PRAISE FOR SHERRILYN KENYON

"Kenyon is the reigning queen of the vampire novel."--Barbara Vey, Publishers Weekly

“An engaging read.”—Entertainment Weekly on Devil May Cry

“Kenyon’s writing is brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative. These are not your mother’s vampire novels.”—The Boston Globe on Dark Side of the Moon

 

Product Description

In Night Pleasures, Kyrian of Thrace---an immortal who protects humans from vampires---wakes up one morning handcuffed to the one thing that can scare him: a conservative woman in a button-down shirt. But Amanda Devereaux turns out to be his perfect partner for hunting down a deadly foe, and for helping him to regain his soul and learn that love doesn’t have to bite.
 
Night Embrace spins the story of Talon, an ancient Celtic warrior who killed the son of the god Camulus. Camulus cursed Talon, decreeing death for everyone he loved. Now a Dark-Hunter in modern-day New Orleans, Talon meets Sunshine, who is key to ending his curse once and for all. Not to mention helping him to save New Orleans from an ancient god bent on total destruction....
 
Enter a realm like none you’ve ever experienced with Night Pleasures and Night Embrace. Now together in one volume!

4.0 out of 5 stars Night Pleasures/Night Embrace doubles your pleasure, March 26, 2008

By	K Mirus "Kiki" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

A co-worker of mine turned me on to Sherrilyn Kenyon a couple of months ago with the book "Night Pleasures" and that got me hooked on her Dark-Hunter series. So I went out and ordered the Night Pleasures/Night Embrace combo.

If you like hot, powerful, immortals with tortured pasts, strong sexual tension, snappy banter and a happy ending, then you'll dig her stuff. I just like her whole take on this unique realm of supernatural creatures called Dark-Hunters, not quite vampires or Gods, but somewhere in between. She really draws you into their world and does a great job bringing them to ours. Early into it, you wish you could really meet one of these guys.

It's a very erotic series. I've read three of the books in the series so far and loved them, but I have to admit the storylines are a little repetitive. They're still thoroughly enjoyable, though, if you want something fun, sexy and angsty. They're a wonderful escape and well worth your time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sherrilyn Kenyon, January 6, 2008

By	Lisa Prior "suteko" (Nashua, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can honestly say I LOVE this series. I have read and reread this book and all of the companion books. Once I found out that Sherrilyn was also writing under Kinley MacGregor I picked up as many as I coudl afford. This woman is a serious talent and I look forward to each new release with baited breath!

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Pleasures / Night Embrace ( Dark-Hunter Novel), June 27, 2006

By	T. Jackson "Tammy" (Gadsden, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first of the Dark-Hunter novels I read was "Kiss of the Night". I was so enchanted with the story that I HAD to go back to the beginning. Night Pleasures and Night Embrace made me laugh, cry and moan all in one chapter. LOVE this series!!!
