summary from Goodreads
Elijah Reynolds is the most dominant of lycans, a rare Alpha whose skill on the hunt is surpassed only by his primal sexuality. When the lycans revolt due to the iron fist of angelic rule, he steps into command, becoming both enemy and coveted ally in the conflict between vampires and angels.
Vashti is the second most powerful vampire in the world, a lethal beauty with a path of devastation in her wake. Tasked with proposing an alliance between vampires and the lycans who killed her mate, Vash approaches Elijah, whose need to avenge a friend demands Vash's death even as his passion demands her surrender.
Soon, their enmity erodes beneath an all-consuming desire. Elijah has never encountered a woman whose warrior spirit and fierce sexual appetite rivals his own, while Vash is faced with the one man strong enough to be her equal. But as war looms, each must decide where their loyalty lies--with their own kind or with the enemy lover they can no longer live without.
Ellie's thoughts:
A Hunger So Wild is the second novel in Sylvia Day’s Renegade Angels series and picks a few weeks after A Touch of Crimson ended. I have not read A Touch of Crimson and really wished that I had because it took me almost the entire book to figure out what was going on. If I didn't like both Vashti and Elijah so much I wouldn't have been able to finish the book. I felt that there could have been more backstory given at the beginning to catch the reader up because there is a so much important stuff that happened that was impacting characters in A Hunger So Wild that happened in A Touch of Crimson.
As I mentioned before I really liked Vashti and Elijah so much. I thought the struggle they had to go through to have their relationship and at times my heart broke for them both. I had a problem with their first sexual experience and it really bothered me. I felt that if the roles were reversed it wouldn’t have been able to happen. Vashti completely violates Elijah and his trust so badly that I almost stopped reading. Vashti did redeem herself later but it put a taint on the whole book that I couldn’t shake off.
I really love the idea of this book with angels, lycans and vampires closely tied together with their history. I really like all of the characters in the book and I’m very excited for Syre’s book which comes out next. I hope this book answers a lot of questions that weren’t answered. I really disliked the ending and felt that it just stopped very abruptly when things were not finished. I felt that some of the questions I had about Vashti and what she went through, which was a big part of the plot, weren’t answered and it bothers me that they probably won't. I liked this book but the issues that I did have hindered me from really loving it.
