Book Description
Kenyon became a remarkable success story with Dark Side of the Moon, which became an instant bestseller. Now, her newest, most imaginative, and most breathtaking Dark-Hunter novel yet tells the tale of an ex-god in search of revenge, a servant of Artemis out to stop him, deadly enemies at every turn and a plot that may very well end the world. Ever since the moment his godhood was taken by Artemis, Sin has done nothing but plot his revenge. But when he kidnaps a woman he believes to be the goddess, he quickly finds out that she is not Artemis, but her servant, Katra. And instead of capturing her, Katra captures him. She refuses to release him until he promises not to seek vengeance on her mistress. In spite of himself, Sin is intrigued by Katra, who is nothing like the deceitful Artemis. She's fierce and true, but also compassionate and loyal. However, Sin is not the only enemy Artemis has and it quickly becomes apparent that he must help Katra save her mistress... or life as we know it will cease to exist. What's an ex-god to do?

Answers some questions, but overall a bit average.......2007-10-05
I started reading Kenyon's Dark Hunter series just this past year, but I have now read them all and I have to say that "Devil May Cry" was a bit disappointing.
The story was entertaining enough, but the development of the character relationships and the climax and resolution of the story were a bit weak.
The relationships of Sin and Katra and Ash and Katra were somewhat stunted, too simple. Without giving too much away the only way I can explain is to say that it took a great deal of `Suspension of Disbelief' to accept the ease with which Ash and Katra were able to overcome the circumstances of their relationship. Also, the conflicts between Sin and Katra are not resolved well. They don't really hash out any of their problems as much as they merely see a problem, separate, come together with no understanding, see a problem, separate, and come together with still no understanding etc. The only way I could take it in was by telling myself that the `saving the world' urgency story line left them little time to take a moment for some personal communication. But still, at no point at the end of the book did I feel like there was a proper relationship resolution, and they had a lot to resolve.
The story's conclusion being anti-climactic was so sad. It had so much potential but lacked the excitement `oomph' that Kenyon usually is capable of creating. Those last few chapters had me excited for some action but after that last page I was left under whelmed.
On a more positive note, a lot of questions about Acheron were answered and we were given a more personal insight to Artemis's character. No doubt this will come up in the future books (an exciting possibility). These aspects of "Devil May Cry' were perhaps what saved the book from being completely flat. And while I have so many problems with this Kenyon book, that it was just not up to par with her others, I still say that it is a must read (as it is part of the fabulous Dark Hunter series and you just can't miss a part of it).
So, potential `Devil May Cry' reader, I recommend that you check this book out from the library, or borrow it from a friend, to read and then decide for yourself if it is worth buying it to read again.
Devil May Cry.......2007-09-28
Love her books. Never disappoints in the reading. Can't wait for her next book.
Fantastic Read.......2007-09-28
very hard to put down, read it in one night, easily kept my interest throughout and would reccomend to anyone who likes the mystery and suspence of the paranormal romance
Never a Disappointment!!!.......2007-09-27
Devil May Cry is another wonderful read by Sherrilyn Kenyon! I have yet to be disappointed by any of the Dark Hunter Novels. This was another one I couldn't put down.
So many questions about a lot of the characters were answered in this book that I am more anxious than ever for the next novel to come out. I am also awaiting the series of Dream Hunter Novels.
Sherrilyn Kenyon is THE BEST in my book when it comes to Paranormal Romance!
I highly recommend the entire series.
The only DH novel I decided not to buy.... spoiler alert...........2007-09-26
I absolutely fell in love (with a half dozen different characters) the very first time I read a Dark Hunter novel. (The full length novels are much better than the anthologies) Sherrilyn Kenyon became my favorite author, and I would back up and re-read every book in the series in preparation for each new book coming out, just so I'd be 'refreshed' on everything. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!!! If you haven't read the others, DO SO NOW!!! They are hot, exciting, well-written, sexy, and just plain good-to-their-bones books. But, for the first time, I've decided not to buy a DH book.
I've waited through a lot of books to finally get to Kats story. I know everyone was excited about Sin, but we hadn't seen him before now, and Kat I felt like I knew, and I wanted her have her own story. I'm sorry, but this was just such a let down after such a long wait. She wasn't as likable as she was in the other books. And Kat has always been a kick-a$$ kind of gal, like Tabatha in 'Seize the Night', but unlike Tabatha, who is a pistol from beginning to end, Kat went from tough girl to girly-girl. I mean, she's the child of two Gods, yet she comes across as powerless throughout the book. Her and Sins romance felt rushed and unreal, and to be honest, a bit boring. I wanted to really know Sins tortured past and be able to cry for him and root for him, like I did for Zarek in 'Dance With The Devil' (a GREAT DH book), but I never felt that close to him in this story.
