Running in the Dark (Night Runner #1)
by
Regan Summers (Goodreads Author)
Santiago, Chile
After surviving a vampire turf war in Alaska, vampire courier Sydney Kildare is back behind the wheel and working under an assumed name in Chile. She doesn't speak the language, doesn't know the city and—worst of all—has to drive a crappy car.
What she does have is Malcolm Kelly, her sort-of boyfriend and manager of the city's vampire population. But with Mal...more

Favorite Lines: “He’s what was waiting for me when you turned your back and let your guy throw me out of your club. I don’t know how well you’re acquainted with him, but in my experience, he isn’t very nice” (p. 142, e-galley)
I read and enjoyed the first book in Regan Summers’ Night Runners series so much that I’ve read it a couple of times. I’m happy to say I enjoyed the second installment in the series even more.

If Sookie Stackhouse has a kick-butt older sister in thermals and hiking boots, it's Sydney Kildare. They are both humans who have just a bit extra, who are making their way, not just in a world where the vamps have come out of the coffin, but specifically in spheres that are vampire-dominated.
Oh yeah, and they both have boyfriends who are vampires, although Sookie seems to have ditched both of hers for the moment.

Running in the Dark by Regan Summers was a fast pasted vampire romance with lots of action. The heroine, Sydney Kildare, was clever and unique. Her internal dialog was very entertaining and her overall resilience and spunk was a great recipe for an awesome heroine. Running in the Dark starts out after a major change in Sydney’s life. She has been uprooted to Chili after a disturbance in vampire politics in Alaska forced her to rel...more

Running in the Dark is follow up to Don't Bite the Messenger and the start of a new series. I do recommend reading these in order. Vampire Courier Sydney Kildare is now in Santiago, Chile. She doesn't know the language, the roads or pretty much anybody other than sexy vampire Malcolm Kelly. Syd has to start from the bottom at her new job because she can’t call Alaska for references. They think she is dead and it is better that way. Malcolm is busy doing for the Master he owes when crap from his...more
I'd forgotten the hardback I was reading when I traveled for Thanksgiving, so I pulled out the iPad and started reading this book.
And I found myself doing things like standing in the bedroom with only one sock on, because I needed to find out what happened next and couldn't put the book down long enough to put my other sock on.
Or reading at 3am, because I just needed to finish the next chapter, and then I could go to sleep.

While I enjoyed this quick read I would have probably appreciated it a bit more by reading the first novella in the series. I am going to end up going back and reading the first one but it may be a while as my TBR is a bit out of control.
Sydney is a courier and the lover of the local head vampire. She's kick-ass and yet vulnerable which was something I enjoyed. She doesn't do a lot of stupid things even though at times you just want to go why?? You know they will gladly kill you but you still p...more

The Night Runner series is very cool. It's no secret I don't like vampire stories, but Regan Summers hooked me with Don't Bite the Messenger and Running in the Dark continues the attitude and adventure.
It's fast-paced and the world building is excellent -- though I did kind of mourn losing the Alaskan setting (very exotic to an Australian ... all that snow).
Sydney is a fantastic heroine and the strong story from her perspective works really well.

I loved Syndey's personality, style and independence in DON'T BITE THE MESSENGER so I was excited when Regan contacted me with RUNNING IN THE DARK for review. I think its pretty important to read book 0.5 before you jump into book 1 as it will give you the background on the characters and their situations. You might be a bit lost if you try to jump into book 1 without the back story.

The scenery has changed, but life as a courier for the vampires is just as crazy as ever for Sydney Kildare. She had to flee Alaska, where she had made a name for herself in her profession and now she is starting over from the ground-up in Santiago, Chile. And she's trying to make a go of her relationship with Malcolm, the vampire running the city for his boss. Things aren't going well on either fronts.

Anyone who enjoys an action packed fantasy!
A worthy sequel to Don't Bite the Messenger!
As a messenger for vampires, Sydney Kildare is used to danger at every turn. After a brush with death left her fleeing from her job and home in Alaska, Sydney is back to doing what she's great at, running, this time on some unfamiliar turf: Santiago, Chile. Working under an alias, Sydney must make a new name for herself in this new and unknown city but at least she has her boyfriend, vampire Malcolm by her side.

Unique worldbuilding and a fabulous heroine make this a must read for urban fantasy fans. Syd is one of my favorite UF heroines because she is smart, careful, and courageous. She carefully guards herself from the very risky world she runs in, but when the chips are down, she does what she feels is right.
This book is also filled with other wonderful characters. Malcolm, the very hot and mysterious love interest--who is a bit less mysterious by the end of this story (in a good way). And Soraya--we...more

The action was high, the risk was high, the drama was high. But for some reason I just didn't feel connected to the story. I liked Sydney/Aerin. She's smart, witty and kick ass. And Malcolm was a good hero/boyfriend. The other character's were likable too, my fav's being Micky and Soraya. The bad guys were evil, and the mystery was good. But something that I can't quite put my finger on was missing. I didn't love it so I won't be going back to read the first book in the series, but I liked it en...more
I'm thoroughly enjoying this series, despite being a really tough sell on vamps. It's fast-paced, witty, clever and fun. This installment is longer than 'Don't Bite the Messenger,' allowing more thoroughly developed secondary characters and world building. I love the concept of the courier moving oh-so-carefully between the human and vampire worlds. I love the unusual urban settings (Anchorage, AK in the first one; Santiago, Chile in this one), but most of all I love Syd. Such a tough and creati...more
I think I would have done better with this one had I read the previous novella. Hard for me to grasp the world.

Sequel to Don't Bite the Messaenger. Another fast-paced urban fantasy adventure featuring Syd, a courier who works for vampires. This one's set in Chile instead of Anchorage, and has a mostly new set of characters. I enjoyed the developing relationship between Syd and Malcolm, and I liked the new developments with Syd's vampire-resistant power. I'll definitely be on the lookout for book three.
I'm completely digging this series. Fast paced, with a female protagonist full of clever humor, and containing vampires that are as dangerous as they are sexy. (Not to mention, I have a major crush on Malcolm.)
I'd definitely recommend to anyone who likes their paranormal with a darker edge and their vamps to be a little less cuddly!
