Audio- It was a roller-coaster ride through hell and back much of it on the shoulders of a little boy. There were just too many details of torture for me to have enjoyed this book. I think part 2 was a decent attempt to bring some 'life' to this poor character, but I just couldn't stop "seeing' what was done before.
I may be done with the series. I am taking a break from it.

This book is WAYYY too long. I appreciate that we finally get Acheron’s backstory but the first book (his human life) was just soooo long. And also very difficult to read. Kenyon is the queen of tragic backstories, but I think her dragging it out made it much more difficult to read.
At first I was disappointed that the story was told from his sister’s point of view, but as I read I saw the necessity of it.
I also wasn’t thrilled about his present-day love story. I loved her profession and her connection to Italy and Acheron’s past, but I expected more from Acheron’s tale. It also seemed kind of rushed after book one.

Acheron, book 27 of the Dark-Hunters/Were-Hunters/Dream Hunters series, by Sherrilyn Kenyon (McQueen) @mysherrilyn. This is a reread of this series for me. Long overdue, at that! 😂 I am reading this series in the order from Sherrilyn’s website.
I cried so much with this book. Heartbreaking. Acheron was tormented as a human & Artemis is a horrible person. Acheron meets & falls in love with Tory & Tory falls in love with him & vows to protect him with everything she has. Amazing book. Just fantastic. If you like Atlantis, Greek mythology, MF, gods & goddesses & a forever love, then you will love this book.

I read this book before reading fantasy lover. It was boring so I stopped reading it. I thought maybe I needed to read the first few books to understand it, but I read the first few pages of fantasy lover and decided these books are not worth my time.

My favorite book. I love the character back story that makes you truly understand the fault of man and the triumph of hope. The hilarious snippets from the drab humor to the historical retelling of ancient myths make you keep turning the pages until the very end....and then there are 40 more books to help quench your thirst.

Part 1: Painful to read. To the point that it made me angry.
Part 2: Light, fluffy, amateurish and in many instances, eye-roll-worthy...as if it had been written by a completely different person. It was far worse than Part 1. In fact, it made Part 1 seem good, after reading this one.
No longer interested in reading the rest of the series.

Absolutely the strongest in the series!!! In the first part I couldn't stop shedding tears - this part is so heart-breaking, that it takes your breath away. The plot is built brilliantly - every detail means something and is perfectly interwoven in the narration. The second part is easier in the emotional way, but charming and endearing, like the progression of Acheron and Tori's relationships. I loved it with all my heart! A must-read!!!
