4 ½-5 stars – Vampire/Paranormal Romance
I’m a huge Night Huntress series fan, especially when it comes to my main luv Bones, and I loved yummy Spade’s story First Drop of Crimson. But I’ll admit that in the previous books, although I found Mencheres intriguing for sure, I didn’t really envision him as a leading romantic hero, mainly because I always pictured him in a sort of androgynous way.

Honestly the only reason I read this immediately following its lackluster (IMO) predecessor “First Drop of Crimson” was because it was the only unread audiobook left on my Ipod. Me riding home with only my thoughts for company is never a good thing.
Kira is a private investigator who hears a scuffle and walks in on a man on the brink of being slain by . . . ghouls. Not hoodlums dressed as ghouls but genuine, flesh-eating ghouls. Now if this were me I’d shriek like a girl and beat it but...more

Okay, so this book surprised me and I didn't see it coming.
Firstly because ever since I heard that Mencheres was getting a book, I was never overly interested in his story. I mean, I liked his character, sure, but a whole book about him? Meh. And then I read the first Night Huntress World novel, (Spade's story) and was more than a little put off. Very generic pnr, the hero was boring and unoriginal, whilst the heroine was truly bang-your-head-against-the-wall annoying.

Kira, a private investigator, ends up being unexpectedly thrown into Mencheres world. She's feisty, stubborn, intelligent, and loyal. It was odd to read about Mencheres because for some reason I always pictured him as being older. Not the young, vibrant man in the story.
Mencheres has an ancient enemy who feels that he is entitled to Mencheres' powers. He's been waiting for millinnia to find a way to force the transfer of power. Now, Mencheres is showing emotions, and getting close to a female f...more

I went to school in Michigan.

Before this book, I was not the biggest Mencheres fan--I could really take him or leave him, but after reading Eternal Kiss Of Darkness...oh wow, I really grew to love this dreamy, gentleman vampire! And the things we learn about him? Just amazing...
The book starts out with Mencheres's certainty that his time is growing short--he sees nothing but darkness in his future, with darkness equaling "death". He's not getting any more of his "visions" of the future, he can't deal with the guilt he feels...more

Yaşını başını almış Mencheres`i 20'lik delikanlı gibi düşünmek zordu benim için:) Sevmediğim tek şey Kira oldu.Be kadın öldün vampir oldun bu kadar mı kolay kabullenir insan:) Bunun dışında iyiydi.

Jeaniene Frost is a great writer and like most authors some books are just better than others. She's wowed me a couple of times in her Night Huntress series and now she's gone ahead and done it again with Eternal Kiss of Darkness. This was my first audio book experience and it was so good that I'm already listening to another one. I'm not entirely sure if my rating would be the same had I simply read this novel as is my usual habit. I'd like to think so but Tavia Gilbert'...more

I admit, I was on the fence about reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness. Not that I didn’t enjoy First Drop of Crimson, but when an author gives you such memorable characters such as Bones and Cat, it becomes a bit hard to live up to that standard. EKOD starts off with Mencheres who is Bones’s mentor/Godfather/Grandfather in the vampire realm.

Questa volta i riflettori sono tutti puntati su Mencheres: antico (cit. "più del cucco!") e potente signore vampiro egizio, co-reggente insieme a Bones.
Nei libri precedenti, avevamo iniziato a conoscere Mencheres scoprendo il suo lato manipolatore e forse, anche per questo non a tutti era risultato molto simpatico come personaggio.

I loved the chemistry between Mencheres and Kira. Seeing Mencheres completely in love with Kira and at a lost of what to say, it's extremely adorable. Love Kira's personality, a very strong woman with a clear head, not the strong-but-stubborn kind =p
LOVED IT!
LOVED IT!
***4 1/2***
I really enjoyed this vampire romance, it kept my attention and was fun to read. For once, I really liked and admired the heroine. Kira was couragous, smart and actully thought things through before she acted. I like the way she understood Mencheres and stood up for him. I think Frost focused more on Kira's point of view in the story, sometimes I wanted more of Mencheres's thoughts and I wanted more of his background story.