And as soon as you saw Kat was the heroine and you knew she was going to be paired with Sin, then you knew the big secret was coming out, and she would be reunited with her long lost father. So I thought, okay, here it comes, the fireworks, the drama, the long awaited showdown between Ash and Artie... and it fizzled. I mean, here's this huge secret that's been what? 11 books in the making, and just a couple of pages after she announces she Ash's daughter she's calling him Daddy, like a six year old who wants to stay up past her bedtime, and Ash goes from 7 foot tall God of Destruction to 'Daddy Daycare' mode. And Ash doesn't so much as say boo to Artie. She kept a child from him for 11,000 years!!! She's physically beat him, tortured him, raped him, kept a child from him, allowed his loved ones to die... and she's still not been put in her place. I kept waiting for it, the bomb that's been sitting their ticking through all these books, but it was a dud. In the earlier books I got aggravated as Artie always getting away with being so evil, and I got frustrated because you can only sit back and watch the bully win so many times before you feel hopeless, but I figured, these stories are drawn out, it'll happen eventually. Now, I'm just sick of it.
The last really good DH book was 'Dark Side of the Moon'. I read it, and re-read it again the same week, something I hadn't done before with a book. And after it's ending, I've been waiting to hear something about what's going on with Nick and Stryker. No such luck.
So, overall, if you love a great story, with sexy characters, steamy love scenes, great writing-plot-settings, then read:
Fantasy Lover, Night Pleasures, Night Embrace, Dance with the Devil, Kiss of the Night, Night Play, Seize the Night, Sins of the Night, Unleash the Night, and Dark Side of the Moon.
All of these Kenyon books are phenomenal, but for me Devil May Cry fell far short of the rest. (So many authors seem to get overwhelmed with writing projects, or maybe tired of a series, or they just want try something new. They take a great formula and they mess it up. Julie Garwood did it with her Buchanan series. 'Heartbreaker' was Heaven, 'Mercy' was magnificent, and 'Killjoy' was... no K words, but it was one of the single best books I've ever read!!! Then she just went downhill in the series after that. And Noah Claybourn, a character you waited through over a half dozen books to get to his story, got the worst story of all. It just turns you off the whole series.)
I just hope and pray Mrs. Kenyon slows down a bit and goes back to her roots for Ash's story. After all these years and all these books, to be let down by his story will put me off her for good.

The Dark Tower #2.......2007-09-15
I'm giving the same review to all the comics in this series. It's too bad that King's epoch is so monumental that this comic serialization represents only a miniscule slice but for an abridgement it is excellent and,in my opinion, they've chosen the best segment. The writing is good, the art work alone is worth the purchase of the series. The insightful essays following each segment were enlightening. The down side was the back-slapping, self-gratification-fest that ended each book. If I felt any need to know how talented each of the contributers felt the others in the group were I'd go on the internet and look it up. I'm paying for a book, not an awards dinner. bg
The Dark Tower Comic 2.......2007-04-24
This was such a cool idea, and the artwork is awesome, but I have one problem with it. I kind of feel slighted that these comics are telling the story of the 4th book. I know that the title is Gunslinger Born but I still really want to get more of the story. Maybe it could have discussed what happened between the events of the 4th and the 1st novel. I was hoping there would be more story to the Dark Tower world, and, as a Tower junkie, I was a little let down.
That said, however, the comic book looks awesome and I can't wait to keep reading.
Book Description
Mayhem and violence rule in this collection of issues one through seven of Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, as well as material seen before only in Carpe Noctem magazine. Dark and disturbingly funny, JTHM follows the adventures of Johnny (you can call him Nny), who lives with a pair of styrofoam doughboys that encourage his madness, a wall that constantly needs a fresh coat of blood, and--oh, yeah--his victims in various states of torture. Join Nny as he frightens the little boy next door (Todd, known to fans of Vasquez's work as Squee), thirsts for Cherry Brain Freezies, attempts suicide, draws Happy Noodle Boy, and tries to uncover the meaning of his homicidal existence.

JTHM.......2007-08-24
VERY FUNNY LIGHT READING IN THE VERY DARK ZONE,IF YOU LIKE OVER THE TOP GORE THIS BOOKS FOR YOU!!
Insanity and Murder are Funny.......2006-11-26
Well actually, they really aren't, but after reading JTHM you might think they are. Jhonen Vasquez has an amazing talent; he is capable of making the most disturbing things laugh-out-loud hilarious. For this I wish to give JTHM Director's Cut a 5/5, but I cannot. But before I explain why, let me attempt to explain the meaning behind Jhonen's madness. Naturally, this is merely _my_ interpretation of his work.
JTHM is an attack (and a very violent one at that) on normalcy through the use of satire and parody with disturbing, dark themes. Due to the dark themes and disturbing content, this work could be labeled as "gothic" (and often is), but that would be rather insulting. Ironically, "goths" tend to adore the disturbing and the dark simply because it is not "normal," but they end up carving a very specific mold of normalcy out for their own clique. "If you don't fit a certain image, you're not goth and you're not one of US," a goth might say. JTHM is not only an attack on what MOST of us would consider normal, but also an attack on what GOTHS consider normal. It is an attack on all those arrogant people out there who deliberately exclude others because they don't fit in with their own definition of what normal is.
