I have read about 14 of The Dark Hunter series. Acheron is definately my favorite. I was also upset alot during the first half, but it was worth the read. Ash is in most of her books in one way or another and it is nice to have a background on his. I also agree that he is my favorite of all the characters (though my daughter thinks Edward is).
They are all awesome reads!!!!!!

I was asked a question recently and thought I’d post my answer here, too:

Q.)I’ve not yet read any of the Dark Hunter series but I thought Acheron looked interesting. Will this book stand alone or do I need to start somewhere at the beginning?

A.) I read the entire series leading up to it, so I was quite familiar with Acheron (and deeply intrigued) by the time I got to his book. I loved getting to know him, and his world, and having tidbits about him dropped through the earlier books (he really starts off as a mystery, and slowly, his secrets are revealed). By the time you get to his book, you understand it all, and appreciate him much more.

However, I do believe the book can be read on it’s own, because it is a detailed account of his life from the start. By the time you get to him in today’s world, you’ll already have a good idea of who the Dark-Hunters are, so it shouldn’t be confusing.

However, my friend was introduced to the series by first reading Acheron, and liked it so much, that she read all the rest. I will ask her what thinks…

Ohhhhhhh Lily? Any thoughts?

Thank you so much!! Yes, I will admit, I was dying to read it, but it was a bittersweet experience, since I knew I would have to hand him off to someone else at some point…Is it okay to be jealous of a fictional character?

This was a lovely review of Acheron. My most treasured Dark Hunter book, such anticipation for it, and it didnt disappoint at all. You’re right the first part of the book very difficult to read, i spent most of it bawling my eyes out, im glad the second half was much lighter, so nice to see a different side to Ash, who knew the boy was funny?!?! hee! I still say hes mine, just on loan to Tory =)
