In a universe where assassins make the law, everyone lives in fear—except for Syn. Born of an illicit scandal that once rocked a dynasty, he always knew how to survive on the bloodthirsty streets. But that was then, and the future is now…
Syn was raised as a tech-thief until his livelihood uncovered a truth that could end his life. He tried to destroy the evidence, and has been on the run ever since. Now trained as an assassin, he allows no one to threaten him. Ever. He is the darkness that swallows his enemies whole.
Shahara Dagan is the best bounty hunter in the universe. When Syn comes back on the radar, she’s the only one who can bring him to justice. There’s only one problem: Syn is a close family friend who’s helped out the Dagans countless times. But if she saves him, both of their lives will be on the line. Is Syn’s protection worth the risk? The only hope Shahara has is to find the evidence he buried long ago. Now it’s kill or be killed—and they, the predators, have just become the hunted…
In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless ass...
Let me start by saying I love SK's Dark Hunter series and have read almost all of her books. I was excited about this new series, but it has been ho-hum to say the least. Book one had a lot more action and kept my interest - I wish I could say the same about book 2. The beginning started out interesting enough with plenty of action, but the middle of the book drags on and on and on. I have put it down and picked it up multiple times hoping it will get better, but it doesn't - at least for me, it did not. While I realize this is a sci-fi/futuristic setting, I can't get past the flying robot named "Vic" whom Syn created when he was a kid. The way SK describes it reminds me of the flying metal owl in the movie Clash of the Titans (early 80's)... was this one of SK's early or first series that wasn't published until now? For some reason, I get that impression or maybe I read it in a blog. None-the-less, the writing seems "juvenile" for lack of better description. Anyway, I can't recommend this book, sorry. I will probably pick up the 3rd book in December just to finish the series - I hope it is a better read then book 2.
There were many things that I enjoyed about this book, but I just couldn't get over the feeling that Shahara never deserved Syn. I have always really liked the heroines in Kenyon's books- with this being an exception. The idea that she was a feared bounty hunter was complete opposite of the timid and whiny character that she is. Kenyon's heros are still the best and I will definitely still look forward to the next book.
I like this Dark-Hunter and wanted to like the new series but I just can't recommend.I am sorry to say, it just sucked. Better luck next time.
Loved the DK series but this was one of the worst books i've ever read. The heroine is suppose to be a feared bounty hunter who was one of the few to pass difficulty seax training, but she keeps making stupid juvenile mistakes like taking Shy back to her condo once he is broken out of prison. I guess the authorities won't find him there! Duh! And Shy come on! She breaks into your house to kill you and you keep her locked up in it with free reign of the house. Then you come home After not sleeping for awhile and proceed to fall asleep on the couch! Will not read another book in this series.
I enjoyed the heck out of this book as I did the first of this new series. I'm totally looking forward to the next one as well. While the heroine made some goofy mistakes that she should've known better, I still think she was great. I was glad to see Shay find a good match for herself! I've always loved reading Sherrilyn Kenyon and will continue to read so long as she continues to write.
Chris Baty is hysterical. Somehow he has convinced 100,000+ people to write...
