The more I read Sherrilyn Kenyon, the more I love her. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is action packed, and full of steamy romance. ( )

The fusion of Greek mythology and the modern-day era was superb. This is way better than the first book, I considered "Fantasy Lover" as the first Dark-Hunter novel and I'm glad I read it before this one. Characters were recurring here: Julian and Grace have three kids already and another one on the way, this time the hero is Julian's friend Kyrian (of Thrace), and the heroine Selena's sister Amanda.Although this is only the second Dark-Hunter book I've read, I picked up a pattern. This one had a lot of similarities with the first one starting with the hero, both were thousand-years-old, the heroines were both plain Janes. There's the curse, and only the heroine can break it but surprisingly this time, the heroine has supernatural powers too. I found some parts redundant though like how Kyrian gave his heart (and more) to a woman before and found out that was the biggest mistake of his mortal life.The predictability was there but I still liked the story a lot, I found Kyrian's story more interesting, and I loved his character especially the sarcasm. Both he and Amanda had quick wits and sharp tongues and it's fun to read their conversation, serious ones were few as they were bantering most of the time.There were plenty of sex scenes which were really creative and the way it was written wasn't just a quick tumble in the sheets, but they really helped in developing Kyrian and Amanda's story. First lust, then love, formula always works and it really worked for me. ( )

This book was sooo good. I have had it in my library for awhile and am mad at myself for not reading it sooner. I loved the mix of legend, folk-lore, and mythology. It had strong. bold characters, and it was amazing and fun to read. Oh, and it was STEEEAAMMMY! ( )

Dear Reader,

Have you ever wanted to know what it's like to be immortal? To journey through the night stalking the evil that preys on humans? To have unlimited wealth, unlimited power? That is my existence, and it is dark and dangerous. I play hero to thousands, but am known to none. And I love every minute of it.

Or so I thought until one night when I woke up handcuffed to my worst nightmare: a conservative woman in a button-down shirt. Or in Amanda's case, buttoned all the way up to her chin. She's smart, sexy, witty, and wants nothing to do with the paranormal-in other words, me.

My attraction to Amanda Devereaux goes against everything I stand for. Not to mention the last time I fell in love it cost me not only my human life, but also my very soul. Yet every time I look at her, I find myself wanting to try again. Wanting to believe that love and loyalty do exist.

Even more disturbing, I find myself wondering if there's any way a woman like Amanda can love a man whose battle scars run deep, and whose heart was damaged by a betrayal so savage that he's not sure it will ever beat again.

Kyrian of Thrace ( )
