Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World #2)

An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness . . . And now one woman has stumbled into the shadows. 

Chicago private investigator Kira Graceling should have just kept on walking. But her sense of duty refused to let her ignore the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse just before dawn. Suddenly she finds herself in a world she's only imagined in her worst nightmares.

At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appears, this fearless, beautiful . . . human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

But with danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves, or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.

Hello!! Whew! Been a while huh? Generally I update this good ol' book blog of mine more frequently, but like I mentioned in my previous post, my parents came into town from Washington State for a week visit and it was so much fun, I barely gave a listen to my book while they were here! They left several days ago, and I'm now just getting into a comfy groove of listening to my book throughout the day while my girls are in school. I've FINALLY finished this book- Eternal Kiss of Night the second book in Frost's Night Huntress World series. Felt like this book was rather long and drawn out, but I think it's because I was preoccupied most of the time with family and just overall busy with other things. So, aside from this book feeling a little long winded, it was kinda cool, but then kinda a little dull as well. I had high hopes for Mencheres... I don't know why, just did. With him being as old as he is, I'd think he would just kinda react and act a little differently. I am not sure what it is that makes me think this, and maybe it was Tavia Gilbert's way that she read his "voice", it just kind of made me think he were an ol' stick in the mud or something. I did really like Kira though! Well, I liked them both, but with everything I was doing at the time while listening to this book, I really don't think I can give a very fair review. I will just leave it with "good book". How's that? LOL! Yeah, not good enough! :P The two's chemistry was really nice though, I liked it. But it lacked a lot of 'meat on the bones' content for me. I dunno! I'm failing at this review miserably! hahah! I'm going to start the third book very shortly and can't wait! It's Vlad's book, and even though he made a short appearance in this book, it wasn't enough! I can't wait to hear his story! :) See you all soon!

I gave this book: ★★★★ = Liked it!

First Drop of Crimson (Night Huntress World #1)

by Jeaniene Frost (Goodreads Author)

 4.15  ·  rating details  ·  16,336 ratings  ·  1,171 reviews

The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows - her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield - and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family's dark past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness - and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who craves a taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human - even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the demon nightmare together...

Because once the first drop of crimson falls, they will both be lost.

Hello again readers! I currently have my parents visiting from out of town (Washington State) and so I've not been able to listen to my audiobooks as often as I might like, but I did manage to finish the first book in Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress World series- First Drop of Crimson. You don't know how good it was to get back into Frost's little Night Huntress "World"! Granted, this wasn't about Cat and Bones, which is okay, they made brief appearances and I got to hear Bone's quirky, crazy British accent that Tavia Gilbert NAILS! LOL! This book was about some of the other minor series in the Night Huntress; Bone's best friend Spade and Cat's best friend Denise. I have to say, I really love Spade after this book. He's kinda a douche in the other books, but this one really focused in on the why's and how's of his mind and his emotions and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Denise's story was pretty cool too! This story line coincided with, I think book 4 or 5 in the regular Night Huntress series, which they hinted at, and it was really nice to see what was going on WHILE Cat and Bones were off doing their own things, it's like a different point of view along the same timeline- which is so fun!! I have since started the second book in the Night Huntress World series but I've been really preoccupied with doing custom blogs for client's and my folks visiting from out of town as well as my kiddo's first week of school, so when things settle down a bit more, I will be updating more frequently and simply can not wait until the book after this one I'm on right now, which is Vlad's story! I thought about skipping ahead to it, but will be patient and wait! I'm just so excited for it!!! I know I will love it because I love the lore of Vlad aka Dracula (lol! he hates being called that in the books!) and love his personality and really loved the relationship between Cat and Vlad, so it will be awesome, I think! Anyway, I am cutting this short, so sorry! This was a really good start to a whole "world" series and I know I will love the rest of the books as I loved this one! :)

I think I'm going to give this book ★★★★.5 stars!
