About this ebook

I don't do dangerous.

Smart, über-careful, ordinary Samantha—that's me. But I just couldn't pass up a surprise kiss from my number one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me…something strange. Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It's like part of me is missing—and I don't know if I can get it back.

Then there's Bishop. At first I thought he was just a street kid, but the secrets he's keeping are as intense as his unearthly blue eyes. If he's what I think he is, he may be the only one who can help me. But something terrifying is closing in, and the one chance Bishop and I have to stop it means losing everything I ever wanted and embracing the darkness inside me….

Ratings and reviews

Ok I totally love the cover, beautiful and very demanding of attention, well done! Ok, sorry I had to mention that because I frequently suffer from “I picked the book because of its cover” syndrome! This is the first Michelle Rowen novel for me and if it’s any sign, I’m currently reading through the rest of her works trying to pick what will be my next Michelle Rowen book. I enjoyed Dark Kiss, it was definitely a fun read. While I would primarily classify this as a YA Angel read, I would also add Mystery and Suspense to that as well. I think Michelle Rowen did a fabulous job in the build-up and slow reveal of things throughout the book. Totally kept me reading! I was split 50/50 on enjoying the characters, but I never really connected with Samantha. There were moments when I liked her and could relate with her, but sometimes even in the same paragraph, she would get a little too whiney for me. But, then there is Kraven and Bishop. I L-O-V-E-D both of these characters and Michelle Rowen did a great, unique job on her take of the angel/demon characters. Kraven, oh Kraven, he was, hands-down, my favorite character. His snarky attitude kept humor in the book. I am also really excited because I think Dark Kiss totally built a foundation for his character to become more prominent as the series progresses. Overall, while I never fell in love with Samantha, I think that most of the YA readers will be able too. The high-school aspect of the book was a little too much for me, but what can I say, I’m gettin’ up there in age! The mystery and suspense in this book was built up extraordinarily well and regardless of my age, I will keep reading the Nightwatchers Series.

Great story. Couldn't put book down for very long. Looking forward to next sequel of Samantha and Bishop!

This was a really interesting and page turning book.. I recommend it to people who pove mystery,suspense,and a twist of romance
