PLEASURES OF THE NIGHT Sylvia Day Avon Red ISBN: 0061230987 May 2007 Ultimate Romance - Paranormal  What a refreshing change: a paranormal story NOT about vampires. With the market now flooded with paranormal books, some good, others barely mediocre, it was a delight to read PLEASURES OF THE NIGHT. Ms. Day is creating a new world with depth and interest to peak most any romance reader in any genre: paranormal, contemporary, erotica and even historic warriors. While we do not actually travel to the past in this story, the main hero is a warrior any history fan can wrap themselves around. Lyssa is an average woman, who happens to be a veterinarian and who has had trouble sleeping her entire life. Her health has suffered for this lack, and she is beginning to wonder if she is losing her mind. Aidan is an Elite Dream Guardian. His kind are trapped in a dimension after fleeing what they call nightmares. Unfortunately, by fleeing these demons, some were able to follow and have found a way to feed off of the human unconsciousness while they are asleep. There is a connection at the time humans fall asleep that they are susceptible to both nightmare and dream guardians. If I have made this sound confusing, it is a bit, but Ms. Day does a very good job explaining it – better than I can here. I really took pleasure in reading Lyssa and Aidan’s story. This is a complex world, and while there were a few issues I had with the plausibility of actions or where paradox’s could happen, I was able to overlook these and enjoy the story and characters. The love scenes between these two heat up the pages to such a degree, you might want to bring a cold drink with you when you begin this story because you are going to need it! As a side note to readers so they can gage their likes and dislikes, if you are a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dream Hunter’s series, then you should enjoy this series as well. While I do not think anyone borrowed any ideas from another, these two series have very similar themes and worlds. Reviewed by Sarah Silversmith Rating: 4
