Summary: Mad, Bad and Immortal is Right
Review: Sherrilyn Kenyon! ^5!
I must say that I have been waiting for this book for just about 2 years, being a dark-hunter.com addict, I'm not dissapointed.
If you like sensual, sophisticated and sarcastically witty males, pick up this book! Can not wait for the rest of the series.

Summary: "Pleasure" to read ...
Review: I consider myself fortunate to have stumbled across this fantastic new series. Sherrilyn Kenyon (who also writes under the name Kinley MacGregor) has created an entirely new mythology around her Dark-Hunters, Were-Hunters and Dream-Hunters. I recommend a visit to her outstanding web site, HunterLegends.com, to get a feel for her larger world. Ms. Kenyon is a web site developer by trade, and that is immediately obvious when you visit her sites. They are among the finest author sites I've seen.Other reviewers have done a great job of outlining the plot to "Night Pleasures." I picked the book up by chance in an airport, and have read it through twice just this week. The dialogue is snappy and sophistocated, the story well-paced, the characters fascinating and well-developed, and the heroes are all "mad, bad and immortal." Ms. Kenyon has an extensive series of sequels planned, so get in on the beginning, because you won't want to miss out on any of the excitement!

Summary: Another Great One....
Review: She did it again. I could not put this one down, it traps you within the first few pages. I have been patiently awaiting this new novel and was not disappointed. Night Pleasures is another great book and I look forward to more from this author. This one is a keeper! Although this appears to be a first in the Dark Hunter series, the author has included the characters from her Fantasy Lover novel - (which is also a great book) Grace and Julian's story. It was good to have an update on their lives. It is hard for me to believe that this same author wrote Master of Desire and Master of Seduction, (as Kinley MacGregor) which I have also read and consider to be average, they just do not compare to the writing she's done as Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Summary: Exciting start to a stellar new series
Review: Sherrilyn Kenyon does it again - writing a wonderful fantasy romance. Her "-Hunter" series promises to be an exciting one. She fully develops the mythology surrounding her characters and slyly introduces several new players, which the reader immediately becomes attached to and wants to know more about. As a series long fan of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, I appreciate the detail that Kenyon shows in describing the strict code and rules that the -Hunters will abide by. This book is exciting, sensual and detailed. I highly recommend it as a great read!

Summary: enjoyable romantic fantasy
Review: During the height of the Roman Empire, no opponent lasted long against the mighty legions. That is except Kyrian of Thrace, who led his people to victory against the invincible Romans. Just when it seemed as if Kyrian would rule the known world, betrayal left him for dead. However, instead of a simple death, Kyrian "dies" as he lived by becoming the "Ruler of the Night" seeking two things: to hunt the soul stalking Daimans and to find a woman who does not betray him to his immortal foes. Desiderius, an elder Daiman, binds Kyrian to modern day New Orleans resident Amanda Deveraux, the accountant in a family of psychics and vampire hunters. As Kyrian struggles to liberate him and Amanda from their magical handcuffs, the bound couple begins to fall in love. However, the last time he fell in love, his beloved betrayed him to his enemy. Amanda does not want some soulless wandering killer for a mate when she only desires a faithful CPA. Fans of romantic fantasy will gain plenty of pleasure by reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest offbeat tale. The store line is loaded with action in a world that feels real while the key cast members seem genuine too whether they are paranormal, mythical or human. It is that feeling of authenticity in her plots that makes Ms. Kenyon one of the leading sub-genre authors with cross appeal to pure fantasy readers as both groups will enjoy this novel and her previous work FANTASY LOVER.

Summary: Night Pleasures
Review: I won't go into what the book is about since someone else has already done this. But I thought it was a little slow. It began to drag about the hero and heroine having sex and went on and on. The plot was good however and a different twist on the vampire scene from other books I have read. There is a good and romantic ending. You will also feel a lot of compassion for the long suffering hero.

Summary: All hail the queen of the damned... romance
Review: Could Ms. Sherrilyn Kenyon have descended from the Heavens? If not why would her latest paranormal romance which is a smashing smorgasbord of Buffy-the-vampire slayer episodes, Anne Rice's Lestat tales and Greek myths and allegory be of such sprawling imagination and consistency? Raised in a family that matches the eccentricity of Addams enough to scare her clerk boyfriend Cliff away, uptight Amanda Deveraux stymies her psyhic powers to preserve a shred of normalcy. A trip to her vampire-exorcist sister Tabihita's home turns pivotal as she is knocked unconscious and ends up handcuffed to gorgeous hunk Kyrian of Thrace, the brooding Dark-hunter embarking on a mission to slay the powerful Daimon Desiderius who snatches the souls of human to survive their mortality of 27 years. It is amazing how Ms. Kenyon integrates Greek mythology with the tale. She brings in Julius from Fantasy Lovers to explain Zeus and progenitor Apollo in their indirect connection to the birth of Apollites and how its creator curses them to become treacherous Daimon who is bent on the destruction of human. Kyrian is one of the wretched souls who embarks on the road to perdition with the betrayal of his infidel of a wife Theone. He is scarred emotionally and physically from love - and Amanda who is moved by his giving spirits and chivalrous soul - becomes the unexpected healer with her undying love. Their romance is equal parts heart-searing and schmaltzy with emotions and chemistry. Ms. Kenyon's paranormal romance is a marvel with its ensemble of colourful and quirky characters especially that of the comically larcenous squire Nick, the enigmatic compatriots Talon and Acheron and of course the exuberant Deveraux family as well as the sagely Aphrodite, Julius and Grace. Even the villain is nuanced with betrayals of his own. Right up to the twisting epilogue where Kyrian and Amanda finds a way to preserve their love and the ferocious jugular battle with the demon, it is exciting and gleefully wacky in high-styled flamboyance and mindless entertainment. Vampire-slaying has never been this cool or such a riotous sexy night pleasure.

