Synopsis
In the war against vampires, mankind has only one hope: The Dark-Hunters. Ancient warriors who died of brutal betrayal, the Dark-Hunters have sworn themselves into the service of the goddess Artemis to protect us.
It’s a pact with pretty good perks. Immortality, power, psychic abilities, wealth and a cool wardrobe. But it comes with a few drawbacks: fatal sun poisoning and a new, irreparable dental problem. But aside from the fangs and nocturnal lifestyle, it’s not so bad. Until Kyrian meets the most frightening thing imaginable. An accountant who’s being hunted by one of the most lethal vampires out there. If Amanda Devereaux goes down, so does he and no offense, he doesn’t want to die (hence the whole immortality thing). And he doesn’t want humanity dead either which is a good thing for us since he and Amanda are all that stands between us and oblivion. Let’s hope they win. From the wild imagination of Sherrilyn Kenyon comes the humorous and suspenseful manga debut of the #1 internationally bestselling Dark-Hunter series. The world of manga will never be the same again.

August 09, 2009: The Manga was almost like the book and I really enjoyed seeing how the characters looked in someone elses eyes.
Sadly, a lot of the characters [Julian and Talon] looked A LOT younger than they should have which was my only problem.Disappointedby NJ_Eric

August 06, 2009: This is the first manga I've ever read. The only other full length comic-style books I've read are ones like Alan Moore's or Will Eisner's, and this book has nothing on them. First off, I didn't expect it to be black and white, which isn't a huge issue normally, but it would have helped this book to have some color. Also, this book is extremely short. I just read it in less than 2 hours, and I'm not a fast reader. In that span, I got a very rushed basic history of the dark-hunters, and a lot of back and forth banter between the two main characters, but no real development for anyone. I'm sure this will come over the duration of the series, or at least I hope it will, but at $10 a pop, I do not see myself shelling out to find out. Also, the first time I saw the main guy's face after the girl turns over his unconscious body, I thought it was a girl, seriously. Then she made a comment about him being hot or yummy or something and I was just hoping there wasn't going to be a lot of that teenage girl sounding talk throughout the book. The annoying thing for me is that Kenyon has created such an interesting and original world with a vast web of characters, but they are plagued by "bubble gum" talk like the aforementioned "yummy." This book is for a younger audience than her normal fare, but even those clearly adult novels, with lots of sometimes overly pervasive sexuality, are chock full of cheesy lines. I think if Kenyon could write a novel outside of a teenage girl's mindset when it comes to the male characters, her books could make it to my favorite list. Oh, she would also have to spice up her general formula of the guy and girl hating each other or not being able to be together for some reason, then they can't resist each other by the middle or end of the book... overkill...
