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.

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!

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!

An orphan with no clan that will claim him, Wren Tigarian grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and mistrust of those around him. A forbidden blend of two animals--snow leopard and white tiger--Wren has never listened to anyone when there was something he wanted. Now he wants Marguerite.
Marguerite Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent U.S. senator who hates the socialite life she's forced to live.

In order to have Marguerite, Wren must fight not just the humans who will never accept his animal nature, but the Were-Hunters who want him dead for endangering their world. It's a race against time and magic without boundary that could cost Marguerite and Wren not just their lives, but their souls.

Great Book - I have not read a full length DH book that I haven't liked. Don't miss it you'll be sorry -- Wren's story is well thought out and the ending is really great!

This is a great DH book, loved Wren. One of the best ones, in my opinion.

This is a shape shifter book, I've never read one before. LOL The Comcast digital voice commercials kept coming on. The one where the guy got tattooed as a tiger and calls the artist back saying he has Comcast now. & the artist says "Sorry Roger You Tiger Now!"
Anyway it was tough to keep a straight face and take it seriously.
The back to the future and past parts got ridiculous. Hello if you can flash yourself anywhere than why not freakin do it? The ending where someone moves their hand and shows a flashback on the wall was really cheesey. Yeah right ok, well if you can do that then why not do it from the beginning and skip all the time travel all together. LOL
I get the feeling that although Kenyon is the mother of four boys, she is writing for teenagers. I am 32 and I found a lot of this book just plain silly. There are a lot of things that didn't add up, and although I can handle some fantasy with my fantasy, I have to be able to make heads or tails of it. I think intelligent people will have trouble swallowing this one.

Overall the book was OK the sex was hot, but I think the book Night Pleasures was better. By at least two stars. I DUNNO I guess the animal shape shifter thing just isn't as hot to me as Vamps. The flashing to the past and future was just ridiculous. If every character could do that they would have killed everybody off long ago & therefore the plot just falls to pieces.
I will read her next book. I think she has talent. I just think this one got away from her and seemed rushed. She just didn't plan it out well because most of this book just plain doesn't make sense.

Found this at a thrift store and decided to pick it up...so glad I did. I found the book to be a page turner :) I enjoyed the book so much I have collected the rest of the Dark Hunter series.

Sherrilyn Kenyon is a great author..Have read lots of her books..this is a great read.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I only started to read it because I want to get to Archeron and don't believe in skipping. This one was good though, it had GREAT plot, the satisfying twists and curves, and it was pretty steamy. I think I like Wren the most of all the guys so far. I only gave a 4 because it was a bit muddled at the end, and it took a couple of rereads to understand what was happening.

I really liked this story. I like that the hero wasn't "perfect" . . . a nice twist in the series.

Sorry Sherrilyn, just not one of your best books.

couldn't put it down. love the series.

Good series!

Wren is my all time favorite. Best book in the series IMO.

This is one of my all time favorite in the series. There is just something about Wren that pulls at the heart strings and wants you to love him. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.

This is the first Sherrilyn Kenyon book I ever read (I know--seriously out of order, lol..), but it is what hooked me on the Dark Hunters and made them my favorite group of vampires and shifters ever! Wren is .... there are not words to describe how much I love Wren.. :)
