Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter #4)
That would be my life.
It started out simple enough. One night I went to save a woman in trouble. The next thing I knew, the doorway to hell had opened and out stepped Daimons- soul-sucking vampires the likes of which I’d never seen before. Led by the son of Apollo, they are out to end the curse that has banished them all to darkness. The only problem with that is they have to kill Cassandra Peters to do it and if she dies, so dies the sun, the earth and all who dwell here. Life’s just a bowl full of cherries, ain’t it?
Brought together by fate, it’s now my job to protect a daughter of the very race I have been hunting for centuries. Neither of us dares to trust the other. But if we don’t find a way to overcome our differences and to bridge thousands of years of animosity, we won’t die alone. We’ll take the entire world with us.

Love, love, love this story! This one is my favorite in the series so far! I'm so happy right now!!
Reviewed for THC ReviewsSherrilyn 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 credibility,
After reading Zarek's book, I was almost sure nothing could be better than that book. And sadly, I was right. I was excited, since I thought the 'can't remember Wulf after five minutes' plot was interesting, but instead I found myself waiting (and wanting) for this book to end. I find it hard to follow the mythology of the series sometimes, since it has too many characters, but I can overlook that (because it could only be me), but this book was particularly hard to follow and kind of pointless
I would explain the plot, but this is one of those stories that don't make sense unless you've read the first 7 books. Let's see if I can simplify things: Two people who are natural enemies fall in love. They are both tragically doomed in different ways. The female is doomed to die on her 27th birthday, and the male is doomed to live a lonely life since no one can remember him five minutes after talking to/seeing him.THE GOOD: - The plot. I was riveted by the choices people had to make. What
The Prologue tells the legend of Atlantis, of the race of Apollites, and a mistake Apollo had made a long time ago through which now the world is threatened by its very end.Sherrilyn Kenyon has built a logical, deliberate, consequent, and complex world.Kiss of the Night is a peculiar book of the series: the prime tragedy is set in the present not in the past. Although Wulfs background story is sad, what truly broke my heart was the hopeless, desperate situation of Wulf and Cassandra,

Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter #4)
What do you get when you have an immortal Viking warrior no one can remember five minutes after he leaves their presence, and a demon on the run for her life who is being pursued by one seriously pissed-off demigod?That would be my life.
It started out simple enough. One night I went to save a woman in trouble. The next thing I knew, the doorway to hell had opened and out stepped Daimons- soul-sucking vampires the likes of which I’d never seen before. Led by the son of Apollo, they are out to end the curse that has banished them all to darkness. The only problem with that is they have to kill Cassandra Peters to do it and if she dies, so dies the sun, the earth and all who dwell here. Life’s just a bowl full of cherries, ain’t it?

Kickass heroine, I approved. Not much of combat scenes much to my disappointment. Things happened quite sudden between H/h and luckily I chose to ignore that and simply enjoying the story instead. The only horror I experienced with the book is I was worried the author might kill the heroine because she sure gave impression of happily-NEVER-after for the duo. Anyway, she didn't YAY. I'm glad because I don't think I could have it again after J.R.Ward-main-character-killing-episode in BDB. Lastly,Love, love, love this story! This one is my favorite in the series so far! I'm so happy right now!!
