Eat Pray Love meets American Psycho in a seductive and sinister debut literary thriller.

Food critic Dorothy Daniels indulges in her homicidal urges by murdering her lovers and devouring their organs in this intense, visceral, and lushly told tale of food, sex, power, and the pursuit of a very particular taste set between New York and Italy.

Please Note: A Certain Hunger contains adult language and depictions of violence. Discretion is advised.

A unique and interesting read overall. The narrator is incredibly and eerily believable and deserves a round of applause. The concept was unique and brilliant, plus again, totally believable. The descriptions are incredible and immersive. The only thing I think could have been improved was the story arc/ending. It kind of just dropped off and I was left wanting more in a disappointing way. But nevermind, it was still a fantastic read.

I was salivating to listen to this from the minute I read the description and hit preorder immediately. After listening to it twice I can safely say it satisfies. Chelsea G Summers' lush writing style will leave you hungry one moment and disgusted the next as she paints vivid scenes of culinary delights and bloody murder. The protagonist is unlikable but also someone you'd secretly love to be. The memior style narration lets her chew on the scenery like over cooked steak (which she would never abide) it the best possible way. If you love a bloody page turner with a healthy amount of purple prose and just gagging for a female serial killer who could go toe to toe with Hannibal Lector, this is for you.

Deliciously Gory and Lush Language
