I am very pleased to be a part of Madeline Pryce’s blog tour for Dark Cravings.
I read the book when it came out as Blood Lust Rising. I had a review ready, but never published it. Madelyne had seemed to drop from sight, but I found out why. She was doing the author thing, you know, finding a publisher and such. lol
Warning: This novel is rated for Adults only.
I rarely do erotic, but this book was recommended to me by Laura, my sister, at fuonlyknew. I always pay attention to her recommendations. She could not quit talking about the first chapter. “Whew”, I say, as I blush head to toe. But Laura was right. Not only was my Kindle smoking, it was burning up! For all you erotic lovers, this is a MUST Read!

BLURB
As a half-breed vampire, Ella Grey’s life sucks. She does her best to pass the time killing demons and secretly admiring her Shadow Hunter partner, Micah. He’s hot, dangerous and knows it. He’d be just Ella’s type if he weren’t likely to kill her the moment she put a toe out of line.
A chance encounter with a succubus changes everything. From the second the succubus’s spell washes over them, Ella and Micah are helpless to keep their hands off one another. The sex, when it’s not leaving them on the verge of death, is earth shattering and for the first time in ages Ella is connected with someone on a level she’d feared lost forever. But a dangerous prophecy has been set into motion, and if Ella’s not careful it’ll pull her straight from Micah’s arms and into the deepest bowels of the underworld.
A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Publisher’s Note: This book was previously published under the title Blood Lust Rising. It has been revised and expanded for EC.

My Review of Dark Cravings by Madeline Pryce
I read this book when it was Blood Lust Rising. I have reread the new and improved Dark Cravings and I must tell you, I could not put it down. That is, until the battery in my Kindle died.
~~~
Hot cover and very appropriate title.
Dark Cravings is Ella’s story. The detail and depth of Madeline Pryce’s descriptions is amazing. It is easy to visualize the battles, Ella and Micah’s attraction to each other, the characters that surround them and the world they inhabit.
Ella Gray – I am neither human nor vampire, the thing I was raised to kill. Some consider me a demon, an undesirable, an abomination. I am a hunter and I love every minute of it. I work for the Shadow Agency My mission is to protect humans from rogue vampires and keep our existence a secret.
The vampire world has its own set of rules and regulations with appropriate penalties for those that run afoul of the Shadow Agency.
Micah is the son of the agency’s leader. Ella and Micah had an attraction they fought, but could never put aside. I thought they were already fated to be together before the succubus came into their lives.
By her and Micah being together, Ella had changed. They had changed. The gates of Hell were opened, spawning demons, and the earth protested with hurricanes and tornadoes. Who knew what else would be affected by their lust and desire.
Their journey through their destinies are treacherous. Betrayal follows them everywhere they go. The gruesome, graphic horror is peppered with humor and laughter.
Madelyne describes Ella getting dressed to go to the club and I couldn’t help but laugh at her thoughts about the choice of clothing Hannah, her sister, had chosen for her.
Either the top was too small or my tits had gone from a B cup to a C. Jesus, if I bent over, my nipples might pop out.
I was so involved with the story, the hours passed as if they were minutes. I felt a huge letdown when I reached the last page, wanting the story to continue. And it will. So, you will want to follow Madeline Pryce to see what she has in store for Ella, Micah and the cast of characters you will either love or hate in Dark Cravings.
5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them

QUOTES
“The Vampire Queen and yes…the Demon Son. Destruction and Mayhem.”
“God, you’re a bitch. The way he said it, I heard goddess.”
“I crossed my arms under my breasts, which is a mistake, because they almost fell out.”
“When the hell did you get so possessive? Why don’t you just pee on me and get it over with.”
“Nothing says heartless like matching coffee mugs that read, ‘Stand back. I’ve got fleas and ‘Demons do it better’.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My only complaint: The cover. I know you can’t judge a book by its cover or you might miss some good reads. However, covers do have a huge influence over me.
“So this is your little ball of claws.”
I love Madelyne’s description of Ella and the old cover fit this phrase to a T.
What do you think of the Dark Cravings cover?

You honor me girl!! I love that you loved the book. Thank you so much for hosting me today and letting your fellow readers know about my book. Covers are such a strange thing. I’ll always love the old cover for Blood Lust Rising, but I do have to say I like what Ellora’s Cave did with it. Who can resist a hot sexy shirtless man on a cover? Not, I. LOL. I can’t wait to see the new cover for Dark Innocence, Hannah’s story, which I should be getting any day now!
((Hugs))
I saw you talking somewhere, probably Facebook about the cover. Not only am I excited about the cover, I can hardly wait to get my hands on Hannah’s story. I think it’s gonna be another out of the ballpark home run. You are very welcome, Madeline and I am happy to yell it from the rooftops that this is an excellent story.
We’ll get one of those bull horns, lol. And, I can’t wait to share Hannah’s story. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m hoping to explore her a bit more in future books.
I’m with you. Maybe we’ll have one of those Cocktails to keep our whistle wet. I feel Hannah wants her story told and I aim to read it. lol
I am adding this book to my TBR pile. It sounds like a good read!
