Product Description
The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron. He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . . Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind. Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he’ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence. Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both. War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

 Best of the Best October 11, 2008
I have read everyone of the DH series, and have fell in love with each and every character. So as you can see, I was so ready for Ash's book to be released. I pre-order and waited. The day it arrived i was as giddy as a young bride on her wedding night.. I could not wait to begin Ash's journey. The moment I sat down to read, I cried, I got upset and slammed the book down, refusing to read more. Yet, I had to know his story. I picked it back up and continued to read. By far, this is the best book, I have ever read. I,Michelle, take my hat off to you, Ms.Sherrilyn Kenyou.You are a Master writer. Please never stop writing stories.Please continue to publish books, that make us feel as if we are living that life. Thank you for giving so many of us an escape fromour own realities!
The best yet! October 11, 2008
I LOVED this book. I think the first 400 pages detailing Ash's early life were much needed. So often in the DH novels I'll be thinking "OK, so you had a bad time, get over it and trust this girl" By detailing Ash's tragedies, I realized why that isn't always going to be easy. The DH's are not all stubborn, sometimes they, like Ash, have just learned from their past. This is the best DH novel yet, I have read it twice in the last week.Also, I wasn't as big a fan of Ash's as my friends, but his book totally changed my mind.
Acheron October 10, 2008
I couldn't wait for this book to come out and it didn't disapoint! You have to read the others in the series before you attempt this one, otherwise you won't understand the characters. Acheron has been my favourite character throughout the dark-hunter books and I was glad when his book game out. This is proberly the most emotional book i have ever read. The first half had me in tears but the second half is a lovely love story. This is definitely worth the time to read because it has to be my favourite dark-hunter novel. So if you have read the others in the series then you MUST read Acheron (but have the tissues at hand!)
 The first half...heartwrenching....second half...well I feel cheated. October 8, 2008
Let me just say I am a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter books. I enjoy the action...the love story and the SEX! That being said the first part of this book wasnt her norm. But it was GOOD. I almost cried through the whole thing....heartwrenching is the only way to describe it. I fell in love with Acheron and couldnt put the book down. Then I hit "present day" and boy was I disapointed. The 'heroine' was just irritating. Sherilyn tried to make her strong but it came across as odd and fake. She just didnt seem like the right mtach for Acheron at all. Acheron didnt seem like himself either. Its to bad because I loved the first half of this book. But all in all I still love this series and will continue reading and reccommending it.
Little Else Can Be Said.... October 8, 2008
I don't think I can elaborate on this anymore than the other reviews. I just know that it was a emotional experience for me, I cried and cried, then laughed and rejoiced all for one character. I don't think that I have ever done that with another book. I know some people didn't like the first part, but it made brought alot of things into perspective with the whole series.
Loved it!
