Too boring to finish
I can probably count on one hand the books that I've been too bored by to finish. Dream-Hunter now joins the list. I've read all of the Dark Hunter books to date and, like other reviewers, have found the quality going downhill. Based on this book, I won't be reading the Dream Hunter series at all.

If you feel like you really want to read it, check it out from the library. And be sure to turn it in on time--it's not even worth an overdue book fine.

EXTRA.. EXTRA..-SK_ attack by Dream hunter!!!!
first, pardon any writing errors, english is not my native language, but I could not pass this review... I love to read, and when I first found SK, I was static, impatiently waiting for her next book, especially on these series. Now, I'm waiting impatiently for SK to return to her senses, what the
hell happen to her, DID ARIK ATTACK HER IN HER SLEPP AND TOOK ALL HER GOOD WRITING AND IDEAS TO ATLANTIS? probably, because I just could not see her writing in this book. The sad thing is, this has been the story of her last three books, she should have kept the series to a minimun of characters and just made another series. Please SK, read the reviews, your readers are not happy. 1 star for lack of none

Not her best work, still worth reading
I don't agree with people who've been trashing this book here. It's not a horrible plotless chunk of unedited dreck. However, it's not her best work, either, and isn't up to the fabulous standard she set in the early DH novels. She's still an auto-buy for me, but if she doesn't get back to the Dark-Hunters soon, I'm going to get really frustrated. I wish she'd finish with the Dark-Hunters before she starts adding new series to this world, that's all.

A plea from a fan, Ms. Kenyon--tell us about Acheron again! Give him more to do than just being the deux ex machina he's become. I miss reading about him actually interracting with his Hunters rather than watching them from on high in Artemis's temple. Speaking of, let's see Artemis get kicked to the curb, oh please oh please. Resolve those storylines, and then move to others. Building suspense is one thing, but once it hits its peak, you can't keep building it... you've got to either satisfy it or watch it fade away.

I'm afraid the message I get from reading these reviews is that the interest is fading for many of your readers.

Dream Yawn
I have really enjoyed Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series, but Mother of Pearl, what's with these boring spin-offs? I had to yawn my way through pages of repetitive text making me feel as though I was on a circular read to nowhere. I laid it down, I picked it up, and finally finished it two weeks after purchase (I usually finish one of her books in an afternoon). I found the characters unappealing (Arik, the "Dream-Hunter," was nothing more than a voyeur) and I fail to understand why SK's mythological deities always use American slang and colloquialisms. It's not as bothersome when her novels are set in the States, but in Greece and Atlantis? The Dream Hunter series was aptly named since it is guaranteed to put you to sleep.

I liked the book...
I love the dark hunter books but I also like the other species Kenyon has created to build different story lines. This book intrigued me because of the "finding Atlantis" storyline, the return of Kat (and I suspect she'll be back again), and the huge obstacle between the two main characters (Arik barters Megeara's life to be with her for a few weeks as a human). Honestly, I didn't know if I would buy any final resolution between the two main characters, regardless of their chemistry, but I was pleased with the way the story was resolved. As always, looking forward to the next book.
