Books - Sherrilyn Kenyon

Ok .. so I haven't read this series yet. But just ordered it .. read a short story was intrigued. Then went to check the website. With a tag line like this .. who could resist?

Quote:

We are Darkness. We are Shadow.
We are the Rulers of the Night.

We, alone, stand between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. We are the Guardians.

The Soulless Keepers.

Our souls were cast out so that we would not forewarn the Daimons we pursue. By the time they see us coming, it's too late.

The Daimons and Apollites know us. They fear us. We are death to those who prey upon the humans.

Neither Human, nor Apollite, we exist beyond the realm of the Living, beyond the realm of the Dead.

I am the Dark-Hunter.

And I am Eternal -- unless I find that one pure heart who will never betray me. The one whose faith and courage can return my soul to me and bring me back into the light.

Should I choose wrongly, something far worse than death awaits. For once I cross over, there is no way back.

It's a good series. What short story did you read?

jjt · 04-28-2005, 10:04 PM

It was in a complilation book ... Midnight pleasures, I believe.

Midnight Pleasures... Hmmm... I think I've read two of her short stories and that's what got me interested in her. I still haven't read two or three of her books but her latest ones are awesome.

I have read only one of her books but it already impressed me and I figured there were more fans of her work here.

So let's all get together and celebrate this unique author!

Wow that was cheesy...you know what I mean start with the lovin'.

Heh.

Oh and Zarek is MINE! Cause I love him...

**onionroach** · 08-05-2005, 04:09 PM

I thought there used to be a Sherrilyn Kenyon thread around here somewhere.

Oh well. I love Zarek as well. I love that book actually. I also really, really enjoyed Night Play and Seize the Night. I didn't think her latest book, Sins of the Night was as good as those.

Soz · 08-05-2005, 07:23 PM

I merged the two threads.

I haven't read any of the Dark Hunters books yet, but I've picked up a few, so I'll get to them eventually.

**onionroach** · 08-06-2005, 04:34 AM

Ah...I thought so.

I haven't read any of the Night... ones except Night Play. I'm not really interested in reading those. Hmm..

I just read one of her books the other day, and I loved it! It was Night Embrace, the story about Talon. I don't think it's the first one in the series or anything, but it was in my local library and I had heard about it, so I checked it out.

Can someone tell me what the first book in the series is, and how many books she's written for this so far?

Night Embrace is the first one I read about as well.

Here's the list taken from here.

1. Fantasy Lover
2. The Beginning (found on the site)
3. Dragonswan (in the anthology Tapestry)
4. Night Pleasures
5. Night Embrace
6. Phantom Lover (in the anthology Midnight Pleasures)
7. Dance with the Devil
8. A Dark-Hunter Christmas (found on the site and in the back of Dance with the Devil)
9. Kiss of the Night
10. Night Play
11. Winter Born (in the anthology Stroke of Midnight)
12. Seize the Night
13. Sins of the Night
14. Unleash the Night (coming soon)

I read Dragonswan and Phantom Lover first and then I picked up Kiss of the Night which is so-so and then read Dance with the Devil which is very good and then the last four books.

I just got through reading Night Play, and I thought it was really good. Very funny, but then again I'm biased since I love Vane.

He's not actually a Dark-Hunter, but a Were-Hunter, but I actually liked this book better than Night Embrace.

I'm gonna read Kiss of the Night next. My library only has the book about Vane, Talon, Kyrian, and Wulf, so I guess I'll just have to buy the other ones. I really want to find the one about Zarek, which I think is Dance with the Devil.

Dark Half Undine · 08-10-2005, 12:36 PM

I ordered Dance with the Devil and Night Play which are the two ones I really want to read about because I love Vane and Zarek...as you can tell.

Hmmm Zarek.

**onionroach** · 08-10-2005, 03:49 PM

Dance with the Devil, Night Play, and Seize the Night are my favorites so far.

**Miranda Leigh** · 08-12-2005, 09:34 AM

I've read every single one of her DH books. She's my favorite. I can't wait to get the Dragonswan book.

And if you look at my siggy line, you'll know Ash is my favorite.
