For any of you female readers that have always had the fantasy of your masculine vampire following you all through your life and not revealing himself until he thinks you are ready, this book is for you.

Told with the rich imagery and compelling characterization of Anne Rice at her best, Dark Hunger is more just a vampire story.
Calvani handles beautifully; and yet there is never any question that this is Alana's story, and that Sadash is but the catalyst that causes the unresolved conflicts that are the basis of the novel to precipitate.
Dark Hunger is a superbly written, deftly balanced story of love and death and twisted loyalties that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end.

One flaw, for me, lies in the character of Sadash, who reveals himself as deceptive, ruthless, sometimes cruel, with little regard for human life, the kind of arrogant vampire the average person would want to stake, not embrace.
Yet Calvani manages to make us understand why Alana feels attracted to him despite the suspicion and anger that coexist with her fascination.
The bleak vision of what it feels like to cut mortal ties is relieved, at last, by a bittersweet reconciliation.

The consensus is that book reviewers are generally not compensated.
“Almost nobody can make a living from only writing reviews,” states Mayra Calvani, co-author a forthcoming book about writing reviews.
