Gosh...I feel like such a minoriety with all of those 4+ stars and my little 3 star. I love, love SK. I read all her books and love them all. That said, I read them like some people watch soap opera's for mindless enjoyment. This was a much deeper read. That is not why I gave it a lesser review, I was just a little disappointed. While I always love the poor-broken-spirtually-defeated-men-get-the-girl-who-changes-them-and-they-become-whole angle I felt in this story too much time was spent to the beating down and not enough time spent on the God-hood and his abilities and the love he found in Tory.
Part 1: Wow... How much is one person to endure? It was hard to read. I took it to get my mind off a 5 hour flight with a little hot guys and steamy sex imagine my surprise! His sister, how many times can one person screw up in the name of love, seriously the most loving thing she could have done was leave him alone. I think part 1 could have been much shorter and still have the same impact. Although the section was beautiful and heart wrenching it was just a bit too much.
Now Part 2: Ash was a bit more the kick butt Ash we have come to count on as leader of the Dark-Hunters but, still I saw him more crippled and broken than vunerable. I wish there was more of a love story there for him and Tory. I know the premise in the Dark-Hunter world is someone struggles and fights against the love that is destined to be but, I felt after all Ash and been through that less time could have been spent on the hideous abuse and more on the love story being created. Seriously...a virgin...come on why is the girl always a virgin just waiting on her Dark-Hunter love to come along. Really...I was disappointed. I did like Tory's character she was kick ass even before she had the means to be.
Overall it was a good read. I laughed, I cried, I gasped out loud what more could I want. I guess maybe my hopes were so high for the Acheron book that my standard could not be totally met. So I say if you are into the D-H series read it. I'm very glad that I did, but it wasn't my fave.
