Kiss of the Night

The book started out very good, lot of action and deep developed characters.....fast paced, and very nail-biting at some points.....BUT, at about three-forth's through the book......it seems to stumble, and come to a halt....not sure what happened, but lost compete interest in it from there on......and just closed it without finishing it..... Had a second one by her, a sequel to this one....and just didn't even bother with it.

I can't believe it - Kenyon only gets better!

After several books in a successful series, you sometimes fear that the books will fall into a predictable formula, but this book proves that Sherrilyn Kenyon continues to be an original! First, let me tell you that I have every one of her Dark-Hunter books and I LOVE them. But Kiss of the Night was the first of the series to make me cry! (and as a life-long reader, that doesn't happen very often at all). I laughed, sniffed and cheered the entire time. The moving story of Wulf and Cassandra shred my heart and put all the pieces back together, but I loved every minute of it. All of the previous books are fantastic, but this book goes beyond the surface story and deals with the darker emotions of despair and anguish that exist below the surface of the world of the Hunter. This is the first of the stories that took me on a roller coaster ride with the book in one hand, and a box of tissues in the other - keeping me enchanted every single minute! This time Kenyon raises the stakes even higher, teasing us with a glimpse into new background characters and stories, and shows her readers that we have only just begun to explore the world of the Hunter Legends! The journey has only just begun!

AMAZING...they just keep getting better and better

I don't think I can say it better than lunafelis' review (great review lunafelis)!!!This was, to me,the most complex of the Dark-Hunter books, and I loved it. So many new insights into various species (is that the right word for these people) that encompass this series.I can't say it better than lunafelis did, so read her review, she did an outstanding job of saying exactly what I would say about this book!!!

VERY NICE

I agree that this story is the best one yet of the dark hunter series. I really liked the way the writer showed us who Daimons actually are, they are not all evil. Very nice job Ms. Kenyon.

BEST YET

Super plotting, dialogue, characters... It's a great series, and I swear this is the best yet. Intense. We finally get a chance to get up close and personal with the Apollites and Daimons, the prey of the DARK HUNTERS, and learn new and fascinating information about them. Very cool. The bare bones, the Dark Hunter Wulf must keep the Apollite Cassandra safe from the many factions who want her dead. She is the last in a bloodline that must survive or the world as we know it will perish. She is fast approaching final birthday, and the dark choice of dying in agony or becoming a Daimon is hard upon her. For Wulf and Cassandra, love between them is a bittersweet wonder. Even if they can keep Cassandra safe from assassins and vengeful gods, time itself will claim her.New characters, lots of interaction with ones we've already met. New mysteries added to the wealth of intrigue already built up in previous books. This stands alone as a suspenseful drama, with heated romance, but it also is a part of a larger story arc with the other novels that slowly build up a gripping backstory and create a brand new mythic soap opera of ancient gods caught up in passions of love and hate.My eyes are recovering from crying buckets from the 'grab you by the heart and squeeze' drama that was so well worded ... really gorgeous dialogue, thumps hard in a good way.Good stuff!!! Way good stuff!!! Lots and lots of new characters to purr over and hope get their own novels soon. Strong, potent read on every level. All the others have been really good, but this is Dark Hunter novel kicks it up a notch. I read it straight through. It's almost 4am my time, and I'm getting my review in now while it's fresh. I'm so pleased with this read. >^,,^<
