I will say that i am curious for Ren's story coming up in Time Untime. I just pray that the story line is handled far better than it was here. The only reason I am giving this 2 instead of 1 star is because of the 'bonus scene' with Ash. This chapter reminded me why i love the series so much, and felt very much like something happening in the DH world unlike everything else that had occurred throughout the book.
I loved the glimpse of remorse that we saw from Artie, and any kind of action involving Ash is always wonderful in my eyes. Sherri, yet again, has amazed another fan with another new release! Of all the male characters Sherrilyn Kenyon has ever written, William Jessup Brady has to be the most unique, if for no other reason than the sheer loveability and fun loving attitude of his personality. And, Abigale was just plain amazing. I always find something fascinating in each of the DH heroines and Retribution was no exception. Paired together, these two characters were fun to read from prologue to epilo As always Paired together, these two characters were fun to read from prologue to epilogue.
The dynamic of the characters astounded even I! The plot of this novel was so interesting, and best is described as a story which brings all of its characters full circle, but with untold future events to follow later in subsequent books. I don't doubt many who have read Retribution will say the plot was lacking in a conclusion. However, having seen what lies in store for the summer Dark-Hunter release, I think it might be safe to say Retribution was intended to be a prequel of sorts for the book Time Untime.
What's more, considering the fact that our amazing Author Goddess is re-exploring the Native American subtext and Parthenon, Retribution is eased but action-packed. Overall, yet another entertaining story with rich characterization, action-filled excitement, and passionate romance! Mar 16, Elena R a. I don't have much to say on my liking of this novel. I liked it, didn't love it, and it wasn't amazing. I'm dissapointed as a reader, I had to keep repeating too myself "This novel is part of the Dark Hunter series" It was a total shift change compared to the rest of the series.
The only thing that would remind me what series I was reading, is when they mentioned the "Dark Hunters and Daimons" I looked forward to being aquainted with majority of the characters in this series,but got zippo! The a I don't have much to say on my liking of this novel. The author did justify by adding a bonus material at the end. But it wasn't enough for me.

I couldn't put the book down Wow i never thought i would say this but i was actually disappointed in this story, which has never happened with a Kenyon novel before. The story line was interesting but i must remind this is a romance novel-there should be a bit more romance and relationship growth.

I was more moved by the 20 page bonus scene at the end of the book than by the entire story-line. The romance seemed a bit of an afterthought unfortunately. It wont stop me from continuing to read the series nothing could but i hope the next book involves a bit more romance and love passion even maybe? Her latest editions of her romances have been straying too far from the great stories of her past for me Maybe she's been writing too much YA and has forgotten what made her the best paranormal romance author around.

Retribution
Always amaze, surprise and make me fall in love after so many books. I have no idea, but I'm deeply grateful for it. I have only one word to describe this book: It was better than I thought it would be, but in a total different way. Can't wait for the next one! Sep 12, Laurie Garrison rated it liked it Shelves: I am going to have to rate this book a little different. The story is great.
I loved the characters the powers they had to use and I really enjoyed the Indian heritage brought to the plate. So, for the story I give a 4. Now, for the romance I have to give a 2. Yep, this one feel very short in the ro I am going to have to rate this book a little different. Yep, this one feel very short in the romance. I never felt one spark between Jess and Abigail and at times I never felt anything believable about them being together.
I really hate to go more to the story with such a big description for the book. I do want to tell you a little that goes on. After taking the wrong advice she has open a can of worm so to speak and now she has to turn to the one who she hates to get her out of the mess she has gotten into. I liked Jess, he strong and caring. Abigail well she tends to hold way to much of a grudge and wont drop it. After a while it got boring. It was good except for one instance.

At times, the scenes are written as though we were privy to information about the chara I was really looking forward to the latest addition to the Dark Hunter series. I liked the new elements and players introduced, Sundown was awesome as ever while it took me a while to like Abby, because at the beginning I just wanted to smack her and make her disappear.

Acheron'dan sonra bu seri yalan. I have one question - what the hell was Sherrilyn Kenyon thinking when she wrote this book? I found myself skimming pages, glazing over the text and wishing that Ash or someone interesting would show up to pump some life into this thing.
There were brief appearances from Sin, Zarek, Talon and Nick, but even they couldn't save this sinking ship. Jess is a gun slinger who was made into a dark-hunter who resides in Vegas. He's on the hunt for a "human," who's running with a pack of Daimons, wile ta I have one question - what the hell was Sherrilyn Kenyon thinking when she wrote this book?
He's on the hunt for a "human," who's running with a pack of Daimons, wile taking out dark hunters. The human turns to be Abby who he knew as a child. Apparently Abby's mom was a descendant of the love of his life, Matilda, who watched him get gunned down by his former friend.
The fact that he falls for Abby is just a shade creepy in my opinion. So Abby is all "kill all dark hunters" crazy because she not only believes that Jess killed her parents, but she's been raised by a family of Appolites who have programmed her to believe that dark hunters are the enemy. As luck would have it, Jess captures Abby but not before she kills Great Bear. This action unleashes an Apocalypse, and this is where I got lost in the shuffle of Ms.
Kenyon's interpretation of this dark hunter installment. The majority of this story includes Ren, Sasha, Choo co lah tah, Abby and Jess on the side of good and Coyote and Snake on the side of evil. There's a lot of take of Native American curses, butterflies and buffalo, and a whole of stuff that made my head hurt. I just didn't get it. This story had no dark hunter feel.

