For millennia, the ex-god turned Dark-Hunter Sin has sought to regain his powers and take  revenge on Artemis. But now he has bigger fish—or in this case, demons—to fry. The lethal gallu that were buried by his pantheon are stirring, and they are hungry for human flesh. Their goal: To destroy mankind. Sin is the only one who can stop them…if a certain woman doesn’t kill him first. 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 only knows betrayal must trust the one person most likely to hand him to the demons. Artemis may have stolen his godhood, but this one has stolen his heart. The only question is: Will she keep it…or feed it to those who want him dead?

Summary: Questions answered that's about it...
Comment: With any book I have two deciding factors that determine if I like (or love) it or not. Can I picture myself as the heroin (do I want to be her), and can I picture myself falling in love with the hero?
We finally find out who exactly Kat is. I like her, she is beautiful, tough, funny and one of the very few people who can put Artemis in her place. She is Ash's daugher, I would like to be her (or maybe not, I do love Ash but not in the father/daughter kind of way). Sin, not so much. I tried, I just couldn't fall in love with him.
Though this book is a must read in the Dark Hunter information category. It ties up a bunch of loose ends which have been hanging out there for a while. However I would advise reading this book with a bit lower expectations than we are used to in this series.

Summary: Hot as "Sin"
Comment: Another winner in Kenyon's endlessly imaginative and sexy DArk-HUnter series.The 11th novel, "DEvil May Cry", is the story of Dark HUnter, Sin, an ex-Sumarian god turned DArk HUnter with the fate of the world in his hands, an axe to grind with the greek goddess, Artemis, and a serious growing crush on Artemis' daughter, Kat Agrotera. The story is the usual delicious caldron mix of gods, goddesses, daimons, charonte demons, gallu demons, dream hunters and the ultimate salvation of a broken, but hunky, DArk Hunter through the power of selfless and unconditional love.
YOu'll also get a tasty dose of Acheron (Ash) and further unraveling of his ongoing relationships with his Dark hunters, "Artie", and an important "new" character in his life. All and all, very entertaining. Enjoy !

Summary: Oh Baby Baby.
Comment: This book kept my attention and I never read so that's very hard to do. It kept me up all night reading it and not being able to put it down.

Summary: loved it
Comment: After Dark Side of the Moon, I vowed never to read another Sherrilyn Kenyon book but after reading Acheron...I needed to know about Katra and her father so I read this one. It was worth buying and I would recommend it to any Sherrilyn Kenyon fan. Being biased after the disaster that befell Nick (my favorite character) my choice to not read another one of her books ever again seems a little childish now but I must say that the book where Nick kills himself I cried for weeks. The series is going in a direction that the readers will just have to sit back and see where it takes you...whether your favorite character lives or not.

Summary: I Loved it.
Comment: I loved Devil May Cry. It answered many questions I had and was a lot of fun to read. I really liked Sin and I love Kat. The book even humanizes Apollymi.
This one read like an 'end of the world' episode of Buffy. Since I love Buffy, that was fine with me. The interactions between Xirena and Simi was also a hoot but I was a little disappointed there wasn't any mention of Alexion and Danger but oh well, can't have it all in one book.
Sin was just delicious. I loved him and Kat together and found his 'scoobie' support team of Kish and Damien equally delightful. SK has been really humanizing the Daimons lately and I feel for them a lot more especially since Kiss of the Night but it could be because there's something bigger and badder loose on the streets now.
This book really made me hate Artemis. It wasn't because she beats Acheron or because of the flashbacks into his past where she betrays him. It's because after all that, she still refuses to understand what she did was wrong and ontop of that, Acheron doesn't hurt her back when he is able to, right where it would hurt her the most, in her non existent heart.
One thing I did not like in this book was the part where Kat has to make a sacrifice in order for Sin to live. Acheron tells her as soon as she does this, it's permanent. No going back. Yet about five pages later her sacrifice is negated when Sin gives it back to her, as if it's just a little something she gave him to use temporarily and now that he's done with it, he gives it back. That's not a sacrifice. That's letting someone borrow something. Ugh. Since it was the very last part of the book, it really bugged me.
Anyhoo, I really liked the book. A lot of answers were given and I can't wait for Acheron's book to come out. In the meantime I'm going to tackle Xypher's book because SK really intrigued me about his possible story. I also kind of hope there is more of Hades in the future because I'm starting to like the little glimpses I get of him.
It's funny but if you've seen the tx show Hercules and Xena, that's how I picture all the gods and goddesses up there on Olympus.
