They switched main characters and I wasn’t interested. I liked Cameron Jack, why is she not it?

I've read many Sherrilyn Kenyon before and I have never had a problem with her characters. Yet I found myself hesitant in liking Mara because she felt so wishy washy at certain points and flipped from either liking Devyl to hating him on so many occasions. She got better once she actually chose where her loyalty lay but compared to Devyl who had a constant character progression and seemed steady it was a big contrast.
Besides that, the world building was very well done. Some of the other characters from her novels popped up but she made it so the Deadmen story wasn't the same as the Dark Hunters. They were a very funny ragtag team of Deadmen who all had horror in their past that they were trying to fix and all were entertaining to read.

I'd actually give it a 3.5. While it kept me engrossed and I enjoyed the supernatural aspect of this romance book, there was just too much going on here. Too many characters, too much folklore and titles to keep up with. Also every time you thought Devyl couldn't be something else, bam, he's another type of supernatural being. Would have been nice to have some type of index at the front of the book explaining all the different types of folklore, beliefs and terms.

Another amazing novel by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I loved the pirate adventures mixed in with the Hellchasers and Thorne. Devyl is a super sexy sea captain with his crew of miscreants. Can’t wait to read the next book.

I just couldn't get into this novel. I think Sherrilyn Kenyon's young adult novels are better than her adult books.

Well, I just finished Deadmen Walking and I can only think of two words: Hot D*mn! That ending was wild and I can't wait for the next book in the Deadmen's Cross series! And if it's of the same caliber as this one, I can't even imagine what's going to happen next. Deadmen Walking was an outstanding book and I wholeheartedly loved it!
I wasn't too happy when Mara was resisting my guy, Devyl, here, but other than that I really enjoyed her as the heroine. She's a kind, gentle, sweet soul - well, she is around pretty much anyone who's not Devyl although she does change her tune. Mara might be calm and kind, but she definitely brings out her fiery, passionate side when she needs to. Mara isn't afraid to stand up to Devyl, she's fiercely loyal, and a light in the world.
I never have a problem falling in love with Sherrilyn Kenyon's heroes and Devyl was no different. The man stole my heart from the first and he only pulled me deeper under his spell the longer the tale went on. Devyl might scary and intimidating and a total bada*s, but while I loved all that, it was his tortured soul, his heartbreaking sweetness and his yearning desire to love and be loved that completely did me in. Devyl would do absolutely anything for Mara and there's so much good in him, he deserves every happiness. Devyl is just amazing and my heart wholly belongs to him.
I haven't read Ms. Kenyon as frequently as I would like lately, but even with those pauses, Deadmen Walking is still unlike anything I've read from her in awhile. It was captivating, spellbinding, and fascinating. It was heart wrenching, gut punching, and maddening, but there was humor, beauty, and a lightness to it too. This Deadmen's Cross World is so elaborate, you are really sucked in and can witness everything happening. Deadmen Walking was truly a masterpiece and I fell utterly in love with it!
Deadmen Walking is the first book in this trilogy, it's told from multiple points of view, and while Devyl and Mara get their happy ending - you will without a doubt be left wanting more!

Full of cliches. Overly complicated. Bad world building. An unbalanced ensemble of characters. I thought it was fun for the first 2/3rds of the book but by then, the flaws go to be too much. I can't recommend this book.

1.5 stars. Because I liked some of the ideas. But tbh, I skimmed the last 2 chapters. I just could not with this book! I have a shelf full of SK books that I honestly enjoyed, but this was kind of a mess.
