What a pleasant surprise “A Dark Kiss of Rapture” was, having been written by Ms Sylvia Day It was not what I expected, in a wonderful way as I loved every minute of itI have to be honest this is the first paranormal novel of Ms Day’s I have read and I was not disappointed. Her supreme ability to fuse what I am use to from her, erotic sexuality with a wonderful story of vampires, fallen angels and all things paranormal was sublime.The love between Raze and Kim that grows is just as intense with Raze being a brooding, sexy, dangerous alpha male with gorgeous looks and a seductive nature to match. Kim being a classy female with a spunky nature that has Raze at his knees.The story begins focused on Raze, one of 200 “fallen” angels, a watcher, cursed with vampirism due to his infamous sexual seductions, the remaining became fallen due to having lovedFinding a dead body at his door with a familiar carving in his arm, he departs for Chicago alone to attack the “minions”, changed into vampires by the few unscrupulous fallen, that were involved. Knowing he is expected he calls upon Adrian, the “sentinel” angels leader, a vamp hunter that still enjoys the thrill of being a hands-on hunter in the field. What follows is a well written, page turning combat between Raze/Adrian and the minionsWhile in Chicago Raze heads into a jazz club looking for his usual wild sexual encounter on the spot, love them and leave them style, when Kim approaches him having gone through a horrific incident and just wanting to forget through her own wild one night stand. Realising that she is way classier than the usual women he seduces he agrees to wait and meet her at his place. Opening the door in the nud, as both are wanting wild sex, a connection and intimacy both feel leads to a more seduced loving night that both needed rather than wanted that leads to so much moreHaving been tracked by the baroness as Raze killed her husband, she bugs his place with the intention of taking Kim from him having realised for the first time there is love and tenderness in a relationship of his.With the amount of enemies Raze has acquired through the years he knows Kim will be a problem unless she is “changed”, destroying her if she loses herself in the process. Faze tries to break up with Kim for her safety but loving him as she does she doesn’t allow it to happen, still not knowing his true nature and wont until “A Lush Kiss of Surrender” is released…Having not realised it was going to end with a cliffhanger my frustration at having to wait literally had me wanting to throw my devise.  However not bad is and huge understatement for a novella with so much jamb packed adventure, paranormal beings, and of course it wouldn’t be a Sylvia Day novel without the erotic scenes between Raze and Kim.I would recommend this to any lovers of paranormal and erotic novels as what a wonderful short piece of writing to have you transfixed for the whole time. I loved it and I an sure if this is your genre you will too
