Publisher's summary

The first installment of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series, Night Pleasures.

The Dark-Hunters are ancient warriors who have sworn to protect mankind and the fate of the world is in their hands. . .

He is solitude. He is darkness. He is the ruler of the night. Yet Kyrian of Thrace has just woken up handcuffed to his worst nightmare: An accountant. Worse, she's being hunted by one of the most lethal vampires out there. And if Amanda Devereaux goes down, then he does too. But it's not just their lives that are hanging in the balance. Kyrian and Amanda are all that stands between humanity and oblivion. Let's hope they win.

Love in vein: listen to another Dark-Hunter novel.

Couldn't finish it

Would you consider the audio edition of Night Pleasures to be better than the print version?

Not even a little. Night Pleasures is one of my favorites in the DH series...and I couldn't finish the audio version of it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hmm. In this one Kyrian is my favorite, but only because Nick isn't in it as much as I'd like.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Carrington MacDuffie?

Unfortunately, just about anyone else. The accents were too jarring (too sacharine southern for Amanda and Tabitha, I couldn't figure out Kyrian's, and Talon's was just...no.) If I had my greatest wish fulfilled? It would be this one, and Night Embrace to be re-recorded by Holter Graham.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nope. I couldn't even finish it in several sittings.

This is actually book 2 in the series!

I am starting to understand the rave reviews for the dark hunter series. "Fantasy Lover" was book one in the series and I gave that book 5 stars but even though this book was great it did not live up to the first books perfection. There seems to be a formula for Kenyon's books, Greek Gods and women, fall in love and happily ever after. I'm hoping for more diversity and depth with the next in the series. I've already read all of "chronicles of nick" series and was glad to see Nick introduced in this book. The narrator did an ok job but could be better.
I will be moving on to the next book in the series.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

A naughty book with an addictive storyline.

Had a hard time breaking away from the book when I needed to. She is a great storyteller.

WE DO NOT SOUND LIKE THAT!

I absolutely love the story but despise the person reading its portrayal of Southern Louisianans. Also Gautier= Go-shay.

Dark Hunter Series 1

Excellent "listen." The narrator is quite good - adds a lot to the book. I'm disappointed that audible doesn't have all of the books available to buy - guess I'll have to go to another vendor when my list is not available on audible.

Could've been better

Night Pleasures is difficult to get into the beginning. Hard to put down in the end.

The bigger you are the harder you fall!

Kyrian of Thrace has met his match. As a Dark-Hunter, he is immortal and has fought the enemies of humans for thousands of years. He believes he will never be anything but what he is, however he has not met Amanda. An accountant. Really? An accountant?

However the attraction between them grows to a raging fire and for the first time in his immortal life, he wonders is he can trust her--love her. If he can trade his immortality for love.

Artemis, a selfish and vengeful goddess who creates the Dark-Hunters, despises the fact that any of her creations may wish to give up their life as a Hunter to pursue a future that includes life and light.

What can convince her to let him go? True love?
