Book Reviews of Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 5)
Book Review: Kickass storytelling! Think Romeo and Juliet with a heavy dose of Armageddon
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dark-Hunters are back! These kickass immortal warriors hunt the Daimons who stalk Mankind. Assembled by the Greek goddess Artemis and led by the baddest warrior of all, Acheron Parthenopaeus, each Dark-Hunter began his path to immortality by swearing his soul to Artemis or bartering it in exchange for an Act of Vengeance. This is true for all Dark-Hunters save one...Wulf Tryggvason.
Wulf never asked to be a Dark-Hunter. After all, life as a marauding Viking had been exciting enough with all the pillaging and plundering. That all changed, however, when his brother Erik was killed in battle far from their homeland. Seeking comfort for his sorrow, Wulf was seduced by a woman named Morginne. Unfortunately, Morginne wasn't just any woman. She was a servant of Artemis and somehow during their night together, Morginne managed to switch her soul with Wulf's before escaping to join the god Loki. Adding insult to injury, Morginne also laid a terrible curse on Wulf. Except for those who share his bloodline, no human can remember Wulf.
So, apart from the fact that he's now forced into eternal servitude to a goddess with permanent PMS, he's watched everyone he loves die through the centuries, and that nobody can ever remember him, life hasn't been too bad for Wulf. His goals are simple enough: get his last living blood relative -- his many times removed grandnephew Chris -- married off and producing more rugrats who can remember Uncle Wulf, and, of course, kill all Daimons. Easy and uncomplicated until the night he finds Cassandra Peters being attacked by a group of Daimons.
Although she is half-human, Cassandra Peters is also an Apollite -- a race cursed by the god Apollo to die on their 27th birthday unless they kill a human and steal their soul, thus becoming a Daimon. Cassandra is fast approaching her 27th birthday. If that isn't bad enough, she also happens to be the very last of Apollo's own descendants and Daimons believe that if Cassandra dies, they will be cured. The truth, however, is far, far worse. For if Cassandra dies, so will the sun. Get the picture?
After rescuing Cassandra from the Daimons, Wulf figures she will soon forget him and decides to steal a kiss. Sure enough, Cassandra does forget until they both begin to share vivid, lifelike dreams where they forge a unique intimacy. When he is ordered to protect Cassandra against Daimon assassins, Wulf is forced to rethink all he's ever known about his sworn enemies.
Just when I think I've got a handle on Sherrilyn Kenyon's fantasy world, she throws a curveball! KISS OF THE NIGHT focuses heavily on the Apollite race, and we witness their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, and nothing will ever be the same again. How could it? Wulf and Cassandra are a great match -- think Romeo and Juliet with a heavy dose of Armageddon. Both Wulf and Cassandra are forced to face and change their preconceptions about the other, all the while knowing their time is slipping away. The twists and turns of their tale will leave readers hooked to the very end.
Thoughtful and provocative, readers will be forced to rethink what is right and what is wrong in the Dark-Hunter universe. Long live the Dark-Hunters!

Summary of Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 5)
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.
