Cindy D. (ladybird) reviewed WOW!! Did not disappoint! A must for all DH fans!! on 12/10/2008 + 44 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 3

As an avid Dark Hunter fan (and Acheron in particular), I had been fantasizing about Acheron's story FOREVER! This book did not disappoint at all. As other reviews have stated, the first half is about Acheron's mortal life and is heartbreaking. The second half of the book is present tense, where he meets his heroine. How do you come up with a heroine suitable for a man/god such as Acheron? SK does it nicely! I could not have come up with a better heroine for Acheron (unless it was myself!) than Soteria. She was intelligent, compassionate, and gentle with my beloved Acheron. I also enjoyed the fact that SK made Acheron less imposing and more 'human'. There were times when I laughed out loud (the image of Acheron clumsily falling off a ladder, and landing on his nicely shaped butt! or using his god powers to make his cell phone ring to get out of an uncomfortable situation). Much of Acheron's peculiarities were explained in this book, and I look forward to seeing him appear in future books, to see how his 'happily ever after' continues to play out. The only thing I would have changed was the heroine's rebuttal to Artemis. Not nearly vicious enough for my bloodthirsty nature!! I plan on rereading many of the earlier DH books, now that I know the reasons for much of Acheron's behavior.
