    About this audiobook

    In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honor that even immortal bad boys must follow:

    Harm no human. Drink no blood. Never fall in love.

    But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway me. I am relentless and unfeeling.

    Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die.

    Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead. But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever loved?

      Loved it! Simply a great read. This one is about Dangerous a female Night Hunter. I loved the character Dangerous and how she handled herself while trying to deal with her attraction to the judge. She knows some of her friend (night hunters) may be killed by him but she still feels in her heart that they will all come around and see what is really going on. She herself doesn't expect to be attracted to the judge but when she finally figures out she is, she gives it her all. The ending was great and unexpected. I loved the whole book.

      I'm not sure what I thought of "Sins of the Night." I liked it - it was easy to read, I read it quickly, I enjoyed the experience.

      I suspect that this was not a good place to start with the Dark Hunters series.

      I feel a little disappointed because I was expecting something a little darker. I figured - the undead, leather, paranormal, 9,000 year old destroyer - it would have to get pretty dire and kinky, right? But it doesn't really. Alexion and Danger have trust issues. And healthy, peaceful sex. Alexion whines a bit about how much it hurts to go without sex for two hundred years. Danger is a little embarassed to lie around naked in the bed without a cover. But they really love eachother. I have read prim and proper Regencies darker than this.

      The plot is a little slow, too. Can Alexion convince the other Dark Hunters not to turn against Acheron before it's too late? Finding out involves a little bit of demon-dodging and a lot of reflection on Alexion's marriage. The adventure quotient is kind of low.

      Hmm. I guess what I'm saying here is - yes, it's a fine book. And if you like tame plots all wrapped up in vampiric bells and whistles, Kenyon appears to be the authoress for you. But I think I'm looking for something a bit different.
    • 4/5
      Dark Hunter novel about Wulf Tryggvason – who no one can remember – and Cassandra Peters a half-Appolite nearing her 27th birthday and sure death. Gives a good look at what it means to be an Appolite.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy the Dark-Hunter books not only because they have some hot and steamy romance, but because I think that Kenyon’s created a really interesting mythology here. I learned a lot more about Apollites and Daimons in this book, and I think I’m finally starting to understand the big picture a little more. Plus, you know, there’s the hot and steamy stuff.

