Overall, the book was a cute story. I thought the dynamic between the two main love interests was really cute, and everything about their interactions was great on multiple fronts. I th ught they each had dynamic personalities and voices in the writing which was very enjoyable. However, the ending felt kind of rushed, and I was a little disappointed in the relationship dynamics as the third party in the relationship kind of felt like an afterthought. Overall though, it was a fun read, and it felt like it was a setup for a multi book series rather than a one shot novel.

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.

This was really sweet and satisfying. I had a slow start getting into it but after about a third I was thoroughly invested. I think there's a lot of potential for more books in the series but the immediate conflicts were all resolved and I liked the resolution. I would call this a romance with a solid fantasy plot, instead of the other way around. It can be so hard to find romance book with a solid plot, so I do highly recommend picking this up! More of a slow burn but with some very steamy scenes.
