"Shades of Night" is gives you vampires, Fae, and werewolves.  First, we meet Krystoff and Edward. They are vampires or "Hunters". They hunt down the bad vampires or "Renegades" if you will. First, we meet Krystoff while he is out hunting and then Edward when he is the barer of bad news. Of the two, I think I kind of like Edward's character a little bit better.Next, we meet Alexandra, half-human, half-Fae. She doesn't really fit in either the human world or the Fae world, but she makes her way the best way she knows how. Keeping her secrets.The plot moves on where Krystoff and Alexandra meet and the attraction is instant well, more one sided at first. Krystoff is completely taken with Alexandra and wants her for himself. This part of the plot I felt added nothing new to the genre and found it a bit boring.  Inevitably, we move to where Krystoff and Edward must protect Alexandra from the "Renegades".  The "Renegades" want to take over the world and dominate all humankind, and Alexandra keeps a book that holds a secret ritual that the "Renegades" will stop at nothing to get their hands on.I am not sure how I feel about Alexandra's characters. True, she was strong and independent, but I just did not become drawn in like I would have like to have been. The romance scene between Krystoff and Alexandra could have been better. For me, overall, this was an okay read, but if you enjoy paranormal romance then I urge you to check this book out. As not every book is for everybody, please check out other reviews and/or download an excerpt of this book.
