One Silent Night - Dark Hunter Series - Sherrilyn Kenyon

One silent night was a great book. This book showed that Stryker had a soft side to his wicked ways. It was funny to see how everything turned out. War is exactly what his name stands for; he was very cunning and wicked. Stryker was dumb to think that he could control war. Nick has finally grown into a powerful figure in this book now that his background is exposed and his powers are finally unleashed. Strange how things pan out, nick finally has the power to kill Ash, but because he had the capabilities to do it, he is struggling with the fact that he should or should not do it. What was interesting to me, was that they all had to work together to stop war. In this book we see alliances we have never seen before. Somehow I think that these temporary alliances will eventually change the future.  It’s hard to tell what direction this book is going in. In this book we are introduced to new villains that are a lot stronger than the last but it looks as if something more powerful is going to come through.  Now that the Daimon’s absorbed the Gallu’s power they are more powerful than before. I wonder if the will still be the complete enemies of the Dark Hunters, or will they turn out to be acquaintances. I loved Stykers book and could rate it no less than 5 stars.

Lover Reborn -J.R. Ward

I finished Lover Reborn a couple of weeks ago and was saddened as soon as I finished the book. Tohrment’s book was not what I expected but I enjoyed every bit of. There were a lot of twist and turns and of course John and Xhex really made the book interesting with their lover’s quarrel.  Things continue to change in the BDB world and the BOB are making even more of an appearance as the villains and the lessors are pathetic. The new lessor’s are weak and they don’t want to throw down like the old lessors, which was very disappointing. In the mist of the chaos there are so many wars going on. You have the drug war that Avail is leading, the BOD versus the BDB and BDB, BOD against the lessors. In the beginning I was sad to see Wellsi leave us so early, but her departure did not leave us with a complete void because we barely got to know her as a character. Of course I struggled with the fact of Tohrment and NoOne were getting together but I was happy to see Tohrment rising above his loss. The fade ceremony was the most emotional part of the book for me, I cried the whole way through, Yes I know, I get emotional LOL.  I even cried harder when Tohrment lost NoOne………… could the man get a break.
When we were introduced to the BOB I disliked them as a group but I find that my heart is starting to soften to Xcor and the other characters. Of course when Xcor cut up his second in command I was pissed at how he could do such a thing but in the end he won me over again. I wonder if he and Layla will have a story. Avail, I love Avail and hope that we see more of him. He is only out for himself and he makes that widely known. Boy is he making enemies quick. I was disappointed that we did get any information on Lash. He had been lying low for a while, hopefully he makes an appearance soon it seems the lessors need a boost in the evil department. It will be interesting to see how Quinn and Blays book will pick up the story. I gave this book 5 stars.
