This book was awful. The first part of the book was just the same thing over and over. Ok yes I get it he was abused, everytime he trusted someone they betrayed him, yes I get it move on. At one time I actually held the book in the air and screamed I GET IT, MOVE ON ALREADY!!!! My aunt,whom I was visiting, thought I was crazy. Tory was weak, weak, weak,as a character and just not right for acheron at all. Well since he turned into a wimp in this book maybe they did make a good couple? I think maybe Acheron and Phury from J.r. wards lover enshrined, took a class together on how to become whiney wimps, and they both graduated with A's in my opinion. In this class an A was not the grade to shoot for. I am done with buying the dark hunter series after this train wreck and her dream warrior books.

Diane I'm so glad I'm not the only one who felt the same way. I thought Ash got a little wimpy as well.
I thought Tory and Ash made a boring (and cheesy) couple. :(


Dhfan4life I'll agree I wasn't fond of Tory being Ash's heroine in the story. Even when she had that mini smack down moment with Artemis at the end. I mean Tory is kind of interesting in the way that Grace from Fantasy Lover was interesting. But I didn't think she was a good match for Ash. However I think the re-telling of his past life was done in great detail. I mean we already got so many small snippets of what ancient life was like for the other Dark-Hunters. But Ash has always been a true ancient and getting the original harsh blows well before any body thought to say hitting your kids or someone you love wasn't right. And so I always thought it explained a heck of a lot about why he was the way he was in the books. Which by far made it a much more interesting than other books to me.


Michelle HA! Although I dont really agree with you on the second half stuff you hit the nail on the head with the first novel of this book, I too was like GET ON WITH IT! And I loved the dig on Phury, I despise him :)


Ashadam i didnt think id find ppl who hated it....if you shouted or thought get on with it you should of skipped some umm....PAGES!


Miakoda I must admit, I thought a lot of the same thoughts you did.

M. I'm still reading the first part and I agree with your opinions about it. It just freaking dragged. I didn't think Sherrilyn needed to dedicate 400 pages of detailed abuse in order for us to get that Ash had a fucked up life as a human and understand his twisted relationship with Artemis. Honestly, 200 pages would have been more than enough. I also don't find him as appealing as I did before because of him taking so much abuse and continuing to offer the other cheek. Compassion my ass, god or no god, Ash is freaking doormat. And yes, I could have skipped to the second part, I was tempted several times, but I wanted to read the whole thing in order to give a proper review later.


Camille Yep I completely and totally agree with you. Same backstory as all her other characters in the series. No originality or imagination.


Gianna Wow.... The f**k is wrong with you people? Clearly none of you have ever been abused or read Kenyon's small explanation of her abusive childhood in the beginning of the motherf**king book. If you people can't respect where she is coming from then get the hell out!!! Yeah she dragged his story of abuse out a little longer than need be, but it was to show how abused one can be when locked in that sort of situation. Also, f**k you M for saying he's a doormat, do you have any idea what it's like to be abused? Do you? You selfish b**ch. it's EXTREMELY hard to cope when your abused the way Acheron was, so excuse him for finding it hard to trust or defend himself. Another thing, Tory is perfect for Ash because she is funny, intelligent, charismatic,kind, caring, quirky, accepting and downright love able!!!!!! So F**CK ANYBODY WHO DISAGREES!!!!!


Gianna also the abuse was to show how Ash is extremely kind and caring, despite is horrid past. The man is amazing to have the amount of love that he does when he's been through so much. Honestly he had every right in the world to end the entire human race, but that wasn't the point of his character now was it? WAit I forgot, dipshits don't understand people like him. Guess that explains why you people didn't like the book


Patricia Evans I have to admit, I'm only a few chapters in and I'm about to put the book down and skip onto the next one int he series. It's depressing.

The first part is rough. But even if you don't like his love interest, you happy he makes it through to the other side.