This theme pervades the entire series, from when Johnny is brutally torturing bullies for making fun of him for what he wears, to the little comments JV sometimes scratches in at the corners of his panels. But, it is not JV's attack on normalcy that is the most interesting aspect of JTHM, it is the contradictions. On the one hand, much of this comic book is rather demented and disgusting, but at the same time the book is hilarious--pulling the reader in two different directions at once. Also, sometimes there are comic strips that are completely pointless and filled with excessive (and unnecessary) violence, while there are others that have Johnny going on thought-provoking philosophical ramblings. This tension from pulling the reader back and forth (between violence and humor, and between pointlessness and meaning) is so instense that if you try to read too much at once you'll either sweat excessively, vomit profusely, or pass out from lack of oxygen because you're laughing so hard (or a combination of all three). I suggest reading in small dosages, you've been warned :)
This actually brings me to one of my only complaints. The JTHM series once featured "Meanwhiles" which are mini comic strips whose sole purpose is simply a brief, funny intermission between the JTHM series. The lack of meanwhiles lowers the value of the book (since they are really funny). But, the Meanwhiles also served as a means to break up the tension in the Johnny series. Since JTHM is so intense, the random and so often silly nature of the Meanwhile comic strips served as a pleasant deviation, and the lack of these pleasant little breaks means it's much more difficult to read JTHM in longer bursts.
My only other complaint is in the sturdiness of the actual book itself. I've only read through JTHM a few times, but already pages are falling out all over the place. I feel kind of bad negating a star primarily because of this reason (since it is not Jhonen's fault), but pages falling out really does detract from the overall experience.
Despite the lack of Meanwhiles and the overall flimsyness of the book itself, this is a solid purchase. Unless you're too easily offended or puke all over the place at the sight of blood, this graphic novel should not disappoint. Highly recommended!!!
The darkest, goriest, most awesome story ever!.......2006-11-05
I was introduced to this by my crazy friend, and I love it. Jhonen Vasquez has a very dark sense of humor, and has very comedic ways of showing someone kill people. I would HIGHLY suggest that one peeks into the book (click "Search inside this book") and read a couple of pages. In all honesty, though, if you don't like the few pages that are shown through Amazon, then you probably will not like the book. I think that the artwork is extremly well done, but it might not hold the interest of certain "normal" people.
Amazing Book.......2006-09-07
For anyone thinking of buying this book, the title explains the content: Johnny is a homicidal maniac. And this isn't an 80's horror film kind of homicidal maniac (one who likes to kill whislt in silhouette), oh no; the tortures and murders are shown in detail. The art work is very different compared to pretty much any other art work you'll find. Jhonen's use of skinny-as-hell characters and geometric drawings make this truly unique. Some may not like it, but that's a personal preferance.
That aside.
The story is non-linear in its own way (let's get one thing straight: it's not Tarentino non-linear), with different events taking place that can pretty much be interchanged with themselves (until part five), which gives the reader a simular sense of Johnny's psychosis. The dialouge is well crafted, logical (irony!) and often philisophical. If you're an intellectual, you'll thouroughly enjoy what the book has to offer...if you can manage some gore.
Also, the Happy Noodle Boy one-page segments are kept in this "Director's Cut" edition. These I found to be hilarious in their own, beyond random way. Seriously, these things are extremely random. Basically, it follows Happy Noodle Boy throughout a day in his life, which is often filled with swearing, yelling at people and usually ends with Noodle Boy getting shot.
In all, this is a great book and I highly suggest you pick up a copy. I find it very hard to believe anybody could whole-heartedly dislike this book.
Jhonny kicks your [...].......2006-08-09
dude, this book is the most awesome book ever. it just is.
Oh, and I LOVE that he listens to clasical music!!!!!!! thats one smart...put psycho....guy!!

If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. The great Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, the arguably peerless Watchmen) argued that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world (as are his retinue) and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task.
Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon, and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, street gangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. --Mark Thwaite

Batman.......2007-10-09
Can't say I understand the whole Batman story entirely yet, but it is very compelling and well written. Very helpful for my Comic Writing Class schoolwork.
Other Books.......2007-09-03
Well, it really doesn't get any better than this. I was hooked on hits from the first time I saw the cover image in a comic shop.
The news media scenes now, are pretty much right out of today, with screaming pundits on the television, American style.
The fascism and violence prompts Bruce Wayne out of retirement. Heartened by the assistance of a young girl, he plans his strategy.
He has one major obstacle.
Superman, who is now a covert special forces operative lapdog.
The greatest tale of batman.......2007-08-14
This book tells the return of Batman in an future where Gotham City is in peace but sudenly appears a new threat, mutants, and they are powerfull and they work like a gang of destruction, you will see the Joker, Superman, Catwoman, Two Face, etc all of them older, cracier and pitiless. Fank Miller give power to the history he is a genius, and the drawing is strange but with a lot of impact and action. If you like batman, you must have this book, and if you never read a batman comic, then when you read this one you will change your mind.
