I want to start by saying that I am in love with Kenyon's writing, and that more than half of these books are rereads for me. These novels are in chronological order and while each book is its own story and can be read separately, it adds so much to the books reading them in sequence.

Review
I am reviewing the collection as one book.

The world is one of the best I have ever read, right up there with the Stephen King Universe with the complex interwoven multifaceted plots and characters. While the novels have great depth and many layers, they are first and foremost romance novels. I am reviewing them as such; meaning that I am aware they all fallow: the man (scared past, tough, unloving, distant, strong, handsome) falls in love with the woman (also has baggage,beautiful but doesn't know it) and dispite the 1001 reason why they cant be together, they end up together relatively happily ever after.

Yes the general layout is repetitive and predictable but that is romance novel 101. Each on of these stories is also very unique. To anyone who has read and enjoyed the Percy Jackson novels (once your old enough) grab up these. Focusing on ancient Greece and Rome, and slowly as the series progresses spreading out the other ancient civilizations. Kenyon incorporates the everyday realities in with the impossibly fantastical world of gods and monsters flawlessly.

Warning! These books also step over a few boundary lines into areas such as torture, sex slaves, rape. Some fairly heavy topics that are more erotica than romance.

Easy Read

Meet Nick, a cheeky geek from New Orleans, he lives with his mother, hand to mouth just barely getting by. Poverty is a tough pill to swallow on its own, attending a rich kids private school (where everyone knows they are above you) on a scholarship while wearing tacky secondhand Hawaiian shirts doesn't make life any easier. Trying to grow up, get an education and avoid trouble can be enough for anyone, adding in a world full of supernaturals, gods, two zombie plagues, your serial killer father and an all powerful uncle you've never heard of or met before (who other people can't see) and Nicks has his work cut our for him.

Its been awhile since I've read anything by Kenyon although I always enjoy her novels. I was trying to read the whole Dark-Hunter verse in order so that I didn't spoil anything for myself. I did spoil myself a little bit with this novel but it was totally worth it. I really liked how this is a YA instead of a adult novel the way the rest of the series is, it fit so perfectly with Nicks character. I will be continuing this series once I have gotten a little bit farther with the rest of the books. Kenyon's writing is amazing, I love the Dark-Hunter world, I think her characters are fantastic, and the stories are wonderful.
