We all know the back story of the hero of Stay The Night, but unless you've read Viehl's Darkyn Novel titled Evermore, you haven't gotten the complete story.
In Viehl's world, Robin of Locksley is a Darkyn Vampire. Living for hundreds of years, his business is still the same- rob from the rich and give to the poor. His arch enemy- Guy of Gisborne- is also a Darkyn Vampire and he hasn't given up on hunting the notorious Robinhood.

7th and final Darkyn Novel, but don't fret it's not really the end
I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the Stay the Night. I liked Robin, we met the infamous charming thief of Robin Hood fame two books ago in Evermore: A Novel of the Darkyn (Signet Eclipse). Robin's love interest Chris is the perfect torture for him, a woman who is totally immune to his Kyn power of charm. As an FBI agent out to catch the Magician, as Robin the thief is known to the art world, Chris is also the nemesis More...

I was very much looking forward to reading Robin's story in Stay the Night. I was also sad to hear that this was the last book in the series and I was curious as to how it would all end.
Robin of Locksley has been stealing from the rich for the last 700 years. With the help of his Darkyn powers, he can charm just about anyone into handing over anything. The FBI dubbed him The Magician for his most recent larcenous exploits involving the theft of priceless works of art.

Robin of Locksley has gained notoriety throughout the centuries as a skillful art thief and powerful Darkyn vampire lord. For the past seven hundred years, it seems the authorities have not been able to apprehend Robin. Another quality Robin has going for him, besides being an art thief is the ability to steal women’s hearts with just one look. You could call Robin a bit of a Casanova.

Lynn Viehl’s unique world of vampires will pull you into an intriguing story with the Darkyn’s medieval lifestyle and legendary characters that tie in with historical figures of fact and fantasy. Robin and Chris’s passion and loyalties pull the reader into a fantastic journey of love and danger that will keep you turning the pages anxiously intrigued with a plot that runs in many directions, but conclude to one dangerous outcome. All her characters play a major part in the plot and Ms Viehl da

I liked this book a lot, but was slightly disappointed with the ending. The author has said that this is the last book in the Darkyn series, yet there were several loose ends that weren't resolved. Overall this is a great series. The characters are believable and engaging, and the writing is excellent.
I was also lucky enough to have won my copy of this book in a contest on the author's website. And it's autographed!! Woo Hoo!!

I like Robin and Chris together but felt a lot of their story was detracted from because of all the loose ends the author was trying to tie up in this story. I also kind of hated the fact she let Alex find the "cure" to being Darkyn. I don't know why I hated it but I did like it somehow make the Brethren was even more justified in their horrible methods of breeding their own Darkyn - because it was something curable so those who chose to remain Darkyn were evil? Nope. Hated that plot p

The latest in Viehl’s Darkyn series. This is the story of international art thief...Robin Hood. And the FBI agent who wants to arrest him. See, besides an outlaw, Rob was a Templar, and got turned into a Kyn “vampire” with the rest of them. (No wonder people kept reporting seeing Robin in Sherwood...) There’s this priceless manuscript, and hundred-year-old (or older) feuds, and vampire politics, and lots and lots of stuff going on. It felt a little choppy, to be honest, but that could be partly

Disappointing ending to an otherwise good series
I enjoyed the continuation of Michael & Alexandra's story, as well as the plotlines around the new Kyn creations of the Brethren. I would have liked more interaction between them--so much focus was on her research and work as a doctor.
I was disappointed with Chris, the FBI agent that Robin falls for. She was so bit*chy and self centered, I didn't like her and didn't buy into Robin falling in love with her. He's such a good More...

This book is the final installment in the 'Darkyn' series by Lynn Viehl. To be honest, it was one of the ones I enjoyed the least.
This book revisits some of the characters and themes last seen in 'Evermore'. Robin Hood, a Darkyn lord, finally comes to terms with his past and his feud with Nottingham and falls in love with a mortal FBI agent (Chris).
In general I found this book to be pretty unbelievable. I just didn't buy the whole Robin/Chris love affair. Like some of the worst Sherrilyn Ken More...

