Introductions & Administration

Hi my name is... **Introductions**
Hi, I think I've intro'd myself before, but if not, Hello. From the Rochester NY area. I've read up to Retribution.
I didn't care for Jessup, so gave up on the book quickly, and never went back to the series. I was wondering if I could skip Retribution, & Time Untime, read Styxx & Dragonbane and be okay?
Hi Missyb,Have seen you around these parts before. Welcome back of course. :) As for skipping Retribution and getting to the others...Have you read any of the CON books? Cause I think there is some stuff that tie in between those books and CON and eventually shows back up in a few details here and there later on. At least for the Guardian I think it was? But to be on the safe side, me thinks we should wait for Charlotte or Myst to verify that. As there are always fine details one can miss at times that are important clues later on.
Welcome, Megan ... and welcome back, Missyb! =)We hope to hear from y'all on the boards here (and Megan, you're in luck, we'll be doing a re-read BOTM of the League series starting next month with Born of Night, so we would LOVE to hear your comments and thoughts!)
And to answer your question, Missyb, about skipping some of the books ... it should be ok, really. (Heck, I skipped around, myself, with the Dream-Hunter books, lol) Our lovely AG has stated over and over that each book is written to be a standalone, so no repercussions if you skip ahead. =)
Now ... not sure how much of Retribution you read, but I HIGHLY recommend, if nothing else, at least skipping to the very end and reading the bonus scene. ;) Other than that, though, it introduces a concept that appears later in Styxx's book, and it's sort of a lead-in to Time Untime (which does deliver a whopper or two). And the Guardian introduces a few surprisingly important characters, as well as a few details that come into play in later books. =)
Again, your choice completely. You shouldn't be completely lost if you skip those books, but certain scenes in the later books will make more sense if you do read them. And Dhfan is right, there's some awesome info in the CON books that come into play in the DH books. And it would be helpful to read Son of No One (do you like Thorn? There's a LOT of him in that book) before Dragonbane. =)
Whew ... sorry for the long post! But we hope to hear from you on the boards, here and there. =)

I read maybe a chapter or two of Retribution, years ago. I will skim through it at your recommendation.
Not sure what the CON books are. I have read everything (Dream, Dark, Were) including Dragonswan & some of the short stories, up to Retribution. I didn't read the Dream Hunter books in the right spot, but I read them.
Thanks for the info/recommendations.

