Product Description
Wulf is an ancient Viking warrior with a useful but extremely aggravating power-amnesia. No one who meets him in person can remember him 5 minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love he can never regain his soul. When he finally meets Cassandra, the one woman who can remember him, she turns out to be the princess of the cursed race he’s sworn to hunt-and forbidden to him. The two of them must face ancient curses, prophecies, and the direct meddling of the Greek gods to find true happiness at last.

I pick this one up as soon as it was available. I enjoyed the story and liked the prologue that added to the history of Sherrilyn’s world. I didn’t like the over lapped of the last two books. I will continue to read the dark-hunter series because I enjoy the character interactions.

The first two books were great. The rest are severly over hyped. Each book seems like its only purpose is to set you up to buy the next one. You expect super bad heroes but they are all crying babies. The heroines are awful too. Please stop the train and try something else.

I just couldn’t get into this story. Great imagery, I love the vikings, vampires too are pretty sexy when viewed from a romantic light. For some reason, I found myself skipping to the “good stuff”. There was so much fighting, and brawling, I wondered if it really was a romance novel. Maybe I’m crazy. I picked it up from the library because of the cover and felt embarassed actually. Kinda feel like laughing now that I’ve “read” it.
I reccomend some better reading if you’re into some more sex imagery that comes with a romance novel, AND tough sexy vikings. . . Believe In Me by Josie Litton. Dream Of Me wasn’t bad either. But better than Kiss of the Night.

Every girl should have a Dark-Hunter of her own.

The hero and the heroine make love in their dreams. Then he finds out that she’s a member of a race that he is sworn to destroy (sort of — if she ever starts killing people — a distinction that he doesn’t really make in his self-pitying musings). He immediately accuses her of manipulating him and rejects her. She claims that she still sees tenderness in him, but I don’t! For the longest time, he is focused on his problems (granted, they are large problems), and ignores her issues, including the fact that she’s going to die in 8 months.
Suddenly, he decides he loves her and feels really bad that she’s going to die. He says that he’s going to prevent it — but you don’t see him doing much about it. She is finally saved (somewhat deus ex machina) — mostly by Acheron. Granted the hero must overcome prejudices of his own, but it’s over very quickly.
It’s never that clear why he loves HER as opposed to any woman who wouldn’t forget him. (In fact, he repeatedly thinks — “oh, I should have started sleeping with a woman like her a long time ago. Oh, no, it must be her specifically.” His delivery just isn’t that believable.)
The development of the mythology of this alternate universe is interesting, but somewhat confused and drawn-out. (Granted, that may be intentional to hide Acheron’s true identity — which we have a good idea about at this point.)
Though this is an interesting series, this entry did not reach the heights of past books — perhaps because it was more ambitious in terms of the development of the mythology and had farther to fall.
