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 appears—this fearless, beautiful . . . human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

But with danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves, or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.

“Wildly romantic as well as action packed. If Frost keeps this up, fans will need to build more keeper shelves!

I like Mencheres a whole lot better than Bones

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017

I gave up on the earlier Night Huntress novels because I felt that they had too much violence and ruthless vengeance, particularly on the part of Bones. Mencheres certainly has a dark side, but I much prefer his ability to be self-reflective in a way that Bones doesn't seem capable of showing. Also, I enjoyed the relationship between Mencheres and Kira. It was real and honest, as well as sizzling and sweet.

One example of why I feel the way I do about Bones is his reaction to the murder accusations against Mencheres. He jumps to a conclusion that his normally calm grand-sire has flipped out because of his love for Kira. He only reluctantly gives Mencheres the benefit of the doubt and fears that Mencheres actions endangers their whole vampire line. I found this reaction particularly hypocritical, given that his hyper level of protectiveness toward Cat sometimes had him acting in a similar manner.

For those who enjoy vampire based books but would like to try one a little more low key, I would highly recommend The Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill. Ethan and Merit are two of my favorite characters. While there is some violence in that series as well, often times Ethan and Merit can diffuse a situation with words or a hard stare. To use a quote from my favorite Sci/Fi series, Babylon 5: "If you can strike terror into the heart of your enemies, you may not have to fight them."

Exceeded my Expectations

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2015

I am still working my way through Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress and Night Huntress World series of books. This series is one of my favorites. I like paranormal, and I like romance. I’ve been taking my time with this series because I don’t want it to end.

In this novel set in the Night Huntress World, we finally learn more about Mencheres, a mega-Master vampire thousands of years old who is the leader of the family to which Jeaniene Frost’s Cat and Bones’ characters belong. Mencheres has been in most if not all of the books in the series thus far, but he was a peripheral character and not entirely likeable for the choices and decisions he made in past installments. He has done a lot to wreak havoc in Cat’s life.

He rules over a vast empire of vampires, and his power level is so great that he can kill without even touching his opponents. One of his gifts has been his ability to see visions of the future. When his visions stop, he is convinced that the darkness he sees indicates that his existence will soon end. He is overwhelmed with guilt over past deeds, and he decides that he has ruled long enough. Although he physically resembles a man in his mid-20’s, his thousands of years of existence weigh heavily on him and he is ready to die. He plans his own death.

He doesn’t expect to be rescued by a human female who comes across him giving up in a battle that he could easily have won. Kira Graceling is a private investigator on her way home when she hears the sounds of someone in pain. Kira is dealt a fatal blow by Mencheres’ attackers, and he must give up his wish to die to in turn save her life. Once she has seen that he is not human, he cannot just let her go as he finds that he is unable to erase her memories.

I really liked this book, and I like how Frost is writing about characters other than Cat and Bones. She incorporates her two main characters in to these Night Huntress World books and they become peripheral characters while the other characters get a chance to shine. I liked that fairly early on in the book we learn that Kira is in love with Mencheres and not long afterward, he confesses that he loves her, too. I’ve never been a fan of romance-type stories where the confessions of love happen at the very end. I also like that Kira’s love never wavered. She stayed steadfast and true, no matter what happened. She was a strong character. In this book the two main characters nicely complement each other and work together against the evil that they face.

Not sure why...

Not sure why but this book took me many attempts to finish...
I guess I just wasn't in the right mind set the 1st time I tried to read this,I really enjoyed it once I got it to it,skimmed a bit in places because I hate it when villains capture someone and get in their face w/all their evil BS but otherwise I had a good time,just was crazy how it ended... No spoilers per say,just wish it had ended w/Mer and Kira in each other's arms getting married or something not just Mer sending the villain on his way...
It's not like ii don't know they stay together after reading up to current on the "Night Prince" series but my romantic heart just would have preferred them together not apart...
Though one question , here I could swear ( not up to date on Cat and Bones atm ) Kira is described as having auburn hair, yet when ever she's mentioned in the "Night Prince" series , Lelia describes her as having blonde hair not anything dark,huh...
Any way I enjoyed myself,soo glad I was finally in the right place from r Mer and Kira's story ;)

