Night's Kiss (The Ancients Book 2) Kindle Edition
As a human who hunts vampires, I risk death each night I take to the streets. Bloodsuckers are stupidly fast. I have only my wits, my practice, and my weapons.
Oh yeah, and my rage.
Vampires killed my parents before my eyes when I was young. My revenge? I'll destroy every last one of the evil bastards, starting with their king.
But only one man can help me locate the king. Achingly tall, dark, and too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Ryker is gorgeous enough to be the vamp king himself. But the devilish arch to his black eyebrow, his white, unfangy grin, and rocking the daytime are good clues that he's human.
We’ll have to work together as uneasy allies if I hope to get my final revenge on the king—only now it seems evil monsters are also after our prey, and they’ll stop at nothing to see us all dead. And why are they having so much trouble finding the king?

- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2025Keeping us in the same universe while following the same story with different characters is a lovely way to keep the drama going without the main couple being toxic to one another. A new female lead with a different personality makes the writing feel fresh while still being immersed in the same world. What a wonderful sequel! I can't wait to read number 3!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019Kat is a human who hunts vampires, risking death with only her wits, practice, her weapons and her rage in her quest to avenge her parents by destroying every last one of the evil bloodsuckers – starting with their king. Ryker is gorgeous enough to the be the vamp king himself but the devilish arch to his back eyebrow, white unfangy grin and the rocking daytime are good clues that he’s human. He’s the only man that can help Kat locate the king, so she forms an uneasy alliance with him only for them to discover that evil monster are also after their prey…oh and also want Kat and Ryker dead.
The second book in ‘Ancients Series’ is an energetic, thrilling and exciting read full of flying sparks and adrenaline pumping danger. The characters are strong, daring and demand the readers’ attention right from the start and the chemistry between Kat and Ryker sizzles with bright electrical current creating lots of flying sparks to singe the pages as Kat fights their magnetic attraction with some feisty snark and tough as nails attitude. This relationship is balanced on a razor wire that keeps the hero, heroine and the readers on edge throughout as Kay and Ryker, each have the same mission but the their goals are vastly different.
The plot is fast paced with non-stop excitement whether that excitement is coming from clashes between Kat and Ryker, Kat and her long lost family, Kat and her targets, Ryker and the Alliance, or Kat, Ryker and the monsters. With so much action and excitement flowing from the pages, there is never a dull moment to be found and the romance is one where the hero and heroine are the last to know.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021Ryker meets Kat on the streets of Meiers Corner killing a rouge vampire. He gives her a slight assist. Then learns she is looking for the vampire king to destroy him. He can’t let her do that. He learns why she wants to destroy him and asks her if she thinks a vampire could be a good one. Her answer is no. Can Kat be convinced that there are some good vampires out there? Will she get her revenge?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2021A Fantastic journey that this author leaves you wanting more and more and more! Each book has fully developed characters you learn to live their faults, doubts and insecurities. And leaves you reveling in their victories not as a solo victor but as a team victory!! Mary Hughes weaves great stories!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019As I haven't written about one in a while, you may not know how much I do love me some Vamps. Mmm, mmm, mmm! So given the opportunity to read Night's Kiss, I jumped at the chance. Once I began reading it, I couldn't decide if I'd made the right choice. Let me explain.
Kat is the second heroine in a short period of time that has rubbed me the wrong way for most of the book. I loved her tough-as-nails, can-do attitude and understood her pain from her childhood trauma caused her to be a Vamp killer not a Vamp lover (like me! {cheesy grin}). But the repetitious factors about her arsenal of weapons, her snotty, bratty behavior toward Ryker for a good while, well, it just got old.
Ryker, on the other hand, I immediately fell for. What's not to love, right? His looks, his abilities, his attitude...just downright yummy! The repartee between Kat and Ryker had some delicious moments and yes, a romance blossomed that no one in the book expected so that also was something totally on the plus side for me. In the end, I did love NIGHT'S KISS and was glad I read it. If you like angsty, sassy females who are tough-as-nails with hot, gorgeous Vamp males working together, even if it is to go after Vamps all wrapped up in a HEA/HFN romance, get a copy of NIGHT'S KISS today!

I received this ARC copy of Night's Kiss from Entangled Publishing, LLC - Entangled: Amara. This is my honest and voluntary review.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019What a wonderful story! I enjoyed reading it so much that it only took me 1 day! It was hard to hide that long but I just could t out this book down! I love love Meiers Corners and all who inhabit it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020Kat hunts vampires, she is on a vendetta to destroy all vampires starting with the King, the one she blames for killing her parents.
Ryker is searching for the vampire King and Kat’s only chance at finding him too. It’s a wary truce, since Ryker is looking to help save the King and Kate wants to kill him but they team up to accomplish their goals. They are hunting while something is hunting them. Of course, attraction ensues and adversaries become lovers along the way.
The story is fast paced and has lots of action. Night’s Kiss had everything I should have loved in a paranormal romance and here comes the but… But, I didn’t connect with the characters or their plight. I also wasn’t feeling the connection between Kate and Ryker with all their baggage brought into the plot. In the end, this was an okay read for me. I liked it, it was entertaining, it just didn’t hit the wow factor for me.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019This story was great. I love Meiers Corners. Can't wait for the Elias story. And whoever named Kat's weapons did a great job. Loved bubby too.
