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.

Better Than Most Audiobook Experiences

I normally don't like audiobooks because it's all monotone. The narrator gave voices, pauses and emotion which helps convey the story.

A must have for fans of the series!

I love that we finally get some background on Ash. However do NOT get this book until you've read the others. This book refers to events detailed in other books. It's not truly required as this book does stand on its own, but it adds so much depth that might otherwise be missed.

Best story yet!

Ash’s book is by far the best one out of the series. Can’t wait for more!

Here for the book, stayed for the narrator

I have already loved this book for years. When I started my Audible subscription, I knew I would have to use my credit on this audiobook, since I lost my hardcover version. It took me 2 or 3 chapters to warm up to the thought of a narrator (I've never listened to audiobooks before), but once I got used it, I realized how much Holter was killing this performance. Honestly a 10/10 experience. I've listed to abt 7 hours so far, and even the really tough parts to read were delivered kindly and accurately. Would recommend

Amazing storytelling but the narration

I first read this book years ago and then just started audiobook of it and the story is just as compelling as I remembered but the narration, ooof, needs work. The narrator makes all if not most of the women sound beyond whiny and childish. I get it he’s trying to act out a female voice but come on. Otherwise, it’s spot on.

OUTSTANDING-BUT BEWARE!

This was the first Kenyon book that I listened to and I was instantly hooked. The narration of the this book is outstanding and the scope of its story is absolutely engaging. I will offer a warning, however. This book is not for the faint of heart. There are intense, and explicit scenes of violence and sexuality.

Awesome as always

Yet again Sherilyn has managed to tie her books of the Dark Hunters all together. Now that I have read Acheron I am going back to the 1st book to start all over again.