I liked Mencheres and this was a nice chance to get to know him better. Most things were pretty predictable and Mencheres wasn't a surprise since I had already made up my mind about who he was to me, but I really liked Kira. She had a bite and she wasn't a pushover. They were good together and even though this wasn't my favorite book by this author it was a good and easy read.

Goodreads Summary
An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness . . . And now one woman has stumbled into the shadows.
Chicago private investigator Kira Graceling should have just kept on walking. But her sense of duty refused to let her ignore the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse just before dawn. Suddenly she finds herself in a world she's only imagined in her worst nightmares.
At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appear

I can honestly say that Mencheres tops the cake as far as the most deadliest vampire. I loved his character, he had so much maturity and poise. Kira was a perfect match up for him bcz she had the same genuine and protective heart as him. They both carried a sense of responsibility and leadership and they make such a good team together. My favorite scene in this book was when Mencheres plunged deep into the ocean with Kira to hide for two hours. It was so unique because it was right after they ha...more

Mencheres is one of my favorite vamps in this series and he found a worthy mate. And, best of all, there was no- "I love him, but I shouldnt, but I luuuuve him" going on. Frost hit a high note with Eternal Kiss of Darkness as far as I'm concerned!

Though not my favorite book in the series, I enjoyed Eternal Kiss of Darkness just as much the second time around. After re-reading the series and seeing Mencheres differently this book wasn't as powerful for me as it was the first time. That being said, it was still really good and a great addition to the Night Huntress World. Jeaniene is great at character development and I'm thrilled that Mencheres got his own book.

Usually when I'm reading a work of fiction, I am somewhat aware of the author's hand, the elements of plot, setting, and characterization, the themes involved.
Frost's story was so powerful it drew me in and kept me there, and I finished with a feeling that I loved the book but without the intellectual awareness of why I did.
It makes me want to immediately go back to page one and begin again. Yes, I can now reflect on the themes and plot, can rejoice in the author's skill, and appreciate what an...more

Un altro romanzo spin-off ambientato nel sottomondo di non-morti e creature fantastiche che ruotano intorno alla Cacciatrice della Notte. Personalmente, ritengo che, in questi libri dedicati a personaggi secondari della serie, la Frost abbia dato davvero il meglio di sé.

I actually read this book which is book 2 - prior to book 1. I don't think it makes any difference since book 2 has to do with Mencheres and Kira and book 1 is tied to Spade and Denise. However, I do think it is important to have read the Night Huntress series with Cat and Bones prior to reading the Night Huntress World books. It would help tremendously. Mencheres is a super old Master Vampire of Egyptian decent who believes his time on Earth is coming to its conclusion and he has accepted his u...more

Hai capito Mencheres! Zitto zitto, con il suo fare algido e controllato ha nascosto per benino un potenziale esplosivo. Ma che dico! Nucleare! Ha fatto il furbetto e ha aspettato la sua storia per scatenarsi.

Second in the Night Huntress World, a spin-off from Night Huntress (fifth I guess I'd have to slot it in as though it were a novella as the initial Night Huntress series is continuing and the .5 helps it fit chronologically). The focus is on Mencheres and Kira.
My Take
Fascinating backstory on Mencheres and Radjedef with a different perspective on the pharaohs.

This, like its predecessor in the Night Huntress World series, is a pretty great listening experience. I remain a pretty firm fan of Gilbert's voice, as she really gets into the characters. So much so that it can sometimes be a little bit of a letdown to go from one of her works to another series where the narrator simply narrates rather than try to make each character and scene unique. Some will like this, some won't.

I think it's safe to say that I'm addicted to these books. Lord knows what I'm going to do when I run out of Night Huntress books to read. I can be listening to perfectly good audiobooks and I just keep thinking that there's still Night Huntress books that I haven't listened to yet. But to this book in particular, it was great. I loved seeing another side of the emotionless and stoic Mencheres that we'd seen so far in the other books. In this book, Mencheres falls hard and fast for Kira and we g...more

Unlike Jeaniene's Cat and Bones series of novels, ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS focuses on Mencheres, an ancient vampire, grandsire of Bones and 'nephew' to the power hungry Rajedef. Centuries old and fearing the 'darkness' that is slowly devouring his visions, Mencheres seeks to end his life before his 'power' becomes his enemy.
