“You’ve fought the undead before,” he said in a deep, slightly accented voice.
“The undead? Is that what you call those creatures?”
“Yes. For that is what they are—undead.”
It made sense, since they decomposed so quickly once they were taken out. Remembering what he’d first said about her having fought the creatures before, she pulled herself up straighter. “It’s not the first time I’ve come across undead.”
His intense gaze looked her up and down, causing the ache in her pussy to increase. With him standing so close, she found it a fight not to reach out and see how hard his body was, especially in the area between his legs that seemed to be sporting an interesting bulge.
“The sword,” he said. “How did you know bronze is an undead’s weakness?”
She shrugged. Falon wasn’t about to tell this stranger she’d dreamed of a man’s voice two nights before her first hunt, telling her she needed a bronze sword and where she had to go to get one. And she for damn sure wouldn’t tell him her sword had already been forged, paid for with her name on the sales receipt when she’d gone to the place the voice had sent her.
When he seemed to wait for an answer, she said, “I just knew.”
“You’re very good with a sword.”
“I’ve had lots of practice.”
Silence fell between them when he took another step closer. His gaze seemed to focus harder on her, and Falon felt as if she’d become sucked into it. Unable to pull away, she didn’t move when he reached across them and placed his hand on the left side of her chest, directly over her heart.
He drew in a breath and then said almost reverently, “Falon.”
The sound of him saying her name shot a jolt of arousal through her. Her blood heated even more when an image of him and her naked, their bodies straining against each other as they had sex filled her head. It abruptly disappeared when she gasped sharply.
A few more seconds passed before he lowered his hand and clamped it around her wrist. “You’re the key,” he said.
Falon quickly tried to pull her wits together when he took a couple of steps back, taking her along with him. “What? What key?” When he didn’t answer and continued to drag her along, even though she dug in her heels, she yanked at her arm. “Stop. Where do you think you’re taking me?” she demanded.
“Where I can watch over you.”
She struggled harder. “I don’t think so. I don’t need anyone to watch over me, especially not some strange man I just met.”
He suddenly stopped walking, causing her to almost slam into his back, and turned to face her. “I’m not some strange man. My name is Takan, and you are mine.”
The possessiveness in his voice caused her pussy to clench, but the saner part of her didn’t like what he’d said…at all. Before she could think of a way to get free, Takan yanked her close so she slammed against his chest, released her wrist and buried his hand in her hair at the back of her head. His lips descended, taking hers in a kiss that just about turned her legs to jelly.
Falon didn’t normally get swept away by a man’s kiss, but with Takan it felt as if her world centered on him, all her senses attuned only on the man who held her. The scent of the cologne he wore filled her nose with each breath she took. The feel of his hard body had her resisting the urge to rub up against him. And the way he took her lips, it was no gentle exploratory kiss. It was filled with raw hunger and need, causing her to libido to soar even higher.
She kissed him back, reaching up to put a stranglehold on the front of his t-shirt while she kept the sword in her other hand pointed down at her side. When his tongue swept along the seam of her lips, she opened to allow him entrance. The feel of it twining with hers, stroking and tasting, had her becoming more excited. Pressed as she was against him, Falon felt the unmistakable ridge of his erection nestled along her belly.
A soft moan rose from her. And when Takan sucked her tongue into his mouth, she clutched his shirt tighter. She explored, stroking the roof of his mouth before running her tongue along his teeth. He groaned when she touched a rather pointed tooth. Falon shifted to the other side and found a match. Given how pointed and sharp they felt, the teeth had to be fangs.
Her mind whirling with the thought she actually kissed one of the creatures, the undead she sought to destroy each night, Falon acted as if she was still into his kiss. Slowly, so as not to alert him to what she did, she lifted her sword arm, pulled it back and stabbed the tip into Takan’s stomach. With a grunt of pain, his hold loosened and Falon pushed him away, taking a step back to watch him start to decompose.
