Book Reviews of Seize the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 7)Book Review: Dark-Hunters are back, and as tantalising as ever! Summary: 5 Stars
Valerius. In life, a Roman general, part of a hated breed and member of a family despised and feared. In immortality, a Dark-Hunter hated by the rest of his kind. His family murdered Julian and Kyrian, first betraying Kyrian sickeningly. His father brutalised and murdered Zarek, Valerius's own brother. Valerius himself is cold, imperious and disapproving of others. Is it any wonder he's hated?
Tabitha, a human vampire-hunter, has more reasons than most to loathe Valerius on sight. After all, her twin sister Amanda is married to Kyrian of Thrace. And, indeed, two seconds after meeting Valerius she stabs him through the heart. But he is a Dark-Hunter and, regardless of her personal feelings, that makes him an ally, even if one she'd rather not have. So she takes him home to bandage him up and see him back on his feet... his very attractive feet. For, even as she knows she should cut him dead, she thinks he's the sexiest, most attractive man she's ever met. Even as they argue, even as he shows her how much he disapproves of her, the two of them realise that they find each other irresistible.
But it's not as simple as that. How can it be? There's Tabitha's family to think about, plus over two thousand years of conditioning on Valerius's part, training him never to care about anyone, never to get involved. After all, nobody has ever cared about him, so why risk rejection? Plus, any time he did try to help someone - Zarek, his family's slave Agrippina, others - he ended up hurting them. Sometimes killing them. He can't possibly take that risk with Tabitha, even if she does seem to be the only person he's ever known who actually *likes* him.
But they don't have a choice about getting involved with each other. For Daimons are on the march, more dangerous than ever. One in particular wants revenge on Tabitha and her sister and is determined to kill them all. Acheron is worried and instructs Valerius to protect Tabitha, while he himself protects Kyrian, Amanda and their daughter - after all, Kyrian is mortal now. However, some evils appear to be too great for even Ash to handle... or are they?
Yet another tortured hero in this book, which I adore. What's even better, though, is that we get to find out more about Ash. In particular, we learn what I'd been guessing at: he's no simple Dark-Hunter, even if he was once a mortal. I won't spoil the exact nature of that revelation; read it for yourself. There's also a fascinating development regarding Nick the Squire, which again you'll have to read for yourself. In all, a gripping, exciting and very satisfying Dark-Hunter novel, and Kenyon is still keeping me hooked on the series. Can't wait for Acheron's own story, coming when, Kenyon??

Summary of Seize the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 7)Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter-he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian-Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons-one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.
