Search - Unleash the Night (Dark-Hunter, Bk 9)

ANY book in the DARK-HUNTER series is worth reading... shapeshifters (werewolves, werecats, etc.), vampires, gods, goddesses... this world will draw you in and you will want more and more and more. Don't wait to start with book #1...each story stands on it own and introduces you to previous character...which makes you want to read their book!

This is Wren Tigarian's story. He's the busboy at the Sanctuary bar in New Orleans who rarely speaks but carries a mean growl. The only friend he had was Nick Gautier. Nick is now "missing" (read Seize the Night).
A different side story about being a "deformed" Katagari Were-Hunter. Wren is part Tiger, part Leopard and part Human. He's considered a freak in nature and nobody cares for him. Actually, they're all afraid of him because they don't understand him. His parents are dead and he works at the Peltier's bar, Sanctuary peacefully.

Until... Maggie comes into the bar to pay her respects to her study-buddy, Nick. Maggie and Wren are attracted to each other.

No Dark Hunter or God stories included here. Generally a good story about a boy who's been discriminated against because he's different and met with hatred and pity. With Maggie's love, Wren learns to accept himself; but before they can live happily ever after, Wren is marked for death and Maggie helps him to hope to find a solution and they seek the answers in his past and discover a whole lot of interesting information.

It's a great break from the traditional Dark Hunter plot; but Wren and Maggie are connected through Nick.

We get introduced to Savitar, who rumor has it that he originally trained Ash to be a Dark Hunter. We get a glimpse of the Omegrion "Congress of the Were-Hunters" during Wren's 'trial'.

Most interesting and a great resource is the glossery of all the verbage to the series in the back of this book.

In this book we are introduced to more of Nick Gautier's friends. This was a fun and moving story of compassion. There are plenty of references to the other books and story lines for faithful readers, but the work stands alone as well.
A very enjoyable read!

A little slow in the middle but all in all not a bad book. I'll keep up with the series, that's for sure.

I picked this book up before entering a plane ride for Atlanta. I did not know what I was getting into. I read half way through the book on that trip. It was an easy read. It drew me in. Such a great story. It had more depth to it than a typical romance. I loved learning about the alt-world in which this was set.

Whenever I need something good to read I know that I will find it in Sherrilyn Kenyon!!! this was so good, and it is almost my favorite, I love the Ware-.... I like the Tigers, and Bears and everything else!!! my hats off to Kenyon, each one is SO good!!!! can't wait to get #10..!!!!!
