Review: The Dream Hunter

The Dream Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This wasn't one of my favorite Sherrilyn Kenyon books. I've loved so many of her books because of the characters (most of the time), originality of her writing and the originality of each of her books. This one didn't really grab my attention like the others. I liked one of the Dream Hunters, although I can't remember which one but it was in one of the other books, therefore I thought I'd enjoy this one. All the decisions that Arik made bothered me in the beginning and they didn't improve as the book progressed. The only time I respected him for his decisions was at the very end.

Megeara bothered me for pretty much the entire book too. I suppose it annoys me at this point when individuals in paranormal books can't accept what's right in front of them. People don't normally just go crazy for no apparent reason. I suppose I might think I was crazy if I'd had an injury like I hit my head, or if I was on drugs, or there was a history of mental illness in my family, or if I'd had some sort of weird food or drink. If those situations did not apply, I would hope that I would try my best to accept the situation. Once you go crazy because you don't believe something, you start sounding crazy and people around you think you're crazy.

First of all, Megeara acted like a complete bitch for half the book and she seemed not so bright either. Why would you see someone in a dream and then magically see them in real life the next day. It's obvious that somethings going on. Honestly, if you're having dreams about this same man for several months and you've been having amazing sex with him for the whole time, you might as well do it again. She really didn't have any reason to be as much of a bitch as she was to Arik (Although he deserved it). Then when they finally do have sex, Arik doesn't even give her the whole truth. He left out vital things that would have made her hate him.

The whole book seemed a little confusing and I don't even feel like it should be a part of the dark hunter universe at all because it doesn't really tie in like the were hunter series does. Overall I wasn't really drawn to the characters much at all. Even with the so so action, the sex and plot didn't really do it for me. The only character that I kind of liked was ZT.
