Dark Hunter Series Book 28: Shadow Fallen by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Dark Hunter Series Book 28

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon returns with Shadow Fallen, a brand-new entry in her Dream-Hunter series.

For centuries, Ariel has fought the forces of evil. Her task was to protect the souls of innocent mortals when they die. Captured by a powerful sorceress, she is transformed into a human who has no memory of her real life or calling.

And is plunked into the middle of the Norman invasion of England.

Cursed the moment he was born with a "demonic deformity," Valteri wants nothing of this earth except to depart it and will do his duty to his king until then. When a strange noblewoman is brought before him, Valteri realizes he has met her before…in his dreams. When others come for her, bringing with them preternatural predators, he is faced with a destiny he had no idea was waiting. One he wants no part of.

The truth is that Valteri isn’t just a knight of William the Conqueror. He is the son of one of the deadliest powers in existence, and if he doesn’t restore Ariel to her place, she is not the only one who will be in peril. The world itself hangs in the balance, and he is the necessary key to hold back the powers of evil. But only if he can find a way to work with the woman who stands for everything in the universe he hates.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

So great to step back into the Dark Hunter world after so long! This story we get some new faces in our heroes Ariel and Valteri. When Ariel, an Arel, is cursed by a witch, she loses her memories of who she was and her purpose. The witch curses her to fall in love and watch the one she loves die in her arms. Valteri is a warrior who does his duty for his brother the king. While rumors have circled him his entire life for being the son of the demon, he has always known he would be alone. That no one shall ever love him. That is until he meets Ariel. This story focuses on the battle between good and bad when it comes to Noir and those who fight against him. We get familiar faces such as Thorn and Shadow who always make these stories better with their hilarious personalities. Nothing ever gets boring with those two. Plus a few other familiar faces and names as well. I will admit this one was a little bit slow for me to get into but once you hit a point, it is just another great addition to the series. The world building and the combination of so many mythologies has always pulled me in for this series and with every book you get a new piece of information. Looking forward to the next one!
