I received this book as a prize from Anya Bast's blog.
This is the first Juliana Stone book I have read. His Darkest
Hunger is a shifter suspense story. The first 120 pages or so cover
the back story for the book and in my opinion should have been
edited down. I found there was a lot of repetition that just did
not need to be there. It also caused confusing for the Libby/Jaxon
relationship. First he hates her, then she hates him. I found them
wishy washy. The suspense portions of the book were where Stone
really excelled. When she got into the groove of the suspense plot
I was riveted. The underlying story was good. Libby and Jaxon are
on the hunt for the men that kidnapped and tortured her for three
years. They also stole something much more important from Libby
that may just destroy her. His Darkest Hunger had all the right
elements and parts of the book are great, but wading through the
rest made for slow going overall. The ending had a couple of really
great twists to it that I did not see coming - which I loved - and
it does end in a cliff hanger. I think Stone has great potential in
the suspense genre and I will be giving His Darkest Embrace a try.
