A few weeks back, I picked up a book at a used bookstore. The title was "Acheron," by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It looked neat, had a catchy cover, and I read the back of the book for the summery. It was a well written summery, and it drew my attention. The book focused on the Atlantean patheon of gods, their destruction, and I later found out, the back story of a main character in a long series of novels, called the Dark Hunter novels. The words Dark Hunter brought the "Devil May Cry," series of games to my mind, but I got that mixed up with Daemon Hunter.
I expected a neat little tale of gods and Greek mythology. I got that, and quite a bit more than I expected. "Acheron," much to my suprise about a third of the way into the novel, is part of a genre of books called supernatural romance, and let's just say they go a little graphic at times with the romance part.
So, when you pick up a new book, always prepare to be suprised. That unassuming little novel might be a little more assuming than you first thought.
