**I WILL GUSH SO SPOILER ALERT TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ** So, I started this series a couple of weeks ago. At the recommendations of you lovely ladies, I went ahead and bought the first 6 books. I am SO GLAD that I did. Let's just say that yesterday, Nancy bought the rest of the series! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. I think it's my new second favorite series! The mythology, love it! The depth of the characters, love it! It's just great. For someone with a Philosophy minor who took Classics classes, it's right up my alley. It's got everything -- Vampires, Demons, Weres, Magic, Gods and Goddesses. I fucking LOVE it! Can you tell I love it? I even loved the first one, Fantasy Lover, but I am ALL into Greek Mythology. I didn't see how it had to do with the Dark Hunters, but I was going by her websites Reading Order. =) I've read up to Valerius and Tabitha's story -- Seize the Night. Sins of the Night is next. That and the next 7 should be in a few days from now. BTW, Amazon is having a buy 3 paperbacks get the 4th free sale! Acheron is the hottest fucking thing on two legs! Although, Julian is up there too. _______________ Just Finished: The Mers Book One by Ami Blackwelder Now Reading:Guardians of the Gate Book 2: An Elf Romance by Ami Blackwelder Next Up:Re-reading Deathless and Helpless by Scott Prussing FaeStruck's Shelfari http://www.shelfari.com/o1518098583

You will love this series. I just finished it up to the newest one that just came out. I'm with you on that it's my fav next to the BDB. Wait till Acheron's story. That has to be the best espectially if you are into Greek myth like I am. It goes all the way back to when he was born and explains all. I agree with you on Acheron - Fucking hot. _______________ JUST FINISHED LOVER MINE - BY THE GODDESS! Finished: Bad Moon Rising by S.

Back at ya ! It gets so intense with Acheron. Just love him - can't believe I admit it but he is my favourite even over the brothers. Let us know what you think of Nick when you get closer to the end as well ? Not saying I love him not saying I hate him !

I also love this series! Though I haven't finished it, I'm going to very soon. I read so many of them so fast that I needed a break.  I think my fav (so far) is Zarek! I'm with you FS, Sherrilyn Kenyon really goes into the characters and makes you experience their lives. Which is never good. _______________ Currently Reading: Hunger Games Just Finished: Lover Reborn Up Next: Who the Hell knows.....

I absolutely loved this series as well. I read the first 15 in a row. The only thing that changed for me was when I got into dream hunters. I thought is was boring and hated it. Oh and FS, look up K-Conn, it's around Halloween and in New Orleans which I believe is by you! _______________ Just read: Taken by Midnight Currently reading: Eternal Kiss of Darkness UP next: Just realized I have no idea what I'm reading next!

I love it too! I started reading it in random oerder but after reading Acheron (and what a read that was : painful and awful but still beautiful!) I decided to start from the beginning. I'm now in the middle of Tabitha and Valerius's story and I'm totally addicted...

I agree with you Jez - but I had to read one of them because I was having withdrawals and had to be back in their world

His name is Savitar. Awesome dude ! I hope there is a story about him because I'd say he would be as interesting as Acheron. My husband is looking forward to when he gets to read a bit about him in the series, because the idea of a floating island looking for surf is his dream life.

I remeber reading somewhere that there will be a book on Savitar, I just have no idea where I read that.

How do you girls all read so quick ! I go to bed and think I'll read for ages and then my eyes just have to close after a while. You all must sit up till all hours in the morning to finish them off. Must be once you hit the 40s we need a nanna nap in the afternoons.

I'm 30 and I have the same problem! I get like 15-20 pages in and I can't keep my eyes open. I am really missing my free weekends when I would just sit on the couch and read.  _______________ Just read: Taken by Midnight Currently reading: Eternal Kiss of Darkness UP next: Just realized I have no idea what I'm reading next!

*pout, lip quiver* NO NAP! I read about 100 pages an hour and am over 40 (sad) and only need about 6 hours sleep.

LOL Naps Hahaha I can barely get my kids to take them. I just read whenever I can. Oh, I read when nursing the baby so that gives me a LOT of time to read. _______________ Just Finished: The Mers Book One by Ami Blackwelder Now Reading:Guardians of the Gate Book 2: An Elf Romance by Ami Blackwelder Next Up:Re-reading Deathless and Helpless by Scott Prussing FaeStruck's Shelfari http://www.shelfari.com/o1518098583

I wish I COULD have a nanna nap in the afternoons, that's why I can't get past 11pm most nights. With my busy life I tend to read while I'm having breakfast now! Anyone else do that or have I just become obsessed? I only work part time but when I'm home I have to look at the mess my family leaves and it puts me off relaxing.

I'm on Ravyn and Susan's book right now and just not getting into that one as much as the other's for some reason. Maybe it's because of where my head is (my great-grandmother is dying -- she's home with hospice now) but I read Wren and Maggie's Sunday and LOVED it. I'm just not connecting with these two characters for some reason. I wanna bitchslap Nick at this point. _______________ Just Finished: The Mers Book One by Ami Blackwelder Now Reading:Guardians of the Gate Book 2: An Elf Romance by Ami Blackwelder Next Up:Re-reading Deathless and Helpless by Scott Prussing FaeStruck's Shelfari http://www.shelfari.com/o1518098583

Damn, maybe it's my migraine. Maybe I need to re-read it. I dunno. I'm just not "getting" it.
