This review is from: Hungry Spirits (Paperback)

Keiko is a university student just trying to get through her classes and blend in. There is only one thing stopping her; Keiko has a gift that allows her to see and talk to ghosts, among other things. The ghosts and demons know this and have been attacking her since childhood to get access to her gift. Naturally, Keiko now is on the look out for any and all ghosts or demons, and tries to avoid them.

Ryudo is an ancient samurai guardian spirit, or house ghost, to an old and respected family. He has been with them for many years and has grown stronger as the years have gone on. While keeping an eye on a group of students getting a tour, he realizes that one of the students, a young girl, can see him and even talk to him. Ryudo decides he wants to know her more and makes her get lost, unable to rejoin her group. After he talks Keiko into some tea, he figures out her gift and seduces her. Ryudo, there and then, decides he wants to keep her.

Kentoru is the only son and heir to a corporate empire. He meets Keiko when her class tours his house and his house guardian waylays her. Upon locating Keiko, Kentoru helps her get away from Ryudo and return home. Although he would love to get to know her better, Kentoru ignores the attraction, knowing that he is already going to pay a price from Ryudo for helping her. Kentoru quickly learns that he has underestimated Ryudo's need for Keiko.

Keiko goes through many trials and scrapes while getting a hold of her life. It turns out that she is betrayed at every angle, and she must keep fighting to keep her head up. She finds the only good thing is that she keeps running into Kentoru and Ryudo at her lowest points. Keiko is beginning to fall for both of them, which causes her to question her beliefs. The mutual passion that exists between the three of them lends the trio strength, and helps them overcome their enemies.

Hungry Spirits is one of the longer e-books, which Ms. Hawke has divided into smaller books. The expression of the ménage scenes is extremely well written with eroticism. Unfortunately, I found the long, wandering plot, and the many types of genres written into it, overshadowed the better parts of the story. I found these problems very distracting, and made it extremely difficult to get into this story. While I enjoy paranormal stories, I found that Hungry Spirits just was not the book for me.

Such a great story-telling author! I was lost in a world of Japanese anime filled with ghosts and mages. Love it! The connections between the characters and the steamy scenes were hot! Great read!

Very interesting plot, with lots of HOT sex scenes! Fully developed characters development and people who doesn't mind reading trio would love the Happily Ever After. Highly recomended.
