Summary: Sequel to Shades of Grey Ties Loose Ends....
Review: I read this book not knowing it was the sequel to 'Shades of Grey', yet it isn't marketed as such. So if you haven't read 'Shades..', do that before reading this since the main characters do not take up many pages in the book, but the main characters from Shades do. In other words, this book should've been advertized as the continuence of Grigori and Marisa's life, not the emergence of a new vampire he'd made named Edward Ramsey.
Edward was supposed to be the main character and driving force in the book and possibly a little scarier than Grigori, but nope, I wasn't convinced. Edward was too whiny and selfish to be a hero.
His being a former Hunter of Vampires and coming from a great line of Hunters I was hoping for something very impressive, but what we got was complaining and him feeling sorry for himself. Grigori saved his life in the pervious novel, thus making him what he is now and all he does is blame the vampire and lash out at him almost the entire book.
Edward's obsession with Marisa is kinda weird and after awhile we the reader start to wonder why Grigori saved him afterall. The love interest Edward is supposed to be going for is a broken woman named Kelly who tries to kill herself and he saves her. In return she stays at his house and keeps an eye out for him while he sleeps.
I liked Kelly and thought she deserved a better hero. Edward was too selfish for her and tended to grate on my nerves. Thankfully the author started out with him in almost all the chapters, then moved away from him and Kelly and went on to put the light on Grigori and Marisa for the rest of the book. Which was a great deal. We get to see what happens to them and their new relationship.
A very good book, very well written and with lots of action. My only complaint was the main characters Edward and Kelly; could've done without them. Edward Ramsey spent his life hunting the very thing that he has become. His conscience is screaming for him to end it all, but somehow he doesn't have the will. Things start to change when a desperate woman tries to end her life and Edward must save her.
Kelly gives him reason to live on, even as a monster. He needs her love and kind heart, but she's been hurt and trampled on too many times.
An ancient evil is in town too. A merciless, yet stunning creature named Khira. She is seeking supremacy in L.A and wants her former lover back...Grigori. Edward must join forces with his sire and enemy Grigori to take down the oldest evil known, but will it be too late? Will she devour Los Angeles? Tracy Talley~@

Summary: Not one of her best.
Review: In this latest story by Amanda Ashley, Edward Ramsey, a former Vampyre hunter, is brought over by Grigori Chiavari after Ramsey almost dies killing one of Chiavari's enemies. Ramsey hates being one of the things that he devoted his mortal life destroying. He rescues Kelly, beautiful woman whom he eventually falls in love with and she helps him to accept his new life. Then Khira comes to town and she is determined to destroy the vampires and humans alike in Los Angeles. Critique: I love Vampire stories. There is usually nothing more exotic and sensual as a vampire, but this story lacked quite a bit. The story line did not move smoothly. I felt that a lot of dialogue and scenes were reused over and over and over. The character development was practically non-existent. You would think the story will be more about Kelly and Ramsey, but you find out more about Chiavari and his wife Marisa. I did not feel anything for these characters and had to force myself to finish the book. When I finally read the last word I sighed...not with satisfaction, but with relief. If you are an Amanda Ashley fan, maybe you will adore this novel, but others...beware!

Summary: My Shelf... Book Reviewer
Review: The dark gift had been bestowed upon him . . . Edward Ramsey was confused by his existence. Once a well-known vampire hunter, he now found himself one of the undead, that which he once hunted. On one of his nightly outings, he happened upon a young woman intent on ending her life. He made the decision to interfere with her plans and keep in her the world of the living. By doing so, how will it affect his life? He saved her from certain death . . . Kelly Anderson stood on the far edge of the pier, staring down into the still black water below. It looked cold enough to numb her pain. She was convinced that she had nothing to live for. As she jumped in the bottomless pool, she was unprepared to be saved by a guardian angel. When she awoke, she discovered that the man who had saved her was far from an Angel. Amanda Ashley has created an exceptional sequel to accommodate her book Shade of Gray. Edward Ramsey has all the elements that make for an irresistible read. The dark shadows that surround his existence are very appealing. I feel this is one of Ashley's most compelling novels I have read. The talent that she so effortlessly exhibits is why she is one of the most sought after authors in the business. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Her worst book
Review: This is just mho but I thought this book was blah. I read all Amanda Ashley's vampire books and loved them. I just couldn't get into this one. I did not like the heroine Kelly at all. She was almost "slutty" compared to Ashley's other heroines and I didn't believe her character to be genuine or real at all. I don't like it when the heroine is more sexually experienced than the hero. ALso this book focused too much on two couples rather than developing a better relationship between the main one. I think back to her older books and this one pales in comparison. I hope she writes another vampire romance in a style that is more like her older ones.

Summary: Top of the Line Vampire Thriller
Review: This is one great vampire novel. Not your run of the mill story. It has love, action, terror and is full of surprises. I like the inclusion of the characters from "Shades of Gray." I thought Edward and Grigori's stories combined to make a really exciting book. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought Edward received enough attention. I liked Kelly and love Marissa and their relationship with the vampires. Khira was an added thrill and Ted brought some humor into a really terrifying situation. Amanda Ashley has really done it this time with both "Shades of Gray" and "After Sundown." Read them in sequence and you are in for a really terrific weekend. Pay no attention to the negative comments. I am a vampire novel fan and have read so many I can't count them. These two novels are at the top of my list for every reason that one reads vampire novels. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Okay.
Review: This was a okay book. I think it should have focused more on the main characters (Edward and Kelly). The relationship moved a little too fast with her becoming a vampire too quickly. It wasn't bad but it could have been better.
