Product Description

The most anticipated story in the blockbuster Dark-Hunter series. The never-before-revealed story of the Dark-Hunter leader, Acheron.  He was made human in order to escape death, but in death he was reborn a god. . .

 Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. 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.

Acheron Review
I really enjoy reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's novels. Her characters are well constructed and I was looking forward to reading this book to learn more about the elusive Ash. I was disappointed by the all the graphic descriptions of rape, incest, and sexual exploitation of a child. I felt that the story could have been just as inventive and interesting with the life of Ash without all the sex scenes involving a child being constantly molested. This book disappointed me a great deal. The only redeeming thing was that there was a happy ending. I would have preferred to have never read this book and allowed Ash to continue to be elusive.
 
A very good example of an author "jumping the shark"
I've been waiting for Acheron's story for a while, and although this does "fill in the blanks" of many points in his backstory, I can't help feel as though SK wrote it as though it was an exorcism of her own personal demons. I paid good money to read a story, not work through the author's psychotherapy session.

Sorry; I know much writing is autobiographical but...come on! And the extra "deleted scenes" at the back of the book...what's up with that? A giant brain dump?

Overall, the book exhibited a striking lack of discipline on the part of the author. It could have been a great book; sadly, no one reined Ms. Kenyon in when she'd jumped the shark, and that blame rests squarely with her editors.
 
Acheron
This is the greatest book ive ever read in my time,Sherrilyn Kenyon outdone herself on Acheron the long awaited Darkhunter novel.Ive already read it 3 times
 
Great read!
I liked this book very much. I think it would appeal to fans of the Dark Hunter series and those new to Sherrilyn Kenyon alike (although I believe it was more eagerly anticipated by the former group). I don't think any of the regular fans should be daunted by the book's length because it is more like two books in one: Acheron's background and then his current day struggle. Either way, I finished it quickly and look forward to reading it again. Highly recommended!
 
Fantastic
Fantastic! Finally we learn about Acheron and it was worth the wait. I couldn't put it down.
