   This story has some great shockers that make me excited for the next books to come out. It’s definitely a must read for true Kenyon Fans of the Dark-Hunter World.

   I truly enjoyed this book…actually it is one of my top 5 favorites from Sherrilyn Kenyon! It was great to see all of her powerful male characters, hero’s and villians, come to together after a common enemy, War. It was great to see how some of the god like powers were off-set by one another.

   I thought Sherrilyn did a great job explaining Stryker’s character and his relationships with the people he supposedly loved. His ex-wife was a perfect mate for him…she is a bit of a shrew!

   I noticed other book reviews and people were disappointed because they hadn’t read previous books. I have read every book in the Dark-Hunter and Dream-Hunter series and therefore I loved this book.

   I loved this book. Unlike some of the others here, I had no problems with Jared being a “carbon-copy Ash,” which I don’t agree with anyways. I also had no issues with understanding that this book runs parallel to Acheron, which is why Ash and his HEA are not yet married.

   This showed another facet to Stryker, who is one of my favorite characters. It portrayed him as a real man, not just a typical one-sided villain who only enjoys negativity and doing “bad things.” Stryker became more real to me because of this novella. I also really enjoyed Zephyra and Medea, because they were not the nicest women, but lots of fun. I know people like that in the real world, just as I’m sure many others do.

   Yes, I’ve also heard the complaints about the larger font size, but I remind everyone that Sherri had no control over that, St. Martin’s Press does it to rake in more profits.

   The other thing I loved about One Silent Night is that it allows the Dark-Hunter series to continue to grow as the world becomes more complicated and a new arc (Jaden’s) starts.

   People may down this one, but it’s a necessary read for any fans who want to continue to understand what’s going on in the DH world. A word of warning though, you do need to be up to date in order to understand what’s going on.

   Daimon Stryker, leader of the vile army of demons and vampires, is obsessed with one thing; destroying Acheron and Nick Gautier and the Dark-Hunters for their killing his sister. He loathes his two enemies so much Stryker vows to do whatever it takes to kill them. However, even his supporters fear the deranged Stryker has gone too far when he makes a Faustian deal with the Titan god War. He will free the imprisoned War in exchange for the God killing Acheron and Nick.

   Artemis, realizing the potential danger to Ash, “frees” Stryker’s supposedly dead ex-wife, Zephyra, who has an agenda of vengeance also against her former husband who deserted her and their daughter Medea. Stryker is stunned to learn he has a warrior daughter while War begins the assault on Ash and Nick. The stake is a world as strange bedfellows line up on both sides for what appears to be the final battle.

   Throughout the Dark-Hunters saga, vile villain Stryker has been in some ways the most interesting character; sort of like a Darth Vader who mostly displays evil but once in a while shockingly seems to care. This is his tale, which means 98% fantasy thriller. Fans of the great mythos will not be disappointed as Stryker gets a taste of vengeance from the untamable shrew. He celebrated her death when he thought she was out of his life. This is a great entry in one of the best epic fantasies of the past decade.
