Review

PRAISE FOR SHERRILYN KENYON

"Kenyon is the reigning queen of the vampire novel."--Barbara Vey, Publishers Weekly

“An engaging read.”—Entertainment Weekly on Devil May Cry

“Kenyon’s writing is brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative. These are not your mother’s vampire novels.”—The Boston Globe on Dark Side of the Moon

 



Product Description

Dear Reader,Life is great for me.I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone.Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear.For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain.All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants.Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me.She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago.With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing.But for me to love her would mean her death.I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.--Talon of the Morrigantes

2.0 out of 5 stars Missed it's potential..., Dec 30 2008
By N. Rae - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Night Embrace: A Dark-Hunter Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a huge fan of J R Ward's vampire series (the first vampire stories I've ever read). Since I have finished her series (twice over, I might add) I am now searching for some other writers in the genre. Due to the large number of positive feedback reviews for this writer, I was sure I was on to something good. However, this book fell far short of what I've come to expect. I found myself slogging through it, hoping that at some point it would redeem itself, but in the end, it just didn't do it for me. I found the dialogue stilted, the plot not particularly interesting, and much of it just plain unbelievable. There was alot of repetition and the flow was constantly interrupted by secondary characters that became more interesting to me than the central ones. I never got to the point of liking the heroine, Sunshine, so never cared if she got her happily ever after. My advice? Don't waste your time on this book. I will probably try to read another book by this author but if that book is as bad as this one, I'm done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fast Paced, throughly enjoyable!!!!!, Jun 10 2004
By Melissa Reyes "Storyfairy" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ms. Kenyon's work just keep getting better and better. I think that this was the most enjoyable book I've read in a while. Talon, an anciet Celtic Chieftain, is a Dark- Hunter (A soulless hunter that is there to protect humans from the soul steal vampires that haunt the night.) When he meets the reincarnation of his wife his seemingly, emtionless life is turned upside down in a fun twisting story that will keep you highly entertained.

A great read, I couldn't put it down!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just average., April 28 2004
By Romance Lover "vt2949" (Sacramento, California USA) - See all my reviews
I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with the books in this series. I don't know how long Ms. Kenyon has been writing, but she needs a lot of improvement. Yes, she has come up with a novel, engaging fantasy world. But it is as if she used up all of her creative energy in the conceiving. As with the second book, I feel as if she is making this stuff up as she goes. The result is a confusing hodgepodge of characters who seem very comic-book like. This author is particularly inept at writing dialogue (there wasn't a single line of dialogue that would have come out of a real person's mouth) and fight scenes. Essentially, every male in this book is complete comic book caricature: tall, gorgeous and [tough] with too much attitude. They were all too busy spouting one-liners to say anything intelligent or compelling.

On top of that, the Talon/Sunshine love story was not the least bit compelling. I have no idea why the issue of reincarnation was placed in this story, because it completely killed the little romantic potential that already existed. I guess reincarnation explained how Talon and Sunshine could fall in love in one day, but why was that necessary? Because they fell in love so quickly, the rest of their story consisted of them repeating the same angst-ridden thoughts over and over and over.

Finally, I'm getting tired of the "poor me" attitude of the lead male characters. Will there ever be a happy Dark Hunter? Or at least one who has a healthy mental attitude? Is that too much to ask? The whole [I was severely mistreated in my past so I've remained angry for centuries] schtick is getting really old. I keep wanting to tell these Dark Hunters, "Get over yourselves!"
