Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon comes the next thrilling installment in her blockbuster Dark-Hunter® series

Harm no human…

A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.

Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief—Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters and training for the day when she meeting the man who killed her family: Jess Brady.

A gun in the hand is worth two in the holster…

Jess has been charged with finding and terminating the creature who's assassinating Dark-Hunters. The last thing he expects to find is a human face behind the killings, but when that face bears a striking resemblance to the one who murdered him centuries ago, he knows something evil is going on. He also knows he's not the one who killed her parents. But Abigail refuses to believe the truth and is determined to see him dead once and for all.

Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, they must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they've sworn to protect.

    I had a hard time getting into this story and for the first time ever, didn't really like the heroine. In fact, I was sort of hoping someone would kill her off and Jess would meet someone else. She eventually grew on me a bit but the chemistry between her and Jess seemed forced. Maybe with more character development it would have felt more organic, like previous novels in the series. This one is forgettable so only buy it if it's on sale.
  • Astounding!

    I absolutely love this series! Sherrilyn Kenyon is an amazing author. Ever since the "Twilight Saga" I had been reading other "teen" appropriate sci-fi books and thought they were great. Then I stumbled upon "Fantasy Lover" and discovered a whole other world for adults in that genre and now I'm hooked! I really hope there will be more to come in this series specifically. Keep that mind working Sherrilyn! I hope you will gift us with a couple more of the "Dark Hunter" stories.

    I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am in this book. Waited so long....& I just couldn't get into it at all. Took me over a week to read - truly a 1st for me with a new Kenyon Book! Indian gods...HUH?!? Um...what about the Greeks? She threw in Sumerians...fine...but now Cherokee Indian ones? Too many different directions & not enough substance. It seemed there was no dialog - just constant ANNOYING Sarcasm! I miss her earlier writing - now THOSE were fantastic books. Gave it 3 stars for the "Bonus Scene" in the end...NOT for Retribution. The "heroin" was killing off Dark Hunters for crying out loud! And NOTHING?!? Ugh! Save your $12.99 - so not worth it...
  • Fantastic!
