Publisher's summary

The most highly-anticipated novel in the Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series since Acheron is here—the unforgettable story of Styxx, Acheron's twin brother and one of the most powerful beings on earth

Just when you thought doomsday was over . . .

Centuries ago Acheron saved the human race by imprisoning an ancient evil bent on absolute destruction. Now that evil has been unleashed and it is out for revenge.

As the twin to Acheron, Styxx hasn't always been on his brother's side. They've spent more centuries going at each other's throats than protecting their backs. Now Styxx has a chance to prove his loyalty to his brother, but only if he's willing to trade his life and future for Acheron's.

The Atlantean goddess of Wrath and Misery, Bethany was born to right wrongs. But it was never a task she relished. Until now.

She owes Acheron a debt that she vows to repay, no matter what it takes. He will join their fellow gods in hell and nothing is going to stop her. But things are never what they seem, and Acheron is no longer the last of his line. Styxx and Acheron must put aside their past and learn to trust each other or more will suffer.

Yet it's hard to risk your own life for someone who once tried to take yours, even when it's your own twin, and when loyalties are skewed and no one can be trusted, not even yourself, how do you find a way back from the darkness that wants to consume the entire world? One that wants to start by devouring your very soul?

Critic reviews

“[A] publishing phenomenon . . . [Sherrilyn Kenyon is] the reigning queen of the wildly successful paranormal scene . . . Just one example of arguably the most in-demand and prolific authors in America these days.” —Publishers Weekly

“Kenyon's writing is brisk, ironic and relentless imaginative. These are not your mother's vampire novels.” —Boston Globe

Love....Styxx over ALL Others

this was the best and saddest. Love is the only answer. a must read for everyone. i cried and laughed and cursed but was over joyed i finally listened.

Best book of the series so far!!

What did you love best about Styxx?

Everything he went through and still the good man he was. He went through more than Acheron every dreamed of and still didn't hate the world.

What did you like best about this story?

I've cried for 2 days now listening to this book. It broke my heart. Puts Acheron to shame.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole book.

Any additional comments?

Love this series. It's hard for an author not to keep regurgitating story lines when I series gets 20+ books in it but not this series. It's always new. A totally different story that stills follows the main storyline.

An Epic Book in the Series

What did you like best about this story?

Although this is part of the Dark Hunter series, it is the first book that is not about a dark hunter. It surprisingly takes you on a journey that has you questioning how much you know and love about the series central character, Acheron. Styxx has an amazing story that rivals Acheron's in every sense, and the ending seamlessly brings together a large cast of characters from the previous 22 books.

Which character – as performed by Fred Berman – was your favorite?

Great GREAT overall performance. I do think I enjoyed Acheron's adult voice the best. Galen was great as well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

One of the best books yet

After reading or listening to Acheron, you will be like, I hate Styxx! Why do I want to read a book about him? You will not regret it as he will become one of your strongest and most cherished characters. Sherrilyn Kenyon continues to weave her stories into an unforgettable universe where you cannot get enough of the characters.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would! Its a story about how there are three sides to ever story, yours, theirs, and the truth.

Fulfilled all it's promises and more

The voices are awesome even his Simi voice is nearly dead on to what you would expect her to really sound like.

Will make you cry! Emotionally draining you really feel for the characters involved.

This has got to be my FAVORITE

Loved the way this book brought so many people back together. I think this was her best written book by far.
Everyone of the main characters learned to never judge and love is stronger emotion.

I am going to stop no spoilers from me.
