Oooh Kindle, what trash you make me read. I'd read about this series for a long time and was too red-faced to buy the six pack cover at Borders. Well, this ended up on my Kindle and...I enjoyed it! I'm totally vampired out, but the world was kinda interesting, I've lived in New Orleans, and there are so many fans of the series. Nice romance, pretty interesting characters, I didn't regret reading. Now the later ones....

SPOILERS ARE HIDDENSherrilyn Kenyon is becoming a better author, but we still have a ways to go.Kyrian is a Dark Hunter. Amanda is one of the 9 Devereaux sisters. Selena, the psychic from Fantasy Lover, for example, is her sister. They wake up to find themselves handcuffed together by an evil Daimon named Desiderius. They fall in love and stuff....THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE - Kyrian is sarcastic and joking. While amusing, it failed to connect me to the character. I couldn't get worried too much about
Just finished my reread and I loved this just as much, if not more, the second time. No PNR author writes 5-star stories with as much heart as Kenyon does IMO. Her books are the perfect blend of tortured heroes, strong heroines, engaging plot, intricate mythology, heart touching moment and the sweetest HEAs. I really love how she also clearly had an overall story arc from page one. During my reread, I caught a lot of things that set up books far down the series that I never noticed the first tim...
This book sounded so promising, it was my first read by Sherrilyn Kenyon and I'd heard many people raving on about how great her Dark Hunter novels were; and as a fan of paranormal romance and urban fantasy, I couldn't wait to find another sexy, dark series to get into, complete with the usual array of vampires and mythology.The problem with the paranormal romance genre, and even more so the urban fantasy genre, is that after you've read a few of them they all start to form a similar pattern wit...
This isn't a review, it's a rant...I know many readers love this series, but I'm beginning to think it isn't for me. This was my second book by SK - the first was Fantasy Lover - and I still don't know what all the fuss is about. The concept and the mythology of the Dark Hunters are very interesting, but SK's writing didn't work for me again. What annoyed me the most was how all her characters were constantly cracking jokes, no matter how serious and dangerous the situation was. Everyone was a s...
I really don’t have anything interesting to mention in this review, so let’s do it the old school way, simple and effective.Dark Hunter Flashcard #1Name : Kyrian a.k.a. HunterAge: 2,182 last JulyFormer Occupation: Prince of ThraceSpecial D.H. power: Reading minds Reason why he became a D.H.: (view spoiler)[His wife betrayed him to the Romans and then sat back and watched him being tortured to death. (hide spoiler)]Best thing that came out of his mouth: You know, I really hate Romans, but I have
There is a lot of hoopla about this series, so I will give it a few books before judging it as good or eye-rollingly tropey cheesey smut. There are tons of these type of things: Stroking tonguesMoaning into mouthsHot gazesHungry looksAnd melting...lots and lots of melting...O_oSo, yeah...On the other hand, the world is really cool and original. I like the Dark Hunter origin story and the Greek mythology. Those Greek gods sure are assholes.So we have Kyrian, a former Greek commander and present D...
Kyrian's story was heartbreaking. Over two thousand years ago, he was the general of the Grecian army, holding back the invasion of the Romans. He was also a prince, destined to inherit a grand kingdom. He was also a human being who was feeling the flush of young love. He was so in love with his wife that he ignored the warnings of his father and his friends. So blindly in love that he didn't see the truth of who he was in love with until he was tortured to death while staring into her cold
The story was utterly engaging and enjoyable, so much so that I couldn't put it down. Sherrilyn Kenyon has done it again! Her writing is practically flawless. I loved every single thing that happened in this book.It broke my heart when I knew Kyrian's painful history. No wonder he wouldn't trust and love any woman since his wife had betrayed him. By the way, There were some interesting characters whom I would like to know more in the other books. I was absolutely intrigued by this series!
Greek Gods + Vampires + Daimons + Hunters + Insignificant Humans blabbering = the whole book! Concept: 2.0/5.0Execution: 2.5/5.0 Characters Bespoken: 3.0 /5.0Cover: 3.0/5.0Overall: 2.75/5.0As for Kyrian and Amanda:The constant cheesy dry humour bantering between them was addictive!
