About this book
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?

Maybe I'm in the minority but I never hated Styxx. I felt sorry for him because I imagined how it would be to have your life screwed with by selfish gods before you were even born. From the minute he walked onto the pages of Night Embrace I knew he wasn't just another \"bad guy\" and that he too had dark secrets, much like Acheron. After all, if Ash's looks drew trouble to him, then surely as his twin, Styxx's did as well. So it was with child like delight (and a little drool) that I snagged my...

Epic in scope and length, Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest offering has everything. I mean that in the most literal way. Absolutely everything. Eleven thousand years of ... well ... What would you like? If it's fantasy, sexual, violent, weird ... it's here. My reality has been a real drag lately, so despite the fact that I had stopped reading Ms. Kenyon's books a while back, I got this. Actually, to be fair, I forgot that I had pre-ordered it months ago, so when it showed up on my Kindle, I said \"Oh,...

After reading many of the reviews for Styxx, I find I must have been in a camp alone. I never really hated Styxx. I didn't like him much when he was on scene but I always thought there must be something major in his past for him to carry that much hate around for so many centuries. I also believed there was no way Acheron could have remembered their boyhood motto \"Brothers-always and forever\" if there wasn't a very strong bond formed between the two before it was broken. The only characters I...

This is the 23 book in this series (not counting novella's) and since we first learned about Acheron's royal brat brother, I have hated Styxx. I mean lets be honest, the only reason why Styxx has ever done anything for Acheron was because Artemis forced Styxx to experience Acheron's life.So, when this book popped up on Amazon for pre-order, I refused to push the button. Why do I want to read a story about a spoiled brat who realizes Ash actually had a horrible life and had a sudden epiphany and...

Let's see, how do I accurately review this? I suppose I could describe this book as heartbreaking, gripping, viceral, and gutwrenching. I never thought I would fall in love with a character I hated...and hate a character I used to love and then come to treasure them both. Definitely not for the faint of heart, to be sure. If I thought Acheron and his backstory was sob worthy... whoa. Styxx is...well, let's just say that BOTH books should have come with a trigger warning for rape, incest (yes,...