      Wulf's Story. Wulf causes amnesia in everyone who sees him. One woman can see him but she is one of the race Wulf is supposed to hunt.
    • 3/5
      As long as I read this series with long gaps between each book I find myself more willing to enjoy them. Wulf and Cassandra's story is a little different too though the standard formula still applies. I do have to give Kenyon some props for weaving the series so deftly though, there are several instances where the threads from other books in the series, where the events seem to be happening concurrently, intersect this one.
    • 3/5
      Although I anticipated Wulf's story since reading about him in Night Pleasures, I was a tad disappointed. There was so much potential for his story, but for some reason, I felt, that what was written just didn't hit the mark. Oh I loved the characters and worlds around them, (the underground Apollite community rocked!), but I just didn't feel like Kenyon put enough into his character like he so richly deserved (remember it's all about the characters!).I did like the heroine, Cassandra, and although Kenyon repeated the angst Cassandra felt over her imminent death- over and over and over again, I did tear up a bit. Especially when I read the letter Wulf wrote to his future child. Anyway, good read despite the let down.
    • 5/5
      I know these books aren't exactly great literature, but I really like them. I like the universe Kenyon has created and the characters she has peopled it with. This one was no exception. There has been much speculation about Alexion's identity and it was easy to see which option of many discussed among fans was going to be right within the first couple of chapters. It didn't matter. The story was about his life (or lack thereof) and not a mystery about exactly who he was. I felt Kenyon pulled it off beautifully. Alexion is a wonderful character and I hope we see more of him, although given his limitations it may mean it is in the background rather than in the main action. Which in its own way is a bit of a pity, as that may mean we see less of Xirena as well, and she's a great new character. Ash's life is never going to be the same. I was mildly disappointed in Danger's characterisation, as I felt I never got right inside who she was. I know a lot about her, but it felt like it was at something of a distance. This was a shorter book than some of the others and it was always set up to be about Alexion and his salvation, which I think pushed her into a background a bit. Yes, this was a love story, but it was, as I just said, even more about Alexion and his salvation and that made her somewhere between a major and secondary character instead of equally primary with Alexion. Kenyon also too the time to make official many of the hints she has given us about Acheron. If you read all the novels and the hints, you could guess at most of it previously, but now we know for certain. Of course, more mysteries were introduced and many things weren't answered, but it is nice to know that the mystery that is Acheron has advanced instead of staying permanent and annoyingly in the same place. As always, Kenyon has introduced new characters that leave the readers wanting even more books from her. Two a year isn't nearly enough. I've now added Savitar and Kyros to characters I think need a novel of their own. Well, maybe one day.
    • 3/5
      Sins of the Night definitely had the potential to be a really good book, but in my opinion, it simply didn't live up to the promise. I've had a kind of up and down relationship with the Dark-Hunter series, but for the most part, either the main love story catches my attention, or if not, there is usually some significant advancement to the overall series story arc which keeps me on the edge of my seat. In this case, I couldn't help feeling that Sins of the Night was something of a throw-away book, because in my opinion, it didn't really do much of either. Alexion and Danger were both likable enough characters, but I still had a hard time mustering up much enthusiasm for them or their relationship. I think this may have been due to a lack of character development as I didn't feel like I got to know them very well at all. Readers are told the general backstory of their lives and the events which led to where they are currently, but it felt like little more than a narrative that was nearly as "soulless" as the protagonists. When I realized Alexion's true identity and that I had met and liked him in a previous novella, I was rather excited, but my enthusiasm died pretty quickly when I realized that this new beginning for him seemed to hold little meaning. I did feel rather badly for Alexion living without the benefit of human touch for several millennia, only interacting with them every few centuries when there was a Dark-Hunter uprising, and for his cruel betrayal in the past. I also felt for Danger having been sold out by her husband in her human life. However, my feelings just didn't go as deep as I thought they could have if the story had been written differently. I also just couldn't seem to bring myself to buy into them falling in love so quickly. For the most part their attraction seemed to be purely physical, only there to make the love scenes “fit in” later on, and lacked true sexual tension. When the author occasionally tried to put a bit more emotion into a scene, it helped a little, but I still didn't feel an intense love connection between them like I have with some of the other couples in the series. I also couldn't understand how two characters who had been so horribly betrayed in their former lives could come to love and trust each other so quickly and easily. It just didn't make sense to me.Shockingly, there weren't a lot of secondary characters in this book, and those who were present primarily inhabited the periphery. Normally, I don't like the plethora of supporting players that Ms. Kenyon always seems to fast and furiously throw at the reader, but in this case the lack of them seemed to be a detriment to the main characters. They didn't really have anyone else to play off of besides each other which led to too much dialog and sadly had them resorting to talking to themselves as well. The characters who did put in an appearance from previous stories were Acheron, the Dark-Hunter leader, and his demon companion, Simi, who are in nearly every story; Stryker, the evil god who has an axe to grind with the Dark-Hunters and who I'm still having a hard time figuring how he'll ever be redeemed for his own book (One Silent Night); and Kyros and Ias who were two of the original Dark-Hunters. Those readers like myself who are religiously following the series in order will recognize that they were first introduced in the short story, The Beginning. There were two new characters introduced who I suspect may have an impact on future stories, Savitar, a god who is something of a mentor to Ash, and Xirena, a Charonte demon with ties to Simi.Overall, Sins of the Night just didn't hold my attention very well, and I found my mind wandering frequently. Especially during the first two-thirds or so of the book, there is a whole lot of talking but not much action. During these periods of interminably long discourses, there weren't enough details of facial expressions or gestures to draw me into Alexion and Danger's exchanges and some of the dialog was, in my opinion, rather juvenile. I felt the narrative in general was too simplistic with the plot being too convoluted. The majority of the book was written in “be” verbs which means lots of telling and not nearly enough showing, a mistake I might expect from a novice, but not a seasoned writer like Ms. Kenyon. I found a number of continuity errors, or at the very least, things that were confusing and could have been better explained. As has been the case with some of the author's previous books, there are several things which occur a bit too conveniently, and in this case, I felt like it was glaringly obvious that she was sloppily trying to make certain plot points work rather than putting more thought into them. If nothing else, I can usually count on Sherrilyn Kenyon for some scorching and emotional love scenes, but even those were lackluster for me. First, I just couldn't seem to invest myself in two people who were hopping into bed together after only 24 hours, when Danger had been resistant to the idea right from the start and then suddenly changed her mind with little explanation. Secondly, the scenes were lacking in details and over almost before they got started. Unfortunately, it felt like Ms. Kenyon rushed through the writing of this book and consequently, in my opinion, it was definitely not one of her better efforts in the Dark-Hunter series. That is regrettable, because after finding out Alexion's identity, I felt like he deserved a much better story. I'm giving Sins of the Night three stars because I liked Alexion and Danger even if I did feel they were underdeveloped, and I also still felt that with the couple of new tidbits being added, it was a worthwhile read for fans of the series. It just simply won't be a memorable one for me. Sins of the Night is book #7 in the Dark-Hunter series. There are currently a total of 19 full-length novels in the series and quite a number of related novellas and graphic novels as well, with more still to come. A complete list of all the books and their recommended reading order can be found on Sherrilyn Kenyon's website.

