After a blazing kiss at a Christmas party from the sexy Levi, quiet, unassuming Corrine Lewis realizes that she can no longer settle for an empty and mundane existence. She decides to break off her engagement with her long term love Owen, who just happens to also be Levi’s cousin. Who knew that one evening could change everything so drastically? After Owen and Corrine are attacked by a vampire and Corinne is Changed, so is her life and the lives of those she loves. Still quiet and shy, Corrine has driven herself to the brink by denying her new vampiric needs. In a fever, she goes into the city seeking to sate her powerful desires and sets a series of events into motion that will bring her past roaring back into her life.

Belonging is an intense, fast paced story of passion, love and acceptance. The chemistry between Cori and Levi is so hot and so strong, that it practically sets the pages on fire. Cori’s awkwardness and quiet strength are endearing, and Ms. Walker gives her a sincerity that readers will easily identify with. I couldn’t help but love and lust after Levi, and I was helplessly drawn into his relationship with Cori. The world of the Hunters is vivid and engaging and this is a steamy and tumultuous addition to that world, but the reader doesn’t have to be familiar with the series to fully enjoy this book.
