Romance Paranormal

Mencheres is not your typical powerful immortal who walks around giving advice and lending a hand when the need arises. After surviving for over 4,500 years old, he lives by his own set of morals and even has some self-esteem issues. Mencheres may be able to kill someone with a blink of an eye, but this is a man who hurts and suffers for it. The one woman he loved (his greedy Egyptian Princess wife Patra) betrayed him and tried to destroy all that was good inside of him. Instead of embracing that darkness and ruling over all the weaker undead with an iron fist, Mencheres surrounds himself with those who care for him and has made his own close-knit family. Kira Graceling has a crappy job working as a private investigator in Chicago. She basically keeps an eye on cheating husbands. As she's walking home late one night, she comes across a man being attacked. She tries to save him and is almost killed in the process. The man is Mencheres, who was in the middle of battling a few nasty ghouls sent by his old enemy, Radje, who hides behind his role as a Vampire Law Guardian. Mencheres would love nothing more than to get rid of Radje, but if he does, he'll be marked for death and not even his own god-defying powers can save him. Mencheres saves Kira from death by giving her his blood to drink and brings her to his home to recover. It seems Kira is immune to Mencheres' power. As Mencheres gets to know Kira better, he decides he can't keep her with him, even though he feels at peace with her around. His next decision regarding Kira starts an unfortunate chain of events. ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS (Night Huntress World, Book #2) is perfect for fans of smoldering, angsty vampire heroes and the dangerous world they inhabit. Mencheres enjoys the lifestyle to which he has grown accustomed. He is much like a vampire dictator, but a very merciful one. Kira comes from the school of hard knocks. Though she and Mencheres are very different people, they mesh together perfectly. The chemistry and sexual tension between Mencheres and Kira is hot. Reading a Jeaniene Frost novel is like visiting old friends. ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS is a solid read all around and I look forward to the future adventures of Mencheres and Kira.

SUMMARY

ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS is the latest installment in the Night Huntress series involving Master Vampire Mencheres and fearless, beautiful Chicago investigator Kira Graceling. 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.
