Summary: AMAZING- Getting better every book.
Review: Sherrilyn Kenyon has done it again! With this third Dark-Hunter book -Dance with the Devil- she has taken the DH world and expanded it into a living breathing thing. I loved everything about this novel especially the surprise relating to Zarick at the end. Sherrilyn also introduced new DH's to love and deeper details about Ash that left me hungering to learn more! I can't believe I will have to wait until April of 2004 before the next DH novel is released!! That is WAY to long a time to wait!!

If you read only one book this month read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME
Review: I read all of Sherrilyn Kenyon's book and I think that this book is by far the best in the Dark Hunter Series, not an easy accomplishment.

Zarek is probably the most dangerous of all Dark Hunters. Seen as unstable Dark Hunter and a danger to all, he is hunted by his kind and a force more dangerous than the Dark Hunters. However, there is much more to Zarek and his 900 years of isolation in the wilds of Alaska. Beneath the the seemly cold-hearted Dark Hunter beats the soul of a man who was never wanted during his human. He was beaten and abused, hated to the extent that he was physically and emotionally crippled. Worst of all, he knew no love. A man who yearned but never knew a single soul to treat him with a moment of kindess. Like a wounded animal and doesn't allow anyone near him nor touch him. My heart bleed for Zarek as his story unfolded and the abuse of his life was reveled. Then, there is Astrid the justic nymph who is called to judge him guarded with only her pet wolf. Although blind, Astrid is allowed to "see" the true side of Zarek and falls helplessly in love with this man. Astrid has so much compassion and fire in her soul that Zarek is torn by wanting the star that he feels that he cannot touch.

Miss Keynon created so a dramatic, yet complicated characters Zarek and Astrid that I couldn't put the book down. From Zarek's put downs, to bad ass handsome Dark Hunters, to the Blood Rite Squires sent to help hunt down, to the on-going of jealous Gods and Goddess...this books has it all.

It also gives more glimps into the complicated sexual and unhealthy relationship between Acheron and Artemis( for those who wanted to know more about them...this books give a lot of information). That plus the addition of Ash's loveable demon Simi adds a comic delight to this story. This book has everything and if you love SK's other works...you'll no doubt love this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yummy, yummy, yummy....
Review: Ms. Kenyon does it again with Dance with the Devil. For those of you that enjoy fiction touching the supernatural/fantasy realm, this is the book for you! No sappy dialogues here - quick and witty, yet still capturing the full emotions of pain, loss, love and redemption. Thank you Ms. Kenyon for such fine writing, and for being such a prolific writer. I eagerly await the next Dark Hunter novel, and any of your other novels under your Kinley MacGregor pseudonym.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another winner from Sherrilyn Kenyon
Review: I loved this book and could not put it down! Zarek is a classic tortured hero. Astrid is chosen to judge whether Zarek lives or dies. This book made me laugh and cry at times. Fans of the Dark Hunters will love this book. If this is your first time reading about the Dark Hunters, I recommend reading the other books in this series. Pick up this book you won't be disappointed if you like paranormals.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sherrilyn Does It Again!
Review: Homer couldn't have written a more tortured Greek hero and yet managed to give us the happy ending we're all rooting for. Sherrilyn manages to create yet another hero we're all dying to have for our own. She blends the right amount of emotion, laughter and sadness, and leaves us satisfied at the end that Love does conquer all...even heroes who have never known the meaning of the word.

Run, don't walk, and get this book. And if you haven't read a Dark-Hunter book before--where have you been? Get them all because they are well worth the read (and re-read).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kenyon doesn't dissapoint in her newest addition....
Review: Zarek has had more than his fair share of hard knocks in his life, putting it mildly. Being born to a Roman slave, fathered by Roman royalty, Zarek never belonged, but he always knew his place...as a slave. Zarek went through things that no human being should have to endure and has a shell of armor around himself so thick that no one will ever be able to penetrate it. At least that's what he thinks. After nine hundred years living in the Alaskan wilderness, Zarek sets off to New Orleans only to return to Alaska knowing that he'll either die before he gets there, or die in the biting cold that he's gotten so used to. At least that's what he thinks...

In all her years as a justice nymph, Astrid has never judged a man innocent. The closest she ever came was when she though she was in love with the man she was jugding, which she learned never to do again. When Acheron requests that she be the one to judge Zarek, she is stunned. First by what she sees in his eyes, and second by what she is almost positive the outcome will be. She doesn't count on Zarek though, nor the feelings he envokes in her.

