A true Mary Hughes story that was a little bit dark, a little bit amusing and a whole lot of fun to read. ~ Kitty – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Synopsis:
As a human who hunts vampires, I risk death each night I take to the streets. Bloodsuckers are stupidly fast. I have only my wits, my practice, and my weapons. Oh yeah, and my rage. Vampires killed my parents before my eyes when I was young. My revenge? I’ll destroy every last one of the evil bastards, starting with their king. But only one man can help me locate the king. Achingly tall, dark, and too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Ryker is gorgeous enough to be the vamp king himself. But the devilish arch to his black eyebrow, his white, unfangy grin, and rocking the daytime are good clues that he’s human. We’ll have to work together as uneasy allies if I hope to get my final revenge on the king—only now it seems evil monsters are also after our prey, and they’ll stop at nothing to see us all dead. And why are they having so much trouble finding the king?
So, I was a little surprised with Night’s Kiss. We were back in Meier’s Corners but with a woman who 
truly hated vampires. Hmmm, where was this going? Why would Mary Hughes make me work for a happy ending? Well, I got my answers with a couple of surprises.
Kat. Well Kat was really kind of annoying. She was always right. She always wanted to work alone. She didn’t trust anyone but her sister. And, she was driven by revenge. When faced with the truth about who she is and where she came from, she just rejects it all. She. Hates. Vampires. And, she makes sure everyone knows it. But, there is something about Ryker and his personality. She trusts him then she doesn’t. But, she’s doing the same thing that she accuses him of … keeping clues away from him. Until the time comes where she can’t anymore and she not only gets the surprise of her life but finds out that she fell in love with the one thing she hates the most in the world. VAMPIRE.
Ryker was kind of funny. Well, the characters he played were. Until it was time to get serious and find the King of the Vampires. Yes, he is keeping things away from Kat. He knows that if she knows the truth, she’ll hate him. He will do whatever he has to do to find Elias, he’ll keep her safe and then he will walk away. He was never meant to find his mate. But, Kat surprises him, she intrigues him and he can’t control her. Now what does he do? I always enjoy Mary Hughes’ stories, her characters, her imagination. It takes a lot of creative thinking to come up with paranormal stories that have drama, humor and love. And, she worked really hard and had to get very inventive for me to like Kat in the end. But, she did it. What she did to Elias was really surprising and, sorry, funny. Hopefully he’ll be his old, confusing and demanding self again. She surrounded Kat with characters we love and then gave us Ryker to love as well.
A true Mary Hughes story that was a little bit dark, a little bit amusing and a whole lot of fun to read.