Not For Me (...and possibly not for you).......2007-08-06
I will start by saying that I have enjoyed DC Comics and their heroes for almost twenty-five years. In particular, I have always loved reading about Batman, Robin, NightWing, and anything that was related to the Gotham crime fighting circuit. I couldn't believe that after all these years, I had yet to read what was regarded as one of the best graphic novels of all time. While on vacation this summer, I decided it was time to finally read this classic.
First, the artwork doesn't appeal to me. I know others love it and will defend how wonderful it is. That's fine, it just doesn't suit my tastes and I can get over it provided the story is good. So, is the story good? It's okay. I can definitely see why other people like it, and I appreciate the different approach Miller took to the time and setting, I felt that it was too over the top though. I found myself wondering if this was suppose to be ten years after Bruce's retirement, or forty. I also didn't care for some of the assumptions that are made throughout the story in regards to several characters' pasts. The development and appearance of "Robin" in this novel was weak and pointless, other than to provide a cheap reason for an event (that I won't spoil) that takes place near the conclusion of the book.
Finally, I felt like the book drug on way too long. The brutality of Gotham City and the Bruce Wayne vs. Batman ego struggle was beat to death in my opinion. I could have cared less about the politics of Gotham, which also was repeated time and time again. I didn't feel as though there was a decent balance between those storylines and the ones involving Two Face and Joker.
To wrap this up, I will be honest and say that I did not enjoy this masterpiece the way almost everyone else has. The futuristic story and excessively "dark" setting feel like paths I've been down too many times in too many other books. I am glad though that most seem to have enjoyed the story, it just isn't for everyone.
One of the great graphic novels of our generation.......2007-08-01
A friend of mine let me borrow his copy of this and I read the whole thing straight through. Now a year or so later I am buying The Watchmen and this book comes up as recommended. I can't help but buy it. Frank Miller paints an incredible revision of the idea of Batman. His art and story flow so well together. This book has helped to re-define the current definition of a graphic novel. I can't recommend this enough.

Book Description
Seventeen years ago, Morgan Winter was traumatized by the discovery of her parents' brutally murdered bodies in a Brooklyn basement on Christmas Eve. Now shocking new evidence overturns the killer's conviction and Morgan is confronted with the horrifying realization that the real killer is still out there.
Trapped in an emotional hell, she hires Pete "Monty" Montgomery, the former NYPD detective who first investigated her parents' homicides. Now a PI, Monty has a personal score to settle—a promise he made to Morgan, the helpless child long ago, that he'd find her parents' killer. With nothing more than an old case file and the original crime scene photos, Monty enlists the specialized skills of his son, Lane, a photojournalist whose job is a perfect cover for the clandestine image analysis he conducts for the CIA. Constantly thrill-seeking, Lane is used to gambling and putting his own life on the line—for country, for journalistic integrity, for the adrenaline rush. But this time, the stakes are different . . . and this time, he can't afford to lose.
The murderer is still at large and has never stopped watching Morgan from the shadows, making sure a dark secret remains buried. Now, Morgan's fierce determination to uncover the truth consumes her, plunging her into the dark and terrifying past and an increasingly dangerous present.
Lane is closing in on the truth. But in a cruel twist of fate, what he exposes may be far more shocking and devastating to Morgan than anyone could imagine.

A Good Story, Well Written.......2007-08-23
As with all of Kane's stories, this one is well written and a pleasure to read. Am looking forward to her next novel.
Great characters but somewhat predictable.......2007-08-13
Nightmares have plagued Morgan Winter since discovering her parent's corpses when she was ten. During that intense time, she bonded with the detective assigned the case. With the culprit in jail, she felt a small sense of relief until it is uncovered that he confessed to the crimes in order to avoid a cop killing conviction, and the crime is once again unsolved. The now retired detective, Pete Montgomery, always felt that the wrong person was convicted, and now Morgan has hired him to find the real killer. With the aid of his son Lane, a photographer who freelances for several clandestine organizations (thus having great resources and equipment), new details in the crime scene photos pop up to provide more questions. Lane and Morgan form an instant attraction. But as the investigation gets closer to the truth, Morgan becomes a target.
In a follow up to "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" featuring Pete's daughter Devon, Kane's latest is packed with action, but it's a bit predictable (I guessed the culprit within the first couple chapters). In Morgan, she's created a heroine that's both strong and fragile at the same time, and it's nice to see a hero in a job other than police detective. Despite the flaws, readers will be enthralled with how the story plays out as, Kane is a master at creating compelling characters.
Dark Room .......2007-07-24
When Morgan Winter learns that the man convicted of her parent's murder seventeen years ago did not commit the crime, she is determined to find the real killer. Morgan hires former police detective turned PI, Pete 'Monty' Montgomery. Working with Monty is his handsome, daredevil son and top photographer, Lane.
