5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun to read, easy to get involved in and always satisfying!, December 29, 2009
This review is from: Eternal Hunter (Paperback)
Eternal Hunger by Cynthia Eden
Paranormal Romance- Dec. 29th, 2009
4 1/2 stars
In Eternal Hunger Cynthia Eden returns to her super sexy shifters! I love her shifter romances and this book did not disappoint. It grabbed me from the first page and did not stop! Cynthia Eden's paranormal world is complex and absorbing. If you are already a fan of her books you will have to purchase this book to add to your collection. If you are a new reader, be prepared for a fun, smooth read.
This story starts with Jude Donovan, a tough no-nonsense bounty hunter who ALWAYS gets his prey. But his latest capture brings with it trouble packaged in the new, ultra attractive Assistant D.A., Erin Jerome. All of a sudden he is bent on hunting an all together different type of quarry. Jude immediately senses something different about Erin and his inner animal wants her for his alone.
But Erin is no easy prey. She has sworn off shifters of any sort in her life. Erin is deceptively strong and no one even a shifter is going to push her around. Even if he does have a rough sort of charm that she finds attractive. Starting afresh in a new town, the last thing she wants are any complications. Which means keeping a low profile. And she knows a shifter will just bring her trouble. Unfortunately, her past and Jude's collide as Erin is targeted and Jude becomes her bodyguard. But Erin's ultimate test is taking the final risk and believing in herself.
This book was sheer pleasure from start to finish. Cynthia Eden is one of my favorite authors. I am hooked by her series because each of her books reveals something new about her world and her characters are always sympathetic and likeable. It is difficult to describe how enjoyment I feel every time I read one her books. Her ability to write a fast paced novel that is: fun to read, easy to get involved in and always satisfying. The mystery behind the Erin's past and a string of murders are engrossing, as unexpected changes make for a thrilling and riveting read. The engaging characters are genuine and extraordinary and I often felt a part of the story. Along with Jude there is a cast of his bounty hunter colleagues who I hope will be making appearances of their own.
I loved this story and look forward to her next book with great anticipation!

3.0 out of 5 stars
It was okay, but..., July 2, 2010
This review is from: Eternal Hunter (Paperback)
This is the second book I've read by this author (I downloaded both as Kindle freebies). It was a little better than the first, but the author still has problems with her dialogue. Her plot idea was good, and her pacing was okay, but the problems with dialogue took me out of the story too often and ruined the tension. Another reviewer mentioned that she tends to use the same words a lot. The previous reviewer cited it was during sex scenes, but I notice that it's repetitive in other places, too. The characters all tend to start sounding/talking alike by the end of the book, with the dialogue sounding awkward and immature in places. If the author could fix those problems (really get into the minds of her characters and make sure each is speaking with a distinct voice), I think her books could really shine.

Grrrrrrooooowwwwwlllllll!, January 6, 2010
This review is from: Eternal Hunter (Paperback)
So good to have another Other story by Cynthia Eden. This one is super sexy with a tiger shift cajun bounty hunter--all those together should just be enough to make someone go right over the edge! Jude is super delicious. But in a nice twist we also meet Erin--a very alpha female! Jude and Erin work together to find and stop the man stalking her--and what a creep this guy is too! Killing men or people who have hurt her in some way as a gift to her--ug!
I loved the back story of Erin and Ben--the detective she had to walk away from. I hope someday Ben gets his own story in the Other World, despite his fault of being human! Even better was the story of Erin and her estrangement with her mother. You want to dislike this mother so much but realize she's always been watching an eye out for Erin and even protecting her when she needs it most.
In this story we meet the crew of Night Watch, a bounty hunter outfit--hopefully we'll get stories for all the delicious employees--Zane and Dee.
What I loved about this story besides Jude (why oh why can't there really be tiger shifter cajun bounty hunter's?) was Erin's strength. She is all woman, small and beautiful, yet fierce and holding her own much of this story.
It's that beautiful strength that ultimately saves both her and Jude which is a nice touch.
This story is a great whodunit--surpising twists and turns right until the very end.
I love all of Cynthia Eden's books and find myself enthralled with her Other world.
