The Dark-Hunter Companion by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The Dark-Hunter Companion (Dark-Hunters) -  'Alethea Kontis', 'Sherrilyn Kenyon'

This is a must have for all Dark-, Were- and/or Dream-Hunters fans out there.

A mixture of manual, fictitious material, historical tidbits, and yummy recipes, it's a fun, light read to escape the often gloomy, dark world of the Hunters.

This is a go-to book to refresh your memory on the Hunters (present and past), learn a little more about them, their squires, and even their leader.

It also explains the origin of the Apollites and Daimons, sheds some light onto the powers-that-be (gods, demigods, deities, and other immortals), offers short Greek, Atlantean, and Cajun dictionaries, along with a brief tour of New Orleans and its hot spots, and Cajun culture.

The authors haven't been stingy with the yummy extras, either. AG, Ash, and Simi all agreed on short interviews, there is a hilarious parody about an DH in making, a short story Second Chances which appeared in the official booklet (that's impossible to get nowadays), along with the original synopsis for Saving Grace, Fantasy Lover's original, and a few deleted scenes from previous books.


Though The Dark-Hunter Companion reads like a manual, you should take it for what it is. A light, entertaining read that serves both the purpose of broadening your Hunter horizon as cracking you up.

Also, love the manga-style chapter intros.