With the killer desperate to keep his identity secret, the danger to Morgan escalates. Monty and Lane are determined to keep Morgan safe until they find the killer, and they will find the killer because failure is not an option.
Wow! Dark Room is a very intense book! Andrea Kane is an amazing author. From the first paragraph Ms. Kane drew me into the suspenseful world of Morgan Winter. I felt all of Morgan's emotions, from her sadness over losing her parents to her desire for the gorgeous Lane. Who can blame Morgan, Lane is utterly delectable. Smart, dangerous and Alpha, Lane is the full package.
I loved Dark Room! The suspense kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat. The romance was just as thrilling. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better romantic suspense novel!

Dark Room - Best book I've read this year!.......2007-05-31
This is Andrea Kane at her best. It had me hooked right from the start with great characters and a plot loaded with twists and turns. It is also a very touching story. I couldn't put it down it was such an edge of your seat page-turner. I've read all of Kane's contemporary romance books and this one is definitely her best yet. If you like reading romantic suspense from Nora Roberts, Karen Robards, Jayne Ann Krentz, Linda Howard, etc.; you will love Andrea Kane's latest novel-Dark Room.
An action-packed book where one tantalizing clue is revealed after another.......2007-05-30
When Morgan Winter was just a child, she discovered the bloody bodies of her murdered parents on Christmas Eve. Luckily, Arthur and Elyse Shore, close friends of her mother and father, were there to pick up the pieces of her life, take her in and raise her as their own along with their biological daughter, Jill, Morgan's close friend.
Now Morgan and Jill run Winshore, a top-quality matchmaking service that strives to match men and women with their true loves --- not just on a superficial level but on a deeper and more meaningful plane. Morgan has rebuilt her life and moved on, even though the murder of her parents has always loomed over her. With Christmas just ahead, however, the past surfaces to haunt her again.
Morgan is dreaming of her parents, reading her mother's old journals and studying photos of herself and them in happier days. With the killer convicted and locked away, the past should be behind her, but Morgan can't shake the experience that is always with her just below the surface.
When old friend and retired police detective Pete Montgomery shows up on the doorstep of Winshore, Morgan knows it doesn't bode well for her peace of mind. Detective Montgomery, or Monty as he's known to friends and family, tells her that the wrong man was convicted all those years ago, and the person who killed her parents and destroyed her life has been free all along.
While Morgan is shaken to her core, rather than falling apart she immediately hires Monty, now a private investigator, and determines to see for herself that the right man is caught and punished for this horrible crime. Luckily for Morgan, she is surrounded by loving family and friends. The Shores, Jill and Monty do their best to see that Morgan is supported and upheld in this turbulent time that is shaking them all to their very foundation.
Morgan also meets and is immediately attracted to Monty's son, Lane, a photojournalist who conducts undercover image analysis for the CIA. Lane is used to living life on the edge. One thrill after another suits him just fine. His previous exploits, however, are nothing compared to the adrenaline that flows through his body when he meets Morgan.
Lane is drawn into the mystery surrounding Morgan's parents when Monty asks him to enhance and scrutinize the crime scene photos of Morgan's parents. He quickly becomes confidante and protector to Morgan as well.
It's obvious that Morgan, Monty and Lane's investigation is coming too close for comfort when Morgan and Jill's home is broken into and trashed, a frightening warning is left for Morgan as a cease-and-desist order, and one of Morgan's clients is the victim of a hit and run. Is anyone close to Morgan safe now, or has she placed everyone she loves in greater danger?
Regardless of what happens, Morgan knows the only key to lasting peace and happiness is unmasking the person who killed her parents and stole her youth. The question is, will that truth set her free or will it annihilate her when she finally learns it?
DARK ROOM is an action-packed book where one tantalizing clue is revealed after another. The chemistry between the characters is warm and humorous, and they come across as real people who love and care deeply for one another. I found myself wanting to remain in their company and know what happened next even after the book ended.

Great Compilation.......2007-04-03
A well put together bundle of both the classic and the new graphic novels with a few extras. Very Impressive packaging (coffee table worthy).
Cost to damn much........2007-01-28
The first one was great. The second one...I think that Frank Miller read "Kingdom Come" and said "I can do better!".
Only problem is. He didn't.
Once Amazon dropped their discount this is no longer worth it. Buy it if you love Frank Miller but buy it somewhere else.
BOTH Worthy Reads.......2007-01-27
Everybody knows TDKR was a phenominal book. What everybody doesn't know is that The Dark Knight Strikes Again is ALSO a phenominal book. Many readers have their opinions warped by superficial comic book reviewers who critique Miller's sequel because it was not as "dark" or "gritty" as the first book was. Is that it? Is that you're only complaint? Are you so ignorant that you're not going to delve underneath the appearances to look at the thematic significance of the work?
