| Deadman's Cross Book 2 |
Death Doesn’t Bargain is the second historical fantasy title in New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Deadman’s Cross series. Where Deadmen tell their tales, and every soul is damned or redeemed by the final choices they make.
The Deadmen are back...
But so are the demons who have broken free of their eternal prison and are bent on mankind's destruction. The worst of the lot is Vine, determined to claim their lives for taking hers. She will see the world burn...and has the perfect lure to destroy them all. One of their own.
Kalder Dupree has never known a day of mercy. Born to the cruelest of mer-races, he sacrificed himself for his crew and is in Vine's hands. He expects no mercy or rescue.
Yet Cameron Jack is determined to set Kalder free. As a Hellchaser, it's her calling, and she cannot allow even a not-so-innocent to be tortured for an act of kindness that spared her damnation.
To defeat evil, it sometimes takes an even worse evil, and Cameron is willing to do whatever she must to make this right. If Vine thought she had her hands full before, she hasn't seen anything nearly as powerful as Cameron's resolve.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Back to the seas filled with demons and monsters and of course our favorite pirate crew, the Deadmen. After losing Kalder in the last book, the crew is desperate to get him back. Especially Cameron Jack, who Kalder traded places with in hell to set her free. In this novel we learn more about Kalder and his Myrcian heritage. Which is just another awesome mythology that Kenyon has woven into her world of Dark Hunters. And speaking of Dark Hunters, we get a surprise visit from the leader himself. Acheron appears in the story along with Savitar. What I really loved about this story is that we gain more knowledge of this universe Kenyon created, especially when it comes to the Sephirii and the Malachai and the Source. More secrets are revealed when it comes to these creatures and ideas that constantly appear in her Dark Hunter series and with characters like Thorn, we can start piecing everything together a lot better. This part of the story was just as important as Kalder's and Cameron's. Their relationship is one that started in Deadmen Walking and we see really grow in this story. Another great installment to the series, with yet another cliffhanger that has us wishing the next one wasn't a year away! But when it comes to this pirate crew, I think we can all agree it is worth the wait.
