Description:

The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron.  He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .

 Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.

War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

2So disappointing.  Mar 11, 2010
After reading so many of these books to get to Acheron and this is who you pair him with? Tori has to be the lamest character I have read in my life let alone the ONE that you pair with Acheron. To say I was disappointed is really an understatement. There is nothing, not even remotely special about this chick and you give her to the best character in the whole series.

I gave it two stars because the backstory or first half of the book was pretty good. I like his back story and I'm glad we learn so much about him, but that sorry second half. Artemis should have saved us all and cut the chicks head off!! And frankly, Acheron would not have missed her much if she had, there is no reason for him too.

I don't think I can read any more of these. Good luck to you.

2Poor Man's Ann Rice  Mar 06, 2010
This was the first novel that I have read by Sherrylin Kenyon. I thought it was sloppy overall. The second half of the book, after Acheron's "death", was a random mishmash of non-sense plots. The whole concept of Kenyon's creatures, their powers, their weaknesses, makes absolutely no sense even for a fantasy novel. Her understanding of the human condition, how people relate to each other, seems immature and boring. Perhaps her other novels are more interesting, but after reading Acheron I have no desire to purchase any more of her work.

3Disappointed a bit  Mar 04, 2010
Finally readers of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series are rewarded with Acheron's story. Long awaited by fans, including me, I couldn't wait to see how it turned out.

The first part of the book deals with his past and childhood. It's not an easy read but it explains everything and is well written.

Unfortunately, the second half of the book was not as captivating for me. When we move into present day and the story focuses on the romance, it shifts tone completely and becomes more of an airy, light read typical of the genre. I found it hard to believe Acheron overcame his objection to love so quickly and felt like Tory was a bit too accepting of him when revealed.

The plot was good and moved well, and the characters were compelling as always. I think my main problem was the shift in tone.

In the end, I was satisfied with Acheron's story and look forward to Kenyon continuing the series.
