Description
Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter--he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superseding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian--Val's mortal enemy.) What show more Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires, and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons--one who's managed to come back from the dead, and holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts, in Seize the Night by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon. show lessTags

I have been hooked on Kenyon's Dark-Hunters since book one. And after a dozen or so books, this entry is still my all-time favorite. Each of the hunters is something of an outcast/rebel. Valerius stands out because he's an outcast even among Dark Hunters - he's a Roman and the mostly ancient Greek hunters hate him. In particular Kyrian, who was betrayed and murdered by Valerius' own father, and Zarek who was abused by the same man. Further, "Val" comes off as a sanctimonious prick. Yet, Tabitha will discover a man of honor and deep feelings beneath that mask. But, their romance faces obstacles beyond daemons and reclaiming his soul - her sister and family.
This story sucked me in even more than all the others. I could not put it down and show more have re-read it many times. The entire series is wonderful, with rich mythology and complex characters. Highly recommended! show less

Seize the Night was another very good installment in the Dark-Hunter series, but it started off a little slow for me. Sherrilyn Kenyon seems to have a habit of throwing her heroes and heroines together – in bed – a little too soon for my taste. Every once in a while it works for me depending on how it is written. However, most of the time I find myself wanting a little more relationship development, and Seize the Night was not an exception. I just had a hard time buying the sudden attraction between Valerius and Tabitha in the early parts of the book which is why it dragged just a bit for me. I can't say that I was truly sucked in until a pivotal scene involving Acheron occurred about halfway into the book. After that I was pretty show more well hooked, not only because the action ramped up, but also because that event brought Valerius and Tabitha closer together and they started getting to know one another better. As I've mentioned in other reviews, the ending of a book can make or break it, and in this case, a sweet ending preceded by an emotional, nail-biting climax that included some intense events that I totally did not see coming and that brought some tears to my eyes, made me bump this one up to keeper status. With unexpected deaths (no, not everyone makes it out of this one alive), the life of at least one character dramatically and irrevocably changed (although other characters were deeply affected too), and Acheron finally revealing his true nature, Seize the Night was definitely a not-to-be-missed book that included some critical alterations of the Dark-Hunter world.
I really enjoyed Valerius as the hero, and at this point in the series, I'd say he is my fourth favorite Dark-Hunter hero. Valerius is so proper and uptight that it's actually kind of cute, almost like he's from another planet in the beginning, but underneath that reserved exterior, beats a very sensitive and passionate heart that was just waiting for someone like Tabitha to unleash it. I love how he releases all that passion just for her and is able to feel so free in her presence. It was so sad to read about how Valerius's family had treated him during his human life. He may not have been perfect, but he never did anything to deserve their wrath in the past or the loathing of his fellow Dark-Hunters, the Squires and even their human friends in the present. I kind of felt like that part of the story was a little overblown, because even in the previous books, I never disliked him except for when I thought he was the same Valerius who had tortured Kyrian in Night Pleasure. If memory serves though, it was revealed in the very next book that it was his grandfather who happened to have the same name, and not Valerius himself, who had done the torturing. That fact was common knowledge to all the characters, so I couldn't help being rather disappointed in Zarek and Kyrain (as well as the others) for holding a major grudge against Valerius for two millennium for things that his family did or that they merely thought he did. I guess they made up for it in the end, but at the time, their hatred seemed rather irrational and unbelievable.
Tabitha was a very interesting character. She was a kick-butt heroine who was as good as some Dark-Hunters when it came to fighting Daimons. She has a feisty personality to boot, but underneath her tough surface, she is an empath with a softer side which I could relate to. She definitely marched to the beat of her own drummer, and I could understand her feeling like a freakish outcast. Her feeding the homeless and all the thoughtful little things she did for Valerius may have been small acts of kindness, in and of themselves, but I thought they spoke volumes as to her character. However (and I feel kind of bad admitting this since it was something her ex-boyfriend said which hurt her), but Tabitha is the type of person who in real-life would probably exhaust me and occasionally she did in the story too. She had this wild, almost manic, personality that was just a little overwhelming for me. At times, I thought she was a bit too brazen, but at the same time, I could see how she was good for Valerius, bringing out his passionate side and showing him what it meant to laugh and have fun. I had mixed feelings about how often she defended him in the early chapters. On the one hand, I liked that she was willing to take up the defense of a man who had done nothing wrong, but on the other hand, her forwardness sometimes made it seems like he was unwilling or unable to defend himself, although I know wasn't the case. Most of all, I just liked that Tabitha unequivocally believed in Valerius's innate decency and was able to see the truth when no one else could.
As with all the books in this series there are lots of secondary characters, but I have to commend Sherrilyn Kenyon for once again, utilizing a number of characters who were already on the canvas rather than creating a plethora of new ones. As always, Acheron was back, and as I mentioned earlier, he had some really amazing scenes (not that his scenes aren't always amazing, but these were particularly good;-)). Of course, Ash wouldn't be complete without his little demon side-kick, Simi, who along with the mischievous squire, Nick, managed to do something very surprising which raised Ash's ire and propelled some of the later events in the story. One of my minor complaints about Zarek's book, Dance with the Devil, had been that his act of vengeance was never revealed, so I was happy that it was finally explained in Seize the Night. Other major characters from past books who put in appearances: Julian (Fantasy Lover), Kyrian and Amanda (Night Pleasures), Talon (Night Embrace), Astrid (Dance with the Devil), Vane and Bride (Night Play), Stryker (he appeared previously and has his own book, One Silent Night, later in the series), Tabitha and Amanda's sister, Selena and her husband Bill who show up in nearly every book, and of course, the goddess, Artemis who lives to torment Ash. Surprisingly, there were no new characters from future books introduced except for one brief mention of Alexion (Sins of the Night). I originally thought that the intriguing Katra, was a new character, but after re-reading my review of Kiss of the Night, I realized she played a significant role in that book as Cassandra's bodyguard and a handmaiden of Artemis. I remember liking her pretty well, but that things ended rather ambiguously for her. In Seize the Night, I liked her even better, but her appearance was very short-lived. It seems that she is still serving Artemis, and has also been loving Ash from afar for a very long time, although I don't remember anything of that nature in Kiss of the Night. She made such an impression on me in this book though that I initially thought perhaps she might become Ash's heroine, but it seems I might be mistaken. I do look forward to finding out more about what and who she is though.
As with most of the other books in the series there were a few minor annoyances that kept it from being a perfect read. The author slips back and forth between character points of view within the same scene. I'm not sure if this is something she's done in her other books and I just didn't notice, but I did notice it this time and felt that it was a bit confusing and jarring at times. I think that for the most part, I prefer when an author sticks with one character's perspective throughout a scene. Sherrilyn Kenyon is definitely into obscure pop-culture and there was one passage of dialog that I thought used these references a bit too liberally. Only a certain sub-set of the population would probably even get it. She also, in my opinion, way overused the phrases, "What?," "Excuse Me?,"and “I Beg Your Pardon?" and when they came from Valerius, that sort of vernacular seemed particularly odd and out of character. Lastly, there were times when I thought she used too many “be” verbs, doing a bit more telling than showing. In the end though, I was mostly able to set aside these issues and give Ms. Kenyon credit for a very nice piece of story-telling that has me looking forward to continuing the Dark-Hunter series to see what's in store next. Seize the Night is book #6 in the series. There are currently a total of 19 full-length novels in the Dark-Hunter series and quite a number of related novellas and graphic novels as well, with more still to come.

