![]() ![]() ![]() review 1: At first i wasn't so sure that i wanted to read this book however Tymber's books have all been so well done that i decided to just go ahead and read it. Pushing aside the sci-fi smut and weirdness, at the heart of it this story is about love and loss, grief and healing, and those times when one becomes acquainted with the night. Acquainted With The Night (2010) by Tymber Dalton (Favorite Author) 3.96 of 5 Votes: 2 languge English genre Romance publisher Siren-Bookstrand, Inc. That just made the story that much more poignant and touching, and really brought home the theme of being “acquainted with the night”, a reference to the poem by Robert Frost (the favorite poet of the characters). I really enjoyed that fact that the author spans this book to cover the characters’ lifetimes up to and including their deaths (even if it made me go back into gross-sobbing mode). The interactions between the characters were just so wonderful to read and make this book such a surprising gem. This book is so character driven that I don’t even care how fucking weird it was. I’m talking full-on sobbing complete with snot and grossness. And I don’t mean quiet tears slowly slipping down my cheeks. ![]() That being said…it’s been a while since I read a book that made me cry that hard. It’s smutty and ridiculous and just plain weird. ![]() Acquainted with the Night by Tymber Dalton ![]()
