Daylight's Deadly Kiss by Jay Raven
4.0
So I read the first in this series, Crimson Siege, and enjoyed it so I was eager to read the second in the series.
Former lawman Anton Yoska is roaming the countryside, along with his crew of dwarf Quintz, his young helper Toby and of course their bear Samson. They are eking out a living getting rid of vampires until they get an offer from crown prince Leopold to track down the formula for Basium Lucis, Daylight’s Kiss, which has resurfed. It has the ability to create artificial sunlight and destroys vampires on contact.
Anton is cynical, Daylight’s Kiss has always been a myth but it’s an offer he can’t refuse. Things get even tougher when old enemies resurface hellbent on his destruction.
Daylight’s Deadly Kiss is a fast paced mix of historical and supernatural adventure.
At the moment I’m finding it a little hard to concentrate on reading but I still managed to race through this book!
I really enjoyed that we got to know both Anton and Quintz a little better in this book. I feel like Quintz really can into his own in this novel. I liked him in the first book but now even more in the second and learning some of his history made my heart break a little for him.
Again like the first book, it’s not overly gory or scary but it may contain a few scenes that may be a little upsetting.
The ending dropped a bombshell, leaving me anxious for the next book!
Daylight’s Deadly Kiss is a well written Gothic adventure that will leave you breathless at times.
