Night Embrace

By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrated by: Carrington MacDuffie

The second installment in Sherrilyn Kenyon's bestselling Dark-Hunter series, Night Embrace.

As an ancient Celtic warrior, Talon made one giant mistake— he killed the son of the war god Camulus. In anger and outrage, Camulus cursed him—Everyone Talon loved would die a horrible death in front of his eyes. But when Talon's clan slaughters his young sister while he watches, powerless to stop them, he sells his soul for vengeance against them. Two thousand years later in modern-day New Orleans, as part of the bargain he made, he's now an immortal protector who keeps mankind safe from the creatures who would prey on them. A life he's happy with until he meets Sunshine—an offbeat artist who reminds him what it's like to really live. Unfortunately for both of them, it's Mardi Gras, and New Orleans is teeming with a complex plot of ancient gods, including Camulus, who are now out to re-conquer the world. The gloves are off and it's time for a rematch with Talon out to save everyone, including the artist who makes him insane.

Love this series! Have listened multiple times.

The Dark Hunter series is the perfect mix of romance, action and humor. Holds your interest while making you swoon. Narration is fantastic. I have listened to this series more than once, which is a rarity for me.

Fantastic storyline

Sherrilyn Kenyon is a great storyteller. Her characters are amazing. I love how each book is new but regular characters check in. I Love the Dark Hunters series.

I really enjoyed the story and history of the main couple in this book while learning more on side characters as well. I found the diolougue funny and endearing.

Can he really save New Orleans?

Talon is an immortal that can only emerge from his home after dark. Sunshine is a human that loves the daylight. Can they merge their completely different lifestyles?

Talon, thousands of years old, finds that he cannot leave Sunshine defenseless when his enemies target her. She is a bright light in his otherwise dark world and when they stay together for her protection, her inquisitive nature and gentle stubbornness frustrates and attracts him.

Mardi Gras is coming and the enemy is out in full force hunting for Sunshine.

Can he keep her safe while the enemies of the Dark-Hunters are determined to kill her?
