No Mercy (Dark-Hunter) Review
No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Paranormal Romance -Sept 7th, 2010
4 stars
No Mercy is the newest novel by paranormal author, Sherrilyn Kenyon. Once again, Kenyon allows us into the world of the Dark Hunters, powerful warriors from the past who died horrific deaths, only to be brought back to life for revenge and the chance to rid the world of evil forever. This book focuses on Dev, a human who can shift into a bear and do some serious damage to his enemies. Sam, one of the few female Dark Hunters we hear about, is a fierce warrior who revels in battle. After meeting at the bar Dev's family owns, the two of them fall into an intense relationship that may or may not allow them to survive.
This book brings a ton of action, history, and bad-assness, all tied in with passion and love. The Demons and Daimons are back again, and Dev and Sam are some of their newest targets. The interesting part is finding out what powers Sam has and what torture she went through to receive them. And I'm glad that one of the brothers of the bear clan finally gets a book.
No Mercy is far along in the series, but you shouldn't have any problems understanding what's going on. Personally, I don't think you would enjoy it as much as if you had the full knowledge and appreciation of the characters from previous novels, but Sam's character is new, and everything is explained.
If you love Kenyon's Dark Hunter series, then you will not be disappointed. It has all the makings of a Dark Hunter novel, complete with lame jokes and brooding, hot men with long hair. I have read all her Dark Hunter novels, and I always love hearing about what the rest of the characters are up to. And although Kenyon's male characters are all very similar, it doesn't make them any less sexy or likeable. No Mercy is another great read from the author and once again, leaves me anxious to find out that gets the next story,

No Mercy (Dark-Hunter) Overview
Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.
The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

Moderately Entertaining - Cassandra Johnston -
Sometimes it seems like there are four different people writing these books b/c they range from terrible to fantastic. I started out loving this book because the wit is there in full force--laugh out loud stuff. Dev has been one of my favorite characters since he first appeared so I was really excited about his book and I recommend reading it though it does not prove to be anything like the fast paced and filled out story telling we sometimes get from the DH series. There are lots of things left unexplained and the story gets wrapped up in a neat little epilogue that sort of left me flat. One thing I noticed and appreciated was that this book seemed to jump genres a bit from Paranormal Romance that started the series into Urban Fantasy--it's extremely PG-13. A good read, but left me on the fence about continuing the series.
Another great book!!! - NarkdNymph - England
From the beginning I've been in love with Kenyon's Dark, Were and Dream Hunters. Every story grips you from the beginning and the newest does not let you down. I've always prefered the clan from New Orleans and getting to know more about one of them is a blast...But as each new book comes out we get to learn more about the past of the whole group as well. As I hate to know to much about what happens in a book before I read it, I won't give anything away. I will say this however, get ready to lock yourself away and not talk to anyone until you are finished with this one, you won't want to put it down!!! Two thumbs way, way up Ms. Kenyon, thanks again for another great story!!!
Excellent Bridge Book - Sarah Free - Philly
What do you get when a Dog of War and an Arcadian Bear mate?
This book picks up right after Bad Moon Rising with Sanctuary getting back on its feet. This is one of those tie it together/stage for a big revelation books. The core of the story is about Samia and Dev and how do two people who are afraid of relationships and letting others become important manage to trust enough to fall in love. The course of the book ties up a few loose ends like what happened to Amaranda and Cael, as well as letting us get to know the Dogs of War. Thorne makes an appearance as the manipulative bastard we all love and hate. Stryker of course shows up and is an honorable villain. One annoying factor is knowing who and what Nick is while the characters in the story do not but all will be revealed in the end I imagine.
All in all its a fast paced story with lots of action, questions are answered while others are posed. There's the normal sarcastic wit we love in the hunters (Dark and Were alike) as well as the vulnerability they all carry and struggle with. It's a great story that seems to be helping to set up another amazing one like Acherons.
