Hunger Pangs is marketed as a steamy and fun satire of paranormal romance, and I feel like it delivered well on that promise. The chemistry between Nathan and Vlad is a joy to read - and the chemistry with Ursula, too, though I wish there had been more wit her. Some of the political critiques were eye-rollingly heavy-handed, but they weren't wrong. Nathan's disabilities were handled really well, and I'd love to see more heartthrob werewolf doms with arm braces and hearing aids. The sexy scenes were also a lot of fun and very engaging.

Actually obsessed with this. Firstly, the actual plot doesn’t really start until after 400 pages in but every page before that is pure gold. Vlad is absolutely my favourite character, lil ancient submissive vampire doctor?? Excuse me??? Fabulous. Nathan also excellent. Intrigued by Ursula, can’t wait for the sequel. Obviously I read the flirting with fangs edition which is not for the faint hearted or those who don’t want to read EXQUISITELY written link negotiation but if that sounds like your jam I would HIGHLY recommend. The representation in this book is fabulous, bi/pan characters, excellent handling of disability, POC characters, CURVY GIRLS. It’s genuinely hilarious too, and I love the portrayal of Nathan’s family and also the guards on Eyrie.
