Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene FrostMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost, is the 2nd book in Night Huntress World duet, which is a spin-off from her best selling Night Huntress Series.
I have always found Mencheres, Egyptian pharaoh, master vampire, 4500 years old and Bone’s sire, a captivating and intriguing character throughout his appearances in the series and I was eager to read his story.
The story opens up with Kira Graceling a Chicago private investigator, coming to the rescue of Mencheres, whilst he’s being tortured by a group of ghouls. When she’s critically injured by the ghouls during her attempted rescue, Mencheres heals her injuries with his blood and transports her to his home to ensure that she’s okay. The plan he has is once she’s recovered, he will wipe out her memory and send her back to her human life. Unfortunately, Kira is immune to him being able to control her mind. Something that very rarely happens with humans. He persuades her to stay for a week, which should be enough time for him to work his “magic” on her memory.
I often speculated about what type of woman could ever match Mancheres……..and now we get to find out!
I absolutely loved Kira. She’s strong, speaks her mind, open minded and not afraid to come to terms with the situation she finds herself in after discovering that her savior is actually a vampire. And when Mencheres is forced to turn her into a vampire, she faces the new changes in her life with grit, determination – what a change from those heroines who run around whining and moaning…..she gets up and goes forward. She’s such a change from the usual women Mencheres has been with for eons.
This is a worthy partner for Mencheres……
“You don't have to echo my feelings, Mencheres, but you can't talk me out of them either. I love you" Her smile was wry. "Deal with it.”I loved these two together. The chemistry and sexual tension between them is unbelievable. I found the pool scene totally sizzling…..and watching Kira make a move on the gorgeous vampire was a true lesson on seduction….
Think about someone who hasn’t had sex for over 900 years…okay, he hasn’t forgotten his skills, don’t worry,..
These new feelings that Mencheres is experiencing are going to come between his decision to destroy Radjedef, an Egyptian vampire now one of the vampire Guardians, who wants Manchere’s powerful gifts for himself, something that is certainly not going to happen….and then end his life. Something Kira is determined to stop him from doing. Did I not say she’s focused and determined before???
One of my favorite couples – yes, Cat and Bones make an appearance in the story…and even more happy times…so does Vlad, the vampire!!! He has some of the best lines in this story.
This is a fun, sexy, romantic and fast-paced read…….one that I will be rereading again and again.