      What a good book! The more I read of this series, the more i love it!
    • 5/5
      Another compelling and entertaining book in Dark-Hunter series! It had me hooked from the very start.

      The romance in this story is not as good as the previous one. Although I felt no chemistry between Alexion and Danger, it wasn’t important because the author kept me busy concentrating mostly on the Dark-Hunters and the Daimons instead. Moreover, the story was so intense and exciting that it pulled me into this story completely.

      After reading the sixth books in this series, Acheron has never stopped to amaze me with his generosity and all the things he had done for humans and Dark-Hunters. The more I’ve known about him, the more I want to read his book!

      I know this is not a good review and I'm so sorry for that. But I have to be quick because I need to jump right into the next one now!
    • 4/5
      So far, this is my favourite one of the series (I'm still going through them!). Not because I prefer Alexion over the other characters - because I don't, my favourite characters are Vane, Zarek and Talon - but because I believe this one is the most well written of the series up to this point.
    • 3/5
      I’m still not sure exactly what I feel about this book as a whole. The first half of the book was terrible, but the second half was fantastic. I really liked Wulf a lot at first, but quickly found myself disliking him. As soon as he found out Cassandra is an Apollite he goes from treating her like a person (in his dreams) to treating her like she’s something he accidentally stepped in. He keeps this attitude toward her even after a very big announcement (he does treat her slightly better, but only because she has something he wants badly).I was pissed that she was just taking it. Being strong is one thing, but letting someone treat you like dirt is quite another. I didn’t like Cassandra so much after that, and Wulf had already lost my vote by then. Where the hell does a romance go from there?Well, it goes nowhere. Fortunately, Kenyon pulled the story out of its nosedive when we get into the Apollite culture. It’s very hard to look at them (and even Daimons) the same way again. A very nice touch.My other gripe is the pattern Kenyon had developed. Every hero from the last books had to be rounded up and paraded through at an opportune time. The character list is getting longer than a Greek tragedy, and it’s time to let some people stay home or even move on.Alright, one more thing. One thing can save both their lives and their reactions are essentially “Ew”. Seriously, it’s not even anything, no big deal at all, especially when you’re considering what’s on the line. Not the best in the DH series.

