Then, we meet his ex-wife – who is quite a bloodthirsty character. But, I guess only onw with that nature would make a good companion for Stryker. I definitely found that this insight into his character made him a more sympathetic character. And we learned more about his early life and his relationship to Apollo. We did get to see a new side of Stryker here – his sentimental side, the side of him that loves Zephyra totally. Obvisously, he has been working to kill Acheron for quite some time. I did enjoy it tremendously despite the fact that Stryker has never been one of my favorite characters. I still can’t wrap my head around all that happened in this book. Happily, he played a critical role – and will continue to play an important role especially in relation to Nick. ![]() I figured that he couldn’t just disappear now that he and Soteria have found their HEA, but I admit I was a bit worried. I was happy to see that Acheron continued to be an important character. Regardless, I can’t wait to find out where Kenyon is taking us next. Then, there are a good number of Daimons and Daimon-related characters that we now know: Medea, Urian, Illyria, Davyn and, of course, Jared. And most of the DHs we knew are now happily paired off. After all, the Dark-Hunters were absent from One Silent Night– unless one counts Acheron and Nick (I don’t, but given the mention of them in the book blurb, others might). I can’t help but think that this next arc will have something to do with the final sentence spoken by either Stryker or Zephyra (I couldn’t quite figure out which one uttered the actual words): “The dawn of the Daimon is here and the end of mankind is beginning” (p.310). This makes me believe that the Daimons may be the main group of characters in this next series of books. So, I guess that the second arc starts with One Silent Night. Of course, we don’t really know what The Source is). I had an interesting thought that maybe The Source will be the last character. The last arc will deal with a character we haven’t met yet (Although, I can’t help but wonder if we met the character in One Silent Night? Maybe not. Savitar will be the character who holds another arc together. We are moving on to the next arc which, I believe, will culminate with Jaden’s story. This part of the series concluded with Acheron’s story which was published in August. The first part seemed to concentrate mostly on the Dark-Hunters and Acheron. I believe that I read somewhere (Kenyon’s website – or forum) that this series will be divided into four parts with different arcs for the four parts. Obviously, there is a definite shift going on in the overall story. And, I can say that there was SO much going on in One Silent Night, and I’m wondering about the implications of many things. I absolutely adore this world of Dark-Hunters, gods, Daimons, Dream-Hunters, demons, etc. Wow, wow, wow!!! I had so many thoughts racing through my head last night when I finally finished this book that I had trouble calming my mind enough to actually get some sleep. New battle lines are being drawn as the Dark-Hunters rally for a final showdown on One Silent Night. Just when he thought nothing could stop him, he’s now embroiled in a centuries-old war with a shrew who gives new meaning to pain. But things go awry when his oldest enemy returns. To avenge his sister, Stryker prepares to annihilate the Dark-Hunters. While the world carries on unawares, Stryker, who leads an army of demons and vampires, is plotting an all-out onslaught against his enemies – which, unfortunately for us, includes the entire human race. Stryker has sent word and is gathering his forces.
