A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he’d spend eternity protecting the humans he’d once considered prey.

Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief- Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters and training for the day when she meets the man who killed her family: Jess Brady.

A gun in the hand is worth two in the holster...

Jess has been charged with finding and terminating the creature who’s assassinating Dark-Hunters. The last thing he expects to find is a human face behind the killings, but when that face bears a striking resemblance to the one who murdered him centuries ago, he knows something evil is going on. He also knows he’s not the one who killed her parents. But Abigail refuses to believe the truth and is determined to see him dead once and for all.

Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, they must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they’ve sworn to protect.

I am going to have to rate this book a little different. The story is great. I loved the characters the powers they had to use and I really enjoyed the Indian heritage brought to the plate. I also was very thankful that there wasn’t a bunch of new characters added to keep up with. You’ll find humor, adventure and danger, with all of this mixed together it made this one a fast pace read. So, for the story I give a 4.

Now, for the romance I have to give a 2. Yep, this one feel very short in the romance. I never felt one spark between Jess and Abigail and at times I never felt anything believable about them being together. Don’t expect a hot romance in this story.

I really hate to go more to the story with such a big description for the book. I do want to tell you a little that goes on. Jess knew Abigail when she was a baby and kid after her parents accident (which you’ll have to read to find out what happened) he lost track of her after that, until one day he came face to face with Abigail which wasn’t as much fun as he would have liked. I have to admit it took me a bit to warm up to this idea and I really don’t know why, but it creeped me out. LOL Abigail has a thing for Jess, but it’s not want you think she wants him dead. After taking the wrong advice she has open a can of worm so to speak and now she has to turn to the one who she hates to get her out of the mess she has gotten into.

I liked Jess, he strong and caring. Abigail well she tends to hold way to much of a grudge and wont drop it. After a while it got boring.

At the end you’ll find a bonus scene for Asheron and Troy’s birth of their son. It was good except for one instance. I didn’t care for Artemis being there one bit, but that’s me:)

DEADLY PROMISES
Review: 4 - A Pack Howl
Sexual: 3 - Hot!
A spicy tale where both the Hero and Heroine are keeping secrets from each other. Another great addition to the B.A.D. Agency Series. The writing is fast paced and the suspense is riveting. The sex is passionate and the relationship between the H/h is appealing.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Review: 5 - An Alpha Howl
Sexual: 2 - Steamy
A heart-pounding rescue that picked me up by the seat of my pants and didn’t set me down until the last page was turned. David Cavanaugh is a rock-hard hero who knows when he has reached his limit and isn’t afraid to admit defeat. GAWD -- he is so sworn worthy! Carrie Granger may be a Southern Belle, but she is no wilting daisy.

“Carrie.” His breath was warm against her lips as she lifted her face to his. “You don’t want to do this.”
“What I don’t want to do,” she whispered, standing on her tiptoes and wrapping both arms around his neck, “is regret that I didn’t.”

UNSTOPPABLE
Review: 3 - One Good Howl
Sexual: 2 - Steamy
As a favor to his CO, a Navy SEAL on leave becomes the bodyguard of a nerdy forensic anthropologist. Suspense-lite and even lighter romance. Even so, this was a very enjoyable read.


Now, (you know me and anthologies.....) either authors are getting much better at writing short stories, or I’m more fortunate in picking anthologies. I initially borrowed this from the library, but since then have added it to my own library. Honestly, I only wanted to read JUST BAD ENOUGH by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love because I adore their B.A.D. Agency Series. Now, I’m kicking myself!!! I have had Ms. Gerard’s Black Ops Series on my TBR bookshelf for some time now. You know, waiting for that right moment to start the series --to get round to it.

This Anthology Rocked!

Review No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon

No Mercy Dark Hunter #18 and Were- Hunter #6
Author Sherrilyn Kenyon
Paranormal romance
Hardback 343 pgs
Authors website

Live fast, fight hard and, if you have to die, then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power--one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.

The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

As a huge Dark-Hunter fan this one didn’t cut it with me. I was very disappointed. Again this one is nothing like the books pre Acheron. I wish if the books are going to keep up with this pace Kenyon would go ahead and finish the series.

