In Born of Night, #1 bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon pulls out all the stops as she takes us into the darkly thrilling Ichidian Universe, where the League rules with an iron fist and enforces its laws through fear and assassination.
Once an assassin for the League, Nykyrian—a.k.a. Nemesis—is a walking weapon, and as his enemies have learned, to fight him is to die. But he has one weakness: the princess Kiara. He has admired her for years, but only from afar…until he’s hired to be her protector. Suddenly, thrown into close proximity with the woman of his dreams, his equilibrium is shot, and his cold-hearted professionalism is overcome by hot-blooded desires.
Being guarded by an assassin is no picnic, especially when the man protecting you is cut from the same cloth as the beast who killed your mother. And yet, being with Nemesis also affects Kiara in unexpected ways, and she finds herself fighting against her growing attraction for the assassin…and failing. Now, consumed by passion and hunted by the galaxy’s deadliest killers, princess and assassin find themselves in the fight of their lives, one in which love is both their greatest weakness…and their greatest weapon.

I really got into the book and was able to get the scene in my head. Sherrilyn did a fantastic job keeping it going. Bad Moon Rising is coming next and can't wait to see if that book does the same. I'm sure it will.

I don't read much of books about sci-fi characters, but this one got my attention within the first 3 chapters. Excellent desription of character's present events & events of their past. Never got confused like some other books I've read. Can't wait to read more from the League!!!

This had to be one of the worst books I have ever read; poorly written, shallow characters! 5 stars? Really?
