I think "Dream Warrior" is the first one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dream Hunter offshoot series that I really really liked. It wasn't the heroine who sucked me in this time, it was Cratus/Jericho all the way. His hardcore attitude for everyone but his gal just made me say, "Awww" and melt a little.

She's a Dream Hunter who determined to look for the best in others. He's the son of War and Hate who has been punished for centuries for showing mercy to a child. She's More...

Ok, so it was really hard to rate this book. A lot happens, so you must read it.

While the love story here was a bit poor,the events that develop in this book are really interesting. Things between Jericho (Cratus) and Delphine happened too fast. They meet, they fall in love, the spend some days together, they get married. I mean, Kenyon could have spent some more pages to make a stronger bond between them both.

Then I got really confused about Jared and Jaden, they are tw More...

"I pity those born of the lighter side. They have no understanding of how seductive cruelty is. "
So far I'm team Noir and Azura. Hurray EVIL people!

------------------------------


I did like Cratus and Delphine, but I wasn't very enthusiastic about them. Their love story wasn't really all that interesting to me.

As mentioned, Noir and Azura took the spotlight every time they're in a scene. Asmodeus did as well. He was both creepy and sweet, and I'v More...

I wouldn't have minded this book to go on forever but alas, it didn't. A little short for me but still a good read. It definitely let us in on the new story arc and the direction all the characters were headed. I loved seeing where so many favorites were in their lives. Ash, love seeing him with Tory even if he seems a shade less "scary" now that he's married. Nick? Damn is the boy angry. Jared and Jaden? Hmmm now that's an interesting relationship I want to know more about.

Dream Warrior is Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest in her Dark Hunter series, although it sort of seems like she's separating the Dark Hunters and the Dream Hunters a bit.

This one also had less of the Romance-novel going on and more of the fantasy, which was cool. Characters from multiple pantheons show up (and it's really, really important to have read at least a few of the earlier books, or you'd probably be completely lost on some of it, though she did a fairly good job on recapping some More...

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark, Were, and Dream Hunter books. Not all of them are the best but I have to read them. It is like an addiction. I will always want to read more though how she can come up with all these stories totally baffles me.

As for this book! Hello. Okay sometimes I'm not really into the darker men but Jericho was so yummy. You really start to feel bad about everything he's had to go through. Sometimes I do feel like Kenyon makes the romantic connections a little too e More...

Honesty, I don't know what it is about the Dream-Hunter books, but I am just not a fan. The redeeming qualities are when Acheron and Tory appeared and when we get more background on the Source. I didn't feel connected to Cratus and Delphine, but I liked the connection with an earlier Dream-Hunter novel. That part was redeeming, but the rest of the novel seemed to work out a little too well. The near-death experiences lasted half of a page. While I am glad my main character survived, it was a bit More...

This was enjoyable. It was a change from the newer Kenyon books I read because they focused on the characters I was interested in more than the Dream-Hunters. After all, I'd really disliked the Midnight Clear story. It bored me to tears.

My only concern about this story is that if you aren't a regular Kenyon reader, you might find yourself more than a bit lost. So many characters make "cameo" appearances that someone who didn't know the series might have had some trouble ke More...

In this new chapter of the Dream-Hunter series we get the inevitable hallmark features of Kenyon with a seriously tortured Titan named Cratus/Jericho and an Oneroi heroine named Delphine who becomes the balm for Cratus/Jercho soul pain. Then we have a “save the world from all evil” plot delivered with the writing style that includes the ironic meets sarcastic and a dash of humor to elevate the darkness.

For one act of kindness Jericho is punished every night for centuries until he is More...

This was Kenyon's first Dream Hunter novel that I really enjoyed as well as some of my favorite Dark Hunter stories. While her previous Dream Hunter outings were certainly entertaining, I didn't connect with them as I did the characters in this story.

Kenyon has no doubt improved greatly as a writer. Her stories are more fluid now and the pacing feels right. I also get the sense that she's not "trying" so hard as I did with earlier work. She could still use improvement but muc More...

Every great once in a while I read a paranormal romance novel and it usually doesn't take me long to remember why I tend not to like them. There's the requisite strong, silent, and violently angry male who can only be tamed by the pure sunshine and rainbows virgin. They feel something for each other the first time they see each other and of course they fall in love. It has nothing to do with personalities or common interests it's just love at first sight which frankly, isn't all that interest More...

I've loved the Dark Hunter series from the first book I read. I've been impressed with Kenyon's hold on her mythology and been intrigued with the mounting intricacies threading through the series as a whole.

But with this latest installment, and the full introduction of the new story arc, I find myself confused. In the last few novels, we've become increasingly aware of the Source and been introduced to a slew of new characters in relation to it. We've also learned some secrets about More...

Cratus has spent hundreds of years suffering for one moment of compassion. As a God of War and solider for Zeus, Cratus spent centuries killing with no compassion and following orders. But when he was sent to kill the child of a Dream-Hunter some untold emotion had him betraying Zeus and saving the baby. Now living in the human world he has changed his name to Jericho and spends every night being tortured under Zeus's order. But things are about to change for Jericho when his old friends came ca More...

