Acheron
Book 13 of the Dark Hunter series
DH read #22
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Acheron and Soteria's story.
Genre: Urban fantasy romance
I like my stories to tie up. But this book has so many loose ends, it made me think that, one, S, Kenyon is losing her touch. Or, two, she was under too much pressure to write this book. Either way, this book did not rate very high. I would not recommend this book to a new S. Kenyon fan or anybody who has not read her work yet. It would put them off.
For one, in chapter 9, where Tory commented:
"The tall blond who can't shoot hoops?" How did Tory knew that, when the description or any mention about him can't shoot hoops, was made after the comment!
There are many other loose ends like that, but I won't give out spoilers. So, if you are a long time Dark Hunter fan already, borrow this book rather than buy. Not worth the money.
On the positive side, it mentioned in the end, about Zarek and other Dark Hunters which went a long way in alleviating my ire.
Caption at the back reads:
Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron endured a lifetime of hatred. His human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Brought back against his will, he became the sole defender of mankind.
Only it was never simple...
For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he never wants revealed. Now his survival, and ours, hinges on the very woman who threatens him. Old enemies are reawakening and uniting to kill - them both.
