"Vampire series for the adult set. Dark hunters are men and women who traded their souls to the goddess Artemis for the opportunity to seek revenge against people who wronged them. In return, they hunt evil daimons-Apollites who have taken to stealing human souls to prolong their short lives. Dark hunters and daimons are both creatures of the night, and though the dark hunters have fangs, their job is to protect humanity. In this installment, Kyrian of Thrace, best friend to Julian from Fantasy Lover, meets the one person who can possibly help him reclaim his soul and become human again. But he is charged with destroying an evil daimon, a demigod with extraordinary powers-a task the oracles say can only be carried out by a dark hunter with a soul. Kyrian will do his duty, or die trying. Light and enjoyable, the series promises to be a fun read."
"Definitely a fluff, you could see it coming, easy and sort of steamy read. I needed a book with a word that rhymes with Light in the title and I found this at the bookstore. I have read some Kenyon before and always enjoyed it, so I knew what I was getting myself into.
I probably would have given this more stars except for one thing that really bugged me, and it was on page 10 in the book, so we sort of started off on the wrong foot. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about and this is a common practice, but Kenyon blatantly plugged one of her own books, written under a pseudonym, in this book... It just begged me.
Also, this had me in hysterics, and I'm not sure it was in a good way..."Before she could argue, he flipped gracefully into the body bag and zipped it closed." Now, I get that vamps cant travel when it's daylight and that they need to be covered from the sun...but could ANYONE really flip GRACEFULLY into a body bag..."
"The fusion of Greek mythology and the modern-day era was superb. This is way better than the first book, I considered "Fantasy Lover" as the first Dark-Hunter novel and I'm glad I read it before this one. Characters were recurring here: Julian and Grace have three kids already and another one on the way, this time the hero is Julian's friend Kyrian (of Thrace), and the heroine Selena's sister Amanda.
Although this is only the second Dark-Hunter book I've read, I picked up a pattern. This one had a lot of similarities with the first one starting with the hero, both were thousand-years-old, the heroines were both plain Janes. There's the curse, and only the heroine can break it but surprisingly this time, the heroine has supernatural powers too. I found some parts redundant though like how Kyrian gave his heart (and more) to a woman before and found out that was the biggest mistake of his mortal life.
The predictability was there but I still liked the story a lot, I found Kyrian's story more interesting, and I loved his character especially the sarcasm. Both he and Amanda had quick wits and sharp tongues and it's fun to read their conversation, serious ones were few as they were bantering most of the time.
There were plenty of sex scenes which were really creative and the way it was written wasn't just a quick tumble in the sheets, but they really helped in developing Kyrian and Amanda's story. First lust, then love, formula always works and it really worked for me."
"Okay, so I guess the Book#1 was more like a related story than the beginning of this series, since there were actually no "Dark-Hunters" in that story. This one starts off the series with some good explanation, action, and lots of smut. A good read, even if it was kind of weird on the kindle (lots of formatting things that were... weird). In the beginning of the book, I stopped to think "Am I reading a real romance novel? Where is the paranormal stuffs?" But, thank goodness, it came into the story, saving me from saying that I read a normal romance by accident ;-) Good story, and I can see how they can milk a bunch more books from the formula -- onward, to the next book!"
