Book review - No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Live fast, fight hard and if you have to die then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.
Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.
The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

I was a bit disappointed in No Mercy. Every other book in the Dark-Hunter series has been an avid adventure mixed with pleasant amounts of mystery. This book fell short. I feel as though Kenyon was in a hurry to get this one finished. There was no "leading up to" events, everything just kinda fell out. Don't get me wrong, I, of all people, know how hard it is to get a book written from start to finish, but I feel that maybe Kenyon wasn't ready to write this one yet. It could have been much, much more.

I gave it 3 out of 5.
