Book Review: Sins of the Night - by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Synopsis: Sins of the Night is #11 in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters series. This is the story of Alexion (aka: Ias) and Danger. Danger is a Dark-Huntress who works in Mississippi. Things are pretty slow there, Daimon-hunting wise, until Alexion shows up. He has been sent by Acheron, the head of the Dark-Hunters, to act as judge, jury, and executioner of some rogue Dark-Hunters in the area who are plotting to join the ranks of the Daimons and try to destroy Ash. He's not your average demi-god, either. Alexion is a breed apart. He lives with Ash in his home on Katoteros (it's like an Atlantean netherworld) and can only take physical form on earth for brief periods of time when he is sent out to bring naughty Dark-Hunters to justice. Danger doesn't want to rat out her friends, but Alexion manages to convince her that he is on the right side of this war. And, of course, they fall in love in the process. But their love is doomed from the beginning since he must return home within a few short days, never to return.

I liked this story pretty well. There is a great scene at the beginning where we get to see what Ash's homelife is like, which makes the whole book worthwhile reading. We also learn more about Simi, Ash's demon companion. I liked the interplay between the hero and heroine. They have nice repartee and the romance is truly bittersweet as they hurtle helplessly toward their tragic separation.

My LibraryThing rating: 4 stars
