Review: Dragonbane (Hellchaser, #7; Dark-Hunter, #24) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Dragonbane by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I guess after writing 41 books in a series it’s possible that one may become a bit tired of keeping up with a complex world filled with even more varied and complex characters. And even when I tell myself that I am done with the

Dark Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, I just keep going back….just hoping that this may be a SHINY one!!! Maybe it’s another epic like Acheron or Styxx!!!!

Sadly, Dragonbane, the latest entry into the glorious DH’s world is not a shiny one…not even close!!!! Talk about disappointment!!!!

So, this being the 9th book in the WereHunter Series…7th book in the Hell-Chaser Series and 24th in the Dark Hunter Series……yes, remember there’s all those Dream Hunter, Hell-Chasers, and a couple more….confusing ….. that’s putting it mildly….and let me just add that the confusion continues throughout this book.

Anyway, let’s start with one or two things I liked, hence the 2 star rating:

Even a quick sneak of Acheron & Styxx and Savitar was a bonus

Sanctuary and all those Katallakis werewolves….Vane, Fang…Aimee…and all the new little cub/puppies….awesome

Okay – what I just didn’t feel……

There are so many characters and so much going on that I couldn’t keep up….going from present to backstory was just too complicated for me……I was stumbling around in the dark trying to find something that made sense to me.

Maxis Dragos aka Dragonbane…still don’t understand exactly who he actually is…allright, he’s a dragon born from an egg, never been loved, betrayed by the woman he loved, chased by enemies who want him dead….you know the usual alpha hero thinghie!!

Seraphina…now, she….I am even more confused!!! Is she an Amazon, a dragon, a what???? She seduced Max and then betrayed him and now comes back thousands of years later wanting him to help her!!!!! Is she possessed or what??? And what about Max..? He’s beyond possessed to even agree….get rid of the horrible witch!!!!!

Back and forward..we get to see them burn up the sheets….in the past, in the present…but for me…not exactly sexy or fabulous…..

And then….where the hell was Simi??????

I cannot read a book without her!!!! You don't understand...I absolutely love, adore her......
Did she appear or not??? If she did…it must have been a very fast FLASH!!!! Because I can’t remember her at all….trying to keep up with all that was happening all at once…no doubt.

I am really sad to see how this series is going….the last few books have been such a huge disappointment.

But saying that….I am addicted to Dark Hunters and all those Greek gods/goddesses/were-wolves/mandrakes….what next I wonder!!

Read at your own peril!!!!!
