my current favorite in the series

Why did I read this? And am I glad I did?

I hated Valerius when I first met him, but we got glimpses at who he might really be in a few of the previous books. I had no idea I end up loving him as much as I did. Most assume he had a life of ease as royalty, but as a child his kindness towards others got him beaten. He puts up a wall of arrogance to keep people out… too bad it doesn’t work on Tabbitha. She cracked me up! Her gift of empathy made her the perfect person to see how sensitive Valerius really was under his cold exterior.

This one was high action and high emotion. While previous books may have had some touching moments, this one succeed in making me cry. But don’t think it was all mopey because you’ll also laugh and need a cold shower

Favorite Quotes

Love isn’t easy. Anyone who says differently is lying to you. But it is worth fighting for.

- Amanda (from Night Pleasures). I really liked that we saw more of her and Kyrian’s relationship and that they still had issues like a real couple.

Brief Summary

Hail Glorious Reader:

I was born the noble son of a legendary Roman senator. I walked through the ancient world as a general, admired and supreme until a brutal betrayal caused me to bargain my soul. Now I’m an immortal Dark-Hunter, bound to protect mankind from the evil scourge that haunts it. Over the centuries, I’ve seen many frightening things: plagues, pestilence, disco music…

And now Tabitha Devereaux. A human, she has trained herself to fight vampires every bit as capably as any Dark-Hunter. Idiosyncratic and off-beat, she is my personal bane-and yet she beguiles me. There are only two small problems. She happens to be the twin of my mortal enemy’s wife. More than that, Tabitha and her sister are being stalked by a power that will not rest until everyone she holds dear is dead.

Unlike my Dark-Hunter brethren, I rely on no one but myself. They spurned me and I turned my back on them. But the only way to save Tabitha and her family is to find some way to bridge a two thousand-year-old feud.

They say opposites attract, but can they stay together when even the Fates conspire to keep them apart? Then again, the Fates have never dealt with the likes of Tabitha Devereaux before. They’re going to be in for quite a fight…

–Valerius Magnus
