Reviewed for THC Reviews
Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series has been rather hit and miss with me, and although I can't say that Kiss of the Night was the best book I've read in the series so far, it was pretty good overall. That's not to say that I didn't do quite a bit of eye-rolling during the first half of the story, because there were certainly some things that provoked my incredulity even for a fantasy world. There are things that happened which I felt stretched the bounds of credib More...

As with all the Dark-Hunter novels I've read so far, I really enjoyed this one. Sherrilyn Kenyon has a great writing style and she just knows what us PNR fans love! However, I didn't like this one as much as the first 3 in the series. The main thing was I just didn't really feel like we got to know Wulf all the much. With the others, we got a good feel of their past, and while we got to know some of Wulf's past, I felt like we could've known more.

But that's not to say I didn't like the More...

Another great book in the Dark-Hunter series! The love story was nicely done, and both Cassandra and Wulf were great characters. My only minor complaint is that some of the dialogue was awkward and stilted, the modern references were unnecessary (Britney Spears, etc. I always hate that in a book, it makes it feel so dated), and the book had a few editing problems (for example, in Elysia, one of the Apollites was called a Daimon). Other than that, the book was terrific. I especially liked how She More...

Ironically enough, while I'm a huge fan of S.K.'s DH series, when I had first read Kiss of the Night my freshman year, it was for a long time one of my least favorite DH novels. However, having now read it for a third time several years later, I have actually rethought my original impression. Having read the entire series at least twice at this point, I have gained a better understanding of why Sherrilyn felt the need to take a different direction with Kiss of the Night.

After the big high of Reading Zarek's book Dance With The Devil I was sure I had turned a corner with this series. Up to Zarek's book, I've not been overly impressed with the writing or the romance elements, but have really enjoyed the Dark Hunter mythos, the background with the Gods and the ongoing mystery of just what the heck is Archeron.

So I was ready to curl up and enjoy this one. Instead up until the very end, I was totally bored. What I enjoyed the most about the previous More...

Laura rated it:

This is Book 5 of the "Dark-Hunter" series. It tells the story of Wulf, an ancient Viking and Dark-Hunter, who is assigned by Ash to protect an Apollite princess, Cassandra. It seems Cassie is the last of her royal bloodline and must breed before she turns 27 or the world will end. Of course the nasty god Stryker is involved to make things difficult. Lots going on in this novel, and I don't want to post any spoilers.

I can say I love how each novel in this series gives More...

Ally rated it:

Dark-Hunter: an immortal warrior who has traded his soul to Artemis for one moment of vengeance on his enemies. In return, they swear to spend eternity protecting mankind from the daimons and vampires that prey on them. Dark-Hunter Wulf is an ancient Viking warrior with a useful but extremely aggravating power - amnesia. No one who meets him in person can remember him five minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love More...

Zeek rated it:

Although I anticipated Wulf's story since reading about him in Night Pleasures, I was a tad disappointed. There was so much potential for his story, but for some reason, I felt what was written just didn't hit the mark. Oh I loved the characters and worlds around them, (the underground Apollite community rocked!), but I just didn't feel like Kenyon put enough into his character like he so richly deserved (remember it's all about the characters!).

I did like the heroine, Cassandra, and More...

This is one of my favorites of all of the Dark-Hunter books I have read so far. It had a good mixture of interesting new characters, interesting new mythology and details about characters from other books.

I was really confused at first, though, because near the beginning of the book is a conversation between the main character (Wulf) and Talon - which I had already read before! It took me a minute to realize that I was reading it from the *other* perspective this time. Then I realized More...

Desta recente vaga de romances paranormais, sem dúvida nenhuma que Sherrilyn Kenyon é a minha autora preferida... aliás, das outras, se não estou em erro, só consegui ler Stephenie Meyer (e, desta, os últimos volumes da saga já a custo).

Apesar de gostar muito dos livros de Sherrilyn Kenyon e destes serem sempre uma lufada de ar fresco nas minhas leituras, no início este volume da saga dos Predadores da Noite ficou um pouco aquém daquilo que esperava. Verdade que tinha adorado o Zarek, More...

Fangs for the Fantasy rated it:

Wulf is cursed. Despite being an ancient Viking of massive size and incredible fighting prowess, anyone who sees him forgets him within 5 minutes. He can never have a friend and he is a stranger to everyone – even if he sees them every day. The only people exempt from this curse are his fellow Dark Hunters, who he can’t be around, his blood family – of which there’s only one left, his enemies – and one woman. Cassandra.

Except Cassandra is an Apollite. Doomed to die on her 27th birthday More...

