Amanda Devereaux has a crazy family. Her mother and older siblings are witches and psychics, and her twin sister is a vampire hunter. All Amanda wants is a quiet, normal life. Only when she finds herself the target of an attack meant for her twin, she wakes to find herself handcuffed to a sexy, blonde stranger. He is Kyrian of Thrace. And while Amanda's first thought is that this might be another of her sister's attempts at extreme match-making, it soon becomes clear that Kyrian is not boyfriend material. He is a Dark-Hunter: an immortal warrior who has traded his soul for one moment of vengeance upon his enemies. Kyrian spends his eternal days hunting the vampires and daimons that prey upon mankind. He is currently on the hunt for a very old and deadly daimon named Desiderius who has deemed it sport to handcuff Kyrian to a human while he hunts him. Now Kyrian and Amanda must find a way to break their bond before they give into their dangerous attraction to one another. Or Desiderius kills them both...'Move over, Anne Rice. Kenyon's Dark Hunter books are changing the face of the vampire novel, making it hip, darker, and all the more appealing.' Publishers Weekly
I read this book ages ago and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I became obsessed with all things Dark Hunters but reading it again, all these years later, the magic for this book and for this series is just gone. I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as I did the first time I read it and I wanted to smack the shit out of pretty much everyone, except Talon. Amanda made me want to pull her hair, Kyrian acted like an immature ass and don't even get me started on Tabitha. Meh. I'm so glad that book club is done and I can move on with my life.