CON is the Chronicles of Nick series that is a prequel/sequel to the DH books. Chock full of interesting tidbits about his Malachai way of life and other things.
Hey y'all, my name's LaJean or simply LJ to friends. I've been a memeber on Goodreads for a few years and have only now discovered the joys of the site. I did a search and discovered this group, my favorite author and lots of others who think so too. This could be fun!
Hello LaJean, and welcome to the board! =) We're always happy to meet fellow Menyons!Have a look around, and feel free to drop in on some of our discussions and post your thoughts, whether they're about the books, or whatever book you're reading now ... or even just general chitchat. We look forward to hearing from you! =D
Hi ya LaJean and welcome to our humble little group. Yea there is always plenty to yack about around these parts. Pull up a chair and get comfy. :)
Hello, I'm new to this group but I've been around GR for years. Love The League series! I only read a couple of her other books until recently I grabbed Acheron. I liked Acheron and may try to give her DH series another chance.
Hi Pamela,Welcome to the group and if you loved the League you can't go wrong with the Dark-Hunter books either. They are so interwoven but so beautifully done as well. Really can't go wrong with this author. Feel free to join in the discussions. Ask questions and the like too.
Hi Pamela, and welcome to the group! =)
Hi, I'm dovey. I've been lurking for a while... So this is long overdue.
I'm in the Midwest but born and raised in Europe.
I'm home right now on maternity leave with my beautiful newborn baby. He's a whopping 3 weeks old and I love him to bits.
I've been reading the DH series since Fantasy Lover came out and I've decided to stick with it until I find out who Savitar & Jaden really are hahaha!
I browse and read the different threads especially the ones with fan theories.
Have a great day, everyone!
Hi dovey, and welcome to the group! =)Congratulations on the birth of your son, I'm sure he will give you many moments of joy. I have two kids myself (both teenagers now), and I do remember those days when each was first born. =)
If you ever get the chance, do feel free to post some of your thoughts on the books in the various threads we have going on. We're always glad to discuss things with fellow Menyons. =)
Hi Blackdovey and waves to the new little dovey there too. :)Happy to have you not lurking so much. And definitely look forward to your theories and ideas on stuff too. Never hurts to toss in new ideas from time to time. :) And hopefully one day your son will be a fan too of the books. :)
Hi, My name is Debbie and I read SK in Canada. My favourite characters are Nykyrian from The League series and Kyrian from the Dark Hunters.I am so glad I found this group, it was a little birthday gift to myself, my birthday happens to be tomorrow (21 August).
Hi Debbie,Welcome to the group and early happy bday. I will add you to our bday list too. Glad you are enjoying both series. Please feel free and hop in the discussion nd ask questions etc. Happy to have you with us. :)
Hi Dhfan4life, Thank you for welcoming me. I am looking forward to reading the comments and getting in on the conversation.
Quite welcome. :) Oh and we have a helpful site map in case you get lost too.
Hi Debbie! Welcome to the group! =)(And Happy Birthday, too! =D)
Looking forward to seeing you on the boards, we would love to hear your thoughts and comments on the various books. The more the merrier, I say. XD
Hello my name is Alicia. I thought I introduced myself but I apologize for not doing so. I am a working college student who got introduced to the love of paranormal romances through Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. I love the story lines and the fact that the backgrounds and characters connect continuously. I own all the paperback versions out this far. Currently I am waiting for Dragon's Bane to be in paperback. Thank you for allowing me to be a member. I find it an honor.
Aww, thanks for the official intro Alicia. But we are just as honored to know you as well too. It's just an amazing thing for so many fans from all over the world to get together and talk about such a great Author. And although can't speak for everyone, but I know I'm happy to have you with us in the group too. :)
Thank you Dhfan4life for the welcome. I am glad to find others to talk to who understand me when I reference DH and Kenyon.
Welcome to the mothership! ;D
Hi, Alicia, and welcome (officially) to the group! ;) And like Dhfan said, we're just as honored to have you. =)Looking forward to hearing more from you on the boards. =)
Morning! I'm Adam, I'm 26 and I live in Nottingham, England. I came across SK by mistake actually and fell in love with her style of writing and her characters. I love everyone's different theories and I really hope I contribute to them with you all!
Hi Adam welcome to the group. Believe we have another Adam around these parts too. So hopefully we don't mix you up. Also glad to have another guy that enjoys the books as well. I finally believe it now, the darkside does have "cookies" lol.
see I don't really think of the books as romance books to me there fantasy books lol i do like cookies.....
Actually you are spot on with that. Where else can you have people turning into were-bears and rocking out at a bar and Godly police peeps getting time to get their surf on? Best set of fantasy I've found yet. ;) Haha, awesome cause we've all bitten the Menyon cookie a long time ago. Oh and feel free to dive in the discussions and meet other peeps. Most are a snoozing(where I should be taking myself here in a few), but yea it'll definitely be active after a bit later on. If you thought you weren't getting enough GR mail, you will soon have a flood in hours lol.
Welcome to the group, Adam! =)We would LOVE to hear from you in the threads, and we do welcome any and all contributions to theories. Because we are just full of theories, whether they are right or wrong. XD
Hi, I'm Diane, from NJ, I love to read anything I can get my hands on! I'm always looking for new books because I read so much, lol.
Hi, Diane, and welcome to the board! =) Always glad to meet a fellow bookworm. =)How many of Sherrilyn Kenyon's books have you read? Inquiring minds would like to know. XD
(Oh ... and just to let you know, I deleted out the multiple copies of your post. For some reason, every once in a while, a post decides to clone itself almost spontaneously. So no worries, you're not in trouble. ;D)
Hi Diane and welcome to the group. Sounds like GR is the right place for ya and your voracious reading appetites. :)
Hi, I’m Donna from New Jersey (my profile pic is my better half Darcy) and I am a newbie to both the group and SK universe. I read Night Play three years ago based on the rating of the book on this site and I liked the book, but fell in love with Acheron. Recently, I came across a SK book and I instantly remembered the series, especially Acheron. I am now on my fifth book, unfortunately not in order. I have a tendency to read ahead to determine if I should bother to read the whole book or series, but I have not been disappointed yet with this series, so I am going to start from the beginning with the prequel Fantasy Lover. I am enjoying the books I have read and still love Ash, but I hope that will not change once I get to the most recent books.I am happy to find to this place and feel I should wait until I am more caught up on the books to share more.
Hi Donna,Don't hesitate dive right on in. Ask any questions you need to. We are more than happy to meet you and see the lovely Darcy as well. Definitely welcome your thoughts and theories and everything else as well. :)
Hi Donna, and welcome to the board! =)Don't worry about not having read the books in order, I think most of us have skipped around a bit at some point. XD
Anyway, we hope to hear from you soon, we're always happy to meet fellow Menyons. =)
Hello everyone! My name is Jane and I'm from Arkansas. I just finished Dragonbane last night.
Hi Jane,Welcome to the group. We have a discussion thread around here some place if you care to add your two cents over Dragonbane and other books too. So pull up a chair and enjoy. :)
Welcome to the group, Jane! We'd love to hear from you in the various threads we have going. =)(And sounds like you're not all that far away from me, I'm from Kansas. =D)
Hi Jane!Welcome to the group! really looking forward to hearing your theories :D
Hi I am Tyler from Australia.Love three of Sherrilyn Kenyons series'.
CON
DH
League.
Dark hunter was my favourite for years. I'll be honest League is probably my favourite now. DH close second though.
Whenever I can't decide on a book to read I always reread one of her series. I read all those three at least twice a year.
Hi Tyler,Welcome to the group. Glad to have ya with us and that is great that you enjoy SK's works so much. I agree with you on her being a go to of mine as well.
Hi Tyler, and welcome to the group! =)I like to reread SK's books, too. =)
Hi, I'm Nancy from New Market, AL. I'm so glad that I found this group since I'm a huge Dark Hunter fan. I'm currently reading Born of Ice.
Hey Nancy,Happy to have you with us and glad you found the group. Glad you are enjoying the League books as well. :) Feel free to dive into the discussions and have you with us. :)
Hey Nancy! Nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about everything :)
Hey Nancy! Nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about everything :)
Welcome to the group, Nancy! =)Always good to see another Dark-Hunter fan (and it sounds like you might be a League fan, too. ;D)!
Hello everyone! I'm Misty, from Italy.I just recently finished reading the Dark Hunter series with Dragonbane (bless the reading list that I found on Sherrilyn Kenyon's website) and I'm now going on with Chronicles of Nick.
I love these books and this world and honestly I'm taking notes now so I don't miss any clues here and there... also re-reading the whole series for the same reason.
I guess you could say that when I like a book, I tend to analyze it and shred it to pieces to find every possible detail ^^
I still have to read The League, but I guess once I'm done with the Dark Hunter world, it will be my next target :)
