So I have been in a reading slump lately and decided to visit one of my all time favorite authors to give me the pick me up that I am sorely in need of and man, did she not disappoint me. The first time around, I just gave a star rating and after re-reading this again, I feel more comfortable in writing an actual review. In this first-Dark-Hunter book we meet Kyrian of Thrace AKA Hunter and Amanda Devereaux. From the moment of their first meeting, by handcuffs, no less they are immediately attracted to each other. Kyrian is a Dark-Hunter who helps to destroy a race of vampires called Daimons that go after human souls and blood. He has been around some 2000 years and he chose to be a DH because of the way he was betrayed. Let's just say it was severe, painful and bloody awful what happened to him, and in my opinion, he deserved to enact a bit of vengeance on those that did this to him. Amanda on the other hand, has been given gifts since she was born, she has suppressed them because of an awful tragedy that happened in her teenage years. She thought she could live a life of a boring accountant but her huge supernatural family and now meeting Kyrian, dispel that notion. There is an awful Daimon after Kyrian and now Amanda, Kyrian becomes tasked with protecting her and destroying said Daimon. Amanda falls for Kyrian, hard, while Kyrian tries to walk away from his emotions towards her, as he feels it could bring nothing but both of them pain. In the end, justice prevails, Amanda lets her powers fly saves Kyrian and in turn Kyrian saves her. This books is filled with humor, sarcastic wit, action, and most important the power of forgiveness and true love. Kyrian and Amanda get their HEA! Yay! Lol. Now I have read all the books in this series and am pretty familiar with everyone in this book who we later read about in other books or even their very own books. I had a blast re-reading this and am paying even more attention now, then when I first started this series. 5 stars!!!!
