Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Viehl returns to the world of the Darkyn (after November 2011’s Nightshine) in the disappointing first of a new trilogy about vampire lords. Korvel, trapped in service as the seneschal of the Darkyn high lord, has been sent to retrieve a dangerous artifact hidden away by another vampire lord. Simone Derien, a sentinel among those who serve the Kyn, is constrained by a bargain with her father that granted her freedom in return for protecting the artifact. When the artifact is stolen by a psychopath seeking immortality, Korvel and Simone must work together to retrieve it, and Simone must choose between her growing affection for the vampire and a duty that requires Korvel’s death. Tempestuous sex scenes never elevate the tale to the compelling nature of Viehl’s Kyndred books; fans of the first series will no doubt be pleased by the return of familiar characters, but others are likely to search for their vampire fix elsewhere. (Mar.)

    ANOTHER WINNER BY MS. VIEHL Our Review [by Michelle L. Olson &n

    ANOTHER WINNER BY MS. VIEHL

    Our Review [by Michelle L. Olson – LITERAL ADDICTION’s Pack Alpha]:
    I have thoroughly enjoyed Lynn Viehls Darkyn and Kyndrd series. In this 2nd spinoff to the Darkyn series, Lords of the Darkyn, she hits another homerun with some old and new characters and thoroughly engaging plotline.

    Korvel, seneschal for high lord Richard, is sent on a quest to find an artifact used and hidden by his kyn back in the Templar days.

    He meets up with Simone, a pseudo-nun with an interesting past and an even more interesting secret.

    Their journey to find the scroll is action packed and thrilling. Their chemistry is amazing, and despite the hardships they encounter they make a wicked team and bring things to a satisfying conclusion.

    I was ecstatic to finally see a happily ever after for my beloved Korvel (he’s been the underdog that I’ve been cheering on for 2 series now) and having 2 of my sassy kyndred turned kyn heroines – Alexandra and Nicola – back was an amazing treat. It was also very interesting to see a little bit deeper into the relationship between Nicola and Gabriel. There’s has probably been the rockiest of them all, but they’re also a couple that you want the best for.

    I’m really excited to see where the Lords of the Darkyn series goes. I loved the way it started and I’m looking forward to book #2.

    LITERAL ADDICTION gives Nightborn 4 Skulls, and would recommend it to all Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance readers. While you don’t have to read the Darkyn and/or Kyndred series before reading this book, I would suggest that you do. There’s SO much history there and this book will be way more enjoyable with that knowledge locked away. All 3 series have been incredible and they’re definitely worth the time and money.
