Dark Thrilling Conclusion to the "Kynn" Stories

As a short review, the Kynn are a vampire species who not only require human blood to continue existing, they require sexual energy to reinvigorate their bodies. They are not fanged vampires, they use a blade or some type of sharp instrument to cut their donors to feed prior to sex. The `Kynn' have developed a society within the occult world and have learned to peacefully coexist with humanity. They do not murder their donors and leave devastation in their wake. In fact, the Kynn use a willing group of humans who provide for them. They do however have enemies in the `Amhais', who are vampire hunters and Devon Carnavorn lost his first great love and maker `Ariel' at their hands a century previous to his story in "Sins of the Flesh". Sins of the Night In 1906, Adrien Roth believed he was soon to be a dead man. Shackled to a bed, weak from hunger and thirst, he was fearful not of death but what may come next. Enter, Devon Carnavorn full of hatred toward the Amhais that killed his beloved Ariel. He plans not to execute Roth, but to teach him a lesson he will never, ever forget. Devon has enlisted Ariel's sister Lilith, a depraved bloodthirsty creature, who has been "having her way" with Adrien for days. What is different on this night is that Adrien, a once proud member of the Amhais is turned into what he hates, Kynn, against his will. Fast forward to present day, Adrien lives a meager existence, renting a ramshackle but clean house where he stays with his cat "Gisele" (Gizzy). He rides a broken down Harley motorcycle and does not care about `material' things. Adrien has no room for a lover in his life. His plan for vengeance is what keeps him focused on a singular path to Devon Carnavorn, the `creature' that captured and left him in the hands of Lilith who subjected him to 30 years of terror. As a reader, I felt quite sorry for Adrien at the beginning of the book, he was a very lonely, isolated soul who absolutely hated what he was. That is until he intervenes to rescue "damsel in severe distress", Cassie Wilson during the wee hours of the morning in a isolated park where she is being brutalized by her soon to be ex-boyfriend. Cassie is an extremely wealthy beautiful woman from old money who lives alone in a mansion on a hill. She has been married five times and taken advantage of because of her wealth. She also has a dark secret, which she shares with no one. I really liked Cassie, she is brassy, speaks her mind and very comfortable with her own sexuality. Inexplicably drawn to Adrien, she tracks him down after her `rescue' and ingratiates herself into his life. Their sexual attraction is instantaneous and explosive. Despite his resolve not to let anyone into his life or heart, Adrien cannot deny her. There is a m/m/f ménage scene integrated in the storyline involving Adrien, but it is part of a dream sequence and is extremely well written. Meanwhile Devon is now married to Rachel, his love and `she-shay' or soul mate. Rachel is in the fina

Sins of the Night

Adrien Roth wants vengeance. He wants compensation. He wants Devon Carnavorn and his family annihilated from the face of this Earth. And he is the vampire to do such a foul deed, after all, Devon is the reason he is now a Kinn instead of a Shadow Stalker. A century ago, Adrien was caught and imprisoned by Devon and his lover and turned against his will. Nothing and no one is going to stop his revenge and his revenge is so near he can taste it, until he comes face to face with a mortal named Cassie Wilson. Cassie gives Adrien a new outlook on life and makes him question his quest for Devon's demise. Cassie Wilson is rich and beautiful, just not lucky in love. When her latest boyfriend roughs her up when she refuses him a loan, her rescuer comes in the form of Adrien Roth. Adrien is sinfully handsome and in Cassie's mind, drool worthy. She isn't looking for forever, that isn't going to happen - the doctors have told her so. But she is looking for right now and strives to bend Adrien to her will. Her hard work pays off and their passion knows no bounds. When the smoke clears, Cassie and Adrien find themselves in a predicament. It seems that the man who never wanted past one night now wants forever; the one thing Cassie is unable to give him. Or is she? The warning on the back of Sins of the Night states, "WARNING! This is a really hot book." They weren't lying. Adrien Roth was sensual enough that even I wanted to be his lover. I understood his need for revenge but I also wanted him to have a mate that loved him and that mate was Cassie, no matter that she was a human. Life had dealt both of these characters a hand of cards that they weren't all that thrilled to have but I like how each took charge and lived each and every moment. Sins of the Night is the second book of the Kith & Kinn series and is connected to Sins of the Flesh. I haven't read Sins of the Flesh yet but this did not matter in the least. I was able to enjoy Sins of the Night completely. Sins of the Night was erotic, dark, and captivating. I didn't put it down and Devyn Quinn is now on my author radar!

exciting fantasy thriller

A century ago Adrien Roth was proud to be a Shadow Stalker who destroyed the Kynn. However, he failed at his task when he was captured by his enemy. They tortured him and he became one of them, a vampire who used sex with mortals as sustenance. Loathing himself he plans to destroy Kynn chieftain Devon Carnavorn and the vampire's new wife Rachel in what the former Shadow Stalker knows is probably a suicide mission. However, as he begins his quest, Adrien meets human Cassie Wilson, who somehow reinvigorates the soul he thought the Kynn killed when they brutalized and changed him. As they fall in love, he wants to come out of her shadows into the light of her warmth, but obstinately refuses to give up his quest for vengeance as he targets the Mystique Goth nightclub in Warren, California. This exciting fantasy thriller returns the lead characters of SINS OF THE DEVIL, but this time they are the objectives of the lead male who sees them as his revenge and redemption. The story line is character driven as Adrien, already feeling somewhat schizoid between his former occupation and his current status, struggles with the thirst for bloody vengeance and love. Although some of the erotic scenes will turn off some readers especially when violent force is applied to a disinclined individual who says no. Devyn Quinn provides an interesting erotic vampire romantic suspense as fans will wonder whether Devon chooses Cassie or suicide. Harriet Klausner
