Eternal Hunger

Eternal Hunger: Mark of the Vampire by Laura Wright is the first in her Mark of the Vampire series about the Roman brothers. Ms. Wright has an interesting take on vampires. In her world, male vampires go through a maturation process called morpho when they are about 300 years old. Because of this process they can no longer be out in sunlight and must go on a search for their true mate. Alexander Roman is forced through morpho early by the vampire elders who wish him to hunt down a rogue vampire that is stealing and raping vampire women.

In his confusion, Alexander ends up in the doorway of Sara, a psychologist who has been working to suppress the memories of trauma victims in the hopes of helping them heal and move past the trauma. She is particularly driven by her brothers state, which was caused when Sara was a little girl and accidently set fire to their family home and killed their father.

I enjoyed this story, though I did feel that the resolution was a bit predictable. I will be reading the next book as I'm curious to find out what happens with the second Roman brother.