A painfully inessential spin-off that adds nothing to the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Eternal Kiss... is an almost offensively mediocre book. Everything from the predictable story beats, the paint-by-numbers romance, and the barely sketched conflicts never quite reaching even the most basic degrees of engagement. Even the Bones and Cat cameo (which is usually something I find endearing, even if I don't like the property or series) was insufferable. I could write essentially the same thing for the last spin-off book I've read of this author (First Drop of Crimson). I think these books veer much closer to Paranormal Romance than I'd like. Honestly, even her main series seems to be in a constant struggle between that genre and Urban Fantasy.
But hey, there's a sex scene on the ceiling and underwater, so ... there's that.

Sizzling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2015

Scorching! It's generally quite difficult for me to pick a favourite male character from Jeaniene Frost's books. I love Bones' calm insouciance followed by flashes of white hot rage, and always the simmering sensuality. Vlad is - the impaling addiction notwithstanding - simply a very dangerous and very hot - figuratively and literally - piece of work. He's just the right side of vicious, where he remains attractive despite the danger. Because the only people he tortures deserve it - well, most of the time.

And here we have Mencheres. Oooo - the quiet ones are the worst, it's true what your mother tells you. Mencheres - calm, unflappable, stoic, completely in control - but underneath that.... oh my!

Frost has a magnificent way of blending hormones with plot, because as sizzling as this is, there is still a story there, and you don't have to dig to find it. The plot drives the romance, not the other way around, making for an all-round story that just drags you from one page to the next.

More! Definitely more Ian, but in any event - more!

I have read the first four books in the Cat and Bones series and have continued with Jeaniene Frost's reading order and am pleased I have. This is the 2nd book in this Night Huntress World series and I must admit that I wasn't looking forward to reading about Mencheres. I never felt much love towards him as a character but this book has totally changed that. I often struggle with spin off stories but to be honest I feel that Mencheres story, as with that of Spades in "First Drop of Crimson", has given me further insight into Ms Frosts Night Huntress World. Her story telling is so enjoyable, her world building is totally engaging and her books are so easy to read. Check out her website and make sure you read her books in order. Best enjoyed that way. Totally recommend.

Delving a little deeper into Frost's world.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2012

This is the second spin-off in Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress World series. I always find it really helpful to have a reading order when I start a series, so just in case you've bought this book on it's own, whilst it can be read as a standalone, it's much more satisfying if read in order. The series including the Night Huntress books is:

HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
AT GRAVE'S END
DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE
FIRST DROP OF CRIMSON
ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS
THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE
ONE GRAVE AT A TIME

This book is about Mencheres, a 4000 year old Master Vampire who we have previously seen as the Grandsire of Bones in the Night Huntress series. He's had a bit of a supporting role in the previous books and to be honest has come across a bit ruthless and severe in those books so I was a bit surprised that JF was dedicating a whole book to him. I'm so pleased that she proved my doubts wrong though, I really enjoyed learning more about him as a character.

In typical JF style, there is a lovely, gutsy heroine; this time it's Kira who is a private investigator and stumbles across Mencheres being attacked by a group of ghouls (although she, being human, doesn't know that the paranormal world exists). She steps in to save Mencheres and the story starts....

I would class this as a bit more of a paranormal romance than the usual urban fantasy tag that I give JF's Cat & Bones series, but that shouldn't really take anything away from the story. It's about Mencheres losing his interest in life after he feels that he's no longer useful to his people - he's pretty damn old, and has lost his way a bit. Enter Kira, who is a feisty, sweet woman and starts to help Mencheres find his lust for life again (literally!). I found some of it a bit unbelievable, but I know you should suspend belief when reading paranormal! What JF does best is plot and characters, and it was good to see the family of characters that we have come to know and love (or hate) in her books, whilst being able to learn about new ones.

There's humour, compassion, a good dose of suspense and a fair dollop of sex in this book. Just the thing needed for a nice bit of escapism.

I'm really looking forward to reading Vlad's stories and I'm also hoping we have an Ian book in the future.

Have continued with the authors suggested order. I wasn't overly excited by this as Mencheres wasn't a favourite character. However, liked him much more after this and Kira is a good addition. As usual my favourite Vlad is a hero. Thought that this was better than Spades book.
