Acheron

4.5 since acheron's past hurt to even read but the ending...BEAUTIFULLLLLLL :D well, mostly. All in favor of smacking Artemis with me? Say aye

Loved this. VERY dark and sad and horrifying for the first half, then funny and sweet and wonderful for the second half. well worth the wait. :)

5/5 Brilliant Stars!



Ookay, I must admit I did skip Upon Midnight and Dream Chaser before I read Acheron's book. (I was just too excited :P )

We finally get the nitty-gritty on the tall dark and handsome leader of the Dark Hunters. I actually ended up rating this while I was reading Part 1 of the book, yeah it was that good!. Anyway...

In a desperate move to save her son from the wrath of Archon, Apollymi the destroyer sends her new born to be born to a Greek queen in the mortal realm before she was imprisoned in Kalosis. Without even knowing she has condemned her beloved youngling to a life of misery, violence and abuse at the hands of the mortals.



Acheron's past is very horrid he was cursed by his sisters the Fates to be the end of all Atlantean gods, his aunt cursed him when he was born with one touch from the Goddess of Desire all beings above the age of puberty craved him. As he was shun from his adoptive royal family and forced to live a life of a sex slave in Atlantis at the young age of 7 by the hands of his Uncle Estes. Ryssa, his sister is the only one who truly loves him, she tries to save him but then ends up condemning him to an even worse sentence.
Later in life he stumbles upon the temple of Artemis and she appears to him trying to intimidate but is unsucessful (because seriously, how can you threat a person who wishes himself dead?) He ends up seducing her and in turn falling in love with her. But later on, Acheron realizes that Artemis really doesn't love him he is only a pet, a toy to him, afraid to be seen with him.
In the end she is the one who truly betrays him and when he dies she ends up resurrecting him, binding him to her as another slave.

Present day: Acheron stumbles upon a Dr. Soteria Kafieri, who claims to have discovered the ancient land of Antlantis. What Acheron doesn't know is that she actually found one of his sister, Ryssa's long lost diaries which may end up exposing his past and his end. Later on in the story their paths collide and he must try to save her from teh Daimons and gods who are after Soteria for the ancient artifact she has found.


This book is Archeron's journey of finding not only love, but self worth as well. It is a brilliant read, most definitely won't disappoint! :)
