Seize the Night
(Book 6, Dark-Hunter Series)
By Sherrilyn Kenyon

Valerious is the noble son of a Roman senator who thought sparring the rod…er…tree trunk, spoil the child.  It's obvious Val developed a standoffish personality and he doesn't play nice with the other Dark-Hunters, but he does his job well.  One night he's minding his own business, fighting those pesky vampires and then the next second he gets stabbed in the chest, by a quirky mortal human woman who's trained herself to kill vampires; Tabbitha.   Tabbitha, a self proclaimed vampire hunter, lives life to the fullest and doesn't care what other people think of her.  She's no stranger to being considered crazy and at times an outcast.  She's definitely Val's complete opposite but he finds her captivating and to make matters worse, she's the twin sister his mortal enemy's wife.  Mixed in to fray of love between the two, there's a god out for revenge and won't rest until Tabbitha's family is all dead; that means a two-thousand year old fued riddled with hate and injustice needs to be resolved…just peachy.

Its amazing when you think about it, everyone has just one side of the story.  And to quote a very smart "god"; "There's always two sides to the story…and then there's the truth."  It always take a brave person to seek out the truth, but even braver person to find peace with the truth.  With this story, it cemented my firm fanaticism to Kenyon's Dark-Hunter World.  When she first introduced Valerious in a previous book, I really despised his character and of course my curiosity was peaked wanting to know what really happened two-thousand years ago.  AND, I love the interweaving of characters and the ever growing mystery that is Acheron!  For the full book-list visit Sherrilyn Kenyon's Official Website
