Retribution (The Dark-Hunter World) (Dark-Hunter, #19)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Hired gunslinger William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave - until the day 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 with one belief: Dark-Hunters are the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed.

Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, William and Abigail 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.

This story was absolutely delightful! I loved both Sundown and Abby, they were both confused and hurt, but decided in the end to trust their feelings, and what they could be together.

The mythology was excellent, we learned so much more about things, and old curses and legends, and it was great to learn more about Ren as well. The mix between cowboy, native American and dark-hunter was really something that made this book even more of a page-turne than usual.

Andy, Jess' squire was so funny, even more funny than Nick used to be :)

And the bonus scene in the end was almost like a whole other book in itself, although it really was short and sweet. I loved the birthscene, when Tory had trouble actually having her baby leave her womb, and that Simi, Ash's mom, and other friends were around for it. Simi cracked me up with still wanting to BBQ Artemis :D And Artemis really came through in the end! I hope what she said was for real!
