About this book

Kyrian of Thrace is a man defined by solitude and the shadows of a brutal ancient past. As a Dark-Hunter, he is an immortal warrior sworn to protect humanity from the relentless scourge of vampires. His lethal, solitary existence is shattered when he wakes up handcuffed to the most unexpected person imaginable: a pragmatic, modern-day accountant named Amanda Devereaux.

This high-stakes paranormal romance masterfully blends historical grit with contemporary wit. While Kyrian hails from the dusty, violent battlefields of ancient Greece, Amanda is firmly rooted in the spreadsheets of the present. Their forced proximity creates a combustible dynamic that serves as the perfect anchor for a world teeming with gods, demons, and celestial warfare. As they navigate a deadly hunt, the contrast between Kyrian’s dark, brooding intensity and Amanda’s sharp-tongued resilience keeps the tension high and the banter electric.

If you are craving a series that balances epic world-building with genuine humor and heart-pounding action, this is your next obsession. It is more than just a battle for survival; it is a captivating introduction to a vast, supernatural universe where the stakes are absolute. Dive into a world where ancient legends collide with modern lives and discover why the Dark-Hunters have captured the imaginations of readers everywhere.

An amazing start to an amazing series!

September 23, 2013

Our very own blogger, Jacqie, introduced me to this author with her review of the \"first\" book in this series, Fantasy Lover (which happens to be a prequel to this series). The series sounded fantastic, so I knew I must try it out! And it was worth it! This book has some of the characteristics that I love in a great book series: passion, desire, great sex, and the paranormal. All rolled up in one amazing book! Amanda Deveraux is a conservative know-it-all who has had enough with dating other...

These dark Hunter stories are intense. I'm rereading this fantastic book. This series is filled with action, gods and goddesses, mortals and demons. )

This Series Is for Me

I have to start with the fact that I loved the humor in the characters. Whenever the story got too serious Kyrian or Amanda or Nick said something to lighten it up. I really appreciated that. Humor isn't used enough in these kinds of stories. *Some Spoilers* Kyrian and Amanda were great together. They had all these witty comebacks, their chemistry was hot, and the vulnerability and emotion between them was deep. While I was a little put-off by how fast they lusted on each other, their growing...

Cant Get Enough

Before anything else can I just say that Ive developed a fictional crush on Kyrian? Ive read several Dark Hunter books and still, Kyrian's personality and character are my all time favorite. The book might lack a little in plot, \"Oh no, the bad guys mistaken you for your twin! I need to protect you!\" BUT Kyrian and Amanda's chemistry make up for it a million times fold. I was pleased to find out that this Kyrian is the same that is spoken about in Fantasy Lover, the first installment of the...

Kyrian can bite me any time!

June 26, 2005

This is by far the best of Sherrilyn kenyon's books and the original Dark Hunter novel. It builds off of the prequil if you will of Julian's story in Fantasy Lover. If you want to avidly read this series than you need to start with this book to fully understand everything that follows. Kyrian was screwed over big time in life by the one person he had given up his kingdom and his family for...his wife. Transformed into a Dark Hunter to seek a revenge he never took, Kyrian has been entrusted by...