Looks like I'm finished with the Darkyn series :( That's so sad!
Everything wrapped up nicely - AND it left it wide open for Lynn Viehl's newest series (Kyndred) which is where this book leads off -
Alex figured it out - everything from what the Bretheren were doing with the abused Darkyn's - to finding the cure to bring them back to human -
Robin of Locksley - this book was about him and his "true love" Chris - For some reason, Robin was a LOT more More...

i really loved this whole series. this was a great book. a lot of different stuff going on so you really have to pay attention. i did feel that the author rushed robin and Chris's relationship, wish their was better closer for them. i feel the author was being rushed to finish the series...which in all honesty i don't think the series was at all finished, way to many loose ends left, there probably could have been 3 more books made. and what really happens to John, he kinda goes off into the

The seventh and final book in the Darkyn series by Lynn Viehl centers around Robin Hood -- as a vampire.
Robin of Locksley is introduced earlier in the series, but it's not until "Stay the Night" does he truly come to the foreground as a major character with his own story. When I was reading the Darkyn series, I was most excited about "Stay the Night", especially after reading "Evermore", the fifth book in the series.

The Setting — in this one also jumps around a lot. One moment you’re in Atlanta, the next Rome or Venice or Chicago or London ~ you get the point. Current day, not too much out of the ordinary, really.
The Characters — *sigh* are probably my love obsession with the books. Stay the Night features *drum roll please* Robin Hood ~ as a vampire. Yup! How awesome is that? I liked how Robin evolved from just our lovable thief to a dark character with lots of appeal. I especially like More...

It seems that Lynn Viehl is trying to take the route of J.R. Ward and turn what was a good paranormal romance series into a mediocre urban fantasy.
Mediocre. That's what Stay the Night had written all over it. This was to be Robin and Chris's novel but just like Lover Enshrined(which was everybody's book but Phury's) this is everybody's book but theirs.

Robin of Locksley is one of the Darkyn kind and has been stealing from the rich for centuries. His Darkyn powers will help him with these cases, but it also leads the FBI on his tail, especially when they think he is involved with the disappearing of priceless art work.

Stay the Night is #7 in a series entitled Darkyn. What I really liked about this book is that, #7 or not, you don't have to read the prior novels to enjoy it. Admittedly, there are times something would have been a bit better with more background but this was a great book and now I'm going to have to go visit half.com to get the other 6! The characters in the book run true to historic form in many ways and it was interesting to see how they were coping with the 21st Century.

Lynn Viehl kept me entertained with this entire series and I was feeling a bit sad about reading this final book. Because while I read the books in this series pretty much back to back and it was nice knowing I another book waiting for me while it lasted. There was a little bit of everything in this last novel with pace moving at a fast clip with all the intrigue and thrills leading up to the end. For me, Stay the Night brought a somewhat feeling of closure with mixed feelings on the ending but

Robin of Locksley, immortal thief, meets [strike:]Clarise[/strike:] Chris, a plucky FBI agent set to bust him. Of course they fall in love. Plenty of action and good sex, a bit of mystery, a few spots of confusion (I've not read the whole series, so I'm out of the loop on a few plot threads). An interesting end to the published series, though Viehl indicates she'll write some shorter tales.

I am actually not sure how I feel about this book. It seems like the couple, Robin of Locksley and FBI agent Chris, were more of a side story to Alexandra and her quest to cure the Kyn. The ending had me perplexed and it seemed strange to end without a scene with Michael and Alexandra. Evermore remains my favorite in the series and so I loved the parts with Jayr in this book.

I did really like it, but I was a little disappointed. I was sure this was going to be my favorite, but it let me down. I did not like the ending. It was very uneventful and boring. Still, however, I did enjoy some of the surprises and twists. Things were still left hanging, so I am wondering if the Kyndred books are sequels. Guess I'll do some research.

This is the last book in the Darkyn series but there is another series after this that takes off from it. That was a nice surprise. I've really enjoyed this series and Robin's book was no exception. There were some loose ends tied up, some good twists and a revelation.

Although I think of the Darkyn series as vampire romance, these books offer much more than the usual vampire-meets-human happily ever after. The author created a fascinating vampire world with lots of original ideas and a complex background. Where other series start to repeat themselves over and over again, the author manages to still surprise the reader with new twists and turns, adding more and more detail to the fascinating world of the Darkyn, their history and origins and enemies.

The first half of this book was awkward and stilted, probably because it was an exact retelling of Master of Shadows from Robin's and Chris' POV. The author was limited to using the same dialogue as in Master of Shadows, and she wasn't able to make the action around the dialogue seamless.
Once the book passed the events of Master of Shadows, it became much better, and the ending was excellent. I can't wait to see more of Luisa and John. I also really enjoyed the one M/M scene in More...
