With its courageous, unconventional characters and wry humor, this fast-moving fantasy will fill the void left by the end of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series. Fortunately, an abundance of hot sex and snappy dialogue keep the plot both accessible and appealing. Taking place during Mardi Gras, the story is complex, involving not just Daimons and Dark-Hunters but equally untraditional werewolves, were-hunters and Greek/Celtic gods, whose involvement in Talon and Sunshine's mysterious relationship stretches back thousands of years. Other traditional vampire nemeses like mirrors pose no threat to these post-vampires, but a rule forbidding Dark-Hunters from having more than a one-night stand does, especially when Talon finds himself falling in love with human artist Sunshine Runningwolf. Dark-Hunters like the novel's leather-wearing, biker stud Talon protect humans from the soul-suckers. The evil Daimons only do so to amuse themselves before consuming their primary sustenance: human souls. These new millennium models are gorgeous, Goth rocker–looking immortals who don't necessarily drink blood. With her steamy, action-packed Dark-Hunter novels, Kenyon ( Night Pleasures, etc.) is ushering in a whole different class of night dwellers.
Say goodbye to the garlic-hating, crucifix-fearing vampires of old.