Yes, TDKSA is a departure from its predecessor in terms of style. But it still shines in RELEVENCY. Miller gives us a mind blowing look at what our society is and may become. What is democracy in the media age? Do the people really run a country where a select few that run the major news outlets control everything that the people know and believe? And does it make us feel any better that it is one man, Batman, who is arrogant enough to enforce his social ideology on us?
Don't be fooled. While The Dark Knight Returns is still a significant work in today's literary work, it was a book about yesterday. The Dark Knight Strikes Again is a book about TODAY.
Great Batman book.......2007-01-16
I love Batman and this book is realy great its one of the best books I own you should buy it.
Half good, half ordinary.......2007-01-16
I can distinctly remember the pleasure I had reading the original Return of the Dark Knight issues way, way back. A massive, high quality volume like Absolute Dark Knight is fitting for a such body of work. Sadly, the second part is _much_ less interesting in most respects.

Book Description
Dear Reader, Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments. But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. --Talon of the Morrigantes

A lot to take in, but it is worth it........2007-06-09
I gave it 4, but it's more of a 3.8ish.
The book started out a bit slow, but it began to pick up and by the end I just had to know what the heck was going to happen. I remember at one point I had an amusing notion of a possible unknown 'secret' aspect of a character. And then I tossed it aside and got lost in the story. But lo-and-behold, that little niggling notion popped up in the story. This can be dissapointing in a book, but the way that it was presented and reasoned was great!
The reason for not 'loving-it' and just 'liked and enjoyed' it is because
the first half of the book had so many characters coming in and so much information of the paranormal's presense in the real world that, initially, I was a mite overwhelmed. To the point that I considered that I would not read another of this series (this was the first of her paranormal books I've read). But the book was still good enough that I was determined to finish to see what was in store for our heroes.
Then book managed to pick up about halfway through and I was completely enthralled. I didn't want to put it down for the need to know what was to come.
Now, though the large cast was initially overwhelming, I have to say that they were all good characters. Each interesting enought to grab interest, but were not a major-continuous distraction. And I must commend Mrs. Kenyon for her ability to draw the reader's interest to the cast of secondary characters. Despite the mentioned issue of them all, I become very curious about all these others in the cast. I must now read the other books in this series just so that I can find out what lies ahead for all those introduced in this book. Damn sneaky of the author. :)
Good read. Nice twists. Do need to be able to sort through a lot of info and characters so that you can understand and enjoy rather than be overwhelmed and tripped up with all of the niftyness.
night embrace.......2007-05-18
Sexy and entertaining. One of my favorites from this series. Though sometime predictable, the story line is well written. It will keep you reading well into the night! I am not a romance reader - I love vapire stories! These my freinds - is a good read.
Chicory coffee and warm beignets.......2007-04-25
Chicory coffee and warm beignets are practically the only thing sustaining Talon of the Morrigantes, a Celtic Dark-Hunter who is a little more than under the weather (which he can control). Not to mention that he got run over by the Greek god Dionysus in the form of a Mardi Gras float and now is trapped, until the sun goes down, in the apartment of Sunshine Runningwolf, a slightly over the top artist who needs more than new memory. This Mardi Gras is turning out to be something special indeed!
I like the side characters best.......2007-01-09
This is the 3rd book (if you include Fantasy Lover)in the Dark-Hunter series. I personally think Fantasy Lover was the best as the story line was entertaining and heart wrenching at the same time. The second book, Night Pleasures, was unique and suspenseful. By the third book, Night Embrace, the whole bad boy with the heart of gold and a horrible past that he needs to get over to accept love is a bit tiring. What annoys me most about this book is that most of it is wasted on the two leads repeating "it won't work, I can't have him/her". Well, have you tried!? Sheesh, no wonder it won't work, no relationship will work if the two people in it refuse to figure out what needs to be done to keep it going. Instead of figuring out what they can do to be together, they automatically condemn their future and try every way to justify the relationship will fail.
I personally like the side character's interactions best (and that's a really sad thing to say about a book). I thought the humor between Julian, Kyrian, Vane, Fang, Acheron, etc was witty and entertaining. The heart break and drama between Talon and Sunshine is so rediculous that I kept skipping to the ending. I personally have a hard time believing someone who lasted thousands of years and had his heart so guarded all that time will get so emotionally involved with a perfect stranger. The author spent so much time writing about how horrid his tragic past is and how it scarred him for life that I question why he bother keep going back? I know they're soulmates but how can they tell, obviously conversation was not a big part of their relationship. The basis of their relationship is grunting and dirty talks while doing the deed. Heck he didn't even tell her he was a Dark Hunter, she found out from her friend! So I can only base from my reading that these two had a purely physical relationship and nothing else. So how can their heart "break" and "pain ripped through" them if they don't even really know the other person. Obviously from their past they've had one night stands and they had no problems moving on.
