Wendy (Vhalkyrie) read and liked Shannon's review of Born of Night (The League, #1):

"I loved this book. There are a few nitpicky things here and there that could have been improved on, but there was so many things that I loved that I can look past the bad.

This book is basically The Black Dagger Brotherhood in space. If yo...more I loved this book. There are a few nitpicky things here and there that could have been improved on, but there was so many things that I loved that I can look past the bad.

This book is basically The Black Dagger Brotherhood in space. If you're a fan of the BDB, Zsadist in particular, then you'll probably love this as well.

Basically, the story centers around Nykyrian and Kiara, who couldn't be more different. Nykyrian is a highly skilled assassin who was tortured and abused during most of his adolescence and Kiara is a Princess and professional dancer. Kiara's life is in danger because of her father and Nykyrian and his men are hired to protect her. Lots of things don't go as planned as Nykyrian and Kiara grow closer together.

Nykyrian does have a friend too, Syn, and their relationship also reminds me of the BDB. The banter between them is funny and Syn is really likable. I'm curious to read Born of Fire now since that's Syn's book.

One thing that got on my nerves is how Nykyrian and Kiara would get together and then something would pull them apart. Also, Kiara would claim to understand things and then she'd do something stupid. But ultimately, I think she matured a lot and grew up in the end.(less) "
