Dream-Hunter Lydia has been charged with the most sacred and dangerous of missions: To descend into the Nether Realm and find the missing god of dreams before he betrays the secrets that could kill her and her kind. What she never expects is to be taken prisoner by the Realm’s most vicious guardian…
Seth’s time is running out. If he can’t hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit. No matter the torture, Seth hasn’t been able to break the god in his custody. Then there’s the beautiful Dream-Hunter Lydia: She isn’t just guarding the gates of Olympus—she’s holding back one of the world’s darkest powers. If she fails, an ancient curse will haunt the earth once more and no one will be safe. But evil is always seductive…
Same old, same old. I agree with a few other reviewers who were extremely disappointed with this book. More sadistic torture on every page, no detail about it left out. Does Ms. Kenyon think her readers crave violence and sadism? So once again we have a plot revolving around a poor, abused from childhood, twisted, bitter lead character who finds redemption through our intrepid heroine who can see past all that snarky sarcasm to his wounded inner child. Seriously? Too many other great authors out there to put up…
Disappointing I really wanted to like this book, and in a lot of ways I did, however, the book was reminiscent of all Ms. Kenyon’s previous books…tortured hero, nobody ever loved him, and in walks in the only woman who can melt his heart of ice and make him feel whole again. Don’t get me wrong, I really love this concept, but SK has written so many like this, it’s hard not to compare it to the “greats” like Zarek and Acheron stories.I read this book so fast, it seemed more like a short story…
