Was reading this novel until 5am this morning, 5 hours straight reading. Awesome novel. Loved how the Legend of King Arthur was incorporated with a fantasy twist of magic, demons, gargoyles and gods. Thank you "Kinley MacGregor" for your work. Will start reading the next novel in line in the Lords of Avalon series ASAP =)

Esta no es la historia de los cazadores oscuros. Pero como la disfruté. Le coloco un 3 porque sentí que hubieron cosas que no se explicaron bien, como por ejemplo: Lancelot.
Al final del libro, mencionan que Morrigan (la abuela de la esposa de Talon), fue una de las que dió regalo a Arturo para gobernar bien el reino.
En todo lo demás de la historia, fue refrescante ver una heroína fuerte y decidida, nada tonta. No hizo nada dejándose llevar por su ingeniudad.
Me gustó el personaje de Blaise y Kerrigan. Ambos complejos y sencillos a la vez.
Sherrilyn tiene una gran imaginación.

Blaise’s expression remained stoic. “Does my king not like INXS?”
*wheezes*
This book is thoroughly ridiculous and yet I loved it. Lots of laughs and eye rolls were involved. It was an interesting blend of Arthurian legends, magic, and time traveling. However, I could have done without the 21st century pop culture references. They really date the book.
Blaise, the shapeshifting dragon, was the best part. If he’s in the other books I might read them when I need a laugh.
CW: Kerrigan (MMC) threatens to rape Seren (FMC) a couple of times, but never does.

Since I'm on the mood to read romance, so glad Sherrilyn Kenyon (as Kinley McGregor here) doesn't dissapoint :)

This was a strange read for me. I started off really intrigued, lost interest and stamina for it towards the mid-point but then was remotivated towards the last bit. Overall I enjoyed the experience but not enough to invest into more of the series. Just seems like a lot of work sometimes to learn the rules of a new fantasy/paranormal world.

Kinley MacGregor (better known as Sherilyn Kenyon) is one of my all time fave authors. She is an auto read for me because there is very few things I dislike about her writing. This one is no exception.
I thought the world building in this novel was great! I really want to know more about Avalon and it's denizens. Kerrigan is an alpha male who has a hidden gooey center which is always a bonus for me. I really got a kick out of his banter with Garafynn & Kerrigan's Mandrake (the name escapes me atm) is hilarious!
Book 2 is on my TBR pile, and I'm dying to read it!
