A review by reginaexmachina
Night's Cold Kiss by Tracey O'Hara

Did not finish book.

So I picked up this book with no expectations, it had mixed reviews but I figured I'd give it a shot. The first few pages describe Antoinette, and to a lesser degree her brother Nici, on a mission. Antoinette is a Venator, meaning she is part of a group of humans hunting a type of creature called dreniacs. Supposedly from the opening and the blurb on the back I understood there's good vampires and bad vampires with the dreniacs being the 'bad' ones and a group called the Aeternus are the 'good' vampires. When Antoinette and her brother were children they were rescued by a Aeternus man called Christian. Some kind of shady dealings are going on with the Aeternus and Christian looks into it. This means Christian has to contact the Venators which gives him an opportunity to see Antoinette again. Antoinette see's Christian and is visibly upset and Christian leaves.

About right there I couldn't take it any more. Antoinette seemed an okay heroine but Christian's POV drove me nuts. He see's this woman whom he's barely seen since she was a little girl and immediately goes into descriptions of how he visions her naked and moaning. Eww. Maybe it's just me but he came off kind of ... sleazy to me. And the over-the-top descriptions were killing me. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
