Customer Reviews

Disappointing but if you keep at it it gets better towards the end
I got this after reading a review that mentioned another of her books. I wanted to start at the beginning of the series and that i think is the downfall of this book. Kenyon is clearly setting up for her series so introduces a lot of characters and mythology that is at times hard to keep up with. Its also pretty hard to get involved with the hero when he's a bit of a tool. Although the heroine is pretty flat too. However I did push on with it and it gets a lot better towards the end and you catch glimpses that perhaps the next book will be better as kenyon can pad out all these characters who just have names and a four line description.

Still very good
As a lover of Sherrilyn Kenyon I looked forward to this new series and having finally read it I am, at whole, satisfied and pleased. I understand when others say that it isn't as good as the Dark Hunter series but I thought that this was still great and entertaining. I imagine once Kenyon hits her stride with this new series it will be as good as the Dark Hunters. Once you get into it it is just as heartrending at the end as other Kenyon novels. If you are a true Kenyon lover I trust you should read it and find out for yourself.

boring! dont bother with it
I have recently discovered Sherrilyn Kenyon books and have been reading as many as i can. The Dark Hunter series is amazing, the women are strong and the men dont try and hide what they are. There is No lieing or deception that then ,with predictablitly, breaks up the couple only to have them make up again. The Dark Hunter books are well worth a try, i cant put them down. The Dream Hunter though was so dull i struggled to read the book. I felt no connection to the charaters, they seemed cold and uncaring. The book did nothing for me except get me to wonder if this poor piece of writting had really come from such a reliable writer. I recommend not bothering with this book. I hope the next in the series gets a lot better.
