Dark Breed

review 1: The second installment in the Dark Breed series picks up shortly after the first book. Kyana is losing her Dark Breed abilities slowly, as her goddess powers are slowly taking over. There is a transition period and she is both stronger and weaker during this time. This acclimation period is an inconvenience. She has to find her friend Haven before it is too late. Her first hunt is Haven. She must find Haven and bring her in for trial. Haven is possessed by Cronos. Cronos wants revenge and will stop at nothing to get it. Kyana’s pursuit of Haven is action packed as she follows a trail of blood and chaos in her efforts to catch Haven without harming her closest friend. Kyana faces off with Haven (possessed by Cronos) numerous times, too many times in fact. The failed atte... morempts to capture Cronos brought action to the pages the first couple of times. The repeated failures became redundant and made many events predictable. Kyana’s thoughts on embracing her goddess power contradict her thoughts on Ryker. Kyana is holding on to the thoughts that vamp’s don’t do long term relationships that they are polygamous creatures. She uses this excuse when trying to keep Ryker at a distance. She consciously acknowledges that she is losing her old self (vamp/lychen) and becoming the new Goddess of the Hunt on several occasions in the book. I was pleased that Kyana still has Ryker in her life. They seem to be trying to figure out if a relationship is a possibility. Ryker is already at this point and he is having patience with Kyana while she figures out what she wants. I think Kyana and Ryker will make a fantastic couple eventually and their journey to that point is definitely an interesting read. I look back on Ascension and I remember loving the book. I could not put it down. I told anyone who would listen about the awesomeness that was Ascension. I also enjoyed the novella Before the Fall. I hate that I did not enjoy this installment in the series as much as I did the other two. I do plan on reading Chosen. I have gotten too much enjoyment out of other installments in the series not to move on to the next.
review 2: I totally loved this book. At the end of the previous book Kyana had turned her best friend Haven, a witch, into a Vampyre-Lychen hybrid to save her life, but unfortunately Haven wasn't overly pleased about that. During her weak state, the spirit of Cronos, the titan and father to the 3 main gods, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, has taken over Haven's body, wanting her to resurrect him once again. In order for Haven to do this she needs to get hold of the 4 Eyes of Power - one from each of the gods and Cronos' ring. Everyone wants Kyana to kill Haven, but Kyana still believes that somehow she can save her. How she will do that she has no idea as with Cronos' strength and powers Haven's not one to be overcome very easily. Kyana is slowly absorbing the powers of Artemis and is slowly becoming the new Goddess of the Hunt, so she needs to find Haven before all her old powers have disappeared, as she has no idea what skills her new powers will give her and cannot rely on them until she has learnt how to use them. Along with Ryker, they set off to find Haven and after a few fights, manage to capture her quite easily. I did think this was a little odd as the main story arc in theory was more or less over at 65% of the way through, but of course it wasn't! I loved all the little twists and turns that I just wasn't expecting all the time.I love Kyana in this one. She's strong, cocky, but has a soft side that she eventually opens up to Ryker. Now he is one I could have wrapped up in a huge hug for the way he was with Kyana. You could so tell he was madly in love with her, but knew that there was very unlikely a future for them together because of who they were both turning into. I just hope this relationship can lead somewhere for them both. Can't wait to read the next installment in this series. less
