"This series puts a contemporary spin on classical mythology that an increasing number of fans have found irresistible." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY" --Publishers Weekly
Product Description
In the war against vampires, mankind has only one hope: The Dark-Hunters. Ancient warriors who died of brutal betrayal, they have sworn themselves into the service of the goddess Artemis to protect us and to get a chance to take down their enemies. 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. Now things are tightening up on Kyrian and Amanda. As they face a new kind of Daimon that appears to be on massive steroids, Kyrian's powers become unsteady. Amanda's powers are moving to the forefront, but she still wants to deny them. If they don't find a way to stabilize and unite their powers soon, more than their lives will be over...ours will be too. Some days it really sucks to be human...and immortal. From the imagination of Sherrilyn Kenyon comes the next humorous and action-packed manga volume in her number 1 internationally bestselling "Dark-Hunter Series".

If you are a fan of the Dark Hunters, this is another interesting way to look at their world. And the drawings are good.
I would prefer though that the stories were in one volume only. I had to wait a long time since I finised the first volume to get my hands on this one.

Excellent Manga Adaptation
8 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I truly enjoyed this second installement of the Dark Hunter Manga Series. This is the second half of the book Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon (the first half is in volume 1). As mentioned in the description, it is mainly Kyrian and Amanda's story, although fans of the series know that they keep showing up in novels later on, so their story doesn't end yet. The novel was adapted well to the manga format. I think dividing the story into two volumes was necessary to keep the integrity of the story. Of course, there are some differences between the novel and the manga, however they are minimal and mostly done to keep the graphic novel tasteful as well as ensuring the book flowed properly. The drawings are beautifully done, and draw the reader in as much as the descriptions in the novel do. Most importantly, new readers to this series can fully understand the story without having to read the novels (although I believe they would be missing out if they do, since there is really no substitute to the original). Fans of the Dark Hunter series should be very happy with this manga adaptation. New readers who may be looking for a great new manga series should be very happy with this as well. I am looking forward to Talon's story next since he is one of my favorites.

Kept putting it down
17 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Manga art is hit or miss for me. If the characters start to look too juvenile then I find the characters irritating rather than entertaining. This books is borderline. I did like the way Kyrian was drawn, but Talon looked a bit skinny and Acheron looked like a harpy with that mane of unkept hair. I have difficulty imagining him as being handsome, when he looks like a woman with a bad wig.
It seemed like every other scene Kyrian is tortured and brutilized in some way. It got old.. Once or twice maybe. But he's incapacitated about 3 times in the book, not counting the flashbacks. Perhaps this works better in a novel format, but I found the "Kyrian in jeapordy" got tiresome. It seems like bad fanfic.
If you like Kenyon and manga, this might be one to pick up. Be forewarned, although this is a comic, in manga fashion, this isn't for kids. There are some adult scenes, including a somewhat freudian scene where the heroine is sipping soup off her finger and it looks nothing like a finger but something else entirely. *Eyeroll*
I didn't like this one as much as other comics I've read. If comic works by this author interest you, you might try the Lords of Avalon. I find the art superior and the plot less... Silly.

While I love the story in Manga...
12 April 2012
Format:Paperback
This really is a continuing story and it is pretty much covering everything we read in the book form but it if just really enjoyable to read and see. I love the artwork and I adore the writing as I did in the books. I have seriously enjoyed this one and the first and am wondering if Kenyon plans to go through the entire series (which is quite long) or if she's just going to snatches of it. I wouldn't mind this story continuing through several Dark-Hunters (as I remember it doing) and then maybe moving on to Ash's life or maybe even the Were-Hunter's we loved so much throughout.
If Kenyon is just going to retell everything from her books, it might not be worth continuing to own them, but for now I plan on getting the rest.
