Narrative During Books Born of Night (The League: Nemesis Rising #1)
In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all. Expertly trained and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption . . . Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target. As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them the most: each other.Particularize Books Toward Born of Night (The League: Nemesis Rising #1)

Spoilers are abound in this review. Read at your own risk.Okay, well I lied about Darling's book being my last Kenyon novel and ended up doing this one on a dare. Why? Because I am silly like that and am just a glutton for punishment, especially since I know the punishment before it is even spoken -.-Anyway, it's basically like any other book Kenyon has ever written. The only thing that consistently changes? The character names, nothing more, nothing less. We have the same setup for love, plot,5 stars Paranormal/Sci-Fi RomanceIve had Kenyons Dark-Hunter series on my TBR list for quite some time now, but Im a little bit intimated by the number of books there are to get caught up on. The premise of The League series sounded interesting, the characters seemed intriguing, and with only three books produced so far, it felt a little less daunting of an undertaking. The main word that comes to mind to describe how I felt about this book is...WOW! And if its indicative of her other works,
*You have to learn to smile through your pain. Sometimes its all we got.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She belonged to the day, to warmth and sunshine.Her world was light and wonderful, filled with love and laughter.And he was born of night. His mother was the darkness, her cold embrace was all he had a right to crave. I love that the story focuses more on the characters and not the sci-fi world!:) and its easy to read...Nykyrian as the hero
I unashamedly love Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. Yes, even while I read them I am well aware that they are a bit stupid, a bit trite, but I still love them. Born of Night is no different. In fact, I think from memory that Born of Night was the first Sherrilyn Kenyon book I ever tried. I pretty much read all of her (then) available books back to back to back over a series of months and had a newfound love of all things vampire, gods and monsters. Born of Night is the story of how a deadly assassin
2.5I wish I'd read this when it was first published (and I hadn't been paying attention to certain things). I would have liked it more than I do now. With that out of the way, if you aren't in the mood for a sci-fi paranormal romance featuring a very tortured hero and one of the most annoying heroines ever, I suggest you skip this. Since I was, you could say I kind of liked it. The first half of the story at least. I like this idea of the Ichidian Universe, where a small group of former
5 Stars Nykyrian Quikiades is the man behind the Nemesis mask, a name that strikes fear to the hearts of the most hardened criminals. A fugitive from the League, with contracts for his assassination from several planets goverments, Nykyrian is a man fighting a war against an organisation that has grown too corrupt to dispense the justice and protection it was founded for. His latest responsibility is protecting Princess Kiara Zamir, a woman caught in the middle of her father's political
Here are some taglines that would be really great to put on the back cover of this book:"Troubled ex-assassin Nykyrian takes on his most difficult assignment ever - to protect the Princess Kiara from the universe's most deadly killers. But when things turn personal, Nykyrian finds that saving Kiara may mean facing the one enemy he fears most of all - love."Or: "Like Twilight, but dumber and dirtier!"Maybe I should say first that this was a new genre for me. One time I wrote a negative review of
