Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost

Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, #2)

by Jeaniene Frost

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 her 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.

I love the world that Jeaniene Frost has created with her Night Huntress series, and have really enjoyed getting to know the side characters better in the Night Huntress World series.

I read this book in an afternoon, and quite frankly blew right through it. In many ways, the story was over too soon, but I think that’s more because I read the book straight through with few interruptions rather than the book itself. I lacked time to mull the story over in my head and really become connected to the book. (note to self: slow down next time) This is a typical Jeaniene Frost book though, which means that it’s awesome.

I really enjoyed getting to know Mencheres and Kira. They don’t quite have the same snark as Cat and Bones (but really, who could?), but I still connected with them. After the previous books, there seemed to be a lot of mystery surrounding Mencheres, and this gave us a chance to know him better. You got the feeling that behind all that power was a lot of responsibility, and a tortured soul that you had to love. Mencheres handles it well. Kira was a good match for him.
