I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book and I was extremely disappointed that it turned out to be scifi so I didn't get past the first chapter. And then after several other series later I decided that I must finish Born of Night because I just can't leave a book unfinished. Well to my delight I absolutely LOVE this book. I fell in love with Nykyrian and was thrilled that he "got the girl". Kenyon really knows how to tell a story and now she's one of my favorites. Please expand on this series!! ( )

I really enjoyed Born of Night. Sherrilyn Kenyon put forth a great story here. I found it extremely hard to put down and practically read it straight through. The Ichidian Universe is fascinating and full of danger and intrigue. The characters are full and complex with strengths and weaknesses that make them completely realistic...even if some of them are not human. ( )

Nykyrian is an expert assassin; Kiara a famous dancer. They are thrown together by their enemies and some how end up falling in love.

I have to say first off that this is not my genre. I love a good romance but, futuristic romance is just not my thing. That being said, I actually read this book until the end, which for me is a huge fete since I usually will stop reading after the first few chapters once I realize I am not into it. As a book reviewer though, I am learning to give everything a fair chance. This story wasn't too bad, the characters are wonderful and there is a good balance between the romance and the sci fi. There were some parts I had to force myself through but others I could not stop reading. I read this whole book in one sitting, it took me roughly 6 hours. Not bad.

Overall this book isn't for me but if you enjoy this genre, I firmly believe you will love this book whole-heartedly. I do have to admit, since the next book features Syn as the main character I might have to read it, because he was a good comic relief in this book. We shall see.
