Seize The Night (Dark-Hunter, #6) (The Dark-Hunter World)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

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 Tabitha is also the sister-in-law of Kyrian, a former Dark-Hunter and 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.

I thought Val was a complete sweetheart 3
And I love Thabita.
This book was sadder than usually, and even though I knew what was going to happen with Nick it was hard to read. Also, realizing it was indirectly Ash's fault killed me. I love Ash...

Another good solid addition to the series. I was interested to see how one could make Valerius likable (or lovable, even), and I was certainly satisfied. The ending was somewhat anti-climatic but Sherriyln Kenyon sure knows how to create a romance with all the emotional pull and tug.

A lot of stuff happens in the book. A lot. I am really really curious to see where this series goes.

The beginning of this book was really slow, and a bit goofy, and I didn't like it much at first. It really picked up, and gave a lot of explanations for the other books, and likely for future books as well! Great read :)

I really do like these Dark Hunter books. They’re quick and steamy and don’t really require a lot of extra thought. Tabitha is one of the more interesting heroines in Kenyon’s world, a woman who does more sticking up for herself than some of the women in this series. I did think that this one addressed an interesting issue… What is life like for a Dark Hunter who has been given back his soul? How do they deal with no longer being immortal and having to worry about things like disease, bills, and bad knees? Though it is brief, I thought it was one of the better parts of the whole book. Unfortunately, Kenyon decides to sweep it all under the rug with a little manufactured magic that rends all parties involved immortal again (or for the first time, for the humans involved). I think I would have liked to see that theme continued in some of the later books rather than the quick happily ever after.
