This is a story that told of Talon- a cast-out Celtic Prince from long ago and his relationship with Sunshine of Present day New Orleans.
They first meet with each other as he saves her from a Daimon attack and is then run over to unconsciousness by a Mardi Gras parade float made up of the Greek God Dionysus. Sunshine, thankful for him saving her from attack, takes him to her home so he can rest and heal. Soon after that a passion between the two ignites that would give the fires of Hell a run for its money.
With Talon's mind and emotions scattered and unclear so close to Mardi Gras--a time where Daimons roam the streets in many numbers to pray on human souls, lots of tension ensue throught this 408 page novel.
In comparison to Night Pleasures, the two main characters in this book didnt really keep me interested as much as Kyrian and Amanda did, however it was the side characters, such as Archeron and Zarek, that saved this book for me. I'm very interested in learning more about these two characters and am thoroughly excited that Zarek is going to be the MC in the next novel Dance With the Devil.
I still plan on continuing with this series as I really want to get to Dream Hunter and learn more about the Dream hunter species of the DH world.
All in all I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

Mutlu sonu hiç mutlu son gibi hissettirmedi. Pislik yapıp Ash'in kitabında neler olacağına bakacağım. Başka seçenek bırakmadılar.
Açıkçası boş bir kitaptı. Hiç umrumda olmadı kim ölmüş kim kalmış. Önceki kitaplar iyiydi buna göre yani

So far this series has been pretty entertaining. I have to say I'm impressed with Kenyon's world-building and take on mythologies of all sorts of different groups of people. In this book, she's seamlessly integrated Celtic and Greek mythology, and it was interesting reading about how everything tied together.
I like this series a lot, but I can't give it 4 stars, because, so far, none of the females have been particularly strong, in my opinion. In this one, Sunshine is pretty opinionated, thick-headed, and does her own thing, which I appreciated. But, when it came to the tough stuff, she just stood back and let her man take care of things. If you like that kind of thing, then you'll love this series. I don't really, and I still really like the series for it's entertainment value, character connections, world-building, and overall plot.

fast-paced
A big step up from the first. Thanks to the fact that I got this one in the cheap, I tried it out. It was funny and interesting fron start to finish
So, Talon's a 'Dark Hunter' and has been for centuries...supressing his tragic human past until Sunshine. With a dizzying combination of Greek gods and goddesses and all manner of beasties, Kenyon's created another steamy romance novel. I'm such a sucker for New Orleans that I'll probably read another one.
I'm sure the hero of the next book is one I've already met in the first two...interesting way to keep the cycle going.

Quick Synopsis: Book is primarily about Talon, a Celtic Dark Hunter who needs to keep his emotions under firm control in order to retain his powers. He falls in love with Sunshine, a quirky artists (friends with Selene) but knows that the god who has put a curse on him will kill her if it's ever found out. The god, Camelus, together with Dionysus and Styxx (Ash's brother) have a plot to release the Atlantean Destroyer on the world, which includes Ash's death, as well as Talon's and Sunshine's. We are also introduced to werewolves (Vane and his brother) and 2 other Dark Hunters: A a Roman who hates everyone not of Roman decent and a psychotic DH from Alaska.
This book, although having all the cliche's and similar characters of the last 2 in the series, gets 5 stars from me, mainly for the plot development.
It is starting to irk me that there are always the same phrases being used ("been there, done that, and have the t-shirt to prove it" seems to be a favorite of every villain) and the same personalities (late-twenties, single female who really wants a real guy, finds him; guy thinks he isn't worth it, even though he's the most gorgeous hunk of body ever found and then even though they don't ever think it will work out, they end up being soul mates for eternity).
I really enjoyed the end of the book, I couldn't predict how Talon was going to beat Camelus (kind of sad that he actually didn't have to DO anything to beat him) but loved how Morrigane came back to help him again. Yay happy ending!