Honestly, this was a luke warm version of Kyrian and Amanda and I expected better from Sherrylin Kenyon. I understand her fanscination with bad boy Greek men, but must they all have long blond (on the occasion black) hair, are seriously wealthy, and over 6 ft (how many middle ages men are that tall?) physical perfections of manhood while the women are plain jane with a touch of girl next door? For once, please have at least half the men be normal and realistic. Oh and must every one of them have that god awful sneer and express their temper through animalistic growls or hissing? You'd think after a few thousand years they would learn to better articulate themselves than grunting?
Is it me or does the author really hate Romans? I know she wrote a Dark Hunter book on Valerius who was a Roman general but seems like everyone else is pretty much Greek. The things said in the books about Romans a very biased and made the good guy an exception instead. Come on, the whole entire Roman race can't be THAT bad. Um are we just a tad biased?
I know we didn't read these books because we wanted reality, but does it have to be this rediculous? At least make it believable. Still, it's served its entertainment value. Just not something I rush back to pick up again though. Personally I am a bit embarassed to buy the books because the cover usually have some scantilly clad beefcake and it gets quite a few looks during check out.
What we all wished for Sherrilyn Kenyon gave us!.......2007-01-03
Night Enbrace is a fun and sexy read. Everything a girl dreams of are all in this book. Your wildest fantasty comes to life in black and white from the talented brain of Sherrilyn Kenyon. I really insist that you buy/read this book. You'll never want to put in down. Thank you, Sherrilyn Kenyon for a picture of the man of my dreams. (smiles)
Book Description
Dear Reader: Have you ever wanted to know what it's like to be immortal? To journey through the night stalking the evil that preys on humans? To have unlimited wealth, unlimited power? That is my existence, and it is dark and dangerous. I play hero to thousands, but am known to none. And I love every minutes of it. Or so I thought until one night when I woke up handcuffed to my worst nightmare: a conservative woman in a button-down shirt. Or in Amanda's case, one buttoned all the way up to her chin. She's smart, sexy, witty, and wants nothing to do with the paranormal--in other words, me. My attraction to Amanda Devereaux goes against everything I stand for. Not to mention the last time I fell in love it cost me not only my human life, but also my very soul. Yet every time I look at her, I find myself wanting to try again. Wanting to believe that love and loyalty do exist. Even more disturbing, I find myself wondering if there's any way a woman like Amanda can love a man whose battle scars run deep, and whose heart was damaged by a betrayal so savage that he's not sure it will ever beat again.
Customer Reviews:
Favorite Kenyon book so far.......2007-09-30
This is my favorite Kenyon book by far. ( closely followed by "Fantasy Lover").Yet another story about a handsome god-like man falling for a normal gal because no one else had loved him before. I tell you what, I think any gal would end up falling for any one of these dark hunter types with the way they ooze sexuality so this premise is getting a little old... but anyway. Hot sizzling sexual tension in this one and I like that the girl isn't a wuss. I get a little tired of the way Kenyon loves to torture her leading men with unbearable pain from pent up sexual desires,but it's still a nice story with nice characters and fun smart-mouthed dialogue. It'll even get you tearing up in some spots. Definitely a keeper. I think that I've found the dark hunter for me and I'm gonna stick with this one.
OMG! AWESOME!.......2007-07-13
I don't even know where to start. This book was so much better than Fantasy Lover. I don't know how the others will top this one. I want my own "Kyrian of Thrace".
Unfortunately, the only decent book in the series.......2007-06-11
I hate to admit it, but I thought this book was pretty darn fun. Yes, the dialogue is immature and campy, the hero is tortured and the heroine has a certifiable family, but the sex is steamy and some of the other characters (like Acheron and Nick, the hero's helper) make the story bearable.
After a while, Kyrian of Thrace (the hero) grows on you. What can you say to a man who's tall, blond, and has enough muscles for three guys? But if it came down to it, I'd take Acheron any day. And Amanda (the heroine) proves she's made of some strong stuff in the end, so I appreciate her effort.
If this review seems a little scattered, it's only because people before me have done a good job summing it up.
Romance Novel with fangs..........2007-05-12
Well, I got this book for free as part of an auction of mostly Anita Blake books. I haven't finished it yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to. I'm writing this review as a guide to others like me who love the beautiful, dark, cold and dangerous vampires of the Anne Rice genre - here are a few clues to help you decifer whether this book is for you.
Characters: Amanda, the heroine, is a sweetly innocent accountant with a very weird family. She's slightly inconsistent - she tries to be normal as possible and doesn't do any of the crazy weird things like witching and vampire hunting, and because of it, she considers herself boring. She's very feminine in her pink sweater, comes across as being a bit soft, then suddenly as they're being attacked manages to kick some vampire butt and mentions she is a black belt. She also seems more freaked out by the hero's driving than by fanged soul stealers jumping at her in the night.
Kyrian of Thrace, the hero (if the name Kyrian of Thrace made you roll your eyes and gag, there's your first clue this book may not be for you) is essentially your typical romance novel hero, with fangs. Yipee! He has the body (pretty much literally) of a Greek god, a perpetual unexplained tan, skintight leather pants, caring, protective instincts, and a tortured past. He dates back to ancient Greece, but tends to finish off sentences in French. ???
