Canyon, Sherrilyn - Upon The Midnight Clear

A Dream-Hunter story. Dolor, the god of Pain, has been summoned back into the human realm. Donnie wants his brother tortured and made to suffer unimaginable misery before he dies. He wants him screaming and begging for mercy. This is Dolor's specialty but he requires payment of blood and bones first. Without hesitating, Donnie slits his cellmate's throat.

Dolor's release from centuries of being trapped, awakens Leta, the dream-hunter that had trapped him. Leta is determined to prevent Dolor from wreaking pain and misery on the human race. She identifies his target, Aidan O' Conner, and contacts him.

Aidan is a bitter, angry movie star that has exiled himself to a lonely mountain where he wallows in his misery. He has decided that he needs no people around just to betray him. He has had enough that.

But, of course, the beautiful Leta and the gorgeous Aidan fall in love and defeat Pain!

An interesting addition to this book is a special holiday note from Sherrilyn Kenyon wishing her fans Happy Holidays.

Her gift? Vignettes to catch her readers up on what the characters from her previous books are doing before hesding off to Xyper's book (Dream Chaser) and Ash's book in 2008. Also a quick caveat, there are spoilers here if you haven't read the previous books, including Devil May Care.

Sub-par for Kenyon. I had trouble staying with it until half-way through. Do not read this book if you have never read Sherrilyn Kenyon before. Her Dark-Hunter series is very good but no more Dream-Hunters for me.
