Dear Reader,

Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.

Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.

But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.

--Talon of the Morrigantes

Another great one by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

We met Talon in Kyrian's book and although this book is a bit different from Kyrian and Julian's book, it's still a winner in my book. Talon has different powers, different issues and boy does the man have the sexiest tatoo's on a body. This book had me laughing out loud so many times and it also made me fall in love with some Were Hunters....woo hoo! I also met my very favorite Dark Hunter in this book which I'll always be thankful for. hehe.

The book sends us on a powerful journey through New Orleans and really shows us the art of reincarnation. Very cool stuff, Sunshine and Talon were wonderful together and SK just really did a great job with their story. The Dark Hunter family is one of a kind and you see that in this book. The bond between Ash (the Head DH) and the Dark Hunters is friggin' top notch to read about and the humor in this book, along with the action makes for some really great hours of reading.

LOVE it.
