That Vast Hunger: A Second Chance Witch Romantasy
Not yet published
Expected 1 Jan 26
He stole her heart. She stole his memories.
Wanted for murder, Secora Reed serves a vampiric clan in exchange for their protection. As their resident witch, she heals curse-inflicted vampires and does her best to forget her bloodied past. But when the only man she’s ever loved crashes back into her life, her fragile stability is threatened.
Elliot Lyrie barely remembers his former classmate, Secora Reed. He knows she was a Dark One. An orphan. An outcast. And, most markedly, his best friend’s sadistic killer. But when Elliot is attacked by a mob of vampires, Secora is inexplicably the one to save him.
When he discovers she stole his memories, Elliot makes Secora an offer she can’t refuse. He will help heal her cursed vampires, and in exchange, she will return his memories. Though she accepts, Secora has no intention of honoring the bargain.
After all, she knows better than the past holds power and Elliot’s might just destroy her hard-won future.
THAT VAST HUNGER is a witch romantasy and is part of an interconnected series of standalones. Featuring second-chance romance, amnesia (with a twist!), and open-door spice, it is told in dual, first person POV.
The Echo Realm books can all be read as standalone romantasies; however, if you plan to read multiple, I recommend reading in the following

I didn’t think I could love this book as much as This Violent Light but here we are. I absolutely loved this book. Cora’s past is heartbreaking and tragic but yet she is resilient, kind and loyal. This story renews my faith that karma will eventually catch up to us all. It is hard to write a review describing all the things I loved without spoilers. What I can say is this book left a mark on my heart and it will stay with me long after finishing.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This is one of those treasures you find every now and again that deserves all the stars.
The writing was so beautifully done and paced so well that I hung on every word. I didn't want to miss a single sentence. I even read the dreaded italics and LOVED them. EVERY. Little. Thing. About. This book was perfection. From the character development, to the way a phrase was coined, to the plot, to the banter and dynamics between characters... I even felt an instant bond to the main character and rooted for her from that amazing first sentence hook. She's the outcast that has a troubled past. And every character is so well built, they feel alive, believeable, and natural.
I'm also so in love with the mmc, Elliot. He's so inherently kind but they're rightful enemies. It was so much fun getting his POVs and seeing both sides of the story. Each side just as complex and well plotted as the other. It worked incredibly well to have his side along with hers.
I loved the high stakes and the super complex relationships. All that angst and tension. I loved the first book, but I LOVED this one even more.
The clever way the then and now was done had me so messed up reading it. Like in the best way. Like I needed more and the reactions and emotions of the characters were... messing me up. I can't even explain how much I loved this book. It tugged at so many different parts of me as I read. I cried my eyes out. I laughed. I went through so many different emotions. And seriously so unexpected at how amazing this book was.
It also helped that a lot of the worldbuilding was done in book 1 so this one had a quicker pace and I already loved the world and setup from before. This one is also miles heavier than the first one. So in short, your heart is going to be wrenched.
Tropes:
Angst
A clever then and now
Troubled pasts
Trauma/Healing
(Depression)
One tent
Spice
Witches vs vampires
Enemies to lovers (play on it)
Forced Proximity
Forbidden Love
Banter

