Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter Novels) [Mass Market Paperback]

Cassandra expects like the rest of her people that she will die on her twenty seventh birthday. But she really knows very little about her mothers people except they seem to think killing her will make their problems go away. One night when their decided to attack her Wulf steps in.

Simple enough for him save the lady and leave. No one ever remembers him five minutes after he leaves anyway except this was one lady he could not get out of his mind. She isnt forgetting like the rest and when he learns tthat when she dies so too do the sun and life. Well now things get interesting as he has got to protect the daughter of a race he is sworn to kill.

This book has to be SK best yet full of the unexpected plot twists and secrets slowly being revealed this is one book you wont want to miss. SK has just put a whole new turn on vampire romance. All your favorite characters from the other dark hunter books make a return and you learn a few new things about Ash.
If you have not read the others in the Dark Hunter set do so or this book wont really make much sense. SKs characters are so vivid and alive in every book that she can take any secondary chracter and give them a whole story of their own with out ever leaving the one before.
Thank you SK for another keeper.

WULF is a viking warrior tricked by the God LOKI to find himself an immortal Darkhunter in service to ARTEMIS, the Goddess who holds his soul. He is unfortunately the victim of a futher curse and discovers that no one but another DH or a direct descendant of his brother's bloodline will remember him 5 minutes after leaving his presence. This results in an overbearing protectiveness towards his only living relative CHRIS,a young man wrapped in cotton wool from birth and regularly urged by WULF to ..ahem .. sow his wild oats.

Manipulated by the Gods, WULF finds himself in a position where he must guard CASSANDRA, a member of the very race he has hunted and killed since becoming immortal. Seeking sanctuary in ELYSIA, an underground APOLLITE community, the reader is introduced fully to their society for the first time. We (and WULF) certainly have our eyes opened and it appears that not all Daimons are nasty soul sucking killers!

This book has an almost frenzied pace, red hot passion and loads of action, all skillfully entwined to create an exciting and imaginative read. We learn more of the Atlantean Destroyer and at last meet members of the elite Daimon squad, the SPATHI. ASH and SIMI crop up (their conversations always raise a smile) and of course we have the usual bucket load of vengeful Gods, Demi-Gods and evil Daimons battling for dominance over an oblivious human race. SK certainly answers questions in this book but raises even more interesting ones ... what is KAT's history and her ties to both ARTEMIS and APOLLYMI and who/what exactly is ASH, also referred to as the ELEKTI in this book and regarded as a formidable opponent by the Destroyer herself? I have my own theories but SK does keep the reader dangling (my only complaint). The DARKHUNTER series raised a wonderfully high standard from the start with JULIAN in FANTASY LOVER (though of course fans will know he is a Demi-God rather than a DH) and all the ensuing stories have been fantastic. KISS OF THE NIGHT certainly equals its predecessors and will definitely captivate lovers of true romance and fantasy. Yes there is a lot of action in this book but it in no way overshadows the blossoming relationship between WULF and CASS. I finally finish with a plea to SK - I am definitely available for Squire service .... any vacancies please please please give me a call!!
