I’m so bad. I haven’t written a post in a week. To be fair, it’s been a long week for me.
Anyway! The Dark-Hunter series, by Sherrilyn Kenyon, has quickly become a favorite series for me. I never, ever thought I would get into reading romance novels. Apparently I like them if they are paranormal-romance. The characters are fun, some more than others, and I love her writing style. Acheron, Vane, and The Simi are my favorites, followed up by a couple of other characters which isn’t entirely surprising given the popularity of Ash and Simi. But gimme some Vane and mmm!
It’s no real secret that I adore Greek mythology. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to the myths and the entities. At first I was a little leery about the Gods making appearances–especially Artemis’ role–but after awhile it becomes so commonplace that I easily accepted the author’s version and the world she has created. None of the books in the series, and there are many, have been boring to me. They have all held my attention easily and I have been able to devour a book in a single day. Sure, things become a little… overplayed… but when you look at the whole picture of the world itself? So interesting! I am currently reading the long-awaited book Acheron and am only just shy of 60 pages in. I am transfixed by what little I have read so far and have had to force myself to put the book down on several occasions before I became too engrossed. If I do not force myself to slow down, I will lose all track of time and wind up not sleeping. Again.
Give the books a chance, if you’re looking for something new. It starts off timeline-wise with Fantasy Lover and it is difficult to pin down the correct reading order. But the author herself even states that the books can be read out of order without confusing the reader too much.
Now excuse me while I go off to read a couple more chapters…
