Mencheres and Kira are a perfect match she allows the kindness and generosity he long ago buried to shine. Kira is a wonderful character: smart, independent, kind, spunky, and everything I love about a PNR/UF heroine. Right from the start, I throughly enjoyed Eternal Kiss of Darkness. What he doesn’t count on is feeling something for her – the first woman to effect him in nearly 3,000 years. However, once it’s apparent that she’s seen too much and he can’t wipe her mind of the events, Mencheres must take Kira with him until he can figure out how to make her forget what she knows. That is until Kira accidentally discovers the beat down and tries to save Mencheres. Tired of this feud and ready to end his life, Mencheres thinks the best thing for his people and Bones is to die, so he allows a group of ghouls to kill him.

We also learn that Mencheres has been in a millennia-old feud with a fellow Egyptian vampire, who feels Mencheres received the gifts of power that should have been his. In a previous book, we learned that Mencheres lost his ability to see visions of the future, but what we didn’t know until now, is that he sees the endless darkness of death. I enjoyed my re-read tremendously, and found my original thoughts on the book hold up.Įternal Kiss of Darkness centers on Bones’s co-ruler and grandsire, the powerful Mencheres. Eternal Kiss of Darkness is one of two standalone romances that feature supporting characters and an HEA. I listened to the Night Huntress books back circa 2015 and enjoyed them. I am excited to participate in Anne’s Read-along again this year.
