About this audiobook
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon brings us back to the astonishing world of the Dark-Hunters in Stygian, with a hero misunderstood by many…but most of all by himself.
I have lived for thousands of years, believing myself to be something I’m not. Someone I’m not.
Trained as a slayer and predator, I’ve learned to become a tool for evil. Until I was sent to kill the one woman I couldn’t. My hesitation cost her everything, including her life.
Or so I thought.
To save her, I need to trust enemies and friends I’m not sure won’t betray me, including a woman born of an enemy race who hates mine bitterly.
And maybe become the monster of my past.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This review is for an excerpt available from Netgalley.
Urian has been a favorite character in this long-running series which is intricate, at times complicated, and very addictive. If honest I do believe they are best read in order but having read this preview I can say that in the style of Acheron and Styxx the author gives us Urians life from the beginning which involves implanted him into an unsuspecting woman whose husband is the son of Apollo, so we see how Stryker struggled and raged against the curse that ravaged his family. Urian is precocious, brave, and yet so very lonely but he befriends a dragon all the while feeling like an outcast amongst his own people.
This excerpt shows Urian learning about his powers and most of all it shows a humane side to him that’s at war with his violent nature. Urian is never what others expect him to be and I thought he deliberately put up walls in order to cope with feeling unwanted at times. This does stop at a crucial part when Urian is heartbroken and I’m very keen to see what happens next.
This author is so talented that her characters and worlds come to life. If you love mythology and legends then this series is a must-read. If I’m brutal perhaps recently not every book has absolutely wowed me but from what I’ve just read I strongly suspect fans will be very happy with this book although I think perhaps you might have to believe in reincarnation.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair1 person found this helpful

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well it makes more sense and very meaningful that the whole story is coming in full circle. Exposure the reason for each individual painful memories and bitterness over their gods. I will say it is quite interesting and excellent book. Enjoyed each time spend listening and I will like to spend more time reading it again fun.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5It was her worst book. There were parts that made me check to see if I had accidentally jumped into Styxx and was confused and felt that it was cut and paste. I also did not love the many loves and how the ending was so rushed when everything else was drawn out forever!
