Sins of the Night (A Dark-Hunter Novel) 
asked by 78704 on November 17, 2006 6:42 PM
In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honor that even immortal bad boys must follow: Harm no human. Drink no blood. Never fall in love. But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway me. I am relentless and unfeeling. Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die. Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead. But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever loved?

My favorite of the Dark Hunter novels are ones which give equal time to the hero and heroine and to Ash and Simi. The later in the series you go, the more apt you are to find this equation, and Sins of the Night is no exception. If you are, like me, a Simi fan, you'll be delighted by this tale and the facets of her race it reveals.
Not to take away from the main romance in the novel, although after referring to each other as infectious one too many times our hero (Alexion) and heroine (Danger) make the reader believe they're dealing with a plague.
Other than that small annoyance, the only detractors from their romance are the usual ones found in the DH series - namely, the couple are well drawn with very understandable reservations and yet fall into bed with each other without much backup story.
Aside from that, Alexion's story is a highly interesting one and like all the DH novels before it, reveals another small piece in the universe's pie.
As an added bonus, this printing includes the short story The Beginning, which tells the abreviated tale of the very first Dark Hunters and the bargain struck between Acheron and Artemis. Something not to be missed by fans of the series.

Excellent addition to the Dark Hunter series. Enough new twist to keep it interesting.
