No Mercy (Dark-Hunter) [Hardcover]

Sherrilyn Kenyon (Author)

Book Description

Series: Dark-Hunter | Publication Date: September 7, 2010

Live fast, fight hard and if you have to die then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.

The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Graham keeps up with the fast pace of this book and uses his acting experience to bring the characters to life, even the dead ones!” – SFCrowsNest.com

“It’s rare to listen to an audiobook in which one speaker handles the range from macho male to vulnerable female roles so well...Fans will revel in No Mercy, especially this audiobook version that accentuates the amusing dialogue between Dev and Sam.” – BookLoons.com

“Listening to this audio of the book No Mercy was a very captivating way to enjoy this series. The narrator [gave] life to one of the favorite shifters in this series and [gave] him the extra spark of humor and sensuality that you do not get at times while reading the print…Holter Graham did a great job at bringing not only Dev to life but Sam and the other Dark hunter characters as well. If you haven’t tried listening to an audio book before and are a fan of the series, I would seriously recommend trying this one out.” – Bitten by Books

2.0 out of 5 stars Book was done in a Rush; Boring Story Line, September 14, 2010

I am a big Sherrilyn Kenyon fan from the start till Bad Moon Rising and this book No Mercy. It looks like it was done in a rush to meet a deadline because not only it is short, it's also sold as a Hardcover book. The same sexual tension/ Innuendo. Not much background about this two lovers Dev and Sammia. Very disappointing. Paging Ms. Kenyon please revert to your old ways of giving us a funny, heart wrenching story with loveable characters and entertaining. We want the same flawless story plot that we can relate.Sad to say the last 2 books of Dark Hunter Series did not impressed me at all. I was very underwhelmed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moderately Entertaining, September 8, 2010

This review is from: No Mercy (Dark-Hunter) (Hardcover)

Sometimes it seems like there are four different people writing these books b/c they range from terrible to fantastic. I started out loving this book because the wit is there in full force--laugh out loud stuff. Dev has been one of my favorite characters since he first appeared so I was really excited about his book and I recommend reading it though it does not prove to be anything like the fast paced and filled out story telling we sometimes get from the DH series. There are lots of things left unexplained and the story gets wrapped up in a neat little epilogue that sort of left me flat. One thing I noticed and appreciated was that this book seemed to jump genres a bit from Paranormal Romance that started the series into Urban Fantasy--it's extremely PG-13. A good read, but left me on the fence about continuing the series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The 20 Bucks, September 18, 2010

By

This review is from: No Mercy (Dark-Hunter) (Hardcover)

While I really like Sherrilyn Kenyon's books, her more recent ones have not been up to par. I liked No Mercy but felt that it could have been better. The main characters Dev and Samia could have been fleshed out a bit more and I just felt like their love story was rushed.Also, I really wish Kenyon would put a hold on introducing so many different demons in one book. It's really hard to remember that info plus info in past books about stuff we should already know. The only reason I bought this book was because I was craving scenes of Savitar and Thorn. They are the only characters I'm interested in at this point(with exception of Jaden and a few others)and LOVE reading any little tidbit about them. Overall, it felt like she didn't spend a lot of time on this book and sadly, it shows(bad editing,wide-azz margins,fast paced with little romance,and jokes she has to go to great depths to explain to us).

Basically, I'd recommend borrowing this book from the library because you will be mighty upset that you spent hard earned cash on another Sherrilyn Kenyon book that is not very good quality.
