Week 32 Reviews: Dead After Dark, One Silent Night


One Silent Night (Dark-Hunter, #15)
From Goodreads:
Shadow of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Angelia has fought her entire life to make herself strong. Now, with her patria under fire, she has to protect her people from Fury and his werewolf clan. Vowing to bring him to justice, Angelia sets out alone… until the hunter becomes the hunted, and the only way for her to survive is to trust the very wolf she's sworn to kill.

The Story of Son by J.R. Ward
Claire Stroughton is a beautiful lawyer who would rather spend the night with a legal brief than the man of her dreams. Then a routine client meeting turns dangerous—and deeply sensual—when she is held captive by a gorgeous man with an unworldly hunger…

Beyond the Night by Susan Squires
When Drew Carlowe returns home to win back a lost love, he is quick to dismiss rumors that his estate is haunted by a stunning young ghost…until one passionate encounter leaves him mystified—and aching for more.

Midnight Kiss Goodbye by Dianna Love
Trey McCree possesses an insatiable desire for Sasha Armand—and supernatural powers that could endanger her life as a human. But when they team up to stop an evil warlord, Trey discovers that Sasha can do way more than drive men wild…

While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all out onslaught against his enemies—which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. Enter his ex-wife. Zephyra. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he’s now embroiled in a centuries old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain.

My Review:
I just loved rereading the both of these! I just enjoyed very single story, because they were just so freaking good! Having Fury's book, getting in the Belador world for the first story, and then The Story of a Son, well, I wouldn't mind a series there!

Of the short stories, I remember all of them but Beyond the Night, and that's just because while it was a really good short story, it didn't capture my imagination as the other 3. Which is too bad, it was really good, but I liked the others more!

The One Silent Night, of Stryker's story, yeah, there was a lot going on there, and while he's a villain, it's not his fault that the bad things are happening this time, which was really great! And that he worked with Acheron to face the bad guy!

And a pretty big development happened-they figured out how to circumvent the dying in the sun, which is really good for them, but not so good for the Dark-Hunters. If it made it so they wouldn't have to feed ever, ever, ever again, and the source didn't run out-seeing as it's another species, but one that we don't like, the bad guys from Devil May Cry-then it would be perfect, the Dark-Hunters wouldn't have to hunt them anymore!

Such great books, I enjoyed reading all of them, and now to keep rereading the Dark Hunter world books!

  1. These are probably two of my not so favorite books;
    Kenyon likes writing about forgiveness and about seeing thins from different POV's (there are always two side to a story).
    I like Fury , he's funny. But some of the scenes with Angelia were awkward for me. Plus I hate Stryker and didn't wanna know his story; he's the bad guy.

  2. Oh, that's too bad, I liked Fury, and I felt bad for Angelia, and the dinner with Bride and her family that she created, that was funny!

    And since this book, as far as I can remember, he hasn't really done any bad things, so I think he's getting better, he definitely deserves his grudge against his dad, and after Styxx, he gets to put it to use!
