You think you've got some bad date stories? My last date ended with me almost being sacrificed to a Hawaiian war god. Then I found out that all the gods are real. Only they aren't really gods, they're Atlanteans. Yep, that Atlantis.They screwed up their perfect island (and sank it) then had the nerve to move in on our territory. As if that wasn't bad enough, they told us normal humans that they were gods. And we believed them.

As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a “night out” includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local “coven” of small business owners who repeatedly invite me to their meetings - clothing optional. My life is weird. But it’s not magic. Magic isn’t real. At least, that’s what I believed - right up until the moment he walks into my store.

Summary
Bounty hunter Morgan Bailey is still recouping from her latest vampire kill when she receives a new assignment: hunt down the sunwalker who stole a priceless amulet from a mysterious millionaire. Sunwalkers - vampires who are immune to sunlight - are notoriously difficult to find, let alone kill, but Morgan’s not worried. She’s never met a vampire she couldn’t dust. But when this particular sunwalker comes looking for her…well, all bets are off.
Because not only is he cunning and charming, he is undeniably gorgeous - and in possession of an ancient secret that, if unleashed, could destroy the human world. Making matters worse, a strange darkness has awakened inside of Morgan, threatening to overwhelm her unless she can uncover the truth about the amulet everyone so desperately wants.
With a kick-ass heroine and captivating supporting cast, Kissed by Darkness launches an addictive new series for fans of urban fantasy.

New Wings of Imagination
Am so pleased by this book. A new favorite author found, a lot a new ideas, fantastic writing style, same as world building and storytelling, and good character building as well. New take on vampires, one I have to declare as my favorite as of yet. More in line with Ilona Andrews, a big favorite, so my fandom is maybe not a big surprise. But, I love this book. How Shéa MacLeod takes old myths and history, and reshapes to fit and build her story. Absolutely love her view and how she tells it. The drama of it calls to me in a big way. At the same time how she tells the story and her choice of narrator is so amazingly down to earth. I believe every word and love the heroine. Furthermore the surrounding cast is superb, have to mention that as I have never heard or seen such normal warmth in a side kick as here. Love how the side kicks are written in this book. And it adds to the story in a wonderful way. Amazing story, author and narrator. So much to love. Enjoy!

Inconsistent narration but good story.
I thought this writer did a good job with introducing a twist in P/R. The narration at times was really good, then had trouble with changing pace to often, so the timing of humor and action seemed off. The thing that was a maddening distraction what the fact that the mysterious male hero started with a great russian accent, then mid conversation would have an english accent, then an American one. After a short time couldn't tell the difference between characters. The male characters personality really left a lot to be desired. He started with promise, then just fizzled out! Very distracting. Oh well...

Naff cover interesting original twist/plot
I purchased this free with a credit needing something for a long journey. Really interesting twist in the vampire genre with an even more interesting twist.
Alrerady put book 2 in my wish list.
Wont give the twist away but story set around young woman being attached and bitten, she is the only Human not to turn but instead to gain a few useful skills. She decides to take revenge on the whole vampire race by becoming a hunter. Her best friend is a fortune teller and the super hot friends brother is something?
She is commissioned to execute a sunwalker (thought to be a Vampire who could live in the sun) everyone tyhinks they are a myth. This story takes you though her journey to work through myth and truth and if true how she will find him?? I cannot tell you anyome without ruining it for you!!!
My only moan is that I like a narrator who brings her characters to life with their own voices and accents. There is ver little change in Emily Sutton-Smiths narrative : (

Not bad for a bargain book
Would you try another book from Shéa MacLeod and/or Emily Sutton-Smith?
This was an okay start to a series. Most of the book was pretty good, but it unraveled a bit at the end. I had not problem at all with the narration.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was so frustrated to see the book fall apart at the end.
Have you listened to any of Emily Sutton-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not.
Was Kissed by Darkness worth the listening time?
It was a quick listen, so it was worthwhile. The real test will be to see how the next book plays out.

too bad....
Several good plot ideas poorly executed. Characters get a C. Like the rest of this book some real possibilities that fell flat. My real quibble is the conversation and how poorly it was written.
Narrator was all right. I'm guessing she did the best she could with the material she had.

Disappointing Main Character and Story line.
Narrator is OK,Story line is very frivolous and weak. Main character is a little disappointing and basic. If you are on a road trip and just need some light mindless background noise, then this book is great! If your looking for strong characters, rich plot and stimulating events. This book isn't for you!

A Really Bad Vampire Hunter
The heroine is supposed to be a kick-butt Vampie Hunter but time after time she misses the heart. She seems to have terrible aim. Every single battle is more drawn out and difficult than it needs to be. One time it is because the vampire is younger than she expected. Next time the vampire is older than she expected. One time she uses a nasty weapon and stands there complaining because the vampire is taking too long to die and his suffering cries are loud and tormented. Why she doesn't just dust him quickly and put them both out of their misery I don't know. The fact that she heals fast is really all she has going for her until her extra powers awaken.
Despite alot of poorly thought out plots and scenes this book was ok. Not great but ok.

Outstanding Novel
This was my first Shea Macleod novel and I think she did an awesome job. Morgan and Jack's story was romantic, exciting, and hilarious all at the same time. Intrigue surrounded Morgan's evolution throughout the story and kept you second - guessing whay came next. You'll love the wit and sarcasm she shows when she encounters her nightly prey, too. Don't miss this one.