Thank you for the ARC!
This was my first book by this author, and I absolutely devoured it in two days! It was the perfect fantastical escape after a hectic period in my life; exactly the kind of romantasy that sweeps you away.
Set in the Echo Realm, where witches, vampires, and possibly fae roam, this is book two in the series and follows Cora, an exiled witch living among vampires, and Elliott, a witch-healer and the son of a high-ranking Council member who despises Cora and her merry band of Vampires. We get a delicious mix of forbidden romance, political tension, and magical intrigue.
That Vast Hunger is also a second-chance romance, and the way this element is woven in? I adored it. I’m a huge second-chance trope lover, and this book brings such a fresh, emotional layer to it.
There’s yearning on both sides; Cora hiding it behind her impenetrable walls, and Elliott grappling with an undeniable pull toward the witch he’s been taught to fear and hate. Their journey fills in the emotional voids they’ve carried separately, until circumstances force them to work together… and realise they might be meant for more. Cora also holds a secret that could shift everything they believe about their world. I laughed, I cried, I gasped—I fell completely in love with both Cora and Elliott.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it reads beautifully as a standalone. No confusion, no inside jokes you’re expected to know, just a seamless, immersive experience. That alone gets major bonus points from me.
Overall, this is a fun, engaging romantasy that isn’t too heavy on world-building. Sometimes you just want to lose yourself in the characters, and this book delivers that perfectly. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Book Sirens and Bree Wilde for the eARC opportunity!
This review reflects my honest opinion.
📅 Publication date: January 1, 2026
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
That Vast Hunger is a standalone fantasy romance set in the Echo series, within a witches vs. vampires universe. You do not need to read This Violent Light first to enjoy this book, but I do recommend it — the additional context makes the worldbuilding and emotional layers richer.
I loved Cora’s character while reading This Violent Light, so I was so happy when I realized that this book was for her! 🫶🏻
At the heart of the story are Secora and Elliot. Elliot, the MMC, is a healer who practices biological magic, while Secora, the FMC, wields mind magic. Their connection is undeniable, with chemistry that feels natural, intense, and deeply rooted in their shared past. This is a second-chance romance, complicated by an amnesia trope, which adds both emotional tension and vulnerability to their relationship.
What stood out most to me was Bree Wilde’s writing — it is so bingable — it quietly grips you and pulls you in until you’re fully invested. The emotional pull is steady throughout, and the ending was very satisfying.
Read this if you enjoy: witches vs vampires, open-door romance that serves the story, second-chance love stories, amnesia trope, strong atmosphere and character-driven tension
I’m grateful I had the opportunity to read this early and will gladly continue reading anything Bree Wilde writes!

i had the absolute pleasure of getting a advance copy of this in exchange for an honest review from Bree Wilde and BookSirens, which i am so incredibly lucky for!!! 🤍
i throughly enjoyed this story so much, i really think it healed something in me. that vast hunger is the second book that takes place in the echo realm world, with the first one being ‘this violent light’ (if you’re a tvd stan and wanted klaroline to be endgame, you’ll love it) anyways - i loved this so much. this is almost giving enzo/bonnie but reverse??? we have cora the fmc who is dark & mysterious, with trauma & a dark past, and elliot who is the goody-too-shoes, until everyone’s secrets are unveiled and now he’ll do anything to right the wrongs of the past. the pacing was great, i loved the premise and the story flowed very well. the characters have so much depth and the relationships we see develop are so special. i fell in love with cora who is such an amazing character and is so much more than her past, and elliot, who is a consent king. 🫶🏻
pls check your trigger warnings! there are some
topics and references that some readers might have trouble reading, but truthfully Bree handles these topics with so much care, written in a way that weaves them into this overall healing journey & the mc’s second chance romance.
i do highly reccomend reading ‘this violent light’ before ‘that vast hunger.’ i think you get a better feel for the world and some of the side characters that we continue to explore in this book.
ya this was so great, again thank you sm booksirens & bree wilde for the arc!!!! ‘that vast hunger’ comes out on jan 1!! 😗 so you still have time to read this violent light before release day 🙂↕️
that vast hunger is a second chance romance, featuring witches x vampires, secrets and stolen memories, and some spicy open-door romance 🌶️

