Reviews

[Linda]

Good story with demons, half and full-blooded, as well as fallen angels. Some names made it too easy to figure out what kind of creature their character was, though

I love Jeaniene Frost because she's able to create such strong female leads in each of the books she writes. Whether they are a full length story or a novella, she managed to capture their strength of character as well as their need to ensure that good always wins at the end of the day.

With NIGHT'S DARK EMBRACE, Mara is no different. She's determined to avenge the death of the cousin, Gloria, at the hands of a Pureblood (pureblooded demon). To do that, she's willing to go into the realm of Nocturna and try to find the Pureblood that will be forever etched in her memory. But there is also another man that's etched into her memory and that's the Nocturna kingdom ruler, Rafael. She's not sure what to make of Rafael, is he friend or foe, but she knows she's attracted to him. Her only hope is her gut feelings when it comes to Rafael are true while she finally brings her cousin's killer to justice.

I loved Mara. Like Cat or Lena, she wants good to prevail and will do what she needs to in order to ensure that happening. She's willing to drug the man that she's hopelessly attracted to in order to try and undercover just which side he was on.

My only wish for this one was that it was longer. I did want some more development in the romance between Mara and Rafael. I know you can only do so much in a novel, but I did want more.

A fun, quick read if you're going through Jeaniene Frost withdrawals.

Completely different from anything we've read from Frost before. There are no vampires, but demons (Partials and Purebloods) and Fallen (as in angels). Really interesting world. I enjoyed it.