Gosh darn it I just love these books. Sure they may be super cheesy at times and most of the time the endings are completely unbelievable. But even so, Sherrilyn Kenyon just knows how to write a fantastic paranormal romance. She just does. Heroes (and heroines) you can easily love, lots of action, a conflict that's actually interesting, and steaminess too hot to hold. It's all there.
In this one we have Valerius and Tabitha. Poor sweet, unwanted and shunned Valerius. Like his brother Zarek, he's definitely not very popular among the Dark-Hunters. I don't know what it is about the tortured reject bad boys. But I love them the mostest. When we first meet Val in the previous books he seems pretty cold and stand-offish. But as we get to know show more him through Tabitha's eyes he just makes your heart melt. He's such a sweetheart and he's never had a chance to really embrace that side of himself. This is what awesome PNRs are made of people. Tortured heroes who are gradually expelled from their shell by a worthy woman. Does it get any better? I think not.
As for Tabitha. Loved this chick. She's awesome. Strong, kind, funny, and teasingly adorable. Poor Val didn't stand a chance against her. He was bound to fall fast and hard. Hell, even I did. Although I have surprisingly liked most of the Dark-Hunter females thus far, Tabitha is probably my favorite. Of course, I'm sure that'll change with every new book I read in this series. But even so. That's what I love about these books too. Sometimes heroines can be hit or miss in PNRs. Sometimes they're too whiny and insecure or on the opposite end of the spectrum, too full of themselves. But Kenyon knows just the right mixture and she does it perfectly.
But what made this book more special from the other Dark-Hunter novels so far is the action. To me this one just seemed more fast-paced than the others were. Don't get me wrong, once we get down to the conflict in any of these novels, it's pretty good. But in this one I just felt more on the edge of my seat. Some of the things that happened in this one...Wowzers. Can't wait to see what comes of some of it. Of course a few pretty unbelievable eye-roll-worthy things happened at the end. But I was still happy for them anyways.
Overall, this is just a fun series and I'm having so much fun reading it. I'm actually kind of glad that I've been pacing myself with this series too because I still have so much more to look forward to. Also whenever I read another new PNR that I'm not a big fan of, this one reminds me that I'm still a PNR fan, but not all writers have the good stuff when it comes to this genre. I don't think the really good PNR authors get enough credit sometimes. It takes a special blend to get it just right, and the Dark-Hunter series by the lovely Sherrilyn Kenyon definitely has the recipe down pat.