Summary: Smashingly Good! Keep the Dark-Hunters Coming Ms. Kenyon
Review: Woah! What a trip. I haven't read a paranormal with as much wit and energy since Dara Joy's Knight of A Trillion Stars. I'll admit this story has its share of speed-bumps, but it never loses its momentum and its got a whole lotta heart in it.
Kyrian of Thrace has been a Dark-Hunter for the last 2000+ years. His job is too hunt down the Daimons, a monsterous race that lives by sucking the blood and souls of humans(The stronger the soul, the better). His current target is Desiderious, a Daimon whose a lot stronger than he should be and has managed to kill the last couple of dark-hunters who went after him. The Daimon is cooking up a sinister plan that involves handcuffing Kyrian to a mortal vampire hunter, Tabitha Deveraux. The only flaw is that he ends up chaining Kyrian to Amanda, her twin sister. What follows is a fun exciting adventure as Kyrian and Amanda must work together to dodge murderous vamps, get unchained, and stop Desiderious.
A point in favor of the Dark-Hunters books is that Kyrian is not the mourn-mourn-i'm-a-hated-vampire-god-hates-me-blah-blah type that keeps cropping up or the-super-dominant-Feehan-recyclable-Carpathian-bot model 2000. He's got a great dark sense of humor that had me in hysterics more than once.
The sexual tension is at such a degree that I have expected Kyrian and Amanda to leave burning ashes in their wake.
I can't wait for the next book which as about Talon, a Dark-Hunter who controls the elements and communes with the dead, not to mention the were-hunters and dream-hunters sagas!

Summary: Sherrilyn Kenyon flys to the TOP with her Dark Hunters debut
Review: Kyrian of Thrace walks the world in the shadows of darkness, in solitude. What other choice could he have after having sold his soul for revenge? Kyrian lives his life searching out those who would steal souls from the innocent; the Daimons. He is a Dark Hunter that hails from Roman times, where he was a Prince, and a Macedonian Commander. He's used to being in command of every situation, and always calling the shots. Then he meets Amanda Devereaux. Amanda Devereaux is not having the greatest life lately. She's just been dumped by her fiancé-but after her family really laid on the hokey act for him, could she really blame him? And now her twin, Tabitha-whom she was REALLY steamed at-wants her to help her out by running down to her house to once again let the dog out. Sigh. When will she learn? When Amanda gets knocked upside the head upon entering Tabitha's house, and awakens to find herself handcuffed to a "buff stud in black leather", who claims to be a Dark Hunter--kinda like a vampire--she thinks she's learned. Hunter, as he claims that's his name, is one of the most awesome specimens of manhood she's ever seen-why, oh, why couldn't he be normal? Once Kyrian get himself and Amanda released from the handcuff, he knows he's got to get away from this intriguing woman. He can't trust himself around her, because he's enticed by every little move she makes, every breath. And he can't allow himself to be drawn in by a woman for anything. His life didn't make allowances for that. But he finds himself drawn back to her, again and again, and when he finds out that her life is in danger-what else is he to do except take care of her himself? Kyrian and Amanda light sparks off one another, and the contest to see who can one up the other makes for fun and lightning fast dialogue that will crack you up. The sexual tension sizzles off the pages, and the story is so fast paced and packed with action you trip over your own fingers getting to the next page. Filled with information and introductions to the Dark Hunter world, you'll find yourself reaching for the next book immediately-only it's not out yet! Sherrilyn Kenyon has written a keeper and a half. This book is filled with scene after scene that will amaze and tantalize you, and wonder when Sherri visited this world of her creation. She uses humor, and pain, and takes us the whole spectrum of our emotions. Perfection is the only word I can use to describe it, and I don't know that that conveys all that I feel about this book. I've already reread the Advanced Reading Copy three times, and am slobbering in anticipation of the next Dark Hunter novel. This is a MUST read!

Summary: great start to the series
Review: This was a great book. The dialogue was snappy, characters interesting, and the conflict heartbreaking. I can't wait for the next book. If you like Christine Feehan's Dark series, or Karen Moning's highlander series, you will really like these books!