Again you get a lot of new of new characters you have to keep up with like this series doesn’t have enough then there is the added of all the different new gods and new demons. Like does anyone know who Lazarous is? There is so much Mythology going on that I forget who is who in a year, so anyone really needs a guide in each book of who is who.

What I was most disappointed with is the sex and romance you get a couple halfway scenes and you remember the mating scene you get with the were- hunters? Well its not in this one, so you miss that too Garr……

Then there is the lack of detail in a lot of different scenes. It would leave one that just picked up this book with out reading the rest of the series going WHAT! This book left me questing more than I should.

Then there is Nick when is Kenyon going to let him grow up and take what happens to him as life not someone else fault..

Now as for Sam and Dev they are very good together if their romance was let grow it would have been fantastic. Sam and Dev were fun the way they would cut up with each other but again you really don’t read them as much as you should its everyone else.

Stryker is as always up to no good, so you get lots of action and plenty of blood. I just hope book twenty will be better. I really feel like the Dark Hunters has been put on the back burner.

Spoilers
As I keep thinking about this book the more I don’t like it. It just seems to me Kenyon is letting Nick get the upper hand to where he is going to take Acheron place. Acheron even make a statement in this book that “Nick may one day kill him“. But what gets my goat the most is I know Ash has had a bad past life those of you that read his book knows what he went through and he never wanted a D-H to know about it, now all the sudden things are popping out one is Sam now knows Acheron was a whore. It just makes me feel like Kenyon is going to somehow take Acheron down and its not going to be good and I not going to be reading that one at all.

If you’re a Dark Hunters fan like me this one is not to be missed.You get

2.Second chances with Ash and Styxx.
3.The Promise
4.Fear of Darkness which is Nicks story and
5.The angel Fear to Trend with Zeak
These short sorties tie up all lose ends that you may have been missing, they dont take long to read. I enjoyed them all. The videos are awesome I always love hear what Kenyon has to say. This was very easy and fun to use. I’m like most of you love to have a book, but sometimes I need a little something different and this was it. Plus these books are getting harder to find, in fact three of these are not in book that I can find. It was well worth it just to see the videos. This is for I-PHONE, IPAD or Online.

Book description
At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is the stuff of legends. . .until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.

Nick quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one: a world where the captain of the football team is a werewolf and the girl he has a crush on goes out at night to stake the undead.

But before he can even learn the rules of this new world, his fellow students are turning into flesh eating zombies. And he’s next on the menu.

As if starting high school isn't hard enough. . .now Nick has to hide his new friends from his mom, his chainsaw from the principal, and keep the zombies and the demon Simi from eating his brains, all without getting grounded or suspended. How in the world is he supposed to do that?

This is totally a young adult book. If your looking for something like the dark hunters series, its not here, so you don’t get the romance and hardcore action. I would recommend this book to people who read YA books, but if YA is not your cup of tea like me, well you may want to read more than a couple of reviews before buying. There is action, and humor and teens that turns into zombies, yep, picture it, some of the football team as zombies coming after to kill Nick.

Nick starts out as a loser. With his mom being a striper he ends up getting bullied all the time. One time some teen starts teasing Nick, he gets kicked out of school because of fighting that teen. That night he ends up in with some kids that tries to rob an old couple, he starts thinking this is not a good idea and ends up with the Teens beating the crap out of him, until Kyrian steps in. From there you’ll find there is someone after him and sending Zombies to kill him.

You’ll see a few D-H in here, even Artemis makes an appearance. There is a few new characters you’ll meet one is Bubba. I really liked Bubba, he has two rules 1. "Shoot first then ask questions". 2. "Double tap just for good Measure". "Better safe than sorry". Bubba adds a lot of humor. He is the reason I had added a star to this rating.

You’ll find a few things about Nick from the D-H’s told in more detail and some loose ends taken care of. But as a D-H reader I found Nick’s life not the same as portrayed as in the D-H books. Other than that I found the book dragged and was too boring. I want to stress if I was a YA reader that had never read the D-H series, my rating would be a lot higer.
