This was my first time reading D. C. Stone and I enjoyed the experience. Ms. Stone gave us a twist on something usually viewed as evil in her demons. I love when an author does something unexpected and by making her demons ones who handed out justiceMs. Stone did just that. And poor Bari is struggling with reconciling his not quite human status with his new role, especially as he saw his father kill his mother so long ago. Ms. Stone allows us to see his struggle as he reached an understanding to accept that he is not his father. Everyone else can see that Bari is made of stronger stuff and would never hurt those he loves but Bari’s journey is not easy or comfortable. I loved that Mac stood by Bari. Even when it would have been easier on her heart, she fought for her man. I loved Mac’s determination and loyalty but there were a few times when I wished she would give Bari a swift kick in the pants. Ms. Stone walked a fine line between making Mac’s character too willing to give Bari the benefit of the doubt but I think she traversed it well. Feral Cravings is the first in Ms. Stone’s Justice Demon series. And while Bari and Mac were given their happily ever after, she left us panting for more as evil touched the lives of Bari’s brothers-in-arms. I can’t wait to see how she digs herself out of the hole she left us with.
Another great book from DC Stone. I'm in love with Bari. She does a great job of making me love and hate this man all at the same time. This book is packed with suspense and a ton of sexual tension. A great read.
Feral Craving is the first book in a five book series by DC Stone.
The characters are intriguing and pulled me in from the very beginning. In this book you meet four men from a US Army Special Forces team lead by Bari Baxter. Bari, Tyler, Mike and Troy are fighting the good fight against the Al Qaeda in Iraq when things take a turn. The team is forced to head home so Bari can deal with a few "issues."
This book has humans, good demons, bad demons and some very strong women. In come Machkenzie and her friend Bethany.
The writing is amazing and very detailed. You could see everything unfolding very clearly in your mind. She has created interesting characters with her Justice Demons and I can't wait to learn more about them in her future books.
I will admit there were several times where I wanted to smack Bari in the head, but I just keep on reading.
At the end of the book I had a few moments of, "What the heck?" ... "How did that happen?" ... "Are you kidding me?" ... "Did I miss something?"
Let me tell you how happy I was when I found out there will be a second, third, forth and fifth book! I am truly hoping and looking forward to having all my questions answered.
To me, this is totally a must read book. Enjoy and Thank you DC. Keep on writing.
This is the tough, poignant story of a soldier returning home from Iraq and fearing that his inner demon will hurt the long-lost woman of his life. It is superbly written, fast-paced, full of nailbiting action scenes, introspection and bleeding emotions, and at times very hot. The author's love for the main character shines through every word - which makes this reader easily fall for him as well, and more than eagerly await the next book in the series!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Nothing beats a hot military drama with a paranormal twist. Ms. Stone's book was enthralling and kept my attention from start to finish.
