This was a really great book and an excellent first in a series.The author has written a tight book, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you enthralled. I really liked the two main characters, both who have alot of emotional baggage. The fact that these two are thrown together is intresting as both acknowledge the fact that they are no good for eaxh other. The relationahip starts as purely sexual and progresses into something more. both parties tey to deny this connection at first, each forSynopsisFor centuries war raged between the humans and Aeternus vampiresuntil courageous efforts on both sides forged a fragile peace.But the rogue Necrodreniacs will never be controlledaddicted as they are to the death-high and bloody chaos.Since witnessing the murder of her mother, Antoinette Petrescu has burned with fiery hatred for the vampire raceeven for Christian Laroque, the noble, dangerously handsome Aeternus who rescued her.

This is Tracey O'Hara's debut urban fantasy tale about a highly skilled (blonde and beautiful) bounty hunter named Antoinette, who captures and destroys parahuman outlaws. She reluctantly teams up with two vampires to draw out a diabolical killer. She becomes attracted to a vampire named Christian, whom she loathes at first. O'Hara tells a sexy tale incorporating vampires, shapeshifters, mer-people, vampires and magic-wielders. She provides a glossary to explain the complicated terms so it's
When I held Night's Cold Kiss in my hands for the first time I was immediately impressed. The book looks impressive and when I started to skim through it I discovered the Glossary at the end. I thought wow that really looks like some serious world-building and the book didn't disappoint in that department. But let's start at the beginning.We are thrown in the middle of a world full of paranormal creatures living in a more or less peaceful coexistence with the human population. There are
So I picked up this book with no expectations, it had mixed reviews but I figured I'd give it a shot. The first few pages describe Antoinette, and to a lesser degree her brother Nici, on a mission. Antoinette is a Venator, meaning she is part of a group of humans hunting a type of creature called dreniacs. Supposedly from the opening and the blurb on the back I understood there's good vampires and bad vampires with the dreniacs being the 'bad' ones and a group called the Aeternus are the 'good'
if ever there was an explosion that started the universe I think it would look something like the start of this debut story from Tracey OHara.HUGE start, that just doesnt stop. Nights Cold Kiss is an adrenaline filled rollercoaster that had me in tears by page 50, hot under the collar by page 30 and my heart racing by page 10.My only problem was the new terms for vampires. Particularly as these were introduced in the first few pages without any real explanation as to what they were. So the new
I really liked this book. It is different from what is out there and on the darker side. I enjoyed all the different species and all the family connects that played out. What I think the author did really great was the world building. This book was pretty extensive in what it laid out for the rules and what was going on in it. So often times with a book like this all you get is info dump, little story, info dump, little story, more info dump, but for the most part the info that was needed to
