31 Days of Halloween { review } No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon
No Mercy (Dark-Hunter Series #19 / Were-Hunter #6) by Sherrilyn Kenyon. © 2010 St. Martin’s Press. ISBN 9780312546564. Hardback. Paranormal Romance. 352 pages. $24.99 US. Source: Amazon Purchase.
Synopsis: Live fast, fight hard and, if you have to die, then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.
Shape-shifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power–one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.
The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe, as we know it.
Review: After Acheron’s much-awaited story a lot of the fans of the Dark-Hunters series thought that was it. She can’t possibly come up with a bigger picture story line to go with the romances and things could only go down hill from there, but with every book after that Sherrilyn Kenyon proved them wrong. Although, it took her two more books to tie loose ends from the Acheron story (which were good but not great) she is certainly back with this book.
The main story line in this book is of course the forbidden romance between a Dev and Sam and all the problems they go though with the people who want them dead. The other story line is the underlying war between the Dark-Hunters/Were-Hunters and the Daimon but in this book it is taken to a whole new level. A lot of new conflicts appear in this book giving hints to a new future conflict for Acheron.
Dark-Hunter fans are going to adore this book and will not think that the story is over by any means.