Wulf Tryggvason is an ancient dark-hunter with one major set back: everyone forgets him after five minutes - except for his squire, who is a family member and therefore the only human one earth who can remember him.

Cassandra Peters is a half-human, half-appolite princess who is nearing her twenty-seventh birthday. She has a bodyguard who follows her every move and protects her from potential threats of daimons. Though this doesn't ease the fear of slowly decaying in a few short mon More...

This book definitely tugs on my heartstrings because it answers several questions I've had burning in the back of my mind the longer I dived into the series. For example, why was it okay for the Dark Hunters to become immortal even though they've all killed their fair share of souls during their lifetime? Why do they get to punish and judge Daimons who are only trying to survive beyond their tragically limited lifespan?

Sherrilyn Kenyon doesn't disappoint. I've come to realize I can't More...

While I know that some of Kenyon's other books are better written, I can't help but love this book! The sex scenes are sizzling & my favorite part- the bit characters are pretty endearing. Yup, I admit it. I read it for the character of Chris Erickson.

The story surrounds the character of Cassandra- someone who is doomed to die at a young age due to being half-Apollite. If that's not bad enough, she has to procreate before her expiration date or the world will end. (Not that she know More...

Things are really starting to get good in this series, and Wulf and Cassandra totally took me by surprise. I loved them. Absolutely adored them. Wulf wasn't as shadowy or complicated as some of the other Dark Hunters, and the way he even became one was kind of a fizzled out story of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, but it was impossible not to love the Viking. The way he turned into an awed young man at the knowledge that someone finally remembered him after meeting. The dreams they s More...

Wulf and Cassandra. This book wasn't really about Wulf and his struggles, per se. It wasn't even more about Cassandra. It was about the Appolites and Daimons that, until this point, have been presented in one way: bad. They are the enemies of the Dark-Hunters. The Apollites become Daimons. The Daimons hunt humans. The Dark-Hunters kill the Daimons. End of story.

Not so much.

As the reader, you finally get to see the other side. You learn more about the types of Daimons and Apol More...

Wulf & Cassandra's story was a nice read. As a Dark-Hunter, Wulf has killed Daimons and Apollites. Apollites are cursed to live to their 27th birthday and die a slow, agonizing death. There's an out clause for the cursed race, become a Daimon by draining a human of his or her soul and extend their life. Cassandra is an Apollite eight months away from her birthday. She is hunted by her own race and Daimons. When Wulf and Cassandra meet they feel a connection. Romance ensues.

This book was not as much fun as the ones before it. Oh, the story of an immortal viking warrior that is cursed to always be forgotten after five minutes is mighty cool. That he falls in love with a woman born to the very people he is sworn to hunt and kill is even more interesting. But I have to admit, Wulf and Cassandra's story was not the really interesting part of the book for me.

What I loved was the look into Appolite society, their reasons to become Daimon and how there can be so More...

This is the most different story and I loved it, full of depth, it's about life and living, death and dying. Although I knew there's a happy ending, Sherrilyn Kenyon put a lot of obstacles between the characters before attaining that happiness. They're like Romeo and Juliet, their love was forbidden because of who and what they were.

Wulf is a different Dark-Hunter than the rest of them and I liked the story behind that. I was a little confused at the first mention of Talon then I rea More...

I can't say this one was my favorite. At first I thought it would be - Wulf was just as funny as the others in the beginning, but the star-crossed lovers thing is getting way old, and this one was seriously lacking in the romance department. I literally found myself skipping pages thinking "I don't care about this..."
Let's analyze the main aspects of this story:

A slight comedown from book #4 simply because I loved Zarek's story so much. I really like how Sherrilyn Kenyon keeps introducing new facets to her world. Every book gives you new info and none of the problems (or the solutions to the problems) are consistently recycled. Wulf Tryggvasen is a Dark-Hunter with an annoying issue - He is cursed so that no human but those of his bloodline remember him 5 minutes after leaving his presence. Cassandra Peters has her own problems to deal with- as the More...

Another installment in the Dark-Hunter series, and even with this book being a nice read, I find myself disappointed and waiting for another book that is so awesome like the first one I read of them: The story of Julian.

I liked Wulf, and it was interesting to see how a Viking became part of the Dark Hunters, also it was very funny when he functioned as a second father for Chris (who was, btw, a nice character, too), and I also liked CAssandra, but this book made the line between " More...

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure how it feel through the cracks with me, I only realised it existed recently but I think it's one of the best books in the Dark-Hunter series. I love that Sherrilyn Kenyon changes the rules every now and then, and creates characters like Wulf and Zarek who get a little surprise along the way. I also really enjoyed learning about the history and lives of the Apollites and Daimons. You really don't realise until you read this book that they are not all bad a More...
