Fresh Fiction Review

DARK HUNGER
Christine Feehan

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko
Posted June 6, 2023

Fantasy | Science Fiction

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.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan's Carpathian classic goes manga—this edition of Dark Hunger includes the original novella which inspired the manga and a new note from the author!

Christine Feehan has reinvented the vampire novel with her #1 New York Times bestselling Carpathian novels. Now, she and Berkley take her “out-of-the-ordinary” (Booklist) series in a thrilling direction that’s more graphic than ever....

He is Riordan...Carpathian male. Immortal. Seer. Now trapped and cage, his honor is compromised by his captors. They’re in his mind. They’re in his blood. And not one can withstand his desire for revenge.

She is Juliette...A beautiful activist devoted to the liberation of animals from the foul and humid confines of a secret, jungle lab. What she has stumbled upon is unexpected—a prisoner like no other she has ever seen. Or touched.

She will release him from his bonds. He will release her from her inhibitions. Each has a voracious appetite that must be sated....
