Upon The Midnight Clear (A Dream-Hunter Novel, Book 2) by St. Martin's Paperbacks You know it's bad when you start rooting for the bad guy
I admit that I have been sucked into reading the Dream-Hunter novels because I loved most of the Dark-Hunter books. I guess you could say that I am worried that I might miss something that relates to Acheron and his dark-hunters. DREAM HUNTER was mediocre at best but at least it provided some background on Acheron and his origin. With this second book, however, not only was it repetitive but it lacked any spark to make it even slightly memorable. UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR is the story of a world-renowned celebrity who turned his back on the world after suffering from the heartbreak brought upon by the betrayal of his friends and family. Aidan O'Conner is the central character whose brother would stop at nothing to destroy him. And it looks as if his brother's wish may finally come true in the form of the god of pain, Dolor. But Aidan is not without help as Dolor's archenemy Leta, an oneroi, is hellbent on ensuring that Dolor is kept locked away for eternity. Leta pretends to be a human stranded in the mountain whose only chance for survival in the freezing cold is Aidan's charity. Now you would think that Kenyon would have worked on the characterization to at least make the "blossoming" attraction believable, but no, just about every second page of the book was focused on Aidan venting out his frustration and despair about people's greed. Alright, we get it, you've been used. By the way, the oneroi in front of you has fallen head over heels in love despite your grouchiness. No, I didn't dream this. I have read many romance novels and have never had any problem with the pace that the characters fall for each other, but I couldn't understand how Leta could have fallen for Aidan. The man was an absolute bore! By the time Dolor was able to manifest into the real world, I was almost wishing that he would rip Aidan's head off and prevent Leta from making the biggest mistake of her eternal life. But of course good prevails over evil and everyone is supposed to live happily ever after. Trust me when I say that you should try borrowing this if you truly want to read it. It is not worth paying regular price for a book that should have been included in a novella (read: really big font). I am sorry Sherrilyn but your fans deserve better.
Upon The Midnight Clear (A Dream-Hunter Novel, Book 2) by St. Martin's Paperbacks How bad can this series get?
A short review, as befits a VERY short book. Don't be fooled by the large print; this is a novella, not a novel. Angry, betrayed, angsty and whiny hero is holed up in the mountains and refusing to celebrate Christmas. Stranded heroine forces her way in and reminds him about Christmas spirit - but she's really a Dream-Hunter and has come to 'save' him. Does that sound like thousands of other formulaic books? Well, welcome to the travesty that Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series has become. The book's even shorter than it looks, as at least 1/3 of it is devoted to 'updates' about earlier characters in the series. Very annoyingly, it revealed a major spoiler about Katra, which anyone who resisted paying $20 for a hardback copy of Devil May Cry would not have known. Shame, Kenyon.

I'm a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon, but the Dream-Hunter books have left me wanting. I will continue to read them hoping that eventually the characters will start having some of the chemistry between them that the Dark-Hunters have. I have to keep hoping because the alternative is very long stretches of time between Dark-Hunter books, and I just can't wait that long.
Upon The Midnight Clear (A Dream-Hunter Novel, Book 2) by St. Martin's Paperbacks Struggled from get-go
I have loved all of Kenyon's dark-Hunter Series because they are imaginative and I enjoy the story line. I think my reading style must be caveated prior to further review. I read just for the enjoyment of reading and do not like to have to "think" when I read. I want something easy, engaging and if the ending sucks the book sucks. The Dream Hunter series from book one has really sucked. After I skipped ahead and frequently skipped ten pages at a time, read three, etc. I realized that I really do not like her Dream Hunter series. I think that it might have been really good if she had given it the same passion she gave her Dark Hunter series. Her characters have only two a dimensional flavor and the story drags, drags, drags. I just do not think that any of these Dream Hunter books are worthwhile.
