Eternal Hunger

Starred review from August 30, 2010
Just when it seems every possible vampire twist has been turned, Wright launches a powerful series with a rich mythology, page-turning tension, and blistering sensuality. Wealthy, reclusive brothers Alexander, Nicholas, and Lucian Roman long ago rebelled against the restrictive Eternal Order of vampires. When a superpowerful part-vampire Impure starts attacking purebloods, the order forces Alexander to undergo a dangerous physical transformation. As a side effect, he develops a fierce craving for his as yet unidentified true mate. To Alexander's dismay, he forms a bond with human psychiatrist Sara Donohue, who saves him during a vulnerable moment. Wright pulls off the tricky task of creating enough of a resolution to satisfy readers while sustaining tension for the sequel. The connection between Sara and Alexander resonates on many levels, and readers will look forward to following them and other intriguing characters through succeeding books.
