Oh, the romances!


34. Kenyon, Sherrilyn. Night Pleasures. 336 pages. 4.6.09.



The "quality" of the Kindle version is extremely poor, and certainly not worth the $8 they charge. Punctuation and words are missing, lines are printed at irregular intervals, and sometimes they're so smashed together you can't make out what belongs on what line. I am really disappointed, and I hope these errors are related to this series and not others.

While still entertaining, I didn't find Night Pleasures to be nearly as engaging as the first Dark-Hunter book. The characters are more 2-dimensional, the plot is a bit static and underdeveloped, and there is just a feeling of "less" all around.

I find the reviews calling this a vampire novel rather amusing. While Kenyon calls a certain group of characters vampires, that is where the genre ends. It is an inconsequential detail in the novel, and you could replace the word "vampire" with any other supernatural class and it would not change the plot at all. So for readers looking for an actual vampire novel, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
