Dark Hunger is a fantastical, romantic manga based on Christine Feehan's Carpathian series.

I haven't picked up Christine Feehan's books before, but I have been wanting to for a very long time. When this book caught my eye (on sale!) at a local indie book store, I decided it was the perfect time to grab it! This was yet another book that got lost among my shelves and I just recently recovered it. There's no better time to pick up a manga than now - stuck at home, bored with lots of time on my hands.

Riordan is a Carpathian male, which is basically a vampire hunter who is also a vampire. He falls for his lifemate, Juliette, who turns into a giant jaguar. When Juliette released Riordan from being locked up and kidnapped, her friends and family are suddenly thrown into chaos as well. Juliette and Riordan must help save her buddies and somehow manage to stay mates as well.

This book is quick to read and quite easy. It has a lot going on so I didn't lose interest (I actually binged the whole thing). There's fantasy elements, romance and lots of action. It's not my favourite manga, but I did enjoy slipping away into this fantasy world. It does tempt me to grab one of Christine Feehan's books sooner rather than later, more so out of curiosity to see how this manga holds up to her writing.

Overall, I enjoyed it. This book is a nice break from reality.

Two out of five stars. ( )

that was the least sensical thing i think i have Ever read in my life just absolutely terrible wow

I’m a fan of the Dark Series’ books. This comic book format is completely lacking in many areas, its awkward, characters have no depth (like in the books), and no real plot. The characters deserved better. ( )

It's no secret that I am no fan of manga and this book has done nothing to change that. Although it was different to get someone else's take on what the characters look like I found the men very feminine looking. So unlike the broad brooding warriors described in other books. 2 Stars

Listened to the audio book this time and TOTALLY enjoyed it! Juliette, Solange and Jasmin are such strong characters and they just add to the strength that is the Carpathian male. I love this family. 4 Stars ( )
