Beatrix Lesse, Countess of Lente, has grown bored of her
life. The men who surround her no longer hold any appeal,
and the nights just seem to pass by. The games, the
parties, and politics just are the same as they were the
last century and the one before that. The only thing that
she stays interested in is art. Poems and paintings are her
only interest until she meets John Staunton.
John, The Earl of Langley, thought he knew all about
secrets. That's what his whole life has been about. While
keeping the
country safe from invasion, he learns the truth of what runs
in the night. Between the nightmares and the harsh reality
he has come to know, can he accept what Beatrix is and the
thing he has turned into?
I have heard a lot about Susan
Squires, but this is the first time I have read one of her
books. I am disappointed in what I found. With the
reviews that I have read about her past books, I was
looking forward to reading The Hunger, but it wasn't
close to what I expected. I had a hard time getting into the
book in the first place. Nothing really grabbed my attention
in the first two chapters. Then the story line takes you
between London in the late 1800's and then to Beatrix in
the 1100's. The way the story line kept switching between
the present and past, it felt more like bouncing around
and trying to fill in holes to me than building the
character. I also found the book to be a little slow at
least until chapter thirteen, but by then it seemed just a
little to late for me to start enjoying it. Hopefully, I
will like the next one better.
