Night Warriors #1
Night Warriors
“For the extinction of the beasts that walk the night, we will give our life’s blood and our lives. Such is the curse that we were born to. Such is the duty we swear to. Such are the lives we lead.”
Unknown to humans, Night Warriors hunt the night, saving them from vampire-like creatures called beasts. When Corwyn Hunter saves Anna from the mad elder Veriel, he is irresistibly drawn to her as mate, but there is more to Anna than there seems. Veriel has fixated on her, claiming Anna is his wife, a situation she is at a loss to explain. Is Veriel truly mad or does he have a claim on Anna and her unborn child?
Whichever side ultimately claims Anna’s child will rise the victor. It is a battle neither side intends to lose, no matter the cost.
The warriors have avoided training a female for 1500 years, but the stone will not be denied. It is time for a change in the Warrior ranks.

It may have taken me a few pages to get caught up in the story, but once I did, Brenna Lyons’ Night Warriors took my breath away. Ms. Lyons has succeeded—wildly I might add—in making the vampire legend new and fresh. It’s hard to believe that it can be done, but the proof is in the reading.
This is one of those books, when you look at the page count alone, that may give you pause, but I assure you that you will find yourself reading "The End" long before you’re ready for it. You won’t notice that, with the turning of each successive page, you’re getting ever closer to finishing the story. Once you realise that, you might, as I did, actually regret it.
Brenna Lyons has, with each book, each series of hers that I’ve read, confirmed that she consistently brings to intense and very vibrant life, characters who are never perfect but are, nonetheless, intriguing. And none of them can be construed as normal or average; their lives, the challenges they face, preclude average. These are men and women who—be they human or more—have had to fight to survive. Life isn’t going to be easy and when things to wrong, and they often do, it is nigh on impossible to hold yourself, as a reader, aloof… I sure can’t!
If you think the paranormal genre has given its best, that now there’s little that’s new or interesting, then I challenge you to investigate the storytelling of Brenna Lyons; with Night Warriors you may just discover—as I did—that there’s something new from something old. And as a fan I highly recommend not only this first book, Night Warriors, but the rest of the series as well. You may very well find yourself just as enthralled as I did.
