After reading the reviews below, I was eager to delve into these stories by Kenyon. Boy was I led down the alley of disappointment. When in the first few pages the heroine in a perilous situation said "Wake up yummy leather guy" I should have put the book down. Unfortunately I suffered through the entire book in the hopes that the characters would improve. I liked some of the mythos Kenyon created, but her character are almost all idiotic, self-important, over sexed, and have the intuition of a rock.In a nutshell if you like your hero's brooding and stupid and your heroine's dingy but indignant then these are the books for you.
