A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

Listen, I understand that people have rape kinks (consensual non consent) I understand that the beginning of this book is just exploring that kink (though not a safe display of said kink.). So this book will only appeal to readers who have that type of kink. HOWEVER. My main issue is not the rape…it’s the writing. I found this book borderline unreadable and eventually the cringey “Scottish” accent of the mmc did me in. If I had to read “doona” or “lass” one more time I was going to gouge out my eyeballs. This story belly flops directly into erotica, the large glossary at the front IS the world building. The author is just relying on the readers to read the entire glossary then jump into the sexual assault that hits by chapter 1. Again, I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum but the start of this story is a horrible mess. I can’t speak for the rest of the story, but I did lightly skim the rest of the book and it seems that the messiness carried throughout the entire story. Imma exit stage right and leave this one to other readers.
