Ravenous

LoveReading Says

From Kresley Cole, author of the Immortals After Dark series, Ravenous is a red-hot romantasy rollercoaster of ruthless clan conflict, deadly deals and dark desires. Populated by a mass cast of pleasure-seeking, power-hungry witches, vampires, wolves and demons, this first novel in the Immortals Untold series is set to satiate fans of ferociously lusty fantasy worlds. In this case, the richly-imagined realm of Skein that lies beyond the ordinary mortal world.

“You shall bear one hundred babes in a hundred years”. Such is the command issued to vampire princess Lia by her father, King Neculain, at the start of the novel. The purpose of this missive is to furnish his kingdom with an elite army. While Lia can’t escape being incarcerated in a crypt, she can start shaping a plan to escape her destiny.

The wider context is that this is a time of change in Skein: the time of Accession, which happens every 500 years and sees all species and clans of the realm fight it out to seize power. 

Fast-paced, and told from multiple points of view, the story has a grand scope as ill-fated alliances are formed from base desires. With its intricate plot propelled by the flick of demon’s tails, the lick of wolfish tongues, and a cast of characters clad in the likes of leather catsuits and blood-red cloaks, Ravenous is elemental and intense. Supernatural fantasy at its spiciest, it comes recommended for fans of Sarah J. Maas.

Joanne Owen’s lifelong love of reading and writing began when she was growing up in Pembrokeshire, and very much wished that witches (and Mrs Pepperpot) were real.
