Book Review: Unleash the Night - by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Synopsis: Unleash the Night is #13 in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters series. It is the story of Wren, another Were-Hunter (he's a tiger/leopard mix) who lives by the skin of his teeth at Sanctuary, the Were-Hunter owned bar in New Orleans that is featured in previous novels. He falls for Marguerite (aka: Maggie), a human, who happens to be a rich senator's daughter and the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, the bears who own Sanctuary are none too keen on him staying there, particularly after he has some run-ins with local law enforcement and starts dating a human. He is being hunted by his own kind, though, so losing the safety of Sanctuary means he is fair game for those out to kill him.

On the whole, I liked this novel. It was kind of odd, though. The first half of the book was awesome. We get a lot of scenes with dreamy, blond-haired, dred-locked Wren sending smoldering looks at Maggie from across the room. He is shy and sweet (I'm a total sucker for the shy, quite type). She is clean-cut and good-hearted and pretty much falls in love with him right from the get-go. But then the second half of the book gets kind of bogged down in the plot of the money-grubbing relatives who are out to get him. A nice bonus, though, was getting to see some familiar characters: Julian, Vane, Fury, and Dante.

This one got 4 stars in my LibraryThing catalog.
