| When the news of Isabella’s death is reported to Count Dario Giovanni he knows it is a lie. She was sent to Countess Elizabeth Bathory’s home to learn how to run an estate and there was no conceivable way she had died in such a setting. Vowing to find out what truly happened to his sister Dario never imagines what nightmarish fate awaits him. Now walking the earth alone with only the woman in his dreams to comfort him for four hundred years he must vanquish the evil that has arisen again. Dario has made it his life’s work to kill the countess at any cost and also find the woman of his dreams.
The Hunger is a touching story of loss, love, and hope. Count Dario Giovanni is a man filled with a deep familial bond and need to protect those he loves. Even if to protect them he must sacrifice himself. Fortunately for Dario his sacrifice does not go unrewarded and he meets the woman he has dreamt of for as long as he can remember. A woman whose strength of character rivals his own and has the ability to love that surpasses those around him. This story is both filled with darkness and light and although it captured me from the beginning it is definitely not for the faint of heart. Ms. Black easily draws the reader into the past and keeps you enveloped in her world of vampirism through the centuries. Though she does relinquish her hold on you at the end of the book you are left wanting and needing more. I am keeping my hopes up that Ms. Black will continue her story in the near future.
