Book Review: Dark Hunger by Christine Feehan (Manga edition)

Dark Hunger by Christine Feehan. © 2007 Berkley. ISBN 9780425217832. Trade Paperback. Manga/Graphic Novel. 208 pages. Source: copy was purchased by me from a thrift store

Synopsis: Riordan is an immortal Carpathian male, trapped and caged, his honor compromised by his captors. They’re in his mind. They’re in his blood. And not one can withstand his desire for revenge.

Juliette is an activist devoted to liberating animals from a secret jungle lab. What she stumbles upon is a prisoner like no other. She will release him from his bonds. He will release her from her inhibitions.

Review: I came across this book while I was living in Tennessee a few months ago and decided to give these immortal alpha-males another chance. I’ve had lots going on for the last few months and haven’t gotten around to reading this until now (having your power knocked out leaves you with lots of time…). Needless to say, I just can’t get into the Carpathian stories even in graphic novel format. I really can’t even articulate what it is about them I don’t like but something about them rubs me the wrong (high possibility of the whole “Me Tazan, You Jane, You now belong to me” feel to them) way so this will be my last attempt. However, I’m not bumping Feehan off my radar just yet. I have another title of hers, Hidden Currents, and I’ll wait to see how that goes first. 2/5.

    LOL! I adore the Feehan Carpathian series because of the me Tarazan you Jane thing ha ha ha and the last few books in the series the women are much much stronger in character and darker too (though me Tarazan you Jane still comes across lol).

    I’ve heard similar things about the series, which is why I’ve been hesitant to read them. I probably should still actually TRY to give them a go, I suppose…
