DARK HUNGER is a re-release of a novella of the same name. This is a graphic novel - a manga release.

I picked DARK HUNGER out of curiosity. Having read it before, as I've read everything Christine Feehan has released, I wanted to see what it would look like as a graphic novel. I must admit that I am not familiar with manga but after reading the author's note, I understood why Ms. Feehan wanted to try this with her Carpathian books. Read that note, but have a tissue handy.

DARK HUNGER is the story of Riordan, an immortal Carpathian who was trapped and weakened by captors and was rescued by Juliette. She and her sister were devoted to freeing animals that were held in the secret lab. This time Juliette finds something else - a man close to death - a man who is more than a man he is her lifemate. But, Juliette has a secret: she is a jaguar shifter who will never leave her home and will protect her animals and family. If you have not read the novella this is a perfect opportunity to do so.

A well-done bit of artistry and a great story as this couple tries to figure out how to love one another and save her community. DARK HUNGER may not be a typical manga offering but to fans of Ms. Feehan, it is another way to enjoy her world.
