Acheron: A Dark-Hunter Novel

The Author and/or Agent involvement with fans is a bit disheartening. When I purchased this book it costed close to $50. The significant price drop is incredible, but very unfair. The book was PERFECTLY scribed, and beautifully structured. There is no way it depreciated that significantly in only a couple of years(?) I certainly recommend this to any book worm who is a mythology buff, or might enjoy fantasy fiction in general. With a very slight similarity to Hercules, this book will immerse you in the previously unknown pantheon of the Lost City of Atlantis, giving such an imaginatively creative fictional history of why it even was - lost I mean. I have fallen in love with Madam Kenyon's writing style, ability, and keen sense of 'goldilocks' of details. Not too many and not too little, but rather jusssst righhht. This book reminded me a LOT of another series I have been searching for since the very beginning of the 2000's. $4 is a STEAL. Derogatory stars for price drop.

This book is highly sexually explicit in places. Falls under paranormal romance I guess? The first half of the book is about Acheron's past; full of sexual depravity, torture, pain and, rejection. I got sucked in. By the end of the 1st half, I was so over Ryssa trying to help but being selfishly naive about the consequences. And why the random Hersey bar? The second half... Is this the same author? It felt so different than the first half. The romance was cheesy. Tory seemed like Ryssa with a weird daredevil streak that contrasts her academic, naive, background to be the *perfect* girlfriend material. Simi cracked me up. Ash seems super nondeveloped after 11 thousand years People and things get thrown in solely as plot devices .. I think I preferred the 1st half with all the messed-upness to the second half sloppy writing. It's cute. But not super reading.

Have to agree with Cori - this is a 5 star book but the torture of chapter one is just too much and too graphic. Overkill. But other than that - I could not put the book down. Rivoting and kept you entertained. Look forward to reading her other stories.
