Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay – Review by Angela Hayes

Driving into the Night by Amanda Kay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 – 3 Stars

The ring had been crafted under the cursed blood red moon. The demons would give the ring to the hunters, waiting for the demon angel to be born and the hunters would then follow its commands.

Driving Into the Night by Amanda Kay is an urban fantasy with paranormal elements and characters, drama, angst, action, adventure, mystery, and high stakes.
This is my first read by Amanda Kay, so I went into this book totally blind, as I had no idea what the book was about, or what to expect from one of Ms. Kay’s stories. I thought I was getting my hands on a dark and gritty thriller- and was excited to see what would come. What I discovered is actually not dark, or gritty, and is a MM romance. Which is fine, because I read all different genres- but when I eventually checked the blurb, the fact that this is an MM romance isn’t even alluded to – so someone who loves fantasy/paranormal romance, but doesn’t enjoy MM romance might need to know this fact before they dive in, and in my opinion, there really should have been some mention of this on the blurb.
Kenai and Mikael are caught on opposite sides of a long-fought conflict- hunter and angel-demon- and a cursed ring out for blood. But what happens when feelings get in the way of the ‘mission’? Follow along on this story of opposites attract- and the power of love.
I was really intrigued by the whole ring and pact scenario and would have loved to have discovered more about that, but the story doesn’t go into that aspect of the synopsis much, or even at all…. which was disappointing. Plus, I found the story a little confusing at times, and where the story seemed to lack ‘focus’ on the main thread/s- while there was a lot of frustration with repetitive information, especially in the form of thoughts/internal dialogue. I just didn’t find my groove here at all, which made for a frustrating read because it should have been right up my alley.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amanda Kay!
