Unleash the Night (Dark-Hunter, Book 9)

Other reviews describe the book and its characaters. All I can say is EXCELLENT! Will definately be re-read again and again. Wren and Maggie will be two of my favorite DH characters.

If you have liked all of the other Dark Hunter series, you will not be disappointed with this new book. Again I look forward to Kenyon's next in the series. It will not come fast enough for me!!

Wren Tigarian is an ophan with no clan to claim him, and too many people who would like to see him dead. Maggie Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent family who's always felt out of place in her father's world. Two misfits find they make a perfect fit for each other, but in order to find a happy ending, they have avoid all the people who want Wren dead. Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series becomes richer and more real with each new story added to the series. This was the perfect first book of my new year!

I am a huge fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon. I think she has created a unique and exciting world with the Dark Hunters and Were Hunters. This does not mean that I love all of those books though. I didn't like Alexion's book. I didn't really "feel" him as a character and therefore couldn't summon the appropriate amount of interest in his story. So anyway, I feel that I can say completely without exaggeration that this book is great! Wren is probably one of my favorite characters now. He was probably always one of my favorites; I liked that he was quiet and intense. I also like that as the story progressed he grew more able to speak out and defend himself. I didn't see one point where his behavior was contradictory. Spending your life thinking that you are all alone and then feeling an inexpicable need for a specific person's company and affection must be a very disturbing experience. There are a few confusing parts toward the end of the book, but overall that is a minor weakness compared to the strength of the entire story and the strength of the characters chemistry. Worth the money!

Ten years ago his were-parents died leaving Wren Tigarian totally alone in the world; no clan will recognize this taboo induced offspring, the son of a were-tiger and were-snow leopard; many believe he is an abomination. Thus he learned to trust only himself as a were-hunter living in Sanctuary along side neighbors whose overt hatred flow from everyone's eyes. Six months ago in New Orleans someone murdered Cherise Gautier in her home; her son Nick vanished without a trace so the local cops assume he murdered his mother and fled the crime scene. Nick's friend Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau rejects the official position as she knows her buddy adored his mom. Ignoring the warning of her US Senator from Louisiana father to stay away from the Gautier mess, Marguerite searches for Nick starting at one of his favorite haunts in Sanctuary where she meets Wren. They are attracted to one another from that first glance, but she is on a quest, which makes him jealous; soon she adds a second mission to prove that her beloved Wren did not kill his parents he is now being accused of the double homicides. UNLEASH THE NIGHT, the latest Dark-Hunter fantasy thriller, is one of the best entries in a strong series. Wren is the classic misfit loner who believes he found his life mate in Marguerite, the courageous Cajun who shares his feelings, but has a quest to complete before pursuing their forbidden relationship that will leave her dad wanting to filibuster it . The who-done-it elements augment a strong urban romantic fantasy that seizes the night from an enchanted audience. Harriet Klausner