It was more like a modern version of a western with fangs with some spirit world scenes thrown in for good measure. The scene where the good guys, except Ren, were all in the car going to the Apocalypse was the worst of all. Not to mention the one and only sex scene in this book took place in a sports car during an attack of wasp and a mountain lion??? This book was awful, seriously. I have never been so disappointed for a book I so looked forward to. The one saving grace about this book wasn't even the story in Retribution, but the bonus scene at the end.
My disappointment completely went south when I started reading about Ash, Tory, Simi, etc.
I don't want to tell too much about that scene, but it was good. Although, I am questioning Artemis's good-natured gesture. I mean she's the heifer-goddess. Why is she being nice all of a sudden? I think 21 books is way past enough for a series. Kenyon is constantly introducing new characters instead of cultivating the great ones that she's already created. It's very apparent that she wants to take this series in a completely different direction. I think it's a mistake. Unless this series starts to come together with the next book which I believe is a Dream Hunter's book - oh boy here we go again , I think I may have to bid this series adieu.

Let's hope the future is much kinder to all of us than the past has been. I have "The happiness on your face when first you touched him was enough.
I have nothing to say. The great thing about the D-H series is that each book is so different and so unique. Each builds on something that we cannot see or fore tell and that is why the author goddess is who she is!!! The Time Untime may be the time our Nicky comes into his own or not The sum of the story arc is not this book, but that is okay too.
The story in itself tells us a lot about Z, Ren, and Sasha The circle of life and I gag myself on that statememt has come full circle for Buffalo and Butterfly My heart ached for Crow and his struggle. I can't wait for his story! Plus, when we get Sasha's story I am seriously counting on some more Z. The only downside was the lack of Nick and Ash. I personally love when they call Ash and he gives them some droll sarcasm He could have squeezed it in since the labour was like 10 hours! To my fellow D-H lovers View all 11 comments.

Not really set in the DH world as in the previous books. In the beginning of the book you get a glimpse into his past and what made him become a DH. Then you have Abigail, a confused person who I really didn't care for. She couldn't make up her mind with what was is truth and was is false. Got on my nerves quick. She believes that Sundown was the person who gunned down her parents but in the end it wasn't him.
I didn't This was not what I expected. I didn't feel the connection with them but it turns out that Jess is Buffalo War reincarnated and Abigail is Butterfly Peace reincarnated who are two halves who were supposed to be one. They only had one love scene and IMO, it could have been better but in the circumstances they were in, it made do. You have new characters Ren, who will be the hero in the next DH book.
The Coyote is brother who I assume will make an appearance in the next book. Andy, Jess's squire had his funny moments along with Sundown Pushing himself back, Andy hissed at them. Sasha, in case ya'll forgot is a shifter who was introduced in Zarek's book. Chapter 15 was a funny one with Sasha. This book has a bonus scene and we are introduced to Sebastos Eurodus Parthenopaeus. Dec 20, Heather C rated it liked it Shelves: Kenyon went way off the reservation with this book. Now she's throwing in Native American folklore Its just getting too complicated for me and I was confused most of the time.
I felt like the story was constantly getting halted to remind me of some fact or detail that I'm already supposed to know from 10 books ago. And when I was still confused, I found m Kenyon went way off the reservation with this book. And when I was still confused, I found myself referencing Kenyon's website for past information. That was just too much work to be enjoyable. With all that, I still liked it okay.
I didn't find anything memorable about either of the MCs, although Jess was pretty funny. Don't ask me his heroine's name because I have already forgotten. Plus, there's hardly any sex to even get excited about. I think my favorite character was Andy I'm really looking forward to his story now. Sadly, my favorite part of the whole thing was the "Bonus Scene" at the end of the book involving Tory and Ash and the birth of their baby.
Loved getting to see some of the characters that have been around forever. Aug 02, Rjsmommy rated it it was ok Shelves: Hate to say this It didn't even seem like a Dark-Hunter novel; too much Native American mythology and not enough if any Dark-Hunter myth. At times the NA myth was just too confusing Yes, Sasha was there and as much as I lov Hate to say this Yes, Sasha was there and as much as I love him Though his is a story I would like to see in the future. I think even Ms. Kenyon had to know that she would be disappointing DH fans with this novel, hence the bonus story at the end While I liked Jess, his speech was just too "cowboy-fied" that it became annoying and Abigail I don't know, she didn't strike home to me.
It's probably a case of expecting so much more a true DH novel and not getting anything near what I expected. I hate to think that the next novel will be somewhat of a continuation of this story what with the continued references to Coyote just lying low and biding his time; also you know there has got to be somekind of HEA in the works for Ren.
