Retribution (Dark-Hunter #10)
Harm no human...
A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.
Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised on one belief - Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed. While protecting her adoptive race, she has spent her life eliminating the Dark-Hunters and training for the day when she meeting the man who killed her family: Jess Brady.
A gun in the hand is worth two in the holster....
Jess has been charged with finding and terminating the creature who's assassinating Dark-Hunters. The last thing he expects to find is a human face behind the killings, but when that face bears a striking resemblance to the one who murdered him centuries ago, he knows something evil is going on. He also knows he's not the one who killed her parents. But Abigail refuses to believe the truth and is determined to see him dead once and for all.
Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, they must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they've sworn to protect.

2 Stars Barely. Usually I read a book in little over a day. However, I struggled through this book, slugging through the awfulness. URGH, I am so angry that this book was so awful. When we met Jess in previous books I LOVED HIM! I had such high hopes and waited with baited breath to get to his book. AAAAAAAAAAAAARG.  Terrible. Awful. Atrocious. Dreadful. Words cannot express how much I disliked Abigail, ugh, DUMB.. *DUM DUM DUM DUM(singsong)  Really? you want me to believe that she is soooooo clueless that she couldn't tell the difference between the Appolites and Daemons? Um, No.  And if that's not bad enough, SK tries to make the reader feel bad for her. BUT I JUST WANTED HER TO DIE..LOL  THEN we have JESS.. God I love this guy but Sh*t, come one man. Did your brains get sucked out by the Gods? I mean, lets break this down. -She kills your fellow Darkhunter's, sentencing them to a life of shadedom -She tries to kill you -She is dumb as a box of rocks -She is a simpering fool that does not get facts about anything and just blindly follows So, add all that up and what do you get? Oh, I know, Big ole Puppy dog eyes and Instalove! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG  So, this nonsense plot claims to have the fate of the world at stake but actually ends with no real conclusion and no real repercussions.  Oh, and of course they have sex at a time that makes NO SENSE. Its like, Sk said "Hmmmm, where can I shove a realistic sex scene in this supbar plot? OH, this will due."  The ONLY plus in this whole book was when it was over. Seriously. The Extra they slapped on the end about Acheron's baby was a great addition to an otherwise $13 paperweight.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1099288109?book_show_action=false |
