  WORTH THE WAIT!!
Review created: 08/08/08(updated 11/18/08)

First I have to apologize as I am not an eloquent writer but let me assure you the book far surpassed my expectations! The inside cover reads:

"Eleven thousand years aga a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent his human life in 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 centeries, he has fought for our survival and has hidden a past he never wanted revealed. Untial a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.
Now Acheron's survival, and ours, depends on her, and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.
War has never been more deadly... or more fun."

The book is divided into two parts. The first half is Acheron's past and then the second half takes us to the near future (Oct. 8, 2008). Very well written with every attention paid to detail with great humor. I had a hard time putting it down and found myself trying to steal away from my visiting family to read it. When I it ended I was sad it was over, like a good vacation you don't want to end. Some parts are a little graphic and it does help to have previous experience with this author. I recommend reading some of her early Dark-Hunter books before reading this one. A side note...I do not recommend reading Phantoms in the Night. Also, she does have a glossary out "The Dark-Hunter Companion" to help and give some back ground information. One confusing part was Acheron not being able to hear Tory's thoughts but in different parts of the book he could hear her thoughts? Anyway, the hero is lovable & had my empathy. While the heroine was witty & funny. Both were easy to relate to. This will defintely be one of those books I read again & again and come away with something new each time.

I have read all the Dark Hunter Novels and most of the rest of Kenyon's books.
I like many have waited for this one for a long while... It was worth waiting for. It was a great book.. the first half is not for the faint of heart or perhaps squeamish is a better term.. I really enjoyed the novel and wait eagerly for the next one. Kenyon has created a group that you feel are 'old' friends you should read them all.

Review created: 10/06/09

usually I start with the back of the book says:
but in this case, if you have been reading the dark hunter series then you know who acheron (ash) is and this is his autobiography sorta.

It's over 700 pages in length, the first 428 pages are the most heart wrenching fiction you will ever read, like some of the earlier dark hunter stories ash has a tragic past, however his is the most tragic of all the darkhunters, although ash is a god and the 2nd half is in line with her normal dark hunter story.

it's good, i wonder how long it will be for nicks story..........

  The Great & Sexy Acheron
Review created: 09/13/09
by:

Who would not want to read about the father of all Dark Hunters. No matter what story is written about Acheron, no words can ever express the spirit, the idea, the persona his readers imagine. However, of course I enjoyed the book. It was graphic and upsetting at times, with a romantic twist you don't expect...but It's about Acheron and I had to get it.

Love this author and, of course, Asheron is one of my favorite people. You learn a lot more about his history and just why he is so reserved around everyone. Finally, Ash gets his happiness!

This book was outstanding. From the moment I opened the book I was swept away. Dark-Hunter fans have been waiting a long time for this book and Sherrilyn Kenyon does not disappoint. Heart-breaking in some places, uplifting in others, the story grabs you from the moment you lift the cover and doesn't let go until the last page. This has to be her best work to date.

Great book! If you're a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, this is a must read to explain much of what's unknown from her other books. It can be a stand alone read, but much of the impact is missing without the others in the series. Read it first -or read it last.

  Acheron - beyond excellent
Review created: 12/09/08

For all those interested in Acheron from the Dark-Hunter series, this book is a must!! It is truly remarkable he became such a loving/caring soul considering the devestation, abuse and traumatic horrors endured throughout his child and adulthood. I was truly hoping he found a "human" worthy of him, and Ms. Kenyon definitely delivered. This book is not to missed - it can stand alone or be a supplement to all those Dark Hunter fans, such as myself. Enjoy, get out a box of kleenex and pom-poms for you will probably want both throughout the reading of this remarkable character.

  Acheron...Kenyon's best yet!
Review created: 10/03/08
by:

Deadly...sensual beyond belief...riveting and hot...this hero has been tightly woven throughout Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series of novels since 2004...and now she brings him to the forefront with blistering, amazingly hot force.

Conceived from the union of the Atlantean god Archon and his wife Appolymi, the Atlantean goddess of destruction, and cursed to die before his birth by a father who fears him even in the womb, Acheron is taken from his mother's body and placed in the womb of a queen about to give birth, in defiance of Archon's demand that the babe be killed before he could become a menace to his pantheon.

Believing that her son will be raised in comfort and safety as a prince until his twenty-first birthday when he will come into his full godhood, Appolymi is unaware that her beloved infant son will be cast out as evil, and left to the mercies of those who want only to harm and abuse the child.

This August 2008 novel from Sherrilyn Kenyon follows the babe from prior to his birth, through the incredible horrors and degradation he is forced to submit to throughout his life, weaving a tale of how the child grew to manhood in spite of his "curse", and how he survived. She weaves a marvelously intuitive tale that shows the depth of her understanding of human nature, and she handles the subject magnificently!

Filled with gods and goddesses of multiple pantheons, and showing a rare talent for historical correctness while weaving a delicate web that totally ensnares her readers, Kenyon draws from ancient history and wisdom to create finely drawn, marvelous characters with an acute sense of continuity that you don't find often in serial literature.

The book covers a period from nearly 9600 years BC through the present, and Kenyon's wry wit and loving hand draw the reader into sitting into the wee hours, unable to put the book down.

If you are familiar with the Dark Hunter series, you know that the Greek goddess, Artemis, created an army of immortal men who sold her their souls for the chance of revenge against those who destroyed them. This tale tells us of her reasoning in creating this army...as a method of holding the one man she loves against his will, forcing him to protect her army and to heel at her call. A "man" who could destroy her without even a thought, despite her god powers, but who willingly gives her dominion over him to protect his "humans".

Acheron is the creme de la creme of Dark Hunters...a god of fate and destruction without equal...a god who has suffered and bled for humanity since the beginning...and a god who is about to meet his match. And his match comes in the form of a human woman whose life is, and always has been, intertwined with his for several generations of her family, even before her birth.

Soteria Kafieri wants to prove that Atlantis really exists. Her father and uncle and cousins have given their lives in pursuit of the fabled kingdom that sank beneath the Aegean Sea over 11,000 years ago...and she wants the world to know that her family is at last vindicated. A family that has been scorned for years, laughed at and ridiculed because of their belief in the lost continent of Atlantis. She has proof of its existence.

But Atlantis cannot be found. To find Atlantis endangers the very fate of mankind, and Acheron cannot allow her to succeed. Soteria has met her match. And the resulting conflicts and craziness make for an amazingly fabulous read! Buy it! Enjoy it!
