This is another in the series of Dark Hunter Novels that I have been reading. The premise behind the novels is that long ago the greek god Artemis created Dark Hunters from humans who died wanting vengeance in order to battle Daemons who are a result of the race of Apollites created by Apollo but cursed because they did something bad (killing his human wife/son).
As we’ve learned over the course of the novels, Artemis didn’t create the Dark Hunters for all truistic reasons but rather to trap another god that she loves/lusts after named Asheron. Ash has such strong compassion for humans and Dark Hunters that he has taken it upon himself to protect humans and train Dark Hunters to aid in that effort.
This particular story takes place in New Orleans just before Mardi Gras. The Dark Hunter that it is centered around is Talon. He seems a little different than the rest in that he’s more of a recluse. He is sort of saved while saving a human woman named Sunshine. During this story we learn quite a lot about his back story and that Sunshine is his wife re-incarnate. Also, we learn of some other gods trying to achieve more power by hurting Ash and using Talon and Sunshine to do it.
This was one of the best stories to date to me. I’d love to hear another story about Zarek who was involved in this story too.