Okay, plot. A bunch of the plot and the premise were actually pretty good. Vampires according to Greek Mythology. Quite intriguing. Hero and heroine meet by waking up locked in a basement handcuffed together. Heck, yeah. But the general cornyness of the book kind of ruined the plot for me. Of course upon seeing eachother they fall immediately in *cough* lust. They are released and have to hide somewhere for the day so our perpetually tanned hero can hide from the sun. That day is pretty much continual looped oh-my-God-you're-hot-kiss-kiss-pat-pat-no-we-musn't. Hero can't trust women after the one who betrayed him thousands of years ago, and heroine isn't particularly fond of the idea of sleeping with a corpse. If this last paragraph made you run away screaming, there's your second clue this book may not be for you.
After the initial day spent panting over eachother, they manage to get separated and part ways. Neither can forget the other though, and hero keeps having tender protective urges concerning the heroine. Sniff. So he shows up to pick her up from work in his lamborghini. Woo woo! You guessed it - there's your third clue this book may not be for you.
Okay, not going to spoil any of the rest just in case you like romance novels. If you like romance novels, you may like this book. If most romance novels make you retch, then this book is not for you.
The First to Start off a Wonderful Series!.......2007-04-25
The first of the amazing new Dark-Hunter series from author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Kyrian of Thrace, an experienced fighter and one time heir to the throne now is an immortal fighter for the human race. Stalking the very creatures that thrive on the souls of countless humans everyday, you would think him some kind of glorious hero. However, this heroic hunter finds himself with a dark past and a now even darker future. Waking up chained to an ordinary, very conservative human, Amanda Devereaux, was not exactly his idea of a wonderful time. Especially now that he finds himself attracted to her, a woman betrayed him once in his life; he wasn't going to let it happen again. They will have to fight together if they want to stay alive and they will have to trust each other in the end.

Book Description
In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honor that even immortal bad boys must follow: Harm no human. Drink no blood. Never fall in love. But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway me. I am relentless and unfeeling. Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die. Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead. But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever loved?

Meh..........2007-09-01
Have you ever suffered from "Over-hyped Syndrome"? Although a foreign phrase, many of you have experienced it a time or two. Do you recall the last time you saw a really bad movie that just about everyone kept telling you was amazing? Yup, you were a victim of O.S. In this instance I am referring to Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Sins of the Night." On a scale of 1 to 100- with "Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter, Book 1)" being a 94 and anything by Catherine Coulter being in the single digits- SOTN was an 86. Still better than most authors but only slightly "worse" than "Seize the Night (A Dark-Hunter Novel, Book 7)."
What, you ask, was wrong? Honestly, I think our lovely Mrs. Kenyon is working too hard under the demand from her DH fans. This has resulted in a sloppy plot and slightly choppy writing. Specifically, she uses obscure reference to pop culture and such colloquialisms as "TMI." Who talks like that?! It didn't mesh with Danger. Do I need to even make reference to the heroine's name or the cheesy puns in the book? Then there were the few but distracting un-translated phrases in Spanish and French. This all served to basically alienate the reader from this world. It's ironic that I should be saying this as I speak and read enough Spanish and French to know what she's having her characters say. I also own all but one of Sherri's books and consider myself a diehard fan.
I think everything just went downhill when about halfway through I realized that I didn't much care about Alexion's story (he's not one of the "main" LA. characters like Kyrian or Zarek). I also figured out the plot after about, oh, page 40. Like the old adage about writing term papers, "Think of ten good ideas. Then throw them out. The eleventh is the only worthy one." Sherri picked something like her third idea. Some readers won't figure it out until it blatantly slaps them in the face. Those who are actually used to her writing style may groan when they get to the end.
Still a good read, but not necessarily a "must read" for her fans. You don't learn anything new. Not that I can see. Non-Kenyon buffs may like it MUCH more though.
A Definite "Win".......2007-06-08
I loved this book!
It explains so much that I didn't know before! I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but for anyone who's an Ash fan... READ IT!!
mleh.......2007-02-22
I discovered this series last year and read a lot of the books in succession. The main thing you notice as you go along is that all of the main plots in the books are annoyingly similar. Guys meets girl, she makes him feel things that no one has ever made him feel before, but he can't get involved with her because of yada yada yada.. still they wind up having sex where he often growls at the taste of her, etc, etc.
What keeps me hooked to this series are the side stories. Every book gives you a tiny bit more insight into who and what Acheron is and his relationship with Artemis is really complicated and interesting. Then, of course, there's Nick Gautier's story. The end of "Seize the Night" blew me away and I can't wait to see more of Nick.
In conclusion, these books are a great and fun read, but if you get bored with the formulaic main plot lines, hang in there for the kickass overall story.
Sins of the Night .......2007-01-26
Sherrilyn Kenyon keeps up her usual pace. She has anticipated the question been asked about Archeron and gives us the answers.
