No Mercy (Dark-Hunter Series #14)

battlefield. Fans of the ever expanding urban fantasy saga will appreciate Sherrilyn Kenyon's super entry

The assault on Sanctuary left many dead and severely injured while the once safe zone is rightfully no longer considered as such. Shapeshifter Dev Peltier and his family guarded Sanctuary for centuries, but with their parents dead, he and his siblings must regroup, but mentally struggle with grief and concern that the enemy has grown stronger than them. They know they survived the battle of New Orleans because the Dark-Hunters allied with his were-hunters to fight the wolves.

Former Amazon warrior turned Dark-Hunter Samia Savage, who was at Troy and the Sanctuary battles, returns to the Big Easy to keep Nick Gautier safe. However, Stryker apparently wants her most likely because of her and her gift for psychometric skills. Dev also wants her because he is attracted to her. Sam desires Dev too although both understands that is taboo.

Although the romantic premise is somewhat similar to Bad Moon Rising, this is a terrific entry made fresh by the aftermath of the Sanctuary assault and the female Dark Hunter (Huntress perhaps more descriptive). The story line is fast-paced and filled with non-stop action from the moment Sam arrives riding her bike and informs Dev she is as passionately furious in the sack as she is on the battlefield. Fans of the ever expanding urban fantasy saga will appreciate Sherrilyn Kenyon's super entry as even allies make strange bedfellows.

If it wasn't part of the series, I would have skipped it

I am a fan of Sherrily Kenyon, and the Dark Hunter series in particular, but I did not care for this book. The two main characters (Sam and Dev) were great. Even though their relationship was incredibly quick, I loved their banter. I also enjoyed learning more about Dev. He is crazy funny. There was also good stuff with Nick and Ash. What I did not enjoy was the overall plot. It just didn't work for me. A riddle, an obstacle course. What??? If you are a fan of the series, you have to read just to see what is happening in Ash's life, but other than that, I cannot recommend (and I feel really bad about that).

Death to Artemis!!! Death to Apollo!!! Death to The Moirae!!!!

This was Great!

Sam Savage...unlike most of the Dark-Hunters had a grudge against the Daimons even before she died.Her sister wanted to become the Amazonian queen so she made a pact with a group of supernatural creatures to kill Samia,her husband (Ioel),and her daugther to remove them from the line of succession.

That brutal act of betrayal made her not only a dark-hunter,but A Dog of War(hunters so bad that their constantly watched.)

In No Mercy the were-hunters and dark-hunters realize that the daimons have begun to feed on demons and have gained the power to walk in daylight.

I loved this book.
It was ironic,funny,and really imaginative.
And also 2 of her characters from Dark Side of the Moon (Amaranda and Cael) came back. I hope Amaranda eats a Gallu Demon soon,because I myself really like her character. ^-^

The reason why I took a star off is because the "Divine" twins.
Also,Nick still doesn't get it.And it looks like he's gonna be taking Acheron's place as the buffer between Artemis and the Hunters.
And of course their was the Moirae.Ash needs to kill them. And watch out for Sam because she's starting to learn about his past.

Good read!

I love the Dark-Hunter Series. This is a good read but I have to agree with some of the other reviews that it just didn't have the same emotion as some of the previous books. I love getting to know the characters. Maybe it would have made the book to long to go more in depth with both Dev and Sam. It is still a must read for anyone who is a Kenyon, Dark-Hunter fan.

Same Old, Same Old

I'm a big fan of the Dark Hunter series. Unfortunately, the last few (with the exception of Acheron which was amazing)have been pretty repetitive and this one is following the same pattern with nothing new to spice it up. Tortured dark hunter falls for a non-dark hunter, they must fight to save themselves and the world, and in the end the impossible doomed relationship manages to work out. Don't get me wrong, I love a happy ending....but it seems like the same ending replaying with different characters.

not as good as usual...

I love Kenyon. I just couldn't get into this like I usally do. It seemed predictable. And I really liked Sam and Dev. It was the conflict part of the story I couldn't sink into. It seemed like we met a lot of new "world players" and I couldn't keep them all straight. I didn't get enough of each of them to grow an interest or real dislike of the bad guys. Seemed rushed. I'm still looking forward to the next book, and I'll keep reading Dark Hunter Series. But I'd wait for paperback if I had to do it over.

Good story but way too short.

I loved the characters and the plot. The length of this book made it not worth the wait and money paid to have it on the first day. This book had enough going on that had she spent a little more time on it would have given her fans their moneys worth. Feeling cheated.

It's about time we got a female Dark Hunter story.

I love the whole series. She is a very talented writter. All her stories take you to another world. It's a great escape from a normal boring life.

I loved it & couldnt put the book down, read it to fast....and had to wait to long for the next book....

Great, as usual!

Haven't read the past few books, now it's a must! I was surprised that shapeshifters were added to the story. Clever! Glad to see that Archeron and Simi are still active. Enjoyed all the characters and the story. Have to dash off to play catch up on the Dark Hunters! My surprise was Nick's capabilities and the "Archeron-like-type" person who oversees the Werehunters! Definitely need to catch up!

No Mercy

I loved it. I have read the whole Dark Hunter Series. Loved everyone of them. Thank you for so many hrs of great reading..

The name says it all

Ever since the series began, I was looking forward to Dev's book. Dev is one of the ultra hot were-bears at Sanctuary. He guards the door and has a twisted enough sense of humor to actually have Artemis' double bow and arrow that she marks her Dark-Hunters with tattooed on his delicious body.


So when No Mercy came out, I was very excited. I still can't believe it took me so long to read it. Shame on me, I know.

This is a fabulous installment in a series I love so much. You learn a lot of new information, especially about our favorite Were-Bear family. And I really loved Sam, our heroine.

Samia Savage is a Dark-Hunter and a member of the Dogs of War - the truly kickass elite of the Dark-hunters - and despite the fact that she truly lives up to her last name, you find a lot of touching and heartbreaking things to do with Sam's past. She was a character I could definitely connect with.

I found myself on the edge of my seat as I waited to see how this story would turn out with Acheron no longer Artemis' Call Boy - after all that was how he got the other Dark-Hunter's their souls back - and lots of premonitions of Death.


I enjoyed every minute of this book, especially the big twist at the end. But I won't say anymore about that.

Love this series...

The Dark-Hunter series is fantastic! Some books are better than others but always very enjoyable! I reread all of these books over and over. Sherrilyn Kenyon has spoiled me and no other books come close to hers.

great

I really love this Series......I can't get enough of them ............. I'll read them over and over

GOOD BUT NOT A PAGE TURNER

I liked this book but the sarcasm, which everyone seems to enjoy participating in, gets to be a bit much. Not a lot of romance and the attraction between Dev and Sam happens so fast you wonder how they turned that corner until the Fates mark them as mates at the request of a vengeful relative. The explanation given to Stryker seemed dumb and after everything he went through to get Sam, i thought he accepted her answers too fast. Beyond that, Archeron is still my favorite and I'm still wondering what Nick will evolve into.

DARK HUNTERS

I love these books I just picked this one and Retribution up within the last two days and I couldn't put it down. This series has little bit of everything in it romance, action, adventure, supernatural etc......
