Publisher Description
While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all out onslaught against his enemies—which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. Enter his ex-wife. Zephyra. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he's now embroiled in a centuries old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain.

"What can i say about this book - to be honest compared to the previous one in the series - Acheron - it is really a pathetic excuse for a book because if you have read it you know what i'm talking about - Acheron is really an epic book and this one ...not so epic.One Silent Night reveals the story of Stryker who appears in every book in the series one way or another because he is the ruler of the Daimons who prey on the humans and who is an enemy of Acheron's...And in this book the author tries to show us some unknown part of Stryker's character like his ability to actually love and care for someone who happen to be his ex- wife and daughter who happen to be alive and after all these centuries there is something other than ambition that leads his actions.I expected his charatcer to be more developed through situatuions that show his humanity to the reader coz honestly i couldnt really get into the whole Stryker-has-a-good-side thing because the plot was kind of predictable and the book didnt really fascinated me like the rest of the series.He is a very complicated hero and i think he desereved much more complicated story...It just seemed too easy for his to get his wife back and gain immoratality...Sherrilyn Kenyon is now one of my favourite authors but i still have to say that this book was quite the disappointment...I was considering to give it 3 stars but since there was an very interesting situation involving Nick, Acheron and Stryker i decided that its worth the 4 stars from me.:)"

" Not very good. Kinda dissapointing. I didn't like Striker to begin with and still don't after reading his book. it was very short and it still took 3 days to read it. But my house is clean... "
— Luvmyfamily, 2/20/2014 -
" This is Stryker's love story, and it also has a big subplot for Nick and Jared. Salvitar's in it, too. Stryker decides to kill Acheron and Nick by releasing a mega-God named War, which is suicide because Acheron's death will end the world. After War is released, Stryker learns that War always kills those he's indepted to, which Stryker doesn't really care about until his first wife/true love shows up to kill him. There's a whole lot of complicated mythological and character backstory you need to know to enjoy this novel - I think it's much better to read this series in order to get the context. "
— Anita, 2/12/2014 -
" It was okay, I think Stryker is hot and all but naturally evil. I was hoping he'd see the light when Phyra came back to - yea I know they had a lot of issues to solve- but after it was solved I hoped that he'd see the good in life like the usual fairy tale stories love do to all people -rolling my eyes- anyway I didn't like Phyra actually I thought she is too cold-hearted! but overall it was all right I guess. "

" I still think they are bad.. I saw a side of Stryker I don't think I was ready for.. And yet yes SK made him seem more humanlike but I still am not won over by him.. I now understand y he does things and is "evil" ... His wife is just as devious as he is.. I think that I am def ready to read The Nick Chronicles.. :D "
— SANDRA, 2/8/2014 -
" Stryker and Zephyra "
— Casey, 2/5/2014 -
" A nice book, though does not do justice to the usual Kenyon stuff. Lacked the strong story line, plus can not see the -ve char suddenly turn good after reading the others - Just don't stick. "
— Aparna, 1/16/2014 -
" This was an interesting book to read cause it showed another side to Stryker who is an enemy of the dark-hunters and Acheron in the series. I actually liked his character but not as much as I liked Zephyra, his ex-wife he thought had been dead. "
— Suzan, 1/9/2014 -
" The uniting of good and evil was wholly enjoyable :) "
— Shelly, 1/7/2014 -
" didn't think I would like this book,I mean come on stryker is a meanie. but never judge a book by its cover. I loved it all the twists and turns this book has just makes you want to keep reading. another awesome dark hunter book. "
— Amy, 12/29/2013 -
" Never thought I'd enjoy Stryker's book. It's nice to think that despite all that assholeness, he's a marshmallow inside. :D "
— Cindy, 12/29/2013 -
" Stryker amazed me. I really enjoyed this book, a real quick read once I allowed myself to read it. "
— Syreeta, 12/9/2013 -
" "bu hu hu, no one likes me"... I hate Stryker; and Nick is no better. "
— Zuany, 11/4/2013 -
" Was more interested in the "seconday" characters in this book (Ash, Nick & etc) than I was interested in Stryker and Zephyra. Their story was barely fleshed out and add to that that they're more on the "evil" side of the balance, I could barely sympathise with them. "
— Leonie, 11/2/2013 -
" Their story was kinda.. well, cool, but in a evil way, huh. "
— Daniela, 10/1/2013 -
" If you love Sherrilyn Kenyon books add this one to your list if you haven't already. "
— Fiona, 6/15/2013 -
" Could have been longer, but still a good book. Lots and lots of twists and new fun problems to be dealt with in later books. "
— Samie, 5/28/2013 -
" If you have followed the Dark Hunter books from the beginning this is a good book. My views of Stryker changed and I enjoyed the novel. I liked the ending. "
— Wendalyn, 3/13/2013 -
" Meh. I guess I hate Stryker slightly less now. "
— Allison, 11/26/2012 -
" Stryker & Zephyra . . . "
— Adrienne, 11/24/2012 -
" In one word again, EXCELLENT "
— Brittany, 3/14/2012 -
" Short but utterly entertaining! "
— Matthew, 3/13/2012 -
" I never in a million years would have believed I could have sympathy/empathy for Strykerius as he has been the villain in many of the stories...but the unbelievable happened. I will have to keep this in mind when he terrorizes humanity in future stories lol. "
— Tammy, 2/20/2012 -
" Wasn't looking all that forward to reading his story (cuz i dont like him) but a twist that was interesting none the less. And can wait to see how it plays out. "
— ♡, 1/12/2012 -
" Wasn't sure that I would like this since it is about the bad guy...but it was pretty good and I finished it in a couple of days.. "
— Kristian, 7/24/2011 -
" I had to push myself to continue reading Night Pleasures. Lack of common sense and inconsistent decision-making drove aggravated the heck out me. There was so much potential to make this an intense and emotional read. What a disappointment. <br/> <br/>D+ "
— Anna, 5/15/2011 -
" I was hoping for more. The 'world' itself seems like it could be very cool but it's kinda just a trashy 'romance' book. I should have read more about the book or if I'd even have seen the cover here I'd have skipped it. "
— Fred, 5/11/2011 -
" I'm addicted to this series! I can't get enough!!! "
— Kiera, 4/22/2011 -
" Loved the story line so much...read it in one day! "
— Sherri, 4/22/2011 -
" I think I'll keep reading this series - just for fun! Amanda helps Kyrian deal with all the treachery his wife did to him centuries ago - tall order for an accountant! "
— Tina, 4/19/2011 -
" One of my favorites from this series. "