But when Takan only pressed his hand against his stomach and it came away red with blood, Falon shook her head. Had she made a terrible mistake? She shook her head again. “How can you be bleeding? You have fangs. I felt them. You have to be one of those creatures, only a type I’ve never seen before.”
“I bleed because I’m not one of the undead. I’m very much alive.”
Falon backed away. “Then what are you? A vampire? You aren’t exactly human. You’re still standing. A normal person would be down for the count after receiving a belly wound.”
“It takes a lot more than this to take me out.” Takan took a few steps toward her, but stopped short when she held her sword in front of her. “It’s all right, Falon. I won’t hurt you.”
He smiled as if to reassure her, flashing the fangs she’d felt while they’d kissed. The horror of the night five years before came rushing back. Inside her head, all she saw was what she’d thought had been a man lunging at her as he tried to bite her with sharp fangs. Even worse was the image of her boyfriend having his neck torn into by the very thing she’d barely managed to escape.
Fighting the fear that threatened to take her over—something she hadn’t allowed to happen since that horrific night—Falon spun on her heel and fled. Without looking behind her to see if Takan followed, she ran as fast as her legs would carry her.

4.75 Stars Top Pick: This is the last book in a great series. Though there is a small hint that Ra himself is fed up of being single. So only Ms. Chenery herself knows if this is the final book, but I’ve certainly enjoyed reading them. We at last find out the secret Takan has been hiding from his warrior brethren. And Ms. Chenery teaches the reader that there is another fictional plot device as bafflingly effective, as Clarke Kent’s glasses.--CYD, Night Owl Reviews
5 Siren Stones: Foreseen Hunger starts out action packed and keeps on going. This fast-paced story will have your attention the entire time. Foreseen Hunger is filled with exciting plot twists and turns that keep the pages turning all on their own. There is so much that is revealed and brought to closure that you will have to read the story because I won’t spoil the fun and adventure. All too soon I came to, “The End”, but Marisa Chenery left enough breathing room to play in this world again if she chooses. This was a fun and enjoyable read. Marisa Chenery knows how to spin a tale.--Stacey Krug, Siren Book Reviews
5 Hearts: Foreseen Hunger is the sixth book in the Ra's Chosen series. And if they're all as exciting as this one -– which I bet they are -– then it appears I have some books to buy. The intriguing plot together with the witty dialogue between the two main characters was what made this book such an excellent read as do the hot sex scenes and the sexy secondary characters that were Takan's comrades in arms. Lastly though, this book is a must read if you're a fan of paranormal books and alpha males. Also, it's great if you just want to read as well. But definitely start with book one in this series, because you'll learn just how Ra's other chosen warriors found their mates too.--Bec, The Romance Studio
4.5 Cherries: Foreseen Hunger is one of those books that makes you happy and sad at the same time. I was so happy to read it because it was the latest from a favorite author and yet I was sad to see that it was the book that wraps up the series. I loved going back into the world of Ra’s Chosen. Each and every one of the warriors is special in their own way. Yet it seems many readers enjoy Taken the most and I am among them. Marisa Chenery has woven a wondrous world full of romance and magic in this series and this book is a great wrap up to this series. I really enjoyed the emotion and depth of the characters in this book, making it one that should not be missed.--Mistletoe, Whipped Cream
4 Hoots: Readers who enjoy reading at a fast pace will enjoy Foreseen Hunger. Chenery's writing is short, sweet and straight to the point, with lots of hot, steamy sex. Oh, yeah, and a good storyline to go along with it. Readers just now discovering this series' will not find them-selves lost in this sixth installment. Also, faithful fans of the series will appreciate the fact that Chenery does not do as a lot of other writers do, and drone on and on about where the warriors originated, and what their purpose is. She provides just enough information to satisfy all. Readers will enjoy watching, in their minds eye, Takan and Falon clash swords with each other, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom.--Tiffany, Nocturne Romance Reads
