slightly feminine-looking (one aspect of manga that I'm still getting used to), and so is the spread of the leopards frolicking.

Book Summary:
Riordan is an immortal, often called the Carpathians. He's been captured, stuck into a cage, and forced to endure the unthinkable for his kind. He's lost his honor, and now they harvest his blood. All he dreams of is revenge.
Then there's Juliette, an activist and animal lover. Her passions put her in a situation to find Riordan, where she naturally feels inclined to free him immediately. But doing so will kick off a series of events that she could never have predicted.
My Review:
It's incredible how quickly a series can progress. I swear I blinked, and Christine Feehan wrote another ten books (exaggerating here, but it sure felt that way!). Dark Hunger is number 11.5 in her Dark series, perfect for paranormal romance fans.
Can I just say I love the variety of paranormal creatures Christine Feehan will write about? Dark Hunger delves (back) into the De La Cruz family. Specifically, it follows the youngest brother, Riordan.
Yes, it does have a heavy dose of insta-love, but that comes with the mate territory, so I'm not complaining. Honestly, the whole setup will likely make you swoon – especially if this is your favorite genre!
I should mention that Dark Hunger is a pretty quick read. It's only 100 pages, putting it solidly in the novella category. Still, it is so worth the read, especially for anyone who needs a bit more from this family.
Highlights:
Paranormal Romance
Steamy Paranormal
Thanks to Berkley and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
