Night Embrace
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Let me start my review by saying that the Dark Hunter series is intricate and complex. Yes, you can jump in at any book but to fully appreciate the overall plotline ( *cough cough* Acheron), I highly recommend reading them in order.
Now that's out of the way let's get into my review- I loved Talon and Sunshines story. I listened to this via audiobook and Carrington MacDuffie nailed Sunshines southern twang right on the head!!!!! She has a unique voice that made differentiating the characters quite easy and her overall tonality was on point.
Talon is your typical bad boy but his past is anything but. In the old days, he let his pride and rage blind him and he pissed off a Celtic God who has been gunning for him ever since and taking away everything he loves. Sunshine is not my typical heroine with her "hippy-dippy" vibe but I enjoyed her sassy demeanor and her sweet, kind heart.
As Sunshine comes to some startling revelations, and Talon learns to come to terms with his tumultuous past, I can't help but swoon at their story. They really were perfectly matched though quite opposite in personality and I adored how they eventually found their way to each other in the end.
One thing that Sherrilyn Kenyon excels at is weaving very minute intricate details that may not seem to contribute to the current story but are essential to the overall plotline. She also pens characters that you can't help rooting for despite their past or circumstances. Her world-building skills and attention to detail are spectacular and even if the individual stories do not wow me, I believe the Dark Hunter universe to be one of the best and well thought out.
My favorite character in this novel is not Talon or Sunshine but rather Zarek. He is my typical broody, dark and dangerous character and I am hella excited to read his story! It would be remiss of me if I did not include a one-liner about the ultimate badass of the entire series- Acheron, the man of my dreams and all-around heartthrob.
