A Dark-Hunter Novel

Narrado por: Carrington MacDuffie

The first installment of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series, Night Pleasures.

The Dark-Hunters are ancient warriors who have sworn to protect mankind and the fate of the world is in their hands. . .

He is solitude. He is darkness. He is the ruler of the night. Yet Kyrian of Thrace has just woken up handcuffed to his worst nightmare: An accountant. Worse, she's being hunted by one of the most lethal vampires out there. And if Amanda Devereaux goes down, then he does too. But it's not just their lives that are hanging in the balance. Kyrian and Amanda are all that stands between humanity and oblivion. Let's hope they win.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[A] publishing phenomenon…[Sherrilyn Kenyon is] the reigning queen of the wildly successful paranormal scene. . .Just one example of arguably the most in-demand and prolific authors in America these days.” —Publisher's Weekly

“Kenyon's writing is brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative. These are not your mother's vampire novels.” —The Boston Globe

What a man!

I think this is the man all women dream about. I not into romance but this was pretty good. The book added the supernatural to the romance or I would not have listened to it. I may even go on to book 2. I love listening to a good series and there are 20 in all. So we'll see.

just okay

the narration was on point. but this story is just okay. theres nothing amazing or terrible about it. from the world-building to the character development, this story was across the board average. I thought the sex scenes were kind of laughable, but thats not really a big deal. overall I doubt I'll read anymore of this series unless someone can convince me it gets better.

Good story.....bad accent! :-)

I really enjoyed the story line. The only complaint would be the bad New Orleans (I'm assuming that what the narrator was going for!) accent of Amanda & her family. I couldn't tell if they were transplants from deep Georgia that were trying for the NOLA sound or what. Being a Southern girl...I found it a bit annoying. But the story line made up for it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Definitely not my favorite

I usually love all things sherrilyn Kenyon but this story, one of her firsts, just doesn't read well. Maybe I'm bias or maybe it's like all beginnings where it's rough the more you reread/listen. Meshes come along way since this story. Not a fan of the narrator, she did a better job in Julian and graces story

as always amazing

Great story lines. love the mixture of mythology. hate Artemis with the passion that consumes my soul I can't wait to see Simi

Good Enough Story, ATROCIOUS NARRATION

The narrator does not bring the story to life, instead I feel like my grandmother is reading it me & with the sex scenes in this book, it just makes me cringe. She mispronounces many of the words especially the Greek ones, I feel like there was no editor or feedback given to her during the recording. Her male voices are not realistic at all just sounds like me when I’m trying to mock my husband. Save your Credits and read the eBook instead.

Night Pleasures YES!

In this book we find out Kerrion's story and I love it, this book is FUNNY & YUMMY!

Couldn't finish it

Would you consider the audio edition of Night Pleasures to be better than the print version?

Not even a little. Night Pleasures is one of my favorites in the DH series...and I couldn't finish the audio version of it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hmm. In this one Kyrian is my favorite, but only because Nick isn't in it as much as I'd like.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Carrington MacDuffie?

Unfortunately, just about anyone else. The accents were too jarring (too sacharine southern for Amanda and Tabitha, I couldn't figure out Kyrian's, and Talon's was just...no.) If I had my greatest wish fulfilled? It would be this one, and Night Embrace to be re-recorded by Holter Graham.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nope. I couldn't even finish it in several sittings.

This is actually book 2 in the series!

I am starting to understand the rave reviews for the dark hunter series. "Fantasy Lover" was book one in the series and I gave that book 5 stars but even though this book was great it did not live up to the first books perfection. There seems to be a formula for Kenyon's books, Greek Gods and women, fall in love and happily ever after. I'm hoping for more diversity and depth with the next in the series. I've already read all of "chronicles of nick" series and was glad to see Nick introduced in this book. The narrator did an ok job but could be better.
I will be moving on to the next book in the series.

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

A naughty book with an addictive storyline.

Had a hard time breaking away from the book when I needed to. She is a great storyteller.
