1: Not her best, story wanders
I generally love Ms Kenyon's books, but this one was very disappointing. The story is set in the book 6 time frame, not a problem as I would love to find out more about many of the well drawn characters that populate the Dark Hunter universe. However, this story wanders without any real cohesion. The plot line jumps around in a way that is distracting. I would just skip this one, it doesn't really add anything to the overall story line with the possible exception of a new bad boy boss. If Thorn turns out to be an important new character maybe it would be worth a read, but I'd check it out from the library.

2: It's Okay...Just....
I have been thinking about this since the book BMR came out, and I have to say that Fang was overwritten. I love Sherrilyn Kenyon and her books, first of all. In defense of Amiee waiting until the end to sleep with Fang is understandable. I think we are so wrapped up in sex that we forget that love starts before that. We forget the rush and the excitement of the wait. You also have to understand that the author was trying to show you how much the characters respected their family; that betrayal was never their first intention, even though in the end it was.
Okay, after that note. I was able to bond with all of her characters except fang and Aimee. Weird, right! I mean, the story was good, but I really couldn't feel for those two characters. However, I did feel for everyone around them. The people around them saved this book, especially Vane (of course). I find the characters selfish, to tell you the truth. I feel that Sherrilyn really loves fang, because she gave him a hardback book, which I personally would not buy. I bought Acheron's book though, and loved it. I felt that Sherrilyn was trying to make fang better than Vane, which I think is BULL. Fang can NEVER be compared to Vane, Vane is just too great of a guy. He is the one that always make the hard decisions, and always place his family and pack first. Vane could have been the leader of both packs, but he chose a different leader instead (his brother Fury) which was an excellent choice if you can read between the lines. What many of you have to understand is that betrayal is something Vane cannot accept, and he knows that Fury would never do it because Fury knows what it feels like to be betrayed. At the end of BMR, Vane was willing to die (knowing Bride his wife would die also leaving their kids orphans) instead of turning Fang in for execution. While Aimee, placed her whole family in danger by trying to break Fang out of jail, which caused her parents to die during a fight. REALLY! There is no comparison. Fang will never be better than what he is.
read the book and then decide for yourself how you feel about. In fact, rent it from the library, that's what I did. Then decide if you want to buy it for not.

3: very good read
If any of you get the opportunity to listen to the audio book - I highly recommend it. It is the narrator that made this a good book for me. It was my second Kenyon book, but I am enjoying the series so I will stay with it as long as they are available from my library. These are a great escape avenue after a day at the office and make for a pleasant commute.

I didn't find this to my normal novel tastes, but I did find it an interesting to read.

5: Reviews by The Bibliophilic Book Blog
Summary: Fang Kattalakis isn't just a wolf. He is the brother of two of the most powerful members of the Omegrion: the ruling council that enforces the laws of the Were-Hunters. And when war erupts among the lycanthropes, sides must be chosen. Enemies are forced into shaky alliances. And when the woman Fang loves is accused of betraying her people, her only hope is that Fang believes in her. Yet in order to save her, Fang must break the law of his people and the faith of his brothers. That breech could very well spell the end of both their races and change their world forever.
The war is on and time is running out...
This book is the most recent in Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series...or more specifically Were-Hunter Series. It is the long awaited, if I do say so myself, book about Fang and Amiee. There is one thing I can say for sure about this book is that it significantly progresses the series plot line; Kenyon is slowly starting to break away from her single book for single character mentality and starting to bleed together the books. I like it, it works and its enjoyable. I enjoyed the characters in this book...we get to see more from the Pontier family as well as some new characters and a whole new pantheon is introduced, not to even start on the little piece of information she left at the end. Fang and Amiee have a scorching relationship and it shows in this book. I enjoyed it. The only complaint I have is that she could have eased up on the history lesson in the beginning of the book and made it progress a bit faster. So what will the world be like for those seeking Sanctuary? I guess we will find out.
