I'm not quite sure how to review this book. I enjoyed many parts of it....and others just annoyed me.

The Sin/Kat story was very interesting. I love how certain characters just know that they've fallen in love fast and hard. What I didn't like was how Acheron was instantly a father and how his daughter kept calling him daddy. (Don't boo me yet..) I know that he is Simi's "dad" but I just felt that that type of intimacy between a father and daughter came a little to fast for me. I can see ...more

While I have been a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon's for some time now, I skipped the Dream Hunter books in my rush to get to Acheron. (Yep, those of you who know the series understand where I'm coming from here.)

(Yep, those of you who know the series understand where I'm coming from here.) Recently I have decided to go back and read the Dream Hunters, and in looking to see where I needed to start, I discovered that I had also skipped over Devil May Cry. (I know, I know! I don't know how this happened. And yes, I was blindsided by Kat when I read Acheron, so I knew that I had missed something somewhere...) So, to correct my grave mistake, I picked up Devil May Cry before starting the Dream Hunters.

Devil May Cry is the story of Katra and Sin. Kat is one of Artemis's maids, and Sin is a former Sumerian fertility god. Artemis sends Kat to kill Sin, but that doesn't quite turn out as she had planned. Turns out Sin isn't quite as bad as Artie made him out to be, and Kat teams up with him to - you guess it - help save the world from demons. The story line is typical Sherrilyn Kenyon fashion. Good vs. evil, and good wins in the end, with a lot of mythology thrown in for fun, of course. Kat and Sin's story has a few twists and turns in it due to who Kat's parents are as well as Sin's history with ol' Artie. I love that Katra is a strong heroine. She doesn't need to be rescued or saved, rather gets in there and fights right along side her man. She's no damsel in distress, and she is willing to make a huge sacrifice to save her man. Sin also steps up to the plate in a big way to save Kat when she needs him, even though saving her ties Kat to him for the rest of their lives. Of course things get rocky when Sin finds out who Kat is, and exactly what role she played in the loss of his godhood. But in the end, true love conquers all, even if it is in an unconventional way.

The Dark Hunter books are my fluffy, just for fun reads, and Devil May Cry didn't disappoint. It was easy to get into, kept me interested, and has well developed characters who I loved immediately. While the plot was predictable, there were enough new angles and fun asides that it never got boring. I loved it. If you're a Dark Hunter fan, don't miss this one! ...more

This was a very important book in the series, I think. I loved it. It reveiled what I had kind of suspected, but when the reveil took place I was in tears. I wish the book was longer, but there really was no need, it summed it all up. I just wanted more of Kat and Sin.
My favorite two Charontes showed up Simi and Xirena.
It also looks like things are about to get real interesting in the Dark-Hunters world. I cannot wait to see it unfold
