A Dark-Hunter Novel

By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrated by: Maggi-Meg Reed

Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks until she gets a lead on the biggest story in town: The Seattle Slayer. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a tip on the latest rash of killings. Instead, she gets a story about the mayor feeding citizens to a ring of vampires. Yeah, just another day in her life.

Then she gets talked into adopting a cat she's allergic to. Her first thought is to neuter the cat. But when he turns out to be a gorgeous shapeshifting man who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer she thinks: not so fast. Next thought: seek professional help.

Susan doesn't know what to believe, but as she's drawn into a paranormal world, she comes to realize that the story that could bring her credibility is too unbelievable to expose. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers, it's a matter of saving lives and souls, and her only ally is a man she's allergic to.

In the world of the Dark-Hunters, it's always dangerous. But never more so than when one very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is...will she? Dark Side of the Moon is full of Sherrilyn Kenyon's trademark sexy humor and breathtaking imagination.

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

Short Story

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

So far I've like most every DH Audible but I was disappointed in this one because I felt cheated since it was just slightly over 4 hrs. I downloaded it before I noticed it was abridged, meaning most of the story line was lost since it was shortened. Don't get me wrong, I did like the story line/plot but it felt way too short for a DH audible and left me wanting more. I suggest you read the book to get the full impact of the novel then wait for someone to come to their senses and rerecord unabridged. From now on I'll look carefully before downloading and not waste my time on abridged.

What did you like best about this story?

Learned more about the Were-Hunters/Dark Hunters

Which character – as performed by Maggi-Meg Reed – was your favorite?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No laughing or crying, just disappointed it was so short

Any additional comments?

Loved Susan but as the main character there should have been more to her but it was lost since this is an abridged novel.

Dark side of the moon.

Great book love all of Sherrilyn Kenyons books.

Mad Fun!

I thought this book was a blast. Fast pace, appealing characters, snappy dialougue and an excellent reader. Of Course there are shape- shifting dark hunters saving humanity from the evil daemons. Makes purrfect sense!

Like PB&J - but no PB or J. Just plain bread.

I know this is an abridged version, I wasn’t able to find an unabridged audio version,
But I wanted to get insight into Susan and Raven. I was highly disappointed.

This story goes over all the basics of being a Dark Hunter, were-animal, daemon, etc... If you have read/listened to the other books it’s annoying how much detail they go into unnecessarily.

I bought this book so I could get some insight into Susan and Raven, but there’s no real depth to their relationship and ZERO on the romantic interludes. Let’s be honest, if you like Sherrilyn Kenyon, you’re listening because you like the romantic interludes.

Whoever abridged this version needs to be fired. It’s clear they had not read the other books and don’t know the audience.

Not going to give something away - but something HUGE happens in this book! It makes me wonder what I missed 😕.

where are the rest of the books?

I have listened to the books and love them. I need book 4 thru 9 now! Had to skip to book 10, why are the others not out yet and why does it skip so many?

A quickie...but still important to the story line

Would you listen to Dark Side of the Moon again? Why?

yes...there was some important information about Nick and other characters...

What did you like best about this story?

the new findings on characters..

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

it is hard to get used to a new reader after listening to another for a while...this lady wasn't as good with the different accents....

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

Dark secrets will be revealed...or....The changes one makes for love...

Great! Sexy! Exciting! And on audio!

I am soooo excited to see that Sherrilyn's books are now on Audible! I love them, but know that I will only get to read them when I have 3 hours at a time - because I can't put them down. Now I can listen - and my only complaint is that it 'listened' as fast as they usually read. I wanted it to last longer.

Wanting more!

My ONLY disappointment in this book was that it was the abridged version, but it was still awesome! It'll make you laugh & hang onto the edge of your seat at the same time as well as some sighing for the mushier scenes. I really hope for more of her books to show up on audible!!!

a full length comic book

This book should have been labeled a comic book in the genre of the Fantastic Four. I would not recommend it to anyone interested in a real fiction novel.

Abridged & Destroyed

The vocal performance is fantastic and the original story is great. This is one of the few books I’ve ever been able to sit and read, attention issues, but this “abridged” version just destroyed the book. Half of the book is left out! The full audio book is like 12 hours long. That should tell you all you need to know.
