In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honour that even immortal bad boys must follow. No human can be harmed. Dark-Hunters are the protectors, the good guys. Yet every few centuries or so, there is always one who thinks himself above the Code. Even worse, there is always one who decides to convert others to his cause. Alexion is the defender of the code that governs the immortals. He is judge, jury and executioner: if they step over the line it's his wrath they will face. For centuries Alexion has survived alone. Isolated and haunted by his human past, he has learned to distance himself from his emotions and his role ensures that even his fellow Dark-Hunters give him a wide berth. However, this time the rogue Dark-Hunter is an old friend. Alexion cannot destroy him without at least allowing him one last chance at redemption. But to do this he needs the help of a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name Danger. And the last time Alexion ran into her, she tried to kill him
Whenever I read too many of these nearly back to back, the stories get a little formulaic. I still like them and enjoy them while I read them, but whenever I step away I find it hard to come back to them. They read pretty quickly, though, so whenever I have a good block of time, I can knock out most of the book in one go.
This one was pretty standard Dark-Hunter book. Nothing outstanding, but nothing terrible, either.
I do enjoy all the glimpses into Acheron's life, and part of my instance in working through this series is to get to his book.
