Wow, ok, apparently I'm in the minority. I hated this book. Kenyon is totally predictable, and as usual, everything is soooo convenient. Here we have a (new) mythical threat we've never heard of before in the series and OF COURSE there is only one person or heretofore unknown object or whatever necessary to negate it...the history of which is to be revealed in just a few easy conversations between characters, "oh, you know the thing that can defeat the Evil Threat - the one that can only be used by X person with this convenient bloodline and doesn't work for anyone else - and even then only if he happens to be standing on one leg holding a banana", or something equally ridiculous.

Oh, no! We must get it before Armageddon is upon us! Blech. Blah blah. I'm a lone dark hunter/ex-god and I've been wronged and I'm so grumpy and hurt (and boy do I have major trust issues) that only one special woman can truly make me not act like a big putz all the time. Show me that women can be trusted! Save my wounded soul!

The end features the usual deus ex machina with this series - Acheron shows up at the end to bring back the dead - 'cuz he can. He facilitates the usual pathetic nod at self sacrifice and then fixes everyone's boo boos and wraps the book up in a tidy bow.

If you ARE A big fan of this series and you can get past her crap writing and the fact that its always the SAME STUPID BOOK over and over again - there are loads of personal revelations to be had - who is Acheron's long lost daughter? Will he find out? Will he kill Artie if he finds out she knew? Who are the enemies of the Charonte demons (like Simi)? What's Simi's favorite bbq sauce? Is Artie just misunderstood? What is the mysterious hold she has on Acheron and why can he only feed on her? What's with Apollymi and those Daimons anyway?

Argh! ****SPOILER**** DON'T READ BELOW HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
Let me save you the trouble - now we've got a demon-hunting deposed Sumerian God who's only sort-of a dark hunter - and who is fine with Daimons as long as they only eat bad people. He hates Artemis (who doesn't?). He meets Katra, secret daughter of over 1000 years of Artie and Acheron. Conveniently, only a Sumerian can keep the lid on evil demons they created eons ago that threaten the world every so often...but since he's an ex-god (thanks to Artie, indirectly), they must search for his long lost brother and use a tablet that drains god-powers ("I've got just the thing!"). He learns to love the daughter of the woman he hates most, "the heifer goddess". Naturally, there's some setup for the next book, with collusion between the new enemy (demons) and the old enemy (daimons).

I like Kim Harrison, Kelly Armstrong, LKH...there are just so many authors who do it better.

I loved this book!! It did take some memory to recall some events from previous books that she referred to but overall it was great! I finished it in 5 hours - was up until 2 am! I couldn't put it down. As always, Sherrilyn Kenyon sets up for the next books perfectly. She leaves you wanting more! Great series, but definitely start with the first one and read in order. 5 stars all the way!!

Finally, after the last two books, a good Dark Hunter story again. I was about to give up on this series! This is the story of the Sumerian Fertility God: Sin. He isn't exactly a Dark-Hunter as he never died, he was drained of his powers by Artemis' trickery and left to die. Acheron found him like that and trained him to be a Dark-hunter so that he could continue to protect the world from Sumerian demons. Artemis gets mad at Sin and sends one of her handmaids: Kat Agrotera to kill Sin ... but, of course, it isn't that simple. Sin is the only Sumerian God left which means he is the only one who can save the world from the Sumerian demons. Kat and Sin decide to work together to rid the world of the Sumerian demons. Of course, this is a romance, so they fall in love in the process. Enjoyed it very much. It finally answered A LOT of questions about the characters in this series.

I love this series. This one you got a lot of answers and of course more questions. I couldn't put it down.

I really did not want to buy this book until it was in paperback, but I just couldn't resist. After the last couple or so disappointing Dark-Hunter books, I was almost tempted to stop with them all together. I'm so glad I didn't give up! While I still feel like some things were way too sudden or convenient, I finally cared about the main characters again. It certainly didn't hurt that so many answers were revealed.

This whole book felt like scratching an itch for me. So much of the series became clearer as I read this book. I didn't read the series in order and I only read them as I got them off of here. So there have been alot of gaps in my knowledge. Beyond finding out things I didn't know previously, I enjoyed the look into Kat's life.
That being said I am finding them a bit predictable. Just as a warning for some who might mind. However, the look into the other pathenon was great and I enjoyed the expansion to the Kenyoverse.

This book was amazing! Well worth the wait. Makes me even more anxious to get to Ash's story.

Book description:

Sin, an ancient Sumerian god, was one of the most powerful among his pantheon...until the night Artemis stole his godhood by trickery and left him one step from death. Trust of any kind died in him that night, as well. For millennia, this ex-god turned Dark-Hunter has dreamed only of regaining his powers and seeking revenge on Artemis. If only life were that simple.
Unfortunately, he has bigger fish--or in Sin's case, demons--to fry. The lethal gallu that were buried by his pantheon are now stirring, and they are hungry for human flesh. Their goal is to destroy mankind and anyone else who gets in their way. Sin is the only one who can stop them--that is, if a certain woman doesn't kill him first. Unfortunately, Sin discovers that he must now rely on her or witness an annihilation of biblical proportions.
Enemies have always made strange bedfellows, but never more so than when the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Now a man who knows only betrayal must trust the one person most likely to hand him to the demons. Artemis may have stolen his godhood, but this one has stoelen his heart. The only question is: Will she keep it or feed it to the ones who want him dead?

I won't give a plot synopsis here but I really liked this book as it did not follow the same path as many of her other ones did. Kenyon is without a doubt one of my favorite authors. She keeps her stories fresh even if sometimes it doesn't always work. I loved this one though.

Another great one by Kenyon, Sin's story. Definitely worth the read.

Another excellent book

Interesting read and better than some others that she's written recently. Learned a lot about Ash and Artemis. Simi was too funny in this one also. If you like Sherrilyn Kenyon, you'll definitely enjoy this one! :)

This book was wonderful.

I finished this last night. I loved it. It answered alot of questions about Ash and Artie. I give it *****!!!

Loved it, you learn alot about Ash in this one...makes you ready for his story.

I love this series. I LUV simi. One of the things I totally didn't see coming and I won't spoil it by telling and I can't wait for the next one!!
