Zarek verifizierte das "dark" in Dark Hunter. Mutterseelenallein seit jahrhunderten im Exil in Alaska lebend, von der Göttin, die ihn erschuf, verachtet, und von seinen eigenen Leuten gefürchtet, soll er im Auftrag von Artemis umgebracht werden, da bei seiner letzten Mission etwas fürchterlich schief gelaufen ist. Seine letzte Chance, begnadigt zu werden, kommt vom Anführer der Dark Hunter, Acheron, und der Nymphe der Gerechtigkeit, Astrid. Es ist nur eine kleine Chance. Astrid hat noch niemals ein Lebewesen als "nicht schuldig" beurteilt, und der einzige Mann, der diesem Urteil nahe kam, betrog sie und brach ihr Herz. Aber in einer eingeschneiten Hütte, entdecken die Richterin und der Beschuldigte, dass die Liebe immer eine zweite Chance gewährt.

PRAISE FOR SHERRILYN KENYON
"Kenyon is the reigning queen of the vampire novel."--Barbara Vey, Publishers Weekly
“An engaging read.”—Entertainment Weekly on Devil May Cry
“Kenyon’s writing is brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative. These are not your mother’s vampire novels.”—The Boston Globe on Dark Side of the Moon
Synopsis
Zarek is the most dangerous of all the Dark-Hunters. He endured a lifetime as a roman slave and centuries as a Dark-Hunter in exile. Zarek trusts no one. Because of his steadfast denial to follow any orders, he is kept in Isolation in Alaska where his activity is seriously limited and closely monitored. There are many who fear he will one day unleash his powers against humans as well as vampires. Have nine hundred hears of exile made Zarek too vicious to be redeemed? The gods want Zarek dead but reluctantly agree to allow justice goddess Astrid to judge him. Astrid has never yet judged a man innocent, and yet there is something about Zarek that tugs at her heart. He views even the smallest act of kindness with shock and suspicion. But while Astrid struggles to maintain her impartiality in the face of her growing attraction to Zarek, an executioner has already been dispatched...

Ooooohhh!I HAD to have this book! It was the very first of the Dark-Hunter series I read and it was just so... irretrievably great. Zarek of Moesia, an ex-slave who had to endure living hell during the time of his mortal life (and it was HELL - in capital letters),has, due to some events from 900 years ago, and some others that lie not so very deep in the past, provoked the hell(yeah, that word again...) out of the goddess of all immortal Dark-Hunters, Artemis. She wants him dead, but Acheron, the Ringleader of the Hunters, interferes and it is decided that a justice nymph should judge Zarek guilty (equal to immediate death and eternal suffering from there on) or not guilty(equal to: IMPOSSIBLE! - or so everyone thinks).The fact that you get the story told from both views, Zarek's and the nymph Astrid's alike, makes it very intense, you understand everything; every feeling,you suffer every injustice, as if it were done to you. I have to confess,I am a very emotional reader and I cried or was at the brink of crying so many times because of the horrible things done to Zarek.I felt so horribly sorry for him. But even though, it is not a sad book.(I know, it sounds strange now.)Sometimes I cried because even though he thinks himself worthy of nothing and was betrayed so often in the past, he is able to give so much to other people, and they just don't know. But the one time, someone actually knows...I couldn't hold back. I just wanted to reach out, hug him, and tell him that everything would be all right. The thing is, though he has a tortured past and has deep feelings, his virility and attractiveness isn't affected in the least. Sherrilyn Kenyon surely knows where to get the stuff to make REAL heroes .... Lesen Sie weiter... ›

Nachdem ich alle sechs derzeit erhältlichen Romane der Reihe gelesen habe, wähle ich die Zarek-Astrid Gesichte zu meinem absoluten Lieblingsbuch der Serie. Zarek ist für mich der stärkste, kompromisslosest gezeichnete Held, Astrid eine unvergessliche, von Zweifeln und Hoffnungen gequälte Heldin und die verschiedenen netten Grimmicks, die sich die Autorin rund um die Story einfallen lassen hat, sind wirklich originell. Auch die Storyline mit Ash und Artemis wird hier eindrucksvoll weiter gezeichnet. Und im Gegensatz zu manch anderem Buch der Reihe, schwächelt es nicht im letzten Viertel. Empfehlenswerter Lesespass.

The first I read about Zarek, had me convinced that he needed his story told. And what a story it turned out to be.
Others call him the Lunatic out of the cold. They are convinced he is insane, not worthy to be called a Dark Hunter. But that is what Zarek wants everybody to believe, because that is how he sees himself. Not worthy of respect and most certainly not worthy of love.
He only finds solace in a book, a book he shares with the very woman that comes to pass his final judgment. But this woman, Astrid, is the very first who sees the torment in his soul, perhabs because she is blind. A surprising revelation and a true "Happy End" is what await Zarek and the reader.
The verbal banter between Zarek and the other characters from the pervious books, Julian, Kyrian, and Talon lighten up the story considerably. You even hear more about Acherons past. (Another story waiting to be told in detail, I hope) All in all this is a very good sequence to the other Dark Hunter books and I can hardly wait to read more about them.

Once started, I could not put the book down until I finished it. This time we hear Zarek's story - a tormented and haunted ex-slave that became a dark hunter to protect the humans from the daimons. He appeared already in the last dark-hunter novel "Night Pleasures" and I really hoped then that his story will be the next. Zarek is a person that intentionally hurts everyone who comes near him just to avoid of being hurt by them. He trusts nobody - not even himself and the other dark hunters consider him being insane. The goddess Artemis wants him dead but Acheron, the leader of the Dark Hunters bargains with her to send Astrid, a justice nymph to see whether there is some goodness left in Zarek or if he deserves to die. Well, though Artemis agrees on this, she does not follow the rules all the way down and this gives the story all the thrills and excitements from the first to the last page. Those readers who have already read the first books of the series will not be disappointed by this one - quite the opposite! The stories, characters and the plot is really great.
If you have never read about the dark hunters though, I suggest to start with "Night Embrace" and "Night Pleasures" first since the plot and characters are "developing" through the series.

I was waiting to read Zarek's story - and I was not disappointed at all. His character has been flashed out very well and I could understand very well, why he reacted as he did. Zarek, an Ex-Slave who has been treated nothing but bad in his mortal life, is now a dark hunter who does not let anyone near to his heart - neither as a friend and, of course, not as a lover. He leashes out verbally to everybody to avoid from ever being hurt again - no matter if its friend or foe. Artemis, the goddess who created the dark hunters, wants him dead. Acheron, the leader of the dark hunters on the other hand believes that there is something good in Zarek and that he does not deserve to die. They are sending Astrid to Zarek, a justice nymph, to come up with a verdict if he should or should not die. Well, Artemis does not follow the agreements totally and things are getting pretty much out of control. And this is what made the book so exciting and thrilling until the very last page. The verbal exchanges Zarek and Astrid have are great to read and so is the development of their romance. A great read.

Alaska and the devil
I like this book very well, but I can give only four stars for Zarek and this fate, his awakening with his beautiful mate Astrid. The reason is J.R. Lesen Sie weiter...

Not as good as the previous one
It was nice to read this book. Kenyon had new ideas and they were pretty good. But the book can't compete with the Story of Talon and Sunshine(2 DH book). Lesen Sie weiter...

Traurig aber schön
Meiner Meinung nach das bisher bester Buch von Sherrilyn Kenyon. Zarek ist ein gequälter Held, und sehr überzeugend dargestellt. Dasselbe gilt für die Heldin Astrid. Lesen Sie weiter...
