Thea Keegan was orphaned and raised in a children's home, her only outlet was music. It seemed to flow from her from the moment she set her eyes on a violin. Something else that drew her was a megalithic stone structure known as the as the Stone of the Warrior. This day she is drawn to it once again to play her music and from the stone comes a strong hand, an arm, and then a filthy, but gorgeous man. A man who seemed to be fighting a dark blob, who then exploded the rock formation and told her to run. She will soon be running toward the DARK ALPHA'S HUNGER.

Eoghan had spent he doesn't know how long lost in the darkness of that realm after he sacrificed himself to save his leader in a fight against Bran. For those new to this series, Bran is a former Reaper who now wants to rule the world. It was the music that saved him by leading him to the portal and her physically pulling him helped enormously. When he became a Reaper for Death, Eoghan had sworn a vow of silence, but he finds she has another duty for him which will release him of that vow. There is a secret team of Reapers and he must lead them. Thus begins a new adventure and new chapter in the Reaper world.

This is the book I have been waiting for! As in the other books, there were moments of Eoghan's fight for survival, and I was thrilled with the way author Donna Grant handled the past, present, and future of the amazing characters in DARK ALPHA'S HUNGER. There are some unexpected twists to go along with this new addition to Ms. Grant's Reaper stories. Not only does Thea save Eoghan and learn the secrets of his world, but there is a new batch of Reapers who need his experience as they plan to continue the battle with Bran. Three Dark and three Light, five males and one female -- -- Cathal, Rordan, Bradach, Dubhan, Torin, and the female warrior, Aisling -- all secrets in the war against Bran.

Donna Grant's new characters are fascinating with their ability to work together and accept Eoghan as their leader without a qualm. The hints of their personalities are more than enough to make me want to see more of this group and watch them work as a team.

Thea had no idea she is a halfling or the danger she is in ... having no knowledge of the Fae or her part in that world. But once she learns, and it is proven to her, then she is ready to do what she can to help. There are a number of secrets that come to light that will astound readers some expected and some totally out of the realm of our imaginations, but twists and turns we expect to come from Ms. Grant. May I just add a personal note here ... I really want to see Queen Usaeil get hers. I didn't care for her before, but now -- wow, is she evil!

If you want to read a book that is filled with a sweet and steamy romance, action, and intrigue all surrounded by the mystical Fae world then DARK ALPHA"S HUNGER is just what you need.
