"Dark Side of the Moon", by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I finished reading book 10 this past weekend.  I liked this story, however, I cannot say it was one of my favorites.  

This is Ravyn Kontis's story.  He is a Dark-Hunter, but was born an Arcadian Were-Hunter.  He was converted, as upon his death, his human side screamed loudly enough in betrayal, as Artemis got the message and came to offer him his "act of vengeance" in return for joining her army.  What does that mean for Ravyn?  He now becomes the enemy of his family who survived.  His Were-Hunter family who will not tolerate him as a Dark-Hunter. 

 

Ravyn, basically has not family, even though his family lives , as they are Were-Hunters and can live for 100's of years.  

He falls upon Susan Michaels, who shares his same characteristic of having no family.  The only family she has, are two friends, Angie and Jimmy.  Their chance meeting actually happens while Ravyn is in cat form, but it is not long until Susan finds out, and "the cat is out of the bag"... could not help myself.  

Ravyn ends up at her house, where he ends up in human "naked" form where he finds out that Susan works for Leo Kirby ( a well know squire) and confuses her "work" as not the newspaper cover up job Leo has, but as her actually being a squire.  Hence, Susan learns A LOT she was not supposed to learn in a short period of time.  Thus, Susan gets the choice of being inducted as squire or death. Which one would you choose? 

There is an underground operation going on in Seattle, that Susan and Ravyn must discover to save the lives of many Dark-Hunters.  There is some death which you will read about, then there is some death that does not end up so much , but maybe death in a whole other way (no spoilers, I am trying).

  

Savitar and Nick show up in this book again, and well, things are not looking so good for little Nicky.  Poor guy, what a fate he has been served, but really, he should just suck it up and get over it, or I am afraid he is going to be in WAY over his head... oh wait, no spoilers, can't tell you that in this book he does start treading water.

All in all, it was a good read.  Some interesting things here and there and a few twists along the way.  Susan is a bit too sarcastic for my liking, but like Ravyn says, it is her defense mechanism.  

The end of this one leaves the door open for so much more to come. I think that is what I liked most about it. It ends, with you knowing Sherrilyn had a whole lot still in store for me.  I like it!!  "Welcome to my hell," ~ Stryker