      I had to give this book 5 stars because I actually cried 3 different times in the reading of the book. Books do not often draw me in enough where I actually cry but this one truly does. I thought the ending was a little rushed and I was sad at the outcome for one couple. The humor was spot on especially after all the boys from the first 4 books in this series got together. It was a bit confusing in the beginning until you find out the book is running in tandem with the two behind it.

      Kiss of the Night
      4 Stars

      Synopsis:
      Wulf Tryggvasen is a Dark Hunter cursed with inducing amnesia in others. No one remembers him for more than five minutes, which means he will never find true love or regain his soul. Luckily, Wulf finally meets Cassandra Peters, the one woman who can remember him. Unfortunately, she belongs to the cursed race he is sworn to destroy. Can Wulf and Cassie overcome ancient curses, prophecies and meddling Gods to find true happiness?

      Review:
      An entertaining addition to the series. It should be noted that in terms of the timeline, this installment takes place in parallel to the events in Night Embrace and Dance with the Devil. Consequently, the other Dark Hunters are engaged elsewhere for most of the book and Cassie and Wulf are left to their own devices.

      The world building continues with more intricate details about the Apollites and the Daimons as well as additional tantalizing hints regarding Acheron’s true nature and identity. Intriguing questions are also raised concerning some of the new characters such as Cassandra’s bodyguard, Kat.

      The one problem is the overabundance of new characters and groups, which can be overwhelming and distracting because it is difficult to keep track of everyone.

      Nevertheless, the story is engaging and the main characters are well-developed. Cassie and Wulf have great chemistry and their relationship is more emotional than in the earlier books. Of course, I am a sucker for the forbidden loves/opposites attract plot device. The dream sequences were a little weird but mesh well with the overall story.

      Cassandra is a wonderful heroine. The way in which she copes with her eminent death demonstrates and incredible strength of will. Wulf is also an appealing character. It was interesting to see him come to terms with Cassie’s heritage and realize that the Apollites are people suffering under a terrible curse. His banter with Chris contributes to some of the funniest moments in the book.

      The villain is one of the most dangerous and threatening in the series so far. He has some vicious tendencies and it will be interesting to see what happens with him in future books.