In Kenyon's usual manner, she can bring a reader from tears to laughter in a page of reading. Although there is humor, it doesn't take away from the emotional intensity of the book. What Zarek had to endure as a slave brought me to tears, but it showed how strong Zarek is to endure and keep living, even though I wouldn't call what he was doing living. Astrid and Zarek are perfect for eachother and Kenyon has another hit in Dance With The Devil. Don't miss it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well titled page turner!
Review: When things go badly in New Orleans, Zarek is again exiled to the Alaskan wilderness. Certain that his death was immanent; his soul purpose in living was to piss everyone off. What else is new? So it was with great surprise that while seriously injured from a fight with blood squires, Dark Hunter's and Artimis's creature to kill the Dark Hunters-Thanatos, he finds himself in the home of an enchanting blind woman who lives alone in the woods with a wolf. Astrid was sent to judge him insane and a threat to humanity, or innocent of all the crimes against him. Blind only while deciding how to serve justice she is terrified by Zareks "spit in your face" attitude. However, while his words are gruff his actions speak differently and so she struggles to figure out what Asheron sees in him that would deem him innocent.

DANCE WITH THE DEVIL is the long awaited (and wondered) about story of Zarek, the slave become Dark Hunter that killed the village of people he was sworn to protect and was therefore banished to the harsh wilderness of Alaska almost a millennium before. Although this story, I think, is more intense than the previous installments, I would have been disappointed had it been anything less. I was amazed that the intensity Zarek portrayed in NIGHT EMBRACE wasn't lost within the pages of his story. Somehow, buried deep within Zarek is a true hero that has given up on himself even as he fights to protect the lives of others. Astrid is a heroine unlike any other that will have your jaw dropping as she sorts thru two thousand years of gruesome history to pass judgment. And as always, Ms Kenyon has woven her lighted hearted humor with the newest cast members added to the Dark Hunter world as well as one we all love to hate. So, in true Dark Hunter fashion, be prepared for another heart-stopping page-turner from Ms Kenyon with an astonishing ending!

To those of you who have never read a Dark Hunter novel, this is an excellent novel and yes you could read it as a stand alone book, but if you went back to read the other stories, you will spoil some of the endings for yourself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Like a soap opera, but less subtle.
Review: If you like Sherrilyn Kenyon novels and know what you're getting into, no doubt you'll love this torrid and sexy love story of the oh so troubled hero and his oh so beautiful (and blonde, of course) love interest.

If you want a well written supernatural tale with elements of realism, try Charlaine Harris or Laurell K. Hamilton. Kenyon's characters are more shallow than a papercut, and it hurts just as much to read about them. Zarek for instance, is supposedly 900 years old, but (despite being reminded of that every page) I jsut didn't believe he could be older than seven. A spoiled, obnoxious seven. He lives in Alaska, but does Kenyon describe the breathtaking scenery or the rugged and fascinating people there? No, she just has Zarek whine about how poor, poor him, he has to live there. (Violins please.)

My sister recommended this series, and I tried, I really did, but every page has flat and pathetic dialogue that makes me cringe. If you like this kind of thing, you know who you are. If you're not sure if you'll like it or not, save yourself seven bucks and read somethign else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The gods have truly smiled on this one!!!!!!!
Review: i have read all of the dark hunters i can get my hands on and have loved every minute of every one. if you enjoy the tall dark and dangerous you will absolutly love the latest of Sherrilyn Kenyon. i started from the beginng and i really must suggest that you do to: Fantasy Lover, Night Pleasures, Night Embrace,Dance with the Devil,and Kiss of the Night. Comming soon is Night Play; and i have been waiting for months to get my hands on this one.

Dance witgh the Devil is Zerek's book and a more deserving man to find true love i have never seen. i got so caught up in the book that i was feeling everything the characters were. during the book my emotions went from anger, to wonder, to hope, sadness, and laughter, even outrage at times.

There are very few books i connect with, but with Sherrilyn Kenyon i am as much a part of the story as Zerek and Astrid.

I have loved this series from the beginning, and i will love it to the end, and every page in between. i just can't wait till Acheron's story comes out! i hope it will be soon! i am just itching to get my hands on it!
