I liked the beginning of the book. As all Sherrilyn Kenyon books I call for not only the heroes but the villian too. But then the lead heroine does which I don't really have a problem with cause Sherrilyn always comes though at the end of the story. But then I have read about other couples who already had their story. I don't want to hear Jo and Cadegn again. I don't want to hear from Max and his wife Seraphina (not looking forward to reading about them at all. Especially Sera.) Then when Illarion and Edilyn are reunited it's at the end of the book. I don't even know much about them.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Ending made it worth the read
Best part of this book is the ending. I wasn't a fan in the beginning of the book and I wasn't too sure of reading this book after the last dragon book about Illy however this one turned out better. I enjoyed reading this book but I think she could have done better with him being a God. He just didn't seem to be a big deal. And I didn't realize madea was such a badass until the end either. But I still think it's worth the read especially for the ending.

Bien, la verdad es que aún estoy en shock con ese final. Apolo se comporta como un maldito hdp como siempre. Pero hablaré del resto de libro. Medea es muy, muy genial como protagonista, hace mucho no adoraba a una chica patea traseros, como adoro a Sam o a Tabitha, además es una villana super genial, desde que apareció en el libro de Stryker me interesaba su personaje. Y Falcyn, por los dioses, Falcyn es un amor, lo adoro mucho, mucho, y otro protagonista super poderoso patea traseros, y ambos se merecen la felicidad que consiguieron en este libro. Adoré las interacciones de mi precioso mandrágora BLAISE y de Urian, es que son únicos, adoro su sarcasmo y a Urian, sobretodo por que su libro es el siguiente y moriré de amor, lo sé.
Hace mucho no me gustaba un libro así de bastante, no desde el libro de Dev y Samia, la trilogía de los dragones no ha estado tan, tan genial pero este fue hermoso. Y sé que el de Urian será mucho mejor.
Bye.

Ugh this one was difficult .. I never felt like I was reading a full story but small snippets from 4 different stories told in 4 different timelines and for about 3/4 of the book nothing was making sense!!
You start out with what looks like Edilyn and Illarion’s story and boom they are banished to some hell realm and within one page she dies??
Then we go into Jo and Cade for awhile
Then thrown over to Max and Seraphina
Then Illarion and Max
Then boom Edilyn is alive
Seriously half the time I had no clue where or when or who we were with

This is going to be a gut wrenching review
I can’t believe what has happened to one of my all-time favorite series. Sherilyn Kenyon dark hunter series has always been and will always be my all-time favorite, but the last few books I have struggled to get through.
I can’t even tell you what even happened in this book because I anger read through the entire thing.
It starts out with Falcyn, Urian, Blaise, and Medea all at the Sanctuary. I can’t even explain the conversations they were having it felt like the same person was talking even though it was four or five different people in a conversation. The nonstop snarky one line comments that went back-and-forth between them almost made me shut this book and never pick it up again.
I can’t even tell you how many times I said to myself “who the heck wrote this book, it can’t be Sherrilyn Kenyon this is not her style of writing”. I struggled throughout this entire book to understand where they were, who was talking to who, what the whole point of the book was!
A few times I had to go onto SK’s website and look up characters because they were constantly bringing up a character and giving a summary of their backstory that had nothing to do with this story, but I would be confused and so I would look them up and try to remember who they were, just to find out that they were a character from the lords of Avalon book series. I felt like she was forcing us to have to read the lords of Avalon series - while calling this book a dark hunter novel.
I know SK has had some personal problems but I never thought it would affect her writing the way that it has I feel like the last great book was STYXX - And since then she’s been trying to bring in this lords of Avalon book series into the dark hunter world and all the stories are jumbled together and now these books have so many characters with so many back stories that she’s constantly bringing up and reminding you of that it loses the actual story that’s going on in the book that you’re reading.
I don’t know if I’m going to pick up the next book anytime soon this book has left me so depressed with what is happening in this world, and with one of my most favorite beloved stories.

I love this series, I really do, but I'm so glad I got this from the library instead of paying for it.
The beginning is great. It's info we already kind of know, but the details are awesome.
Then comes the middle part. Literally probably two-thirds of the book is just going over the previous two books again. I liked those books, but they are not what I was interested in.
The last 30 pages contain the only new information. This SHOULD NOT have been a book. It should have been a short story. Easily the worst in the series, if only because there's almost nothing to it.

If you don't mind that more than 60% of this story is actually copy-pasted text of the previous two books in this series, this story is okay.

Kenyon is still marching to her own drum and bringing a new bunch to the Dark Hunter world with this subset of her characters.
My only fault with her last few books is that there is too much overlap with previous material so that is seems like I'm just reading the same book as before from a different perspective.
