4.0 out of 5 stars
4 1/2 stars- combines horror, the paranormal and mystery into a book that is well worth the wait, November 25, 2008
This review is from: Demon's Hunger (Mass Market Paperback)
Demon's Hunger by Eve Silver Paranormal Romance Mass Market Paperback - November 25, 2008 4 ½ stars Eve Silver, once again, returns to the fantastic world of sorcerers protecting humans from bloodthirsty demons. She seamlessly combines horror, the paranormal and mystery into a book that is well worth the wait. For those who love her gothic romance, I highly recommend this book as it has many of the same elements to thrill and keep you in suspense. I know I was really thrown at the end. Plus you are sure to love her fascinating paranormal world! Vivien thinks she is loosing her mind as she begins to discover that large blocks of time are missing from her memory. What has she done? Where has she been? She believes she is going mad. When the mysterious Dain visits her, she becomes suspicious of his plea for help and her highly unusual attraction to him. Especially since soon after his arrival she is suddenly attacked by demons. Dain is a sorcerer who has lived centuries. He needs Vivien's knowledge as a forensic anthologist to track down a serial killer. The problem is, he can't keep his mission separate from his desire for her. Dain's past has left him wary of love. Since then he has only been comfortable with 2 goals: magic and vengeance. When demons attack Vivien, Dain knows that Vivian is safest with him and he finds himself wanting to protect her. As both seek to unravel the mystery of Vivien's memory gaps, explore their explosive passion and hunt down a serial killer they are drawn towards a chilling path neither expects. Eve Silver has written a fascinating tale with characters I grew to love. If you enjoy thrillers, the paranormal, strong characters and unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat... then THIS is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Woweee! What a GREAT book and series!!, November 30, 2008
This review is from: Demon's Hunger (Mass Market Paperback)
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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars
romance that left me guessing until the last page and looking for a sneak peek into the next installment, February 5, 2009
This review is from: Demon's Hunger (Mass Market Paperback)
Vivien Cairn has buried herself in her work to help keep her mind off the fact that she blacks out for hours at a time and suddenly has a raging libido. When she wakes up after a twelve-hour time lapse, there's a very tall, very sexy man at her doorstep claiming they spoke the night before about a mysterious charm bag. Her already sensitive libido kicks into overdrive, demanding she take him, but a demon attack in her basement thwarts any hopes of a tumble in the sheets. After the Ancient's betrayal, Dain Hawkins is more determined than ever to protect the realm of man and annihilate any demon that crosses his path. He has lost everything dear to him and erected an ice cold layer around his heart, but one look at forensic anthropologist Viven Cairn has him melting in his boots. She exhibits bizarre behavior that may link her to a series of demonic killings, making her off-limits, but Dain can't help but fall for her. If she proves to be tied to his sworn enemy, will he be able to fulfill his duty, or will he be forced to betray his brotherhood? Demon's Hunger by Eve Silver began at a slow, leisurely pace. Midway through, everything changed. I wasn't able to put the book down, wrapped up in the mystery and suspense of finding the serial killer and figuring out what was wrong with Vivien. In serial books like these, the heroes and heroines are often interchangeable from one book to the next. This wasn't the case for Dain and Vivien. Dain is such a dynamic hero, dark but not dismal, brooding but not depressing, and Vivien was quirky and intelligent without being too naïve. The only reason I give Demon's Hunger 4 tombstones instead of 5 was the overuse of occupational jargon. It distracted from the plot and made me reread passages to understand what was going on. Even with this snag, I thoroughly enjoyed the novel. It was an emotional romance that left me guessing until the last page and looking for a sneak peek into the next installment. Hopefully this isn't the last we'll see of the Compact of Sorcerers. Reviewed at Bitten by Books Paranormal Fiction Review Site by Jackie
