The wife reads her.

I have some of her books. Does that count? :laugh: I get so many books I never seem to catch up
and I've never got around to reading hers. My book collection rivals my local library.

Same here... in fact when my older son moved out, I moved into his room with all my mystery books *G Still have piles on books...I am going with, "but it's decoration" defense.

It's really awful when I look at my stash and very depressing in a way since I don't think I could get
through them all if I lived to be a 100, yet I keep buying more. I found an author in my stash that I
had been buying the books of for 10 years and finally got around to reading. Her books are great and
I could kick myself for waiting so long to read them but I went through a half dozen in just a few weeks
so it didn't take long to read them once I set my mind to it. The books were by Beverly Connor and she
writes forensic novels. She has two series going and the second one is really really good. The first is good
to once you get past the first two books which were her first and a little on the light side. Her quality of
writing really picked up after that.

Oh no... another author to add to my list. I am in deep trouble here, folks : )

I am two books behind, still need to read 'Upon the midnight clear' & 'Dream Chaser'. She blew my mind with 'Dance with the Devil'... Zarek.

Me too Zarek is my favorite. Did you read Devil May Cry with Sin and Katra?
I love the mixture of comedy and tragedy and actio and romance. I wish it were on TV or Movies what an interesting World she's created.

I did... I think those two books are my favorites. I love how she weaves mythology thru-out the story but WOW, are her guys tortured.
I seem to be having posting problems... forgive me if this is all blue :-[

No worries. Oooooo I am so looking forward to reading Acheron's book. The anticipation is like Christmas.
Okay, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Beverly Connor. Adding them to my list! I love mystery/suspense novels. Especially the forensic authors like Patricia Cornwell. I'm really enjoying Harlan Coben, John Sandford and David Baldacci. They are more spy-type thrillers. Then, every once in awhile, I gotta have a good smutty romance novel thrown in the mix! Just finished Harry Potter (#6) and am starting on Johanna Lindsey!
Well I just finished Acheron. I was good but I felt like I read 2 books. The beginning is all about the pain of his childhood. It was more than I wanted to know. The preset day was too short by consequence. It was a good book but now I am looking forward to Fang and Aimee's story. :D

I haven't picked up my copy yet... I missed getting it on sale and now I have to wait until I get ahead of my bills. I can't wait!
I just finished One Silent Night- Stryker's story.
Woman catch up so we can talk about how good Sherrilyn is. I just love her mind. She has a good soul.

I have both of them on my Christmas list.... so soon I will be able to chat. Talking to her at ComicCon was wonderful... I loved how she took all these esoteric classes in college (like Sanskrit) & her Dad asked her what in the world she would do with them... she said, "create my own world" LOVED IT!
Well? Did you get any Sherrilyn Kenyon?
I want to talk about it but I have no one to talk about it with.

I am drained! What a book... I kept wondering how she was going to keep the story moving forward but she exceeded my expectations. His human life was so hard to read but I think that it did need to be as long and as horrific as it was because it made me really understand just how incredible Ash became. I feel like I was in another world for the week it took me to read. Reading the next one about Stryker was way easier. Finished that one in one day *G

Yay you made it!
Reading Acheron was like reading 2 books. Although I agree its important I would rather not have soooo much detail. Once we reach present day it felt like a second book. It took me almost to the end to realize it was, we read Ryssa's Diary in the beginning, that made it better. I loved the show down with Artemis in her temple that was awesome.
Stryker's story was great. I loved finding out more about Nick. :)

I didn't realize that the first part was Ryssa's Diary... ack I think I read it too fast & it took me a week! It was about time that Artemis got the short end of the stick! I cried thinking about what a good soul Acheron had even while being so abused. He could have so easily become like Zarek. I didn't think Kenyon could push the story along without disappointing me... Acheron was such an important character & I had some firm feelings about him. Loved reading about why Ash wore Goth clothes... never thought about it dulling his "special" force. The best was how she weaved the final part with Tory... WOW!
Didn't you feel that she made Stryker become nicer too fast?
Nick... now he is going to be a fascinating story esp. since Ash has to train him *G

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one to fail to realize it.
Tory telling off Artemis is my favorite part.
I don't think Stryker was nicer, we just got to see a different side. He and Ash agreed to keep fighting since they can't come together.
I think she was stuck with Nick but now she has another road to go.
I would like more werehunter books. I know she's working on Fang and Aimee and she wrote a short story for fury.
I'm going to have to reread the whole series at some point.

I just remember Stryker being so cold hearted with Urian that I couldn't reconcile the old with the new. I did like the touch of him having the tattoo and the photos in his dresser drawer. But why was Jaden being tortured by his daughter?
I agree, she had trapped him in the corner with his anger & I loved how she was able to come up with a plausible reason for him to have to deal with Ash. Can't wait to see that story! I bet there will be fireworks for sure.
I lean more towards the darkhunters and the gods but I will enjoy seeing the guy that finally reaches Aimee *G
I decided that this spring or summer I am going to do exactly that... I want to read them closer together and catch all the tidbits that I missed by reading the stories so far apart.

I think Stryker killed him in the heat of anger. He loved Urian and was sorry he did it.
Jaden is the focus or her next arc. We'll find out more I'm sure. :)

Am I remembering wrong, in that, Stryker was really critical of Urian? Now I am going to have to reread Urian's story... can't keep them straight.
Can't wait for that one... Jaden really intrigued me.

He can be real critical and still love his son. Stryker is hard, and unloving. I always felt sad for him that Appolymi never love him like a son even though she saved him and raised him.

Appolymi could only love Acheron, unfortunately. I did like how Stryker was able to finally recognize his own failings... takes an awfully strong man to do that.
