Acheron: A Dark-Hunter Novel

by KENYON SHERRILYN

St. Martin's Press | August 5, 2008 | Hardcover

The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron.  He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .

 Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of 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 centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he'll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both.

War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

    So here we finally have it, the story of Acheron. Pretty much every question anyone has ever had about Acheron is answered here.

    Here we learn about his conception, his birth, his childhood and upbringing, even how he wound up tied to the heifer goddess Artemis. And seriously, if you liked Artemis for any reason before, that's all out the window now.

    But like all of Kenyon's stories, Acheron's has a happy ending. Yes! He finally finds someone to love and love him in return. Really are we surprised that this happens? I'm just so happy with what comes about after he finds his woman. And I think most everyone else will too.

    Wait, you're not reading it yet? What are you waiting for! Go!

    This Was What I Was Waiting For

    Awe what can I say about this book except that it was AMAZING and it is definitley my favorive to this series. I have to say I waited a long time to get to this book I'm new to this series so I didn't realize that Ash's book would be number 15 of the series my eyes almost bugged out because of that but it was sooooo worth it. I loved this book I loved how we got to see what happened in Ash's past and that also showed us why he is the way he is the present day and I'm happy that we finally got the spotlight on him. I have to say even though I loved reading the past parts of the book it did become a bit much at times because I really wanted to get to the present day story. I also have to add that I HATE Artemis even more than I did in previouse books I mean she is so shelfish and it makes me wants to slap the s%$t out of her. Overall I loved this book and I really enjoyed the present day story and how we had out very loveable Ash all center of attention and I love Tory as his love interest they make a great couple for eachother. overall amazing book read this sereis so you can get to this book. :0)

    Super Excited

    I was so excited that Sherrilyn Kenyon was writing this book about the big guy. And then I read the book and was not comepletely thrilled anymore. The book does a good job of explaining alot of things about Ash, however it seems as though it repeats itself often. That being said I understand it was to get the reader to comprehend all the horrible things that happened to this mortal, and later this God. The second part of the book has the trade mark sarcassum that I enjoy with the writting. But there are still some long and drawn out parts that I could have done without. This book is a MUST read for those who are a fan of the series.

    I absolutely loved this book! It was killing me to read the series in order to get to Ash's story but it was so worth the wait. I am amazed at the horror he indured but I was so happy that he was able to find someone to love him....but then don't we all? This is a must read for us all who love Ash and would love to take him home! While it is brutal and shocking it was worth it in the end for the reader. Dark Hunter fans need to read this one...I was just sad when it was done!
