This is one dark paranormal. I loved that about this book.
Readers get to see an extremely dark side of vampirism up close and personal
right from the vamps point of view. I also liked the first person telling of
this story. The point of view went from Alexander and Katherine, but always in
first person. The author does a wonderful job of switching point of view
between the character and the reader is never left wonder which characters
point of view is being told.
Detective Katherine Well’s newest case leads her into the
arms of one sexy vamp. Little does she know that her new love interest will
also turn into her prime suspect. Alexander has been feeding from humans for
over a thousand years. He enjoys the hunt that comes with procuring his meal.
To prevent his meals from coming back to life as a vampire he must also kill
them. Really it’s not murder, it’s just daily vamp life.
Alexander quite possibly is the darkest, broodiest, most violent
vampire as a hero that I have ever read. He is one violent vamp. I liked this
about his character. He goes on a violent killing and tortures the people who
posed a threat to Katherine. He was vicious in his methods. I liked this about
his character. I originally read a character interview with Alexander. I
thought to myself what an arrogant ass of a vamp, I must read him.
Katherine is too over the top with her numerous
contradictions. The one that had me rolling my eyes at the book too often was
her thoughts on her appearance. Apparently every man alive sees her fantastic
breasts, fabulous legs, gorgeous body, but she doesn’t see herself this way,
but she also has this inner dialogue with herself about how every man sees her.
She is also a cop that jumps over to the dark side very easily, little thought
to the consequences, and oh so quickly. She loves Alexander and it will all be
okay!
The big surprise for me with Dark is the Night was the sex scenes. I knew I was going to read a
romance. There is romance, there is love and then there is the eroticism of the
sex in this book. Wow there is a ton of hotness in between these pages. Once
Katherine meets Alexander she can’t seem to focus on anything other than his
cock. In his presence she goes directly to hot and bothered and horny. There
are numerous extremely hot sex scenes in this book. Chase writes some wickedly
hot sex.
Overall this book was okay. I’m glad that I read it. I’m
also glad I didn’t pay for it. The darkness that is Alexander and the erotic
sex scenes are reason enough to read this book as far as I’m concerned. I was
not wowed by their love story. The murder investigation that brought Alexander
and Katherine together to begin with is mildly interesting. This vampire world
and how it works seems like it could become problematic with the number of
deaths that come from it.
