I normally love the Dark Hunter series, but I just couldn't get into this one. My faviroute scenes were the ones Nick was in. I am totally in love with him!
Overall, the book was okay, I don't think you need to read it to get the story. So, if you want just skip it. It really won't matter.

I found the hardcover edition "Dark Side of the Moon" for $5.99 on the Borders bargain books rack. Sherrilyn Kenyon has a lot of books in print and seems to be quite popular. I'm not into the whole vampire lover genre, but for $5.99, I figured I could at least see what made Kenyon so popular. I must now shamefully admit that I really enjoyed "Dark Side of the Moon". I could have done without the whole gods/daimons/Dark Hunters/Appolites/etc. back story, but I loved the cha

I think this was the first Sherrilyn Kenyon book I ever read-talk about jumping right in to the Dark Hunter world. I love the Dark Hunters and this is a fun one. Anyone who loves the DH series will love it, and PNR romance lovers will love it. I strongly recommend reading them in order (I did not-it sucked).

You all know that I don't pick up hardcover books... but I just could not help myself with this one. It was a year after the last book came out, and the mmp wouldn't have come out for another six months... I COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!! Again, another awesome book by Sherri. I can't get enough of this series... better than watching a movie or TV!!! I don't know how she does it, but the characters seem so real, and the events seem so real, that it just sucks you right in. It's impossible not to los

Argh, frustrating story. Least favorite of all the Dark-Hunters in the series (I've read the first 10, this being 10). The story did have some interesting backstory on Acheron, Nick and Stryker, but not enough to read the book in my opinion. The main romance story was a bust. Heroine (Susan) was like nails on chalkboard who spoke mostly sarcastic comments. I really wanted someone to just slap her down, just once! The hero (Ravyn) was OK, but his tortured past was no different than any other Dar

This book was a little slow in the beginning but really picked up about a quarter of the way through.
Ravyn and Susan were an interesting couple. Ravyn was a very hot Dark Hunter/Arcadian Were Hunter. He, of course, had some issues. His family killed him about 300 years ago after he told his potential mate that he was a Were Hunter, which caused her to gather a group of humans to attack Ravyn's villiage and kill some of his pack including his mother and sister.

WOW. Lots and lots of badly done sex wrapped very loosely around a...plot? Wait, was that a little plot I saw over there? Too tiny to make out, poor little neglected thing!
I think if a caveman came into the modern world and was introduced to this as his first book, and was told there were libraries in every city in the world with hundreds of these things, he'd hit everyone with it and return home to announce civilization has gone backward.

I found that I enjoyed this one a lot more than I have the last couple of DH books I've read.
Dark Side of the Moon is Ravyn and Susan's story. I felt like I was able to see more of them in this one so it was easy to understand why they'd fall in love. Ravyn is a lot different from the other Dark-Hunters because he's not JUST a DH. Sherrilyn Kenyon used her usual formula of the DH having had a human mate betray them. There is a little bit of a twist with Ravyn's story though. I liked that he did More...

Susan is a journalist. An investigative reporter. Or she was before she lost everything when one story blew up in her face. The scandal of her mistake brought her down and stripped her of everything, her job, her boyfriend, her reputation, her home and everything she owned. Now in Seattle, she’s reduced to writing shock headlines for a dreadful supermarket tabloid – bat boy and Elvis sightings.

I like Kenyon's books, but there is some "something," I can't put it into words, that often keeps my ranking into the 3-4 star range, instead of the 4-5+ that most folks post.
This one started wonderful, but I got tangled up a bit in the relationships at the very end. Ash, Savitar and Nick. It's likely that I just need to read the books before this one, in order, but this is the first one that the library has.

This is the first book in the "Dark Hunter" series that I honestly didn't think held up to Kenyon's exacting standards. It's perplexing, too. Her stories are usually tight, well put together, her world building understandable, her characters empathetic and believable - even though often-times incredibly dark and tortured. All of those makings were present in this book, they just never came to fruition.

I have thought about flouncing this book and start DH #10 but then Savitar showed up, slapped me in the face and told me to keep on reading or...and then he lost interest and said there was no OR about it. I have to read this book to get to Acheron's book...and eventually his book. Lol. There are twenty books in this series. TWENTY! Other than the BDB series, I have this six-book limit per series. But I can't turn away from the Dark Hunter series. Once you start, you can't stop.

I really liked this edition of the DH series. It was a nice change of pace to have a hero who still actually had a family...even if said family is a bunch of jerks. It was also nice to have a tough-kick-a-little-butt-cause-I-trained-like-a-dark-hunter-too kind of girl for the heroine. I don't think any other heroine is actually able to fight alongside her DH so that was a lovely switcheroo. (I get a little tired of the 'swooning woman' issue.) She also was a tough cookie emotionally and I though

I like this series, and I like the Were-Hunters. That is the only reason this book gets 3 stars.
I was not into the location, I was not into the plot, and I did not love Ravyn and Susan. I feel like these characters and this story came out of nowhere. After the steamy love and hotness of Wren's story, this was just lacking. It made me happy that I don't have to wait for the other books that came after it so that I can wash this book out of my memory.

My review is coming from someone who just popped in the middle of this series and read this book without reading any other from the Dark Hunter series. I struggled with this book, not in the sense of getting to know the characters or in what was going on, but it was my first paranormal romance and I'm just not sure if I like paranormal romance. The whole vampire/shapeshifter thing didn't do anything for me. Nada. Zilch. I liked the characters well enough, but found myself hurrying through the bo

Genre: Paranormal Romance
The cover of this novel was highly misleading. It was given to me as a gift, and based on the cover I assumed it would be like the Dresden Files. It isn’t. It’s a romance novel. The supernatural elements and the world-building (and the longevity of the hero!) are all superficial. I feel like a whole lot of mythology (from random sources) has been mixed up willy-nilly with the modern vampire-urban-fantasy ethos without much integration. As an urban fantasy no More...

Let's dump in exposition in the first 14 pages, shall we? And then sprinkle the same information again in people's dialogue later.

But I am totally not into the whole god-goddess petty squabble stuff that motivates the whole series, and I stopped reading after a few. I picked this book up because it had a shape-shifter involved.

Dark Side of the Moon is a remarkably quick read despite its length. Susan is a smart, ultra-sarcastic heroine who all but leaps off the page. Maybe it's because I'm ultra-sarcastic myself, but I instantly adored her. She's tough and spunky, though not above succumbing to the occasional moment of weakness. From her go-getter attitude to her cat allergy, Susan was simply real to me. Ravyn is a tormented, angry, undead shapeshifting Dark-Hunter working off centuries of pent up hurt and anger. He s

After coming off of Wren's book, this one got me back on track. Maybe I missed the Dark Hunters, I don't know, but the story in this one was fun. There was more than just the pained romance and perfect roads to freedom that I found in Wren's book. (Maybe I'm still upset he cut the dreads.) Anyways, Ravyn had me from the start. A shifting Dark Hunter? Say what, Artemis? So on board with this. The set up from the start had me laughing, falling for them, and awaiting what was going to happen next.
