This book was terrible! Seriously, do not waste your time. I picked this book up because the cover claims great reviews from Christine Feehan and I love most of Christine's books. However, this book was all action and no plot. I do not know how anyone could enjoy this book. Some of the descriptions the author used made me want to bang my head on a wall repeatedly. For ex. pg 314 "Libby was in danger, and he felt like a third f*cking tit, less than useless." What?! That is the dumbest description I have literally ever read. The characters had no dimension and were unrealistic. The "romance" in this novel was laughable. You could see no connection between the lead characters. Seriously, don't waste your time or money on this book! Jaxon has spent the last three years looking for his lover who betrayed him and caused the death of a teammate. Through a tip he has finally located Libby and he can get his revenge. The problem is that once she is in his sights he immediately notices that something is off. That something turns into many something’s that takes readers on a journey filled with explosive action, through the amazon, where once lovers have to find trust in each other again. I enjoyed reading Libby. Readers are initially introduced to a weak and broken female. Libby has been missing for the past three years. She does not even know what has happened to her. Her loss of memory keeps her confused. The fact that she was tortured and abused has put her in a very vulnerable position. She is extremely withdrawn and has little desire to continue on this broken path she has found herself on. The turning point for Libby is when she gets her memories back. The memories slowly trickled initially, but when she regained all of them she got angry. I liked angry Libby. She had put up with enough of the hate that Jaxon and his teammates were putting on her and she took charge and went after something that was taken from her. I really liked angry Libby.Jaxon and I had a love hate relationship. He is filled with a vengeful hatred of Libby. He has reasons (weak ones) to believe that Libby betrayed his team and caused the death of a family member. The entire PATU team shares his hate of Libby. They all want to see the person who deceived them die a slow and painful death. Libby gets all of this animosity. Jaxon is cruel to Libby. Once the answers to Libby’s whereabouts are revealed and the whys behind what happened to her come to light Jaxon has a big change of heart. Sometimes his actions towards Libby left me feeling too little too late. Like I said Jaxon is easy to hate even when you want to like him for his devotion to him team and family.I read the League of Guardians series before I read His Darkest Hunger. I enjoyed reading Declan and Ana before they were Declan and Ana. I’m looking forward to reading the next two books in the Jaguar Warriors series. I’m very curious to see how some things that I’ve read in the League books plays out in the Jaguar books.