That Vast Hunger by Bree Wilde
Release date: 1st January 2026
That vast hunger is an interconnected standalone with a second chance romance with witches, stolen memories and Vampires galore. Even though it is a standalone it is recommended by the author to read the first one: This violent light if you choose to read the series.
"Tell me Margot. Confirm what I now know is true. Tell me I once loved a monster, and she loved me back."
That Vast Hunger follows cora (Secora) a witch branded as a dark one when she was only 8 months old because she supposedly killed her parents. After being taken in by the vampire king and his clans she's finally made a life for herself, only a curse is threatening to tear her new found family apart, meaning she needs an ally to make as many sun walking potions as possible. When she's started to give up hope; in is dragged Elliot Lyrie. The son of the witch who cursed the vampires but also the one person Cora has ever loved.
That Vast Hunger, was a book I went into reading after feeling a slump coming on, and it helped prevent it. Bree Wilde has written a spectacular quick read that will help if your in a slump. The characters were pure, the love between the two MC was amazing, even though the MMC couldn't remember ever meeting the MFC his body still remembers. I think that was my favorite detail throughout the whole book.

Lovely to be back in Echo Realms and experience things from another characters perspective. I really enjoyed getting to know Cora’s character more intimately as well as experiencing life outside of the Night Realm.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
The book can be enjoyed as a stand alone, but having read the previous story adds some depth. The storyline is much more emotionally driven than that of the first book. I would class this as more of a romance in a fantasy setting.
I would like to note that should be *Trigger Warnings* for this one as it does delve into and have scenes that describe rape.
Doesn’t pack as much punch as the original in terms of plot driven story, but makes up for than in spades with emotional scope of interaction between the two main characters. A nicely paced, comfortable read, with great depictions of colour and world, building on the great foundations of book one. The memories scenes were well written given enough detail to provide picture building and emotional resonance without feeling heavily over described!
From the ending I assume there is more to come, not so much a cliffhanger, but more ‘wait, we didn’t find out if……..’
I like Cora more than Grace, but Sebastian still wins for me. Eliot is a good guy, but I like mine a bit dark and dangerous! 😉

Before I get started, trigger warnings for this book are important and Bree Wilde does provide them. Please read them. That said, I don't go into sensitive material in my review.
Sebastian steals the show. MY MAN. My love for him carries on into this book as well.
For the actual book and main characters, though...
Cora's story is heartwrenching and her growth is phenomenal. Seeing hers and Elliot's love unfold was just perfect. The little moments of young love to the confusing adoration in adulthood. Beautiful.
Elliot is that bitch. THAT. BITCH. A man capable of making hard choices for the woman he loves no matter the consequences. *chefs kiss*
The book itself was a 10/10, definitely more character driven than 'plot' driven (I don't mean this in a bad way, I mean the characters themselves were the plot more than the external factors they were dealing with) and I think it was done perfectly. I was completely hooked and eating up every single scene and twist the entire time.
Cannot wait to see what else comes out of the Echo from here (hopefully keeping my current status of ARC reader in the future, but regardless, Bree Wilde will be an auto buy for me for the rest of her writing career.)

Wow, what a ride! I devoured this book and it totally snapped me out of my reading funk. I loved This Violent Light, the first book in The Echo Realm world, but I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Cora taking the spotlight, especially since she was so prickly. Turns out, I’m officially obsessed! Cora is even better than Grace! This story was an absolute blast.
The sparks between Secora and Elliot were off the charts! Their chemistry grabbed me from their very first memory, and I was hooked. Their romance is both swoon-worthy and heart-wrenching, and their journey back to each other kept me turning pages way past bedtime.
Secora’s backstory brought all the feels. Seriously, it’s a heartstring-puller. I still have some burning questions, but I guess I’ll just have to wait impatiently for the next book!
Bree Wilde’s world is just so vibrant, captivating, and packed with magical creatures that I need more of right now. The world building and storytelling are pure magic, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Thank you to the author for proving me with an arc copy of this book! If you decide you’re interested in reading it, it releases on January first, 2026!
“I forgot we existed,” I say. “I forgot you, Cora, but I don’t think my body did. I think it remembered. I think it knew what made me whole, and it wasn’t interested in settling for less.”
After finishing That Vast Hunger, I am definitely interested in reading This Violent Light. The two novels are set in the same world, and the FMC of this book, Cora, is a supporting character in the other! However, both books act as a standalone, so you don’t have to read them in any order.
In my own opinion, the spice was pretty mild, however it was open door and if you’re not used to reading spice or you don’t like to, it may be a bit too intense for you. But personally I’d rate it around a 2 out of 5 on the 🌶️ scale.
I love Elliot and Cora. I hate Harrison with everything I have, and yeah, that’s it.
“You deserve every good thing in the world,” I whisper. “That’s what I thought at sixteen. That’s what I think now.”

