Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World Series #2)

Book Description

An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness . . .

And now one woman has stumbled into the shadows.

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 he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

But with danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves, or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.

Jeaniene Frost continues to be one of the sub-genre's top Master mages.

Ancient Egyptian Master Vampire Mencheres believes his life is coming to an end. Ti protects those he cherishes from an in family civil war to replace him by designating Bones as his co-ruler; especially since he expects a life and death showdown with his enemy Radjedef.

In Chicago, Ghouls seemingly have trapped Mencheres, but mortal private investigator Kira Graceling saves his life; at least she thinks so when she courageously dives into the fight. Stunned by the mortal's bravery, Mencheres finds himself dazzled by Kira who is attracted to him though fearful of the strange world she discovered when she jumped into his fight. However, as he now has a reason to live, he fears her distraction and attraction will kill both of them.

The second sidebar spin-off from the superb Night Huntress saga (see First Drop of Crimson) is a great urban fantasy as the Master vampire falls in love at an extremely bad time. Filled with action, as Mencheres tries to keep his beloved from becoming a pawn in the death match with his adversary a great risk to his existence, Jeaniene Frost continues to be one of the sub-genre's top Master mages.

Loved it

Another great book to te Halfway to the Grave series. I love JF books. The only thing I would like to see is the endings being a little less cut and dry. The whole book just builds and the ending is like ok we win, Love ya bye.

Bliss, pure bliss...

Ms. Frost has done it again. Mencheres and Kira are as endearing as Cat and Bones. You will love this story. You will route for Kira who is so brave and headstrong (just like Cat). Mencheres is taken by her bravery and honesty and by her love for him. Bliss, this was pure bliss for me. Keep 'em coming, Ms. Frost!

Great Paranormal Book!

I loved this book...could not put it down. I liked getting to know some of the other characters from the "Grave" series with a little dash of Cat & Bones. Liked this one just as much as First Drop...hoping for a sequel!

Awesome!

I cannot express how much I have enjoyed these books! This one is a stand alone and will not give anything away like Spade's book did, but you should still read this before book #5 of the Cat and Bones series. I sincerely hope that Vlad gets his own story! I love his wit, and he could certainly support his own story......maybe Vlad and Justina.....would that be too weird?

Good, but...

I really like J. Frost, the Night Huntress Series, and loved First Drop of Crimson. However, I didn't like this book as much. I probably didn't like it as much because I didn't really have a connection with the main characters. In First Drop of Crimson, I already knew the two main characters. In this book, I only knew of the main lead character, and even then there wasn't much I knew about him from the other books. Overally though, I thought it was a good book.

Excellent love story. This book was a page turner and superior to First Drop of Crimson, which I also liked a lot.

Great read! So nice to read about a friend of Cat and Bones!

Ms. Frost’s Night Huntress series is one that I have follo

Ms. Frost’s Night Huntress series is one that I have followed from the start, so when she decided to expand that world and give some of her more memorable secondary characters their own books I was thrilled at the idea. Her second “world” book, Eternal Kiss of Darkness, took a closer look at the inscrutable Mencheres, who is one of the oldest and most powerful vampires in existence. He is also, as we open this story, convinced it is his time to die. Enter our indomitable heroine, Kira Graceling.

This book was a fun and fast read, both poignant and passionate in good measure. Taking a powerhouse like Mencheres and finding him a suitable mate who is able to understand at least some of his past baggage was a tall order and I feel for the most part Ms. Frost delivered. Where I had the largest problem was with the villain of this piece, Radjedef. I found him irritating. Not particularly scary, or believable as a powerhouse himself; just irritating. This, I’m afraid, did somewhat muddy the story for me; to the point that I broke one of my longer standing guidelines and flipped to the end of the book to see what happened. I was able to read the second half of this story with less irritation once I was assured that Radje reaped the fruits of his ill-deeds.

However, Radje aside, I enjoyed the irreverence of this book—taking us everywhere from Disneyland to the Pyramids in our undead adventure—this story wove memorable characters, steamy love scenes, and a quirky humor into a fun yarn that had me enjoying it for hours. My only regret was that I was unable to spend greater time getting to know these characters, but I have high hopes that I will see them again in later Night Huntress books, and then—maybe—find more closure in their story. As it stands, this book gave insight into a very inscrutable character, and in so doing greater depth and breadth to the series as a whole.

I recommend this book.

As a recent fan of Jeanienne Frost, I appreciated this look into Mencheres' life. When he was first introduced to me in the first book, I somehow got the impression of an old man. Not so! I love the intrigue, the plot turns, etc. These are just great books.

Like Cat & Bones?

READ

Love it!

I would never have guessed Mencheres would have this side to him! Great read!