      In sum, the Dark Hunters is a well-written series with one of the most fascinating mythologies in the genre of paranormal romance. I look forward to continuing on to the next books.
    • 5/5
      Wulf has been cursed that any human who meets him will not remember him 5 minutes after leaving his presence. He meets Cassandra when he helps save her from daimons. He feels a spark, but doesn't think to pursue her because of the curse. He later finds out that she isn't completely human and in fact is partially a member of the race that is his sworn enemy. And he is now supposed to protect her, because her death could mean the end of the world. I like the direction that this book took. It didn't focus so much around the dark-hunters, but more around learning more about their enemies (the daimons). Wulf and Cassandra have a wonderfully complex relationship and it was a pleasure to watch in bloom over the course of the book.
    • 4/5
      Another great book in the Dark-Hunter series! The love story was nicely done, and both Cassandra and Wulf were great characters. My only minor complaint is that some of the dialogue was awkward and stilted, the modern references were unnecessary (Britney Spears, etc. I always hate that in a book, it makes it feel so dated), and the book had a few editing problems (for example, in Elysia, one of the Apollites was called a Daimon). Other than that, the book was terrific. I especially liked how Sherrilyn Kenyon made Apollites and Daimons more, for lack of a better word, human. I really can't believe how many more books Ms. Kenyon can write, and how many directions she can go into, with the world she has created - it could go on forever - or at least we can hope so! :)
    • 4/5
      This is the fifth installment in the Dark-Hunter series. It is neither the worst nor the best. It follows the story of Wulf, a Dark-Hunter sworn to protect the human world from soul-sucking Daimons. Wulf has a curse upon him, that no human not of his bloodline can remember him. This fact apparently makes him feel quite lonely. Then he meets Cassandra, and discovers that she can remember him. Their attraction to one another is complicated by the fact that their species are natural enemies, and that forces beyond their control have been working to push them together against their will.This book was very enjoyable at some parts, boring at others. Just when I thought I was ready to give up on it, something would grab my attention and make me laugh or cry. I can't say either main character was all that remarkable. Cassandra was honestly quite two-dimensional. Wulf was a bit more developed but unfortunately still predictable. Overall, I think if you're a fan of the Dark-Hunter series you'll enjoy this book.
    • 1/5
      This is another book that I've not actually finished reading. I love Kenyon but I think this is my least favorite of hers so far. I've been reading this one since the beginning of December and can't seem to get through it. I like Alexion and Danger but I don't like the story. I feel this book is more about Acheron than it is about the H/H. And while I like learning more about the mysterious Acheron I would like this one to focus more on the real story of this book. Anyways, I may finish this one and I may not. Maybe I'll just skip to the end and be done with it.
    • 4/5
      I love Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series, but after the emotional whirlwind that was Dance with the Devil, this entry was a bit of a let down. Wulf just did not capture me the way previous Dark-Hunters have, despite his predicament (no one remembers him once he leaves the room). Still, this book had a lot going fo it, especially in the expanded world-building. Daemons come about when Apollites refuse to die as they are cursed to do on their 27th birthdays. They start eating human souls to stay alive, and Dark-Hunters must stop them. When Wulf falls for Cassandra, an Apollite who is also destined to die, it creates a moral dilemma and a more tragic obstacle to the romance. But, this IS romance, so they will get their HEA thanks to some clever plot twists from the author.Overall, though this didn't suck me in like the books before, it was still a worthwhile read and a solid entry to the series.
    • 3/5
      For me, too many things didn't add up! The attraction between Wulf and Cassandra didn't make sense; The odd erotic dream or two does not lead to that kind of emotional attachment in such a short space of time. Overall, this is a nice easy read and provides some background information about the Apollites and Dark Hunters.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. I found it to be quite different and it was nice to see a different perspective. I am not enjoying the cross of the different series, though, because it feels like I'm missing big chunks of stuff here and there because of not realizing there are books that should be read in between from the other series.It's not stopping me from enjoying the books though.
    • 1/5
      I tried really, really hard but I just couldn't like this one. In great part, its because I simply couldn't connect with the main protagonists. Right from the start until the end, I couldn't like Wulf and Cassandra. I don't dislike them either. I just couldn't understand why they fell for each other and whether they got together or not didn't seem to matter. Their story just feels like an excuse to put two people on different sides of the fence together. To illustrate, I found myself skipping huge chunks of the interactions between them just to get the story to move on.One of the parts I thought could be explored further was Wulf's introduction to the Apollite and Daimon world. How will his new knowledge impact the Dark-Hunters ? It seems unfair to continue seeing all of them as the enemy in the light of the different types of Daimons out there. Not all Daimons prey on the innocent. Yet, too much hesitation could endanger the Dark-Hunters and the humans. And will the Greek gods who by their irresponsible actions caused this dichotomy ever have their just punishment ? It will be interesting to see where this leads.The only bright spark is getting to see old favorites from previous books and meeting some interesting new ones. Acheron is as mysterious as ever. Simi and Zarek's appearance though extremely short, had me laughing at their behaviour. And now we have Chris, Kat and Urian. Chris's plight as the overprotected only child is funny and sweet. In fact, for the first half of the book most of the laughs came from his interactions with others. As for Kat, who is she and why is it the omnipotent Acheron can't sense her ? Also what is Urian now after his resurrection? Will this former Daimon really kill his own father for vengeance in the future ?Read this only for continuity's sake in the Dark-Hunter world. Else, you might want to skip this one.
