Synopsis 

The Eleven–an alliance of ultimate predators. Primal, lethal, irresistible.

The Prophecy–an ancient Mayan prediction that the world will end on 12-21-12.

The Prey–where can you hide from pure evil?

Kelly Maloy opens her car door to much more than a great looking stranger at the Houston airport. Terror, desire, and a horrible truth climb in with him. She’s only supposed to drive Ty Endeka around the city for a few weeks. Too bad no one tells her that once day fades she’ll become part of a battle fought in the darkened streets with an enemy that isn’t human. And the sensual man who feeds her fantasies hides a soul that gives new meaning to animal magnetism.

Eleven Gods of the Night…
The only creatures more deadly are the ones they’ve been summoned to destroy.

MY REVIEW
 
Summary:
Kelly Maloy, is Ty Endeka designated driver for the next few weeks. Kelly takes the job, because its the best offer for you financially, however she never imagined that accepting such a job, would definitely change her life forever. Ty Endeka, is one of the Eleven, a T-Rex, and very unpredictable and having recently come into this new life, that is much different from his last one. Kelly, is brought into a battle, that doesn’t involve anyone that is human, but full of dangers she can barely comprehend exist in her world. Kelly is strongly drawn toward Ty, and there is a magnetism between the two, one that can’t be denied, but as they come together there is also a great danger to them both, one that is pure evil…will their love be enough to survive?

The Hero (Ty Endeka)
Ty, is originally from a very different world, one with animal instincts, and is not used to the modern world, where he has to suppress his inner nature. After being in the ground for sixty million years, the world has changed much, but there is one woman that will change everything for him. Kelly, is definitely his weakness, and his barely contained control is threatened whenever she is near…

The Heroine (Kelly Maloy)
Kelly, takes on a job that is the best offer so that she can finish her degree, however she never thought that such a simple job as being a driver for three weeks, would turn her life upside down. Kelly is awakened to the knowledge of creatures that she never thought or imagined could exist, but now they are very real, as is the desire she feels for Ty, and she knows that her life has changed forev

My Thoughts 
Eternal Pleasure is the first in the Gods of the Night series, but is the second one that I have read of the series. I recently read Eternal Prey, and just fell in love with it, so I wanted to read the previous two books. Eternal Pleasure is the beginning of a intense ride of danger, passion, and excitement that will curl your toes. From the first page, I was entranced by the story, I felt like I could relate with Kelly, she was such a endearing character. Kelly, although shocked at first, handles the truth extremely well, she has a inner strength that most don’t expect from her. I just fell in love with Eternal Pleasure, there was such a enticing quality about the story that just had me drawn into it. Definitely a story that will take you on a thrilling journey, and one you don’t want to miss out on….

Synopsis

The souls of ancient predators crouch within the Eleven. Primal instincts and barely contained savagery drive them. But in a modern world threatened with chaos and darkness, they are…
Gods of the Night.

Utah knows all about vengeance. Vampires killed his brother, and that act demands only one response. He frees his beast and destroys every bloodsucker he finds. But he never expected to meet a leader of his immortal enemies who was so beautiful, bewitching…and mortal.

Lia understands her destiny. She has a duty to stop the rogue vampires who are intent on wiping out the human race along with any nonhumans that get in their way. But she needs help dealing with the shadowy power guiding the escalating slaughter. Utah would be her last choice for a partner. Once a deadly foe, he now becomes her ally and protector. Loving him will be more dangerous than anything she’s ever done. Because when Utah releases his soul, the ultimate predator will once again stalk the earth, and death will walk with him.

MY REVIEW 


Summary:
Utah, a creature of the night, is determined to have vengence for his brother, and refuses to let it go until every vampire is gone from the world. Utah is part of the Eleven, and the only ones that stand a chance at saving the world from the evil that surrounds them. Then Utah has to start working with a leader of the vampires…a enticing and beautiful and very mortal woman, Lia. Lia, has never felt love or acceptance from her mother who was a leader of her clan of vampires…but now she is dead and Lia knows that she is next in line and that she will become a vampire, even though her father is against it, she knows its something she has been preparing herself for all of her life. Then she has to start working with Utah, who is dangerous and literally a beast lives inside of him, yet there are stirrings of desire for him, and as they work together to bring down one of the immortals and save their lives, a powerful love forms between the two, they will fight to keep each other…

The Hero 
Utah, is a creature, a very dangerous raptor, as are the other of the eleven, having just recently entered into this much different world than where he came from, but doesn’t remember apart from bits and pieces. Utah is filled with a vengence and thirst for revenge after losing his brother, and is determined to do all in his power to make sure every vampire in this world is extinguished, until he meets Lia, who captivates his heart, body and soul…who plans on becoming the very thing he despises more than anything…..

The Heroine 
Lia, only felt love from her father, her mother was a powerful vampire, but very viscious with no love capability, and no matter how hard she tried to prove herself, she always came up short in her mothers eyes, and never could get her mother to love her, and now stays clear of ever falling in love, but what Lia never expected was to come to care for Utah, a powerful creature of the night, but knows that she could definitely fall madly in love with him…..

My Thoughts 
This is the first that I have read from this author, I had heard good things about this series, and I just love the cover and the blurb really intrigued me when I saw it at the shelf at the library, so I decided to try it out. I definitely have no regrets, it was a enticing read… Eternal Prey is the third installment in the Gods Of The Night series, and I even though there were a couple parts I was a little confused at first, I was able to catch up fast, (although I definitely feel a powerful need to read the previous two books), from the first chapter I was captivated, especially by these specially woven characters, that stole their way into my heart. I just loved all of the Eleven, and what a special bond they all have with each other. I love the intrigue and danger that surrounded the plot, and most especially the powerful passion between Utah and Lia, that will just draw you in, Nina Bangs with take you on a thrilling ride of adventure, danger, passion, and intrigue.  A POWERFUL READ!!!
