dark_x_huntressSo while we eagerly (and in my case desperately) await the release of Bad Moon Rising, I thought we'd just have a lovely chat about the series in general.
How did you find out about/get into the Dark Hunter series? What is your favorite thing(s) about the series? Least favorite?
Who's story are you most excited about and can't wait for? Why?
Have you gotten the Manga? If so, what did you think about it?
I found the series completely by accident. I was looking for a different kind of romance novel all together and someone on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
romancenovels directed me to a site that listed paranormal romance novel authors. I started choosing authors at random but was becoming discouraged because none of them got my attention. The last author I randomly chose was Sherrilyn Kenyon and BOOM! I was hooked by just the sample that was up at her site. I loved how different the storyline was compared to other books, that each book was part of a bigger story and that the gods and goddesses of different cultures played a large part of ruining/aiding the characters. I loved that Sherri keeps building the mystery around several characters like Ash, Savitar, Nick, and Jaden.
I have to say I'm really curious and excited to read Nick's story, he's so angry, bitter and confused that he's going to need a lot of help to learn to live with what's happened to him and I hope he and Ash will go back to being friends again.
Yes, I've gotten the manga and I love it. Not as much as the books but I think it's a great idea. I've already pre-ordered volume 2.
Remember that you CAN have spoilers in your comments but to keep from spoiling the series for those who aren't caught up, please put a warning in the subject line of your comment.

Date: 2009-07-19 02:56 am (UTC)Well, I go to DragonCon down in Atlanta every year and, before last year's D*Con, I was looking at the book for D*Con 2007 and there was an ad for Ash's book on the back. Right after that, I saw a commercial for Ash's book so I downloaded it and read it and I. Was. HOOKED. I downloaded all the books and read them in ALL in like 6 days. My friends (and my husband) joked that the books made me their bitch because I read them completely...I barely looked up from the computer until I'd read them all. I love how Sherry just weaves each story to where you feel like you know the characters and you can imagine them in all these places. And I love the mythological element to the whole series. I love the fact that the Gods and Goddesses are written to where they're so humanly immortal. My least favorite thing is, well, I'm a Dark Hunter girl through and through with Were Hunter tendencies and, while I appreciate her inclusion of the dreams gods and dream hunters, I just can't get into them.
Who's story are you most excited about and can't wait for? Why?
Oh Nick's book hands down! I love how tragic Nick is. I'm making a fan mix for the entire series and I'm having one song for each Hunter we've met and Nick's was my favorite to pick..."Dead Boy's Poem" by Nightwish. I love Nick and part of me is so mad at Ash for not telling Nick about Simi to begin with, especially once Kyrian and Amanda were together. But, at the same time, I can see that Nick's hot headed nature would've gotten him into trouble anyway. I love Nick and I miss him. I'm also VERY excited Fang and Amy, too. I love tragic/star-crossed love stories.
Have you gotten the Manga? If so, what did you think about it?
I haven't gotten the manga yet primarily because I can't find any bookstore local to me that has a copy just so I can see it in person (as it were). If all else fails, I'm planning on picking up a copy at DragonCon in September. It'll go nicely with my copy of Ash's book and the Dark Hunter Companion for Sherry (and Althea for the DHC) to sign. :)