Wow, it was another great one from the literary goddess. What an ending! Now that the dream hunters don't have the curse anymore, I like them much better. And Zeus basically got bitchslapped!! WOOHOO!

Jared is free too! Which is confusing because I kept thinking they were talking about Jayden. I also thought Jayden was the one who warned Ash in One Silent Night and was the same demon broker in Dream Chaser and also who religiously played the Saturday gaming with Ash & Takashi for the l More...

Dream Warrior is the fourth novel in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s spin-off from the Dark Hunters, Dream-Hunter series. Dream Warrior is the story of Cratus, now known as Jericho. Cratus was a God before Zeus stripped him of his godhood because he refused to kill a female infant. Now 6,000 years later Zeus is in need of Jericho’s help and Jericho is not a happy camper.

Delphine is the dream warrior assigned to make contact with Jericho and get him to help the good guys out. In this case bo More...

This book opened up a whole new can of worms. Which is funny because once that can opens and you can look back on the clues and hints that have been dropped in previous books, you can see that there's a lot of stuff that's been leading up to this. A.Lot. Honestly, I love when a series is so well put together that every book deepens the mythology. So. Jericho is a Titan who used to be the right hand of Zeus before he laid down his sword and shield and walked away from it all. With a dark po More...

This was a real improvement over "One Silent Night." Jericho and Delphine were more enjoyable as a couple, with the familiar theme of an angry, wounded-soul saved by love. That has been a staple of the D-H series, and part of what keeps me coming back. That said, this entry also heightened my fear that the gods are taking over. Acheron is one of the most-powerful gods; his mother is the Great Destroyer. So, where do we go from there to provide a challenge? We need new, even more all-po More...

Just finished this book. I swallow up all the Dark-Hunter books...but, honestly, I'm waiting for another one on the same caliber as Acheron!

To me, this books was a little about Jericho and Delphine, and even more about setting the scene for what is the next great shift in power. I'm waiting for the show down with Nick, and I'm intrigued by Jaden and Jared. I want to know thier story!

I wasn't totally in love with Delphine and Jericho...thier story was too fast! How could I More...

I found this book ever so confusing... I felt like I was reading but nothing much was going in.
There are SOOOO many characters it's hard to ever keep up with who is who. ( and I have a minor little peeve that I don't like how Jared and Jaden's names are so similar! I keep getting confused between the two :/ just a little something that annoyed me)
I thought the main love story was weak, the spent like 2mins hating each other and then BANG they're in love! If only it was that easy to f More...

This book put a new spin on Greek mythology. I have read my share of legendary creatures and etc. that have been thrown into modern times, but I have not read about Ancient greek gods in modern times. Of course, that was not what the whole novel was about, unfortunately, since I really did like that part. Another thing I liked in this story was the main character's reasons for suffering through what he did, and the twist that occurs in it. Also, the summary is a bit misleading so don't be put o More...

Here is another Dream-Hunter book, but in the style of Xypher's, it was actually pretty good. This one takes up where One Silent Night left off in the sense of directing the Dark Hunter war beyond Acheron's book. Where is this series going now? Well this book lays it all out for you.

The start of the book caught me immediately. I loved Cratus from the start. I loved seeing him on that hill and listening to his thoughts and then watching him walk into the hall of the gods like a total b More...

The universe of the dream warriors is a brutal since the dream gods are supposed to feel no emotions by decree/curse from Zeus eons ago. Things have been changing and this is the story of dream god Delphine and the chthonic God, Cratus who long ago disobeyed Zeus and was cursed to live as human without his powers. Angry, bitter, guarded and vengeful, he is given back his powers in a vengence move to destroy the Olympian Gods. Delphine is sent to convince him, through seduction, to desist his More...

Well I first felt a little miffed that Kenyon had combined a dark hunter and a dream hunter book to satisfy the next installment of both series. I will say this is much more a dream hunter book than a dark hunter. I don't read the dream hunter series but it was still decent. The main male and female characters were enjoyable.

The names and history were a little overwhelming because it is so dream hunter focused. They didn't mean much to me and I won't lie...I was skimming those p More...

Oh dear.
The plot sounded so good on the back cover, I like reworking of mythologies. I did not like this one but the first few chapters pulled me in to the story enough that I did read it to finish. By the second half of the book it had however, become an annoying itch rather than a pleasant read.

The characters start out promising but by the last chapter have devolved into one dimensional caricatures indulging in juvenile pinch and slap behaviour, very unconvincing in gods and More...

Very interesting concept. I haven't read a book quite like this one and it kept me guessing. Not a lot of boy/girl romance...nice undertones, but not the focus. If you only read this first book of the duet then you'll always have a lot of questions. The story is well-told and the characters are real and likeable.

Brief synopsis: Only a select few can enter the Place and sleep to catch dreams. They share these dreams with others in the 'real world' as their career. The dreams are more More...
