Night Huntress World Book 2: Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost

Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, #2)
Night Huntress World Book 2
An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness . . . And now one woman has stumbled into the shadows. 

Chicago private investigator Kira Graceling should have just kept on walking. But her sense of duty refused to let her ignore the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse just before dawn. Suddenly she finds herself in a world she's only imagined in her worst nightmares.

At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appears, this fearless, beautiful . . . human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

But with danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves, or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I finally get to Mencheres' story and the guy at lasts, gets a happy ending. Mencheres has always appeared as this very old vampire, who carried a sense of sadness to him every time he appeared. He has always tried to protect those he cares about, even when it may make them angry with him. When the book began you could tell how tired he was. That everything he had done in previous books (combining his line with Bones, the ending of his visions, securing their protection), he was pretty done with this life. That is until Kira comes along. She saves him in more ways than one. And sparks life back into him (or at least as much life as one can get from the undead). Kira and Mencheres were a very good match for one another, sharing similar experiences despite the huge age difference. Their enemy in this book was different than what we have seen in the past. We got a closer look at the Law Guardians, and how even the supernatural world can have a corrupt justice system. Great book. I look forward to reading more about these two particular characters.
