Finished Dark Hunter 6!

Just a quick note so as not to be forgotten! The 6th book in the Dark Hunter series as we are reading them is Vane!! Vane is a were-hunter who helped out Talon and Sunshine in their book and it ended up killing his sister in the end. This book was very interesting in the fact that it gave us a lot of insight into the weres. How there are two kinds, one that are animals primarily, who can shape shift into humans and then ones that are humans primarily, who can shape shift into animals and that they two species are kind of at war because of it and that both are some how related to Apollities...maybe I will learn more in the upcoming were books to sum it all up. I liked Vane, I liked Bride and her seize 18 big booty, it got a little cheesy at the end for me but hey? What ya gonna do!! Overall I liked this first glimpse into the were world!!

Finished Dark Hunter 7, Seize the Night

Sins of the Night is Valerious and Tabitha's love story and one of my favorites in the whole series! I think I liked this one the best!!! I really like Valerious! I think I am drawn to the Roman look, tall dark and handsome as opposed to the blond Celts, etc. I loved Zarek and I think I liked his bro, Val's story, even more because I could relate to Tabitha and her goth misfit ways more so than Zarek's love interest, Astrid. I really like how you get deeper and deeper into the Dark Hunter saga with each book! Spoiler ***Alerts to follow*** A lot happens in this book which is another reason why it kept me going! Nick dies and becomes a dark hunter? We learn that Ash is a God and that he is Apollymi's son, correct? Still not totally clear on that one...Simi does the deed! I am still confused on the growing different species of Diamons there seems to be, I believe another one was introduced, not Spathis but ones who can't die who serve Apollymi?? There are a lot of Greek names thrown about and a lot of different types of Gods, Apollites, Dark Hunters, Were-Hunters, Diamons and they live in the worlds that begin with a K that I cannot even begin to try and spell so it does get a little confusing. I wish she would just explain them a little better when they are introduced instead of throwing random sentences here and there in battle so you are not sure if you got the correct info and a lot of the names sound alike so that makes it worse! Okay, I used the work a lot a lot of times in this post so I am going to bring it to a close. Short and sweet, absolutely loved the book! loved the lovebirds this go around and LOVED how Zarek gave him his immortality...which I guess Ash set up from the get go...gotta love how this author always brings it full circle in the end. Onward to the weres!

Finished Dark Hunter 5, Kiss of the Night!

Wulf, Wulf, Wulf. This was the story about Talon's best friend Wulf and it was a very interesting one because it gave sooo much more information on Apollites, Damions, the Destroyer aka Apollymi (surely I am misspelling her name) and Ash's place in the Dark Hunter world, then we have read so far. We are really getting deep into this saga with this book. Wulf falls in love with the last living heiress of Apollo, Cassandra, one who must live because if she dies, so does Apollo and so does the sun, which translates into the end of the world! Wulf is a Viking and anyone who is not immortal will not remember him after they see or speak to him which adds to the depth of his story, his loneliness and his need for an heir since anyone from his bloodline can remember him as well. Cassandra gets pregnant early on and the plot thickens. This book started out good, had some great background information on the Dark Hunter saga but I feel like the author went on some long winded tangents I could have done without. She jumped around a bit at the end and lost me when it came to Wulf and the trickery of his soul versus Morgannie's, who I always picture as Sunshine's grandma by the way, so that is weird. She lost me a bit there and the ending seemed a little far fetched at times although I really like the fangs coming out at the end. Could have used a better description of Wulf too! It was still a sweet and necessary story but I am ready to move on and learn more about the were-hunters! Bring it on Vane and that big booty hoe! Holla!

Finished Dark Hunter 4, Dance with the Devil

This was our black sheep of the group's story, Zarek, the ex-slave with a real bad attitude! He is my favorite so far. To recap very quickly, Zarek's love interest was one of the Fates, Astrid, who was sent to judge Zarek and decide if he was a heartless animal who deserved to die as Artemis proposes. Astrid is blind and can only see if she is touching her wolf/dog Sasha. I really liked this book. It started off with a very interesting plot. I liked how it took place in Alaska in a snow storm and all of the background information we got on Ash and Artemis relationship and learned more about Apollites, and got introduced to more Dark Hunters, including Jess. I was so happy to see the truth come out about Zarek and that he did not really kill the village he was people he was banished to Fairbanks, Alaska for but that Artemis's pet did. This book was one of my favorites, it was a great ride with a lot of twists and Zarek is one sexy motha!!!

Finished Dark Hunter 3, Night Embrace!

This was the third book in the Dark Hunter series, Talon's story. I must give it to the author, she is very creative and I never see a lot of the plots coming! Talon's love interest is Sunshine, Spoiler Alert! his reincarnated wife from his Celt days. This, like her other books, Carol and I decided, starts out with a bang and then kind of slows in the middle. It was a bit of a bumpy ride for me and hard to finish and easy to put down at times. It seems like a lot of banging around. I liked all the new info on Archeon aka Ash, Zarek, my fav so far and all of the other Gods. Artemis is Calamus's sister, whose Dad is who? Then Sytxx is Ash's twin brother and the big hitter, Sunshine's grandma is Morrigan! Never saw that coming. I liked all of the connections and getting a history on this tormented hot family of the Gods. I like the new take on fangs and paranormal romance. Makes me want to watch Thor but like I said some of the stories get a little stale at times. Maybe I just wasn't a big fan of Talon, not enough of an asshole for me! lol! Plus, a girl wants a little build up before we go into the never ending hot and steamy scenes. Onward, next up Zarek and it better be good or I may need to take a rest! All and all, the book was still a nice, fast read and big on character development which is a plus in my book.
