Publisher's summary

Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron spent a lifetime of shame. His human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Brought back against his will, he became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple. For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he never wants revealed - until a lone woman who refuses to be intimidated by him threatens his very existence.

Now his survival, and ours, hinges on hers, and old enemies reawaken and unite to kill them both. War has never been more deadly...or more fun.

Love in vein: listen to another Dark-Hunter novel.

2nd half of the book is great!

What made the experience of listening to Acheron the most enjoyable?

The last half of the book is a good love story.

What did you like best about this story?

It had good humor in the 2nd half

What about Holter Graham’s performance did you like?

Hes my favorite so far.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

No

Any additional comments?

Warning! The first 12 hours of this book is very hard to listen to. I almost didn't want to finish, but once you get the the 2nd half it is worth it and explains a lot. I do wish she would have not taken so long in writing about all the horrible things that happen to him. I am realizing with this author she tends to start off slow in her books and when you are half way through it becomes a great story and you end up wanting more.

Finally Acheron's Story

If you could sum up Acheron in three words, what would they be?

Heartbreaking, Heartwarming, Perfect

What did you like best about this story?

The fact that we finally find out Acheron's complete story. Even though some aspects are hard to listen to, its interesting that the author came up with so much detail and background for the character. It explains why he is the way he is. Its a long book, but worth the listen for the fans of the series.

What about Holter Graham’s performance did you like?

I love Holter Graham. He's one of my favorite narrators.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Acheron: The Dark Hunter

Any additional comments?

I'm glad Acheron's complete story was given. Its a long listen, but very worth it in the end.

Holter Graham gives a very good Performance

There is nothing about the book or audio performance that I did not like. As a long time Kenyon fan I love I can put the book/kindle down and continue with the Audible when traveling, when doing housework and when I am at the gym !!

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the Dark Hunters and would recommend any of them, but I was glad to finally get to Acheron's story. I will warn that the first part is heart breaking, but necesary to understand Acheron's character. Tory is a perfect match for Acheron. Holter Graham is excellent. Don't miss any of these books
