Dark Hunter Series

My friend bought me a book about a year ago and for the longest it sat on my book shelf collecting dust.  He bought me Retribution by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  He bought the book thinking that I would be interested in it because I was obsessing over her League Series' book, Born of Shadows.  The book sat on my shelf for an entire year before I finally told myself to read it.  I had an entire debate with myself if I should read it or not because I never read any of her Dark Hunter series before.  The only book I was familiar with from the Dark Hunter series was The Dream Hunter, and I'm not sure if you want to count that as a Dark Hunter book.  At first, I just assumed that her Dark Hunter series was planly about vampires and sex, so I never was interested in reading any of the series.  But after Retribution, I was definitely wrong on that note and I can't wait to read the rest.  Retribution was a bit too short for me.  I, honestly, wanted it longer.  But then again since it was about the end of the world, I guess she couldn't make it that long.  After reading this book, I went to the library to try and find the first book.
(Because I am a broke college student, I rather get my books from the free public library rather than from the book store.  But once I get a nice paying job, I will buy all the books in the world.)  In my library they had a couple of books that she wrote.  Two books that stood out to me were Devil May Cry and Dark Side of the Moon.  I decided to read Dark Side of the Moon.  After reading Dark Side of the Moon, I read a lot of reviews online explaining how a lot of individuals were disappointed in the book.  I didn't find the book disappointing at all.  Who wouldn't like catman???  I just absolutely loved Ravyn and Susan.  But because this book was my second, it raised a lot of questions in my head.  I heard of Acheron before but after Nick's reaction in this book I'm starting to realize that there is way more to the story than what is explained
