About this ebook

Vanessa and Zander Roth are good at lying.

They have to be in order to hide their uncontrollable hunger for pain and suffering. Living a normal life is out of the question, but neither of them are willing to admit that quite yet.

The careful balance they struggle to maintain is upended by the arrival of Ivy Guerra. It’s not just the vicious hunger she inspires that terrifies Van. The secrets she brings with her are far more dangerous.

As Van’s suspicions mount and her determination to unmask Ivy grows, she begs Zander for help. They’ve fought together against their hunger for so long. This shouldn’t be any different. Blinded by his fascination and attraction to Ivy, Zander brushes off his little sister’s conspiracy theories.

One of them is right about Ivy...but if they lose control of their hunger, it won’t matter. One little slip, and they’ll all be dead.

DelSheree Gladden

Her fascination with reading led to many hours spent in the library and bookstores, and eventually to writing. She wrote her first novel when she was sixteen years old, but spent ten years rewriting before it was published.Native to New Mexico, DelSheree and her family spent several years in Colorado before returning to northern New Mexico. When not writing novels, you can find DelSheree reading, hiking, sewing, playing with her dogs, and working with other authors.DelSheree has several bestselling young adult series and has hit the USA Today Bestseller list twice as part of box sets. DelSheree also has contemporary romance, cozy mystery, and paranormal new adult series. Her writing is as varied as her reading interests.

    Wicked Hunger is the story of Van and Zander, brother and sister, part of a cursed family. Some people inflame the hunger of the siblings and the only way to sate the craving is to feed off of violence and pain. This causes Zander to push everyone away while Van desires closeness with friends.I struggled to get through the first third of the book since there seemed mostly to be teenage angst on overload that was only heightened by the curse. However, as the mystery of their condition became more pronounced, more was discovered about the mysterious new girl, Ivy, and the relationships grew deeper, I couldn't put it down. I felt that there were some similarities to the Twilight series (uncontrollable hunger for certain people, struggle to not hurt that person, first love). But there is more to unravel, since this is the first in the series, and the siblings don't even know what more they can do or be and that there may be ways to control their craving for destruction. I plan to read the next title, Wicked Power (I think) to see how this series progresses.

    Good suspenseful and entertaining it is nice and creative and very unique. I couldn't put it down if I had tried. I love a story that I can fall into and enjoy. This is the case with this book! An easy to follow and love the book with characters you come to care for. All too often people forget to stop and pretend for a while. This is a great world to escape into at any time.I am a sucker for sci-fi and fantasy, I admit it. It's just so much fun to be able to imagine the limitless worlds that authors build, the battles, the relationships between characters, the magic... everything. The main character was very likeable, and to be completely honest, I really felt for all the characters. The author allowed me to have a real connection with them, which is rare for me.If you want a book that sticks to the sci-fi and fantasy genre that you love, all while doing something completely new and different with it, this is the perfect book for you.

    I only got though 1/4 of this book before I gave up. The wiring was good, but I just didn't grasp it.

    All teenagers have secrets. But, Vanessa, who prefers to be known as Van, and her brother Zander, are two high school students with secrets that have fatal implications. For reasons they do not understand, they are subject to compulsions to hurt and kill certain people at certain times. Van runs a dance class in the evenings and Zander is the school’s star athlete, enabling both to work out some of their aggressive tendencies.Things are going well until the arrival of Ivy. Van feels an immediate urge to hurt the girl, and so does Zander upon first meeting her. His feelings, though, quickly turn to desire, which puts him, Van and everyone around them in grave danger.This is a novel that is hard to really put into a pigeon hole. Part horror, part fantasy, with a hint of science fiction, DelSherree Gladden’s Wicked Hunger is an electrifying tale that will cause the hairs on your body to stand on end. Gladden is in a class by herself and you won’t be disappointed with what she has to offer – take my word on it.
