Sins of the Night
Book eight takes us out of New Orleans (where most of the past books have occurred), and introduces us to a new team of Dark-Hunters in Mississippi. While they have also been trained and lead by Acheron, it appears that they are not as close to him as the Louisiana team. Problems are arising, and some Dark-Hunters are being lead astray by other team members who are certain Acheron has an ulterior motive for the Dark-Hunters. The same cycle occurs every hundred years or so, (losing many dark hunters to love and a few to traitorous Dark-Hunter rogues that decide to defy Acheron).
My Book Reviews
Book Review – Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Seize the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 7) (Dark-Hunter World)
It has been hinted, in past books, that the pompous and possibly malevolent Dark-Hunter, Valerius, might not have the heart of stone that his father and grandfather did. There might be more to him than what is portrayed by his arrogant persona. In this book, (book 7), we get to luxuriate in his distinguished, cultivated, yet sensitive side, and he proves to be a man worth loving (which I most certainly did!)
Again, another winner of a book, the refined Valerius crosses paths with the exorbitant self proclaimed “vampire hunter”, Tabitha (Amanda’s twin sister). After stabbing him (she was slightly overzealous in her Daimon killing), she brings him to her place to help him heal. Realizing who he is (the enemy of her own brother-in-law, Kyrian), she understands the necessity of hiding the fact that they are helping each other (and somewhat temporarily living together).
Book Review – Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Night Play
Right off the bat, I want to apologize for the amount of excerpts I have used in this review. I simply loved too many parts of this book, and just had to include my favorite sections. Let’s just say, it’s a “celebration” of the moments that captured me.
Another great book to the series, Book six (Vane’s book) shifts gears slightly and allows us into the world of the Were-Hunters. I loved it and would consider it one of my favorites so far! Vane was one of the sweetest, most gentle and least brazen of the bunch.
Book Review – Kiss of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Kiss of the Night
Book five focuses on the Dark-Hunter, Wulf Tryggvasen. While he has been mentioned, and somewhat included, in past installments, (he is Talon’s best friend), we have not had much exposure to him until now. Gorgeous, and charismatic, Wulf has one tiny catch! He has been cursed in that no unrelated human will remember him five minutes after they meet him. It doesn’t matter how many times they meet him, or that they might even work for him…even an unforgettable night with him, he will simply be forgotten five minutes after he walks away.
Book Review – Shadowlight by Lynn Viehl
Lynn Viehl’s “Shadowlight” starts a new series involving a group of people called “Kyndred”. The Kyndred appear to be humans with a special power (for example, one who can sense a person’s future with a simple touch, one who can physically transform herself into someone’s true love, one who can control the weather etc…). The majority (at least from what we gather in this book) live and work amongst the regular human population, but hide their abilities. A few have found each other on the Internet, and while they do not ever meet (for fear of being tracked down), they chat regularly in an attempt to support each other and possibly discover how they have become this way.
