You really don’t have to, Ms. Reinke, I’ve always bought the books I read. But hmm I just may make an exception.

Hey, Tuscan, thanks so much for that. I’d be more than happy to send you an ARC, if you’d like. Drop me an email and I can get one out to you next week, too. It would be a pleasure. I was introduced to Pickled Cupid through Karen’s blog and am now addicted (damn you - ha ha ha). Keep up the good work!

As a matter of fact, Ms. Reinke, I am waiting for the release of Dark Hunger. I’m really behind on getting my Recommended list posted, but I rather enjoyed this first of the series. Excuse the pun, but I think you gave a shot of needed new blood to the genre.

And thank YOU, Shannon, not only for your kind words here, but for your equally kind review on TGTBTU. Again, I appreciate you sharing what worked for you and what didn’t (you know, more people have commented to me about Lina’s TSTL moment at the end, LOL, so you’re not alone in it!).

Hi, Azteclady,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my book and for offering such a great, candid review. I really appreciate the fact that you discussed both what worked for you as a reader, and what didn’t and I’m really pleased that overall, you liked “Dark Thirst.” I hope you like “Dark Hunger,” too.

Rosalyn — I’d be glad to send you an ARC for “Dark Hunger,” if you’d like. Drop me an email with your mailing address and I’ll get one out in the mail to you next week!

Emmy, I’m sorry you didn’t like the book. Having been utterly bored by books that other people enjoyed (Stephen King’s Insomnia, for example), I know how you feel. Wish it wasn’t about MY book, but hey, it happens. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

I suspect this might be one of those series where you have to start at the beginning, and I’m glad I read Dark Thirst. And yes, oh yes, I loved that Lena had no qualms about, y’know, acting like a cop. Very refreshing. And Brandon’s such a good hero.

Dark Hunger is about Rene and Tessa. Didn’t read long enough to see if Brandon or Lina were mentioned. I can tell you that as of page 7, they hadn’t appeared, lolz.

The book starts with Rene about to commit suicide. I was kinda hoping he would, and put us both out of our misery. Alas, he paused to monologue the back story for 3 pages.

I went to your site and pulled your email off there to ask for your addy. Reply back and I’ll send the book off. This one just wasn’t for me, but hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it.

Emmy, I would love to have the ARC. I’m dying to read Dark Hunger. Of course, I will still buy the book. I loved this book like buttercream frosting and can’t wait to see what happens to Brandon and Lina. I loved the fact that though he’s a vampire he isn’t a big-time alpha male. I also love that Lina is a cop who does a little ass-kicking of her own. Fabulous, fabulous book.

I started with Dark Hunger and was bored senseless after the first 3 pages of dizzying time shifts. I tossed it on the shelf and picked up another book without even looking twice at Dark Thirst. With the whole vampire/brethren thing, it came off more like Darkyn fanfic than anything.

I’d be happy to pass on my ARC to someone who would actually read it. I sincerely hope I’ll never get bored enough to give it a second go round.
