Night Pleasures

My first romance/spicy book. It just lacked. Because it had sex in it, I just wanted those parts. I didn't care about the overlying plot because it was so lackluster that I just ignored it completely after the first little bit. It isn't a reflection on the book itself, rather the genre itself. I want to continue reading the genre and perhaps get more M/M pairings to see if that is better for me

Mixed feelings, some stories where good, other less so, but reading them all after eachother one thing becomes obvious, they all say things the same way, even with all the different backgrounds and lack of social skills/contact they use the same endearments.

The stories around all that are good, but some scenes feel like more of the same and I just had to skim through.

I wanted to like it but it was kinda weird and also this white lady's sister is a voodoo priestess? I get she's like half or quarter Creole or whatever but also squints
Otherwise, it was fun in some parts, super dated in others. PDAs and belt clips for phones used to be cool when this book was written but now I HAVE TO laugh lol

I have read quite a few of the Dark-Hunter series not in any correct order but this book just reminded me of why I fell in love with the universe and SK's writing.

Her characters make me laugh. Make me swoon. Make me want to kick some daimon ass.

SK will take you on a ride where one minute your heart is racing and you're blushing from some serious steam to crying from the tortured past her characters have. I love it all!

I'm pretty sure I have read this already once... but, doesn't matter, I like it :-D
Night Pleasures is a paranormal romance - in cube. The Grandmother of All Paranormal Romance. There's like everything, vampires, demons, witches, woodoo priestesses, two meters tall dark handsomes with perfect bodies and everything that's needed for good paranormal romance :-D
And the heroine is truly heroic and truly a strong woman, and even though they will probably live happily ever after and have a lot of sex and make beautiful babies and never work a day in their lives again, because their hubbies are richer than anyone, I don't care :-D After all, this is ROMANCE! What do you expect? :-D

The following is not a spoiler, but “risque” language that some people might find offensive.
My only problem is too much sex. Sex is tricky in romance novels. For some reason you cannot call a cunt a cunt, but it has to always be something like "her deep wetness" or "warm whatever". I really don't understand why there cannot be pure porn in romance novels, when after all, that's what it is , fodder for women's erotic fantasies. And, I mean, he's pounding her like a jackhammer until she screams of orgasm, and everyone who reads it knows what's happening, but, no, it must be "clean" or something. "Oh, no, they are not having sex at all, they are making luuuuuuv...."

Toda a gente já deve ter visto esta coleção em todo o lado e eu não fui a exceção. Decidi começar pelo primeiro livro desta série bem estranha e um pouco fora da época... mas ouvi dizer que a moda dos vampiros está a voltar.

Então para quem não conhece, isto é um romance paranormal no mundo dos Dark-Hunters. Um Dark-Hunter é um guerreiro da noite criado pela Artémis - deusa da vida selvagem e da caça. Homens ou mulheres que morreram de uma forma injusta ou dolorasa ficam com tanta raiva que a Artémis lhes aparare durante a morte e pergunta se eles querem vingar-se das pessoas que os mataram, ela dá-lhes o poder sobrenatural e vida eterna, e eles oferem a sua alma e juram obedecer a deusa.

A perguta é: se o Dark-Hunter é um guerreiro, então com quem ele luta? Bem, existe outros seres sobrenaturais - Daimons - estes caçam os humanos e sugam-lhes a alma para estender a sua vida. Pois há milhões de anos atrás o seu povo foi amaldiçoado e aos 27 anos de vida eles desentegram-se a não ser que consigam uma alma e como as almas humas não são suficientmente fortes para sustentar a vida de um Daimon, ao fim de algum tempo ele tem que caçar novamente.

Depois desta introdução longa, neste primeiro livro a história é sobre o Kyrian um antigo guerreiro antigo de Trácia que conhece Amanda uma mulher que deixa-o completamente distraído enquanto o Nova Orleães está em perigo.

Sem dúvida que é um livro específico do seu género, mas eu gosto muito da história que começa a desenvolver por trás.

Sem dúvida que vou continuar a ler.

I have decided to try and read this entire series again and fill in my gaps where i missed books. it came up in one of my challenges in my reading group and im so glad I think I enjoyed it more
