However, his human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Then, brought back against his will, Acheron became the sole defender of mankind. Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he?ll do anything to keep concealed. Until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence. Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both. War has never been more deadly... or more fun.

I have read all the Dark Hunter Series that have been written so far by Sherrilyn Kenyon, getting ready to read One Silent Night, and loved them all, but I have to say that this is by far my favorite. Couldn't put it down. I am glad that she finally gave Acheron someone to love him the way he should be loved without the abuse the he had as a human and at Artie's hands. The first part of the book in his human life brought tears with all the abuse and degrading from his human family and the last part as a god brought smiles. It also brought out the soft side of Apollymi where her son is concerned and let you know that she is a mother who loves her son more than life itself. This is a very good book! It's one that I could read again. It made you understand Acheron better and brought alot of his actions in the other stories together on the why that he wouldn't interfere in some things and tied a lot of the loose ends together about him. Hopefully there will be more to his and Torry's story in the future ones like payback to Artie and how he will now manage to get the souls of the Dark Hunters.
Kudos to Sherrilyn on this book!
Finally background on the main characters of the series. November 13, 2008
This book clarified a lot of background history on these characters to explain the relationships and why these character react and interact the way they do to each other. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and i have Stryker's book which I have not started yet. Bravo a book with some meat and potatoes substances to it the prequel of all prequels has done what the movies can never come close to doing it right and not ruining and disappointing their audience.

I have been kenyon's books avid reader. I have especially waited for Acheron to come out. In all honesty, a disappointing read. It was 400 pages of repetitive torture, so unnecc when you think about it. Very graphic as well. Very uneccessarily graphic. The heroine didn't come upto the mark. Luke warm, silly, vapid. And acheron went from alpa male factor to dweeby mushy boy. Expected so much better after such a long wait. Loved Kenyon's previous efforts, especially the book with Valerius, Zarek and Night pleasures. Too many characters, not enough depth and too much confusing history in all her recent books. Not running to stores to buy her books anymore.
An Epic and Emotional Read! November 13, 2008
I'm not going to go into an in-depth synopsis of this book as it would really take awhile. Suffice to say this story is really epic in nature and true departure from any of the other Dark Hunter books and this makes sense as this is Ash's book. And Ash is anything but ordinary.
I personally highly enjoyed this book, there is a great deal of back story...okay more than half of this title is back story and very little is about his romance but that's okay, as this give us, the reader a better position to understand and appreciate his romance. This title is very graphic and there are plenty of times you the reader may ask yourself if this is necessary. I personally believe it its...as yes, it gives Ash even more depth. This is a great read, I was absorbed for the entirety of it and feel that Kenyon did right by her mysterious hero, Acheron.