It feels like its been a long time since Kenyon has managed to grab my attention so much with one of her Dark Hunter books. This one immediately shot up to one of my favorites in the series. I loved Valerius and his staunch ways. It was fun to watch Tabitha shake him up a bit and him calm her down. The only thing that annoyed me in the story was Ash and Simi. Simi just annoys the crap out of me. As for Ash, I used to adore him but it feels like as the the series progresses his scenes get more and more fan-girlish. And by that I mean that it feels like I'm reading a piece of bad Ash fanfiction when he pops up. I hear that his book is fantastic though, so I'll eventually be picking that up.
Not only fast-paced and filled with action, Seize the Night is funny and most definitely touching. It's an amazing story where the plot is interesting, unpredictable and even tragic, the culmination most waited and desired, and both lead characters likable.
The way Valerius and Tabitha achieved their happily-ever-after was a bit predictable, I admit, but that was the only bone I could pick with Seize the Night. Everything else simply blew me away. The romance between them was not rushed, had the time to develop not jumping from attraction to eternal love over night.
It was an experience to watch their relationship bloom. I had chills every time Tabitha breached Val's cool exterior and exposed his inner world. And his wounded heart moved show more me immensely.
Valerius was a true hero and a gentleman to the core with style and sophistication. Not another leather clad he-man. Most importantly he was a sensitive and gentle person, even if hiding himself under the snobbish, cold exterior, the one I desperately wanted to cuddle. My heart cried for him, fumed for the injustice done to him and admired the strength and courage he possessed. And of course, his ability to treat Tabitha as an equal respecting her fighting abilities. To stand alongside her and not try to impose his will on her by forcing her to run and hide every time they faced danger (even though it was hard for him).
Tabitha was also a true heroine. Strong and funny, she was exactly what he needed. They seemed utterly incompatible and yet, they completed each other perfectly. I loved secondary characters (Acheron in particular, can't wait for his story) and the sub-plots.
Seize the Night dangerous, passionate, sometimes deadly and definitely breathtaking.

Ah,the book where everything changes in the world of DH. Val and Tabby are one of my favorite couples in the DH universe. Val's self imposed isolation is heartbreaking for different reasons than some of the other DH. His fear of hurting anyone he tried to help is heart wrenching. Tabitha has been a favorite of mine from the start. I love how we see her in a different light here. And the BIG explosions here are Katra, Simi, and Nick. The series took a turn here that will reverberate for a long time. Love It!
Synopsis: Seize the Night is the 6th novel in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters series. Valerius is an ancient Roman who comes from a REALLY bad family. He's another hero who nobody much likes. He's closely related to the guy who tortured and killed Kyrian 2,000 years ago (Kyrian is the hero in Night Pleasures). There's also no love lost between him and Zarek (the hero of Dance With the Devil), whose past is also interlaced with his. And it really doesn't help that Valerius has a kind of a holier-than-thou attitude that gets on EVERYBODY'S nerves. So, of course, he's paired up with Tabitha, the fun-loving vampire-hunting goth-chick human twin sister of Amanda from Night Pleasures. They are thrown together one night when he happens upon show more Tabitha kicking some Daimon ass in an alley and she gets carried away and stabs him in the chest. Fortunately, he's immortal and doesn't die, but she does end up letting him hole up at her place for a bit while he recovers. He finds her in-your-face earthiness and lifestyle (read: she owns a sex shop, has a transvestite roommate, and fights soul-sucking Daimons by night) to be offensive to his higher sensibilities. But in the end, he comes to love her anyway - and also learns to lighten up a bit.
SO MUCH happens in this novel. By the time you get to the last 80 pages or so, you will not be able to put it down. Things happen in this book that dramatically impact the rest of the series as a whole. AND you get a great romance to boot! This is one of my favorites in the series. Tabitha is such a marvelous character. In the hands of a lesser author, she could easily come across as abrasive, obnoxious, and wholly unfeminine. But Kenyon does an outstanding job of making her tough, funny, and just vulnerable enough that you can't help but love her. And that is exactly why the romance is so believable in this book. Valerius is kind of a stuffed-shirt, but he has such a sad past and you really do want him to have a chance at happiness. And you also see how, deep down, he really does want to be loved by someone - and has love to give in return. The author really does know how to take a character who's such a jerk with loads of flaws and turn him around to make the reader root for him anyway. I love that kind of redemption. show less
