So over half of the story is the back story with no love story. Acheron (Dark-Hunter, Book 12) (Dark-Hunter Novels) (p. Guess we can’t all have what we want, huh?” “And I don’t like your head attached to your shoulders. Put that pressure on Acheron’s shoulders as well. Apollymi is the ultimate mom, but unfortunately would end the world if ever released.

She goes on a pretty good rampage until they figure out how to bring back Acheron, thus imprisoning Apollymi again. Well, Momma is one mad goddess and no one is safe. When Apollymi hid Acheron, her husband and some others imprisoned Apollymi and she can only be released if Acheron dies. It was just so gut wrenching….only to have him pulled back into existence by the bitch Artemis. He was happy when he died more for peace, no pain, giving up the will to find hope. I can’t go into much detail about all this without giving away spoilers, so just trust me, Acheron’s life was a living Hell. Holy Hell, why does this poor man have to go through all this shit? Artemis won’t acknowledge publicly they are a couple because she is a virgin goddess. Unfortunately he is too naive in the way of true love and this turns into an act of torture to read. She starts off all enthralled in Acheron, and Acheron needs love, hope and someone who cares. This is where we find out how they met, how she caused his death and how above all she tied him to her. A virgin goddess of the hunt, but also Acheron’s nemesis for most of the Dark-Hunter series. While angry, he desecrates Artemis’s temple and brings about a new Hell into his life.Īrtemis … well, she is a royal bitch. He goes alone to the theatre to lose himself into a story, only to be found out at times. Ryssa loves him, and in some way he loves her, but he can’t let himself hope for anything better. Unfortunately there needed to be a lot more rules. When he starts to die, so dos Styxx, fulfilling the rules put into place to save Acheron. They cage in him in the dungeon with no room to move. The atrocities that he goes through almost made me throw the book against the wall! The hatred the King and Styxx (his twin brother) have for Acheron has no bounds of darkness. Every misdeed is blamed on him even when he had no involvement. Acheron eventually comes back home to the kingdom he was born in, but nothing is ever easy. Through all of this there are dates and times marking the progress of the story. We finally get to see Acheron’s side of the story once he is about 19. Slowly Acheron starts to feel again and come out from the slave yoke, but you know it isn’t going to end well. She really expects her family to accept Acheron even when they have only shown him shame. Ryssa is such a kind hearted woman, but extremely naive. What is done to him, rips my heart apart. Acheron is too young at this point to be anything associated with sexy. It’s hard to read because it isn’t pretty, sexy, or nice.

This is a large part of the story all told from Ryssa’s point of view.

Ryssa tries to rescue Acheron, but things never really work out the way you expect. I won’t go into all that is done to Acheron, but he has been made into a prostitute, beaten and living on a animal level. At a young age Acheron is sent off with the King’s brother to Atlantis, where Ryssa believe’s Acheron is living the life of a prince until one day she gets a letter saying she should visit. She accepts Acheron when no one in the family does. The next section of the story is told from Ryssa’s point of view…who’s Ryssa? Ryssa is the seven year old sister to the twins. Acheron is to be a twin prince whose life is tied to the other son, but when he is born with swirling silver eyes, the King turns his back on him as a bastard son his wife conceived while cheating on him. Without much time, she hides her son in the human world with a Queen about to give birth to a son. When the story opens we meet Acheron’s mother, Apollymi (Goddess of Life, Death, Destruction & Wisdom) who is trying to save her unborn son from his father, Archon, who wants to end his life over a prophecy. It starts from the beginning while Acheron is still in his mother’s womb…many, many…well a heck of a lot more than many years ago. There were elements I wish I had never read and elements I so wanted never to end. Why? Well, I have a love and hate relationship with it. I can never do justice to this book in a review. In the end it was all good and she gets a badass ending! While Tori was a wonderful heroine, I think I wanted a little more for Acheron. No person or God should ever have the life he did. I finally get to learn all about Acheron and the secrets he hides! Oh, man this was a big book and I didn’t skip over sections! I dreamed about him and the agony he went through.
