Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Holy moly!!!! I just finished it and, WOW. It was taking me forever to read because the first 350-400 pages are all about the shitty life of Acheron before he receives his god powers. And it contained nothing but torture, pain, violence, cruelty, degradation and shattered hopes. It was hard because Ash is such a great character in all of Kenyons other books and I didn't want to read about all of his grief. But you have to read about the bad shit to truly appreciate when the good happens. Part 1 of the book also told the story of how the gods were involved in his life.

Part 2 was like any other Dark-Hunter book, except it was all about Acheron. And I love happy endings!!! That's all I'll say about that, because I know some of you might some day read this book. And if you reallllly like Kenyons other stories, or had a interest in mythology (atlantean or greek), then you would appreciate this book. I really enjoyed it.

I've been busy, busy reading, that is.

#1- Kitty Takes a Holiday by Carrie Vaughn. I'm really growing to like this series. This is the third book in the series and it was great. Kitty is a werewolf with her own radio talk show called The Midnight Hour. She takes calls from vampires, werewolves, withces, things like that. In this one she's taken some time off to write her memoirs but she runs into a few problems. A friend of hers is bitten by a werewolf, she is cursed by some locals, and another friend is charged with murder. I think a lot of book club gals would like this series. The first book wasn't the best but the second and third were much better. I have the first three if anyone wants to give 'em a try.

#2-Dream Chaser by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I didn't enjoy this one very much. It follows the same formula as any of Kenyons other Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter novels, so I kinda figured out what was goind to happen. The only thing that kept me reading was that Acheron was in the story. He made it better. This was just a little taste of the Dark Hunter/Dream Chaser world to tide fans over until Acherons book come out this summer. At least that's how I felt. Also, not very much sex, especially compared to some of the other books.