This is the second book set in this world, following This Violent Light. Both are standalone fantasies with different main characters, but they share the same universe. I do recommend reading This Violent Light first so you’re not confused by the backstory and timeline surrounding Cora.
This was an ARC read I was really looking forward to, and it absolutely delivered. The story follows Cora and Elliot, morally grey witches finding love in the darkness.
For me, this book had the perfect balance of plot, spice, character development, and world-building. I especially love standalone fantasies that wrap up neatly in one book, and this one did that beautifully. I read it over the weekend and loved every moment.
One of my favorite aspects was Sebastian’s fatherly, protective presence over Cora, it added so much heart to the story.
If you love witches, vampires, fantasy, and romance, this book is definitely for you. I highly recommend it.

I loved Secora, so fragile so vulnerable but had a furious strength within her guiding her through all her turmoil's. I really resonated with her determination and the way she offset everything that happened onto herself even when she was not the one to be blamed. I am so happy she found comfort and solace and love again. The spicey scenes in this book are perfect and I couldn't ask for better because it was everything that Secora deserved and had me blushing reading through it. I didn't read the first book but I have an idea of how the plot goes based on reading the second book as a standalone and I cannot wait to go back and read the first now.

Cora and Elliot.
Phew. This story was so good. I love a good second chance romance with layered secrets. Bree you outdid yourself.
From the previous book, we meet Cora and not much is shared about her past. So, I am HAPPY she got a full book where we see her past, how she got to the night realm and some of her previous love.
Yes, Love.
Elliot needs help and Cora needs spells.
So these two work together all the while Elliot wants his memories back...
When you dive into That Vast Hunger you might want to buckle in because I couldn't put this book down. It is heavy on the story, light on the spice (but the spice was spicing) and the overall character development was beautifully written.

alright, I'm not gonna lie, I was hesitant with this books based off tropes alone. second chance romances are always a hit and miss for me and memory loss is one of my least favorites.
BUT THIS WAS DONE SO INCREDIBLY GOOD.
oh Secora, you sweet poor girl. she has sacrificed so much and suffered so much in her life. she deserves all the love and everything she wants.
I wasn't sure about Elliot at first but he definitely proved himself.
I can't wait to see what happens next in The Echo

I’m so happy to return to this world. Once again the vampires and witches are at it again. This time we follow Cora and Elliott. They have a past but Elliott has no memory of it. He will do anything to get his memories back.
I also want to give a shoutout to Amelia’s character. I love her interactions with Cora. She’s just so fun.
Thank you Bree for this early copy🖤❤️
🖤Childhood friends
🖤Slow burn
🖤Second chance romance

Review of advance copy received from Author
Book 2 in The Echo Realm series. This book is an interconnected standalone , but after meeting Cora in book 1, learning more about her and her back story was so interesting. Cora's story js absolutely so devastating and yet she is SO STRONG! And as things unfold, things come to light, memories are made clear that change the trajectory of everything. This story was so good and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Oh my word! I demolished this book in one day!
This book was even better than the first.
If you haven’t read book 1 I feel that you can still read book 2 and follow along easily enough.
I absolutely loved Secora and Elliot’s story. So many surprise twists.
Thank you so much to the author for the ARC!
I leave this ARC review freely.
