"Sins of the Night", by Sherrilyn Kenyon


I am starting book 8 of the Dark-Hunter series this weekend.  I guess this is the story of a female Dark-Hunter called Dangereuse St. Richard.  I cannot remember having come across this name before in the other books, so not sure where this one is going.  As always, I will post back with my review.

I finished book 8 last night. I really liked this one, as it tied some of the beginning stuff to the here and now, as well as gave us some insight into Acheron.  This is where having read "The Beginning" at the following link, http://www.dailyinquisitor.com//hunter/release.htm, would be useful to understand where Alexion comes from and what happened to him when he became a Dark-Hunter. I really recommend reading that story first or even now, if you have already read this one.

So... this is the story of Danger (a.k.a. Dangereuse St. Richard), a french Dark-Huntress that resides in Mississippi.  Apparently, one of the Dark-Hunters of Mississippi has gone rogue and is feeding off of human blood, then giving the souls to the daimons.  He is the only one who has gone as far as taking human life, but the others are attempting to be swayed to the daimon side with the help of Stryker.  Stryker had solicited Kyros, one of the first three dark hunters created, to help him call the hunters of the area to rid of Acheron. 

So, in comes the Alexicon.  The Alexicon is responsible for ending the lives of rogue dark-hunters.  He lives in Katoteros with Acheron and Simi, but he is a very unique individual , but I will let you read about that , as not to spoil it for you.  He is sent by Acheron to decide if the Dark-Hunters of Mississippi can be saved, or which ones have gone rogue and must be destroyed.  He is sent to stay with Danger, as she is the one who summoned Acheron's help with the matter.

There are some new characters introduced here, as well as some we already know.  Simi, of course, makes her spotlight here as well as another demon you will meet that has some history you will learn about, neat stuff.  The fate of Kyros and several Dark-Hunters are at stake here, and the Alexicon is the only one who can determine help them decide what their fate will be.  Anyone who threatens Acheron, he will destroy and ask questions later. 

Of course, there are those share of steamy pages, with do you need to ask which love interest come to life here?  But... how is a Dark-Huntress to live eternity in love with an "other"?  You must read on to find out.  In Sherrilyn's world, where there's a will, there is a way.  Another great look into the world of the Dark-Hunters.  Until next time..."Have you ever noticed that salvation, much like you car keys, is usually found where and when you least expect it?" - Acheron
