From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon comes the next thrilling installment in her blockbuster Dark-Hunter® series
Harm no human...
A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.
Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief—Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters and training for the day when she meeting the man who killed her family: Jess Brady.
A gun in the hand is worth two in the holster...
Jess has been charged with finding and terminating the creature who's assassinating Dark-Hunters. The last thing he expects to find is a human face behind the killings, but when that face bears a striking resemblance to the one who murdered him centuries ago, he knows something evil is going on. He also knows he's not the one who killed her parents. But Abigail refuses to believe the truth and is determined to see him dead once and for all.
Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, they must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they've sworn to protect.

      January 1, 2012
      Love redeems (again) in the latest installment of the Dark-Hunter series (No Mercy, 2010, etc.). In 1873, outlaw William Jessup Brady vowed to go straight after he married Matilda Aponi, but his treacherous partner Bart shot Jess in the back at the very steps of the church—and raped Matilda to boot. The goddess Artemis gave Jess the chance to revenge himself on Bart; in exchange, he surrendered his soul and joined her army of undead Dark-Hunters, who protect humans from the soul-stealing Apollites. In the present day, Abigail Yager, descendant of Matilda and Bart, believes that Jess slaughtered her parents and that Dark-Hunters attack innocent Apollites and humans without provocation. She soon learns she's wrong about both assumptions, but not before she inadvertently initiates an apocalypse. The colorful, intriguing mythology is ill served by the author's flat prose, which turns the world's potential doom into a fairly dull experience. The central romance is of the tell-not-show variety: Abigail's been brainwashed into hating Jess and his kind, but she rejects her upbringing and falls in love and lust with him with almost no transition. Although their incredibly contrived love is supposed to transcend time and space, there's just not enough emotional investment in the relationship to have the strength it needs to carry the story. Even those looking for cheap thrills won't be satisfied—there's only one sex scene and it's not nearly as steamy as the author and her characters seem to think it is. Legions of fans make this paranormal romance's myriad flaws nearly irrelevant.

      When hired gun Jess Brady is killed, he's brought back by a Greek goddess as a Dark-Hunter, sworn to protect humans. Now he's up against Abigail Yager, who has been raised by Dark-Hunter-hating vampires after being orphaned and who is out for vengeance, convinced that Brady killed her family. In fact, she looks rather like the person who killed him initially. Kenyon has claimed the top spot on the New York Times best sellers list 12 times in only the past two years. With a one-day laydown on August 2 and a national tour; buy multiples.
