Great condition no damage at all

I got the urge to reunite the family cuz Acheron on was feeling lonely in my bookshelf 🤣

Sherrilyn does it again

Just when you think that there's no possible way that Sherrilyn Kenyon's books could get even better, she delivers the Devil May Cry. This book does justice to the Dark Hunter series and the suspense and sexual tension is out of this world. After reading every single one of her novels, I thought that this book would just be a carbon copy of maybe one of her previous books since there's nothing "new" that she could write about, right? Well, boy was I wrong. I would definitely rate this as a 5-star book and am anxiously awaiting her next novel. Sherrilyn's writing is fantastic, the sex scenes are fantastic and the plot is fantastic. BUY THIS BOOK!

finally

It took 11 novels, but we finally get to understand Ash. Why is he tied to Artemis? Who is Katra and how is she connected to Ash and Artemis? I must admit it was worth the wait and it was not what I was expecting. You'll be happy to know Simmi is back in this one. I just love that character, she cracks me up (especially with her bar-be-que sauce). I won't say more, because I would hate to ruin the plot. I will say it was great and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ash is back, and he's kicking...rear! This book brings back the power of the the earlier DH stories

There was a winning formula to the early DH novels that has come back to make "Devil May Cry" an excellent story: Sin is a powerful yet tormented hero with a tragic past of betrayal during the ancient times of mythical gods. For centuries he has risked himself to protect the human race from demons. With the body of a god ( in fact he used to be one), dressed in black leather and armed with wicked weapons, Sin fights against a whole different type of demon. He and Ash are the only men in existence who have been able to stop the "Gallu Demons" from destroying the earth. These evil demons don't only kill any being they bite, they turn their victims into one of their own. With the power to reproduce so quickly, the Gallu are nearly the biggest threat to mankind. The only worse species are the "Dimme". These demons, who were imprisoned by Sin centuries ago, are about to break free. The Gallu are hoping to help free the Dimme. With Ash trapped by his promise to serve Artemis, Sin is fighting alone. Katra has the blood of three strong gods/ goddesses in her veins. She is a mighty force against evil. Unfortunately, she looks a lot like her mother. Sin has waited for centuries to kill the goddess who stole his god powers. When he entraps Katra, he is sure he has captured his ancient nemesis. When Katra learns of how her mother had taken Sin's powers, she decides to work by his side to make things right. She will help him fight the Gallu and Dimme. As Sin and Katra become attracted to each other, she decides she will also give him the ultimate gift. Over the following weeks, the powerful couple works together to beat back the Gallu, rescue Sin's twin brother(Zakar)from the Gallu leader, and stop the Dimme from escaping their prison. The battle includes recruiting the help of the Dream- Hunters, the Charonte demons (including Simi), The Dolophoni (warriors who serve the gods), a human friend, and even a Daimon. Acheron and his mother, Apollymi the goddess of evil, lend help and healing when all seams lost. When Katra is bitten by a Gallu, and she begins to transform, Sin is willing to make a huge sacrifice to save her. With Acheron's help, Sin bonds himself to Katra for life. From that moment, she can only survive on his blood. When the greatest battle is upon them, Artemis is finally convinced to free Acheron from his servitude. With his inner beast thirsty for blood, Acheron jumps into the fight. Combining their powers and knowledge, Sin, Acheron, Katra, Zakar, and all of their allies, enter the realm of the evil demons in a heroic attempt to save humanity. With all of this excitement occurring, there is still plenty of time given to the romance between Sin and Katra. As always, Kenyon's love scenes do not disappoint. Throughout the book we get a clearer history of Acheron's past and his connection with Artemis, ties are revealed between past characters, and family bonds are built. One of the things I was most happy about, w

Questions answered

Man, I just love it when an author releases a book in a series that answers a lot of questions. Kenyon has given us answers in spades here: who is Katra, why is Ash tied to Artemis, what is Savitar, and more. Wonderful, action packed story with the steamy romance readers have come to expect from Kenyon. My only disappointment? Kenyon introduced a "Dream-Hunter," Xipher, who I actually want to know more about (not like the disappointing Arik), that won't get his own book until 2008. Now, please bring on Ash's story, so people can stop griping that the last two books "have too much Ash," "have too little Ash," or just weren't his story.

more Ashe!

Got this book yesterday, finished in 5 hours. Love it! Sin, the ex-god of the Sumerian is out for revenge on Atermis for stealling his godhood. He ends up capturing Katra. The two Joint together to save the world from the Gallu, a new breed of evil. In between saving the world as we know it, we will find out Katra's family history.The bantering between the two main characters is typical Sherilyn Kennyon's. That's why I love reading her books.Not only it's funny but there are so many times I cried I lost count. You'll find out so much more about Acheron. I can't wait for Ashes's book to come out. After finished the book, I'm upset that I have to wait so long for the next book. If you love this series, go out and get this book ASAP. It's worth every penny I paid.
