I received this book by mistake. Since I had heard good things about Kenyon's books and hadn't read any, I thought I'd give it a read before returning it. Meh... kind of bland. At first it was engaging with all the different gods and demons, but then it just lost my interest. It wasn't bad, however. It piqued my curiosity enough to give her books another go. ( )

This one was ok. I don't like the dream hunters as much as I like the dark hunters, but what can you do. This book was pretty hot and I liked the characters, there was good development and they were just fun. ( )

Xypher is a half god/half demon and a Phobotory Skotos who used to bring nightmares to others before he was betrayed and spent centuries in his own nightmare of torment by the god, Hades. When Hades grants Xypher one month of freedom to seek revenge on his betrayer, he is determined that nothing will stop him.

Simone Dubois is a teacher and medical examiner whose insights into the strange and unusual give her the ability to help solves crimes of the most horrendous nature. While at a crime scene she is suddenly accosted by a herd of daimons and saved by the wildest man she could have imagined. Now their lives are bound together and both Xypher and Simone have to learn to help each other to keep themselves alive.

This Dream Hunter story was definitely a step up from the last I read, although it still doesn't match the quality of some of her former Dark Hunter novels. I enjoyed the characters, particularly Jesse, the ghost and I really liked the relationship between Jesse and Simone. It didn't hurt that I was also a teen of the '80s and loved many of the music and groups that Kenyon named during the course of the book. I liked Xypher too, but I did feel his complete personality about face was rather sudden. I think it would have been more believable if it had been a more gradual shift. The part with the Charonte demons sparked a memory and its driving me a little crazy trying to remember where they came in to this series before. Oh well, that's the curse of a bad memory!

Overall I did enjoy the story although it did seem quite reminiscent of a few of her past books and I continue to look forward to continuing on with the series. ( )

Xypher has a month to redeem himself and he enlists the help of Simone Dubois, an ME who uses her psychic abilities to help find evidence to convict killers.

It's pretty predictable but I find her series great fun. The adventure is good and the romance interesting. ( )
