ETERNAL CRAVING

Author: Nina Bangs ISBN: 9780843957938 5/2009 PARANORMAL Publisher: DORCHESTER

THE ELEVEN—an alliance of ultimate predators. Primal, lethal, irresistible. THE PROPHECY—an ancient Mayan prediction that the world will end on 12-21-12. THE PREY—where can you hide from pure evil? Lies. He’s been promised a new life as the hunter he once was. But Al soon learns that all the rules have changed. Now he must control his most basic urges—the need to kill, to feed, to mate. And the woman he wants looks at him with both heat and fear in her eyes. Jenna Maloy doesn’t buy the story that he’s come to Philadelphia to save souls. She seems to see through the layers of deception to the primitive heart of him. With her beside him, Al stalks the dark forces that crouch in the city’s night shadows. But the real battle rages in his heart. Love is a formidable opponent. How can he ask her to stay with him after she’s seen the savagery of his beast? He only knows that if she turns from him he’ll be cursed with an Eternal Craving. Eleven Gods of the Night… The only creatures more deadly are the ones they’ve been summoned to destroy.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

It has been awhile since I last read a Nina Bangs book, but I remember the last one as being over-the-top funny with lots of sexual chemistry and great characters. Well, in ETERNAL CRAVING we get two of the three-great characters and TONS of sexual chemistry.

It's not that ETERNAL CRAVING is not funny—it has its funny moments—but it's so much more intense than the other Nina Bangs books I'm used to reading. It is fierce, action-packed, and kept me fidgeting in my seat the entire time! I couldn't wait to see how it all worked out... and seriously, any book that has eleven men that are all not only Alpha males but also prehistoric predators in too-gorgeous-to-be-real bodies, is just my kinda bag.

I loved Al. He is such a great tortured hero... I'm all about the brooding men, don't ask me why. Jenna truly completes him with her spunky attitude and larger-than-life personality. If I had to be in a room with any of these men for five minutes, I might stare a little and then head for the hills all the while screaming like a banshee... but Jenna not only hangs tough, she talks back;, she demands respect and she wins them over! Go Jenna!

ETERNAL CRAVING is book two in Nina Bang's Gods of The Night series, and I seriously hope that all eleven of these gorgeous, dreamy men get spunky women of their own! I know one thing for sure—I will be there to watch every single story play out. This is one series that is absolutely NOT to be missed!
