Frequently Asked Question: Should I Read The Chronicle’s of Nick YA Series Within Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter Series?

November 14, 2011 By Maryse 18 Comments

Some have asked why I have included Sherrilyn Kenyon’s “Chronicles of Nick” YA series, within my Dark-Hunter/Were-Hunter/Dream-Hunter reading order guide, and if it’s absolutely necessary to read them to keep up with the series? After all, that series is about Nick as a teen, and not the adult “Nick” we’ve come to know in the Dark-Hunter world. How would his “teen” books be relevant within the adult Dark-Hunter series?

I’ve listed her books in the order that they are written by the author (and/or intended to be read), and while Nick’s books take place in a different “time” from the Dark-Hunter books, after I read them, I realized… Nick’s books DO fall into place. They are important. Nick’s series provides a little insight into the Dark-Hunter’s past, and better yet, a deeper look into his own past when he erroneously became involved in their world. read more

Book Review – Retribution by Sherrilyn Kenyon

August 6, 2011 By Maryse 5 Comments

Retribution (Dark-Hunter World Book 22)
Scratching my head on this one, trying to figure out my stance on it. Okay, I’ve decided. I liked it (about 3 or 3.5 stars worth).
I liked the underlying story, the meaning behind the danger to the heroine, the Native American legend that was the foundation for the entire story. It was non-stop action from start to finish.

Annnnd… that’s where I liked it less.

There was no real downtime for the characters to get to know each other, and for me to bond with them while they did. I’m realizing this issue is becoming a thorn in my side these days when it comes to the paranormal genre. When I think back to books like the Black Dagger Brotherhood, or even old style Dark-Hunter books, there was always significant downtime. read more

What I Am Reading Today – Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Retribution

August 4, 2011 By Maryse Leave a Comment

So, here’s what I’ve been up to. I’ve been reading Retribution. I’m having a good time, and I’ll be done this evening, so I can write the review. But, I have a question.

What happened to Sherrilyn Kenyon’s signature steamy scenes? Where’d they go? Why are theseΒ characters not smoking up the pages of my book? I mean, I knowΒ it’s not YA, ’cause, they did have aΒ “moment” with a little detail, but… nothing NOTHING like her past books in this series. read more

June 14, 2011 By Maryse 2 Comments

Here are Sherrilyn Kenyons’s latest upcoming books and book covers revealed. WOW! She’s a writing machine!

The next book in Nick’s Saga —> Infamous – Book #3 in the Chronicles of Nick (expected release March 1st 2012):

Synopsis (as found on Sherrilyn’s webpage):

Go to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That’s the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn’t the average teenager. He’s a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him. read more

Book Review – Invincible by Sherrilyn Kenyon

April 11, 2011 By Maryse 2 Comments

Invincible: The Chronicles of Nick
The publishing agency sent me the second installment in Nick Gautier’s YA life, and I found it enjoyable. While I enjoyed it, it didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat (unless of course, the scene included Ash or Kyrian).Β They were the scene stealers. Ash and his cocky sense ofΒ humor, and Kyrian with his smoldering protector, all around “good-guy”Β sexiness. Sexiness in a YA novel that focusesΒ on aΒ fourteen year old boy? Well, lemme re-phrase. There is no “sexy” in this book whatsoever, but I used my imagination when it came to the adultsΒ ;). And it’s easy with Kyrian. He’s so confident and strong and immortal, andΒ once, he didn’t have his shirt on cause itΒ was early in the morning,Β so, you see? Imagination πŸ˜‰ Or was the shirtless scene also in my imagination? Tee hee!! read more

SO MANY 5-STARS FOR THIS ONE! BACK ON THE LIST YET AGAIN 'CAUSE KATHY 5-STAR LOVED IT TOO!

#amazonaffiliate #CommissionsEarned #bookrelease #psychthriller

Kathy: I just finished If We Disappear Here by M. Hayes. I am making my husband read it! Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely 5 stars for me. Some plot twists and I agree a few I expected but definitely a page turner.

Linda: If We Disappear Here by M. Hayes! Why yes I devoured it!! 5*****

Mona: Finished If We Disappear Here by M. Hayes yesterday. Holy moly, I could not put this book down! Maeve wakes up in a cold cement room, looks around and sees a man, but he is not her husband. They have been kidnapped and locked in an underground bunker by a man bent on torturing them. Maeve and Ledger try to figure out why they were kidnapped, what is their connection since they’ve never met, and where are their spouses? This is suspense with a little romance thrown in. There are twists you see coming and some that are surprises. This is a new to me author, but I’m headed to Amazon to download more! 5 Stars for me and it’s KU!
