Styxx (Dark-Hunter Novels) 

Hardcover – Published September 3, 2013 

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Purchase Links : Amazon  Barnes & Noble 

Lets skip the intro and cut right to the chase. Styxx was a DNF for me.
Initially I was enthralled by Sherrilyn Kenyon's ability to make me feel Styxx's pain so vividly. She made me want to cry for him. Protect him. But the pace of the story coupled with all of Styxx's pain, misery & torture became too much for me. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have  gave up on reading a book and up until now Sherrilyn Kenyon has never been on that short list. But 100% honesty I could not get past how vividly she made me feel all of the bad that happens in the beginning. It was too much for me. Maybe one day I will be able to finish the book, but I doubt it will be anytime soon. And if I do pick this book up again I know to read it in parts instead of binge reading like I normally do.

While I personally wouldn't recommend this book I do know a few people who think that this book is one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's best work so I chose to include purchase links above so you could see for yourself. This is the first time I was every let down by Ms. Kenyon so it is in no way, shape or form going to stop me from picking up any of her other works.

  1. I had a hard time reading this one too. There is something about the weight of the scenes combined with how slowly it progressed that I couldn't get into either.
