Illicit Seattle #1

Following Love's Hunger

Rate this book
Hidden in the Seattle underground, a clan of Vampires sells sex, power and information, controlling politics and influencing an illicit world of human-looking creatures with incredible powers and intense hungers...
Shielded by her father, Kat had built a life outside of the Clan, and had a promising career in sales. She was winning awards at Thorne Technologies. With a touch of her hand and a small sip of their energy, humans were putty in her hands. Feeding her hunger was controllable. She just wanted to be free to live her own life and find love. But the Vampire Clan had other plans for her. The Clan expected her to work in their brothel and spy network, where love is forbidden. She would never be free of the Clan. Or the Clan’s laws.

Henry was just doing another job for another well-to-do client. Being a spy came easily to someone with his special abilities. Planting bugs, gathering intel, watching and waiting in the shadows had made him a very rich man. Spying at Thorne Technologies was cake. Until he met Kat. Suddenly, all his special skills were his enemy. Guilt and worry consumed him. He couldn’t let her find out his secrets.

When Kat loses her job, her father can no longer protect her, and she must desperately search for a way to keep from being forced into the Clan’s sex work. As their love blossoms, they must find ways to defy the Clan, explore who they truly are, and dare to trust their love against the Second Circle.

Following Love's Hunger is an adult paranormal romance. If you like red-hot passion, blood-pumping drama, and satisfying love stories, then you’ll love the first installment of the sizzling series Illicit Seattle.

Wow- This was my first read for this author and just like that: I can’t get enough!
Kat’s an amazing character who knows what she wants and isn’t willing to compromise. Henry is fiercely loyal and as it happens, an amazing catch.

Both are Veiled meaning… paranormal for simple’s sake. There’s vampires, magic and shifters, all worked into our “regular” world, making it all believable and super fun. Regulated seemingly reasonably by the Marshals and of course - there’s evil, like with anything.

There’s characters I love to hate and others I love to root for.

The book is professionally presented and while it wraps up neatly, it completely leaves me wanting more of this world. Cannot wait til the next edition!!

Highly recommend this and its predecessor !

Also:
Cover is beautiful and completely fitting.

Really enjoyed this book! Very fast-moving action with romance that delighted. I felt like the characters were real people I know, just coincidentally with paranormal abilities, and they had problems and challenges and emotions that felt real. I liked that it was set in modern-day Seattle with lots of regular-world stuff going on, with the paranormal hidden away from the oblivious regular humans. I loved spunky hot Kat and super-smart Henry. They felt totally right for each other. And I got super caught up in the escapes and intrigues and scary world they traveled in. Loved their friends and family too! Highly recommended.

I will start my review by being honest - this was not a book for me.

I thought that the storyline was weak compared to similar books in the same genre and I didn't really gel with the characters or the writing style.

There was not much action and I wanted more from the story.

It might be a book that others enjoy but isn't one I am going to be recommending - 3 stars

This is new and different. I like reading about new supes and their abilities. I felt like Henry had the most unique power of all, his mate a close second.

Might be nice to suggest to readers to read The Protectors first considering all the references to David and Abbey.

urban

Sylph are seldom seen. The vampires were mafia like. All the heroine as a hybrid wanted was to be left alone. Some romance.
