So far, this is my FAVOURITE Dark-Hunter novel of the series. I love Sunshine and Talon. I love her and her crackers and soy cheese and him and his chicory coffee and warm beignets. Laugh out loud funny. And so sweet it makes you smile just thinking about it.

Not as good as I remember but it still had its moments.

It's an easy read, but don't read two of her books in a row because they are too repetitive. But if you space them each at least a year apart, they are a great guilty pleasure :)
This is such a great series! I'm excited to finally read ALL the books in the series.
I love how each book is building on the previous ones, all the characters are connected and remaining so in the next book. This is storytelling at it's best! 😄

I am re-reading the Dark Hunter series and I did not write a review for most of them which is ludicrous. Especially since they are some of my favorite books and I think everyone should read them. And this one is one of my favorites.
Talon is male perfection. He has to be one of the most patient men alive. Sunshine cold be a handful at times and where most men I know would have yelled or at least been irritated, Talon thought it was cute. Which makes him one of the sexiest men ever. And then how can you not love Sunshine. She is so ditzy and forgetful and sweet. She isn't your typical heroine and I think that's why I love her so much. I think it would be impossible to hate her.
I loved seeing them together. They are so different but they are so perfect for each other. I loved the whole healthy food vs non healthy food bickering. It was adorable. They are both sarcastic so conversations were funny.
I also loved that there were so many of the different characters in this one.. Now it may be different for me because I have already read all the other books and I know all the characters stories because I have read a couple reviews that complained about this. I loved it though. I love seeing them all interact together. It's like a huge family.
And then there is Zarek. And I love him. I love that he ended up helping Sunshine because she gave him a bowl. I know there are other little reasons but really who doesn't love Zarek. He obviously just needs someone to be kind to him and again I love him.

The second novel in the Dark Hunter series. This novel is much like the first novel; we meet Talon, a Dark Hunter, who stumbles across a girl, who inevitably he’ll fall in love with. In this novel, the reader finds out that the girl he meets, Sunshine is his soulmate. She is an incarnation of his wife from fifteen hundred years ago. As the story goes on Talon’s past keeps coming up to bite him in the butt. His choice of killing a huge war god’s son has him cursed. Anyone who loves Talon is faced a horrible death right in front of him. This leaves Sunshine a vulnerability. This novel was definitely filled with lots of action, and one heck of a lot of romance. The romance plotline sort of takes over, the author tries to equally write both, but it’s definitely not equal. More characters are introduced, and they are quite the characters. Fully rounded, and a bit intrusive, these characters really help the novel move along smoothly. They also really give depth to the dark hunter world. Overall, it’s another introductive novel into the main characters that will be seen in further Dark Hunter novels, which was done well.
These books are like candy to me! I can't seem to get enough! I love the coupling in this novel, and the overarching story is getting better! On to the next!
Sympa au niveau de l'intrigue et des découvertes sur Achéron, mais j'ai trouvé le tout un peu fouillis et les réactions peu crédibles dans ce tome. Qui de plus est; la romance ne m'a pas fait vibrée plus que ça, même si les personnages sont attachants. En revanche j'ai adoré l'avant dernier chapitre qui alterne les points de vue et laisse filtrer des infos bien appétissantes sur Valérius, Zarek et Ash.
Este libro me costó terminarlo, sinceramente no me gustó nada u.u

Love, pain, loss, blessings, death, reunion, sacrifice, torture, happiness, parenthood, responsibility, darkness, evil, honor, goodness, determination, and redemption are just an itsy-bitsy list of the themes with which Night Embrace is gonna rock your world. You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you're gonna face-scream and applause pretty much throughout the entirety of this awesome behemoth. Put simply, Bilbo had it right - this book's gonna adventure you so hardcore. And, this loveliness starts, of course, with Talon of the Morrigantes.
Basically, he's the epitome of a bad-ass. A Celtic bad-ass, even. However, in my not so important opinion, while I adore Talon (because c'mon, how could you not?) I find his back-story, while heart breaking, less so in comparison to other tragic Dark-Hunter stories. Mind you, this could be my being a picky-ass, but Talon's personal tragedies were often brought about by his own choices. These choices, and while understandable, put a distance in my adoration of him. I fully admit, though, that my wanting to slap him upside the head with a crowbar, on occasion, did contribute to making him a fleshed out character.
(*Grins.*) Joking aside, Talon is unique among the DH boys for, while scrumptious and tortured, he frequently allows his emotions to get the better of him, thus making him seem more human than any other Dark-Hunter. I like Tally, but there exists an element that makes me want to throttle him right before I hug him. Still, while bodaciously adorable and likeable, it's Talon's sense of humor that wins him All Of The Loves. His dynamic with Nick, Acheron, fellow Dark-Hunters, hell, even with frenemies like Zarek, will undoubtedly leave your face muscles aching from laughter. Of course, speaking of laughter, we can't neglect Sunshine Runningwolf.
Yep. I admit it; I totally love her with much love. Of all the heroines that could be written, she is the single most memorable. Without question this girl struts on the page with bucket-loads of personality that grab you be the shirt and ask, "Who IS this chick?" A flibbertigibbet artist who is unquestionably a refugee from a hippie camp, what makes Sunny so adorable is, yes, her forgetfulness, yes, her love of life, but most importantly her heart. While Talon is her antithesis in the small things, the two share a kindness for others that is remarkable, and down right adorable.
Oh, by the way, did I mention the plot?! Holy-crap-stick, THE PLOT! This baby comes in at a whopping 408 pages, and that's a bit long for a standard mass market paperback, but trust that this sucker doesn't lag. We've got pissed off gods, renegade Dark-Hunters, an "let's-avoid-the-apocalypse" story line, not to mention a most excellent cast of supporting characters. Interestingly, while the plot does take a backseat to the romantic buildup and relationship of Talon and Sunshine (we'll get to that in a minute, friends), when this sucker arrives for the climax, it busts onto the scene with TNT. The surrounding plot threads make this book unquestionably fun, mind-blowing, and definitely worth the read. As for the actual romance between Talon and Sunshine? Well...
I know, I know! (*Ducks behind couch to avoid the rotten tomatoes.*) Sadly, I'm not really in the Fangirl Camp for these two awesome characters. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love them as characters, and while I do believe the HEA at the end, I never really felt the connectivity between them as their story was unfolding. I think this stems largely from the soul mate aspect (you'll see when you read), but because of this it made their romance difficult for me. I still heart them, I did love the book, and I enjoyed Talon and Sunshine interacting, but as for the love-story itself? Gotta say no. The book kicks copious ass, even outside the lovey-dovey element, if for no other reason than climax, the supporting cast, and the universe around Talon and Sunshine. These elements make this book so frakking good.
You request it, Night Embrace, and you damned sure get it.
