Still enjoying the Dark Hunters series. This one about Valerius and Tabitha was good but too easy to put down to tend to other things. I was happy to see Valerius finally accepted by the others and extremely happy to see him find love. ( )

WOO HOO! Back to Ash and the Dark Hunters. Although everyone's moaning about how sucky the series is getting, I still enjoy it.

I'm not going to take the time and space for a synop, but I will say I loved Tabitha and Valerious's story. A definite hit in my book, though I still think it's more juvenile than Ward's BDB series. ( )

Dark Hunter: " A souless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed" SK "Dance With The Devil"

Valerius Magnus, born to the son of a legendary Roman senator, presently a dark hunter, relies on no one but himself. After being burned by the other dark hunters Valerius turned his back on them and has not looked back.

Tabitha Devereaux is a self trained hunter of vampires. She and her sister Amanda are being stalked by evil forces that will not stop until they are dead.

Valerius must find a way to protect Tabitha and Amanda while overcoming a centeries long fued with his mortal enemy, Amanda's husband. ( )

I really do like these Dark Hunter books. They’re quick and steamy and don’t really require a lot of extra thought. Tabitha is one of the more interesting heroines in Kenyon’s world, a woman who does more sticking up for herself than some of the women in this series. I did think that this one addressed an interesting issue… What is life like for a Dark Hunter who has been given back his soul? How do they deal with no longer being immortal and having to worry about things like disease, bills, and bad knees? Though it is brief, I thought it was one of the better parts of the whole book. Unfortunately, Kenyon decides to sweep it all under the rug with a little manufactured magic that rends all parties involved immortal again (or for the first time, for the humans involved). I think I would have liked to see that theme continued in some of the later books rather than the quick happily ever after. ( )

A good story that is obscured by continual sexual interruption. I didn't feel I missed anything by not having read the first 6 books. I probably would read them if it weren't for all the bad sex scenes. If I could get them cheap enough, I still might, but I'm not willing to pay regular price for them. ( )
