From the Publisher

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.

    This book is the best one of the Darkhunter series. Sherrilyn Kenyon is able to make the reader feel so much emotion that I felt emotionally exhausted when I was finished, especially from the first part. If there is one Darkhunter novel you read, this should be the one.

    This book is unbelievable. I laughed and cried, there is so much pain in this book that its hard to imagine that even in writing someone could suffer so much. My heart ached for Acheron and in the end I was so happy that I cried again. I hope Sherrilyn continues her story of Acheron, he is a man that could read about forever and I hope his story continues.

    Acheron's Got it All 5

    I really liked this book--the story was engaging, interesting and different and the love scenes were steamy. Learning about Acheron's tortured life really made my heartache--Kenyon really knows how to get her readers to feel the emotions of her characters. My only complaint is the same as many of the other reviews of this book: the first part of the novel was really good--I couldn't put it down good---but the second part (the part set in modern day) lost the emotion from the first part. It… read more

    Amazing Story! 4

    Another book I picked up on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The story of Ash born eleven thousand years ago is a story that I could not put down. I absolutely love that the first two-thirds of the book took place in the time period of 9000 - 7000 BC. It was so intriguing (I love period pieces). I gave it four stars only because even though the book was amazing, I really didn't enjoy too much of the last third of the book as it took place in present time and read like a regular romance novel and… read more

    The BEST! 5

    Of all the books in the dark-hunter series, this is my favorite. Even how the pages are cut to make it look like it's an old book it awesome. This book takes you throught the very long and brutal life of Acheron. You finally find out why Ash is so secretive about himself. You wonder how someone could survive ever brutal thing he went through and still be a trusted leader of the dark-hunters and how he still tries to save human life. It is a long read, but well worth it. You learn of how… read more

    I was so happy to see that an Acheron book came out, I always love this character and now knowing his full life has made me love him even more. My favourite one in the series so far without a doubt... It was extremely sad but sometimes funny.. I couldnt put this one down.. loved it

    I can't even finish it, it is so bad. The first part was....alright, but the second part.... What a waist of a great character. I was hoping that he would have a great story, but i am fully dissapointed. I can't believe i waisted money on this book. I don't know if i will ever finish it, it is just so bad (in the way that it is just like ALL the others) same story, same EVERYTHING.....BORING!!!! I find that Kenyon's books are all starting to be the same. All that changes is the characters… read more

    WOW! I just finished Acheron and wow is pretty much all I can say. I took my time with this book because I didn`t want it to end. I laughed and cried while reading this book. The beginning was sad but it explains so much of Acherons character. The ending was fantastic, my heart is still smiling. Definitely a must read to all dark hunter fans!

    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!

    I saw this book at the store, read the inside flap and decided I wanted to read it, but when I brought it home I discovered that it is part of a series. Do I have to buy all the others to read this one, or will it make sense if I read it by itself?
