Hunger Untamed by Pamela Clare
For a thousand years she has haunted him—Ariana, Queen of the linas, a beauty of mist and light. His love, his life mate . . . Kougar believed her lost to him forever, until the truth of her stunning betrayal left him bitter and hungry for revenge. Now she alone holds the power to save two trapped and desperate Feral Warriors.

Ariana, caught in a deadly battle of her own, is neither the soulless creature Kougar believes her to be nor the savior he seeks.

And when darkness threatens to annihilate both races, the greatest danger of all becomes the glorious love Kougar and Ariana once shared. A love that must never rise again. A love that has never died.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 4 Rose Read

HUNGER UNTAMED is my first foray into the Feral Warriors world created by Pamela Palmer. I do find the book interesting, since magic, sorcery, shape-shifting, and mating for life are some of the main ideas featured in it. What I don't necessarily care for is the relationship between the hero and heroine, and the weird "Hook-eye" name for the villain.

I realize that what I read is fantasy, but some things in here stretch the limit of my imagination. Naming a villain "Hook-eye", for example, is one of them. It isn't enough to deter me from recommending the book, but it is something I don't like about it. Okay, I giggled a little when I read it, but it wasn't an outright chuckle.

I also don't quite feel the connection between the hero and heroine. I know that in every story, conflict can really fuel the romance, but this story would have been a whole lot better if the heroine just would have told the hero what was going on in the first place. I suppose that maybe the storyline could have been about them fighting the Magi together, and the conflict between the hero and heroine's clan, but it isn't. So, I will never know, I guess.

There are certain aspects of HUNGER UNTAMED that I enjoyed—the Illinas, the Warriors, and magic—but some parts are just over the top.
