The BOOK
Book Synopsis
Setting: Fairbanks, Alaska
Zarek’s Point of View:
Dark-Hunter : A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude.
Insanity : A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don’t suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it.
Trust : I can’t trust anyone…not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to put a hurt on anyone who gets in my way.
Truth : I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I’m tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters.
Zarek : They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star?

I must admit that when it came time for me to read this book I was not very excited. I am sad to say that I had judged Zarek just like everyone else did, the the series I mean. But pretty much as soon as the story started I was blown away at how much I had misjudged him. Being in exile... Taking care of the town.... When Jessy came and saw the house he was living in and recalled Zarek saying he was "buring alive" I want to scream! Why was Ash letting him live like that? Zarek was in agony and no one came to help him! I was soooo pissed. Zarek has become one of my favorite characters in the series and I LOVE how SK never forgot him and how he makes a lot of cameos. And I LOVE how we get to see him with his son and talking about play dates with Bride and Vanes son! LOVE LOVE LOVE this book and love Z even more! Let's not forget how he comes in to Val's wedding and makes that great speach and gives his brother Ambrosia! Freaking love this guy!
ReplyDeleteZarek's story is one of my favorites and his torment is right up there with Archerons . I wanted to kill those people too. If anyone deserved to be made a Demi-God and have the wonderful mate he got it's Zarek.
ReplyDeleteTo die for!!!! Zarek is an absolute favorite and, like Fran said, any and all cameos of Zarek are memorable! His scenes in the next book, well....classic Zarek, in spite of living his own HEA....just desserts comes to mind... ;)
