At Death's Door: A Deadman's Cross Novel (Deadman's Cross, 3)

Val was betrayed, tortured and turned into something else that was not how she was made. She lost her love, her life, her body, her trust and her soul. What else could the Gods take from her ? Not much so they give her something precious back and then bargain/blackmail her to let her keep a touch of what she wants. It’s not a good bargain, it’s a dark one feed on hate, lies and revenge. Finding the truth and fighting for her heart will make or break her.
I love this series of haunted pirates and demons. It’s got all the elements I love in a book, adventure, blood, tears, strong women, magic, Acheron and other hot men. Sigh~ Acheron

Sherrilyn Kenyon’s AT DEATH'S DOOR (Deadman's Cross #3) is a pirate fantasy set in her Dark-Hunter world. In this story, Valynda Moore is trapped in the body of a voodoo doll. Along with the crew of Deadmen, she is tasked with fighting demons and locking the Malachai away. Meanwhile, Nibo is trying to win back Valynda’s affection.

AT DEATH'S DOOR is an entertaining and exciting read. At times, this series reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. They both have a lot of humor and action. Sherrilyn Kenyon does a great job with her plot and character development. Nibo and Valynda have considerable chemistry. There were interesting twists in the novel. I like that Sherrilyn Kenyon includes characters from her other series. show more Especially, Acheron (Dark-Hunter) who is one of my favorites.

I appreciated that at the end of the story it explained how the Dark-Hunters, Were-Hunters, and Hellchasers end up headquartered in New Orleans. I recommend this story to Dark-Hunter fans and people who enjoy pirate fantasies. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. show less

This is more a 3 1/2 star review. I love Sherrilyn’s worlds, but this felt so cramped with so many plots trying to play out as this trilogy was ending. I just couldn’t make a connection. Knowing this came at a time she was still struggling, I give her all the grace in the world. Can’t wait for the new stories to play out in the coming books.
