Chronicle In Favor Of Books Retribution (Dark-Hunter #19)
Harm no human... 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 meeting 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.

Give me some slack in reviewing this book. It's my third read in less than 24 hours and the two previous were really good so I'm feeling a little cynical.I was really excited to finally see Jess's book. He's mentioned in multiple previous books and I love how Kenyon writes stand-alone stories but uses the characters to preserve continuity in the series. However, Retribution is a HUGE departure from the series. Previous books have addressed ancient European mythologies - Greek, Sumerian, Celtic,It's sad when a beloved series loses it's mojo. Even more sad when the best thing about the book is it's cover. The poor Dark Hunter series has at book number 20, lost that loving feeling for me. I never ever thought I'd say this, but Retribution was a do not finish for me. It pains me to write it, because as I've stated before this is one of my all time favorite series.I haven't read the Chronicles of Nick yet,(because I think it's stupid to have 10 books to get to one dark hunter book) but
The only star I gave was for the bonus scene of Ash's baby entering the world. The rest of this book just sucked. It was a suck-a-thon for sure. And, it blew.Why, you wonder? Well, I'll rant about it enlighten you.We have Jesse, the cowboy Dark Hunter, and Abigail, the girl who wants to kill him. Abigail has been killing Dark Hunters like crazy by trapping them in sunlight and beheading them. Her big hope is to kill Jesse (aka Sundance) and that is how they meet. She tries unsuccessfully to kill
I have one question - what the hell was Sherrilyn Kenyon thinking when she wrote this book? I found myself skimming pages, glazing over the text and wishing that Ash or someone interesting would show up to pump some life into this thing. There were brief appearances from Sin, Zarek, Talon and Nick, but even they couldn't save this sinking ship. Jess is a gun slinger who was made into a dark-hunter who resides in Vegas. He's on the hunt for a "human," who's running with a pack of Daimons, wile
This was not what I expected. Not really set in the DH world as in the previous books. *SPOILERS*You have your DH Jess "Sundown" Brady. In the beginning of the book you get a glimpse into his past and what made him become a DH.Then you have Abigail, a confused person who I really didn't care for. She couldn't make up her mind with what was is truth and was is false. Got on my nerves quick. She believes that Sundown was the person who gunned down her parents but in the end it wasn't him.I didn't
By far my least favorite book of the series to date.Good grief I had so many problems with this book, I don't even know where to begin. *deep breath*****SPOILER WARNINGS****Add me to the list of people who found themselves wondering if S.K. actually wrote a good portion of this book. Everything from the dialogue to the new character development felt completely flat and emotionless to me. It was almost as if Kenyon wrote a few scenes here and there, and left the majority of the story up to
