Upon The Midnight Clear (A Dream-Hunter Novel, Book 2) Review
The second book in the Dream-Hunter series and the eleventh in Dark-Hunter series. I enjoyed this one, mainly because it was a quick read. It did seem to get a bit repetitive at times but it was so quick it didn't even bother me. At times it almost felt as if she was dragging it out on purpose so that it would be a longer story.
Your best friend is just your first betrayer. That's pretty much the code Aidan O'Connor lived by. Trust no one because they're going to use it against you the first chance they get. Leta, a Oneroi has awoken from her 2000 year stasis to find that her enemy has escaped her curse. Dolor is out for vengeance but not before he can find a human host. Leta has to save Aidan from Dolor, one of the gods of pain before it's too late and he's released into the world.
As I said, it was repetitive. Aidan hated everyone, we get it. It was annoying at points because he was constantly reminding us of that hate. Yeah yeah. His brother betrayed him. His family turned on him. The only people he loved. I get it.
Even with that, it was still a good quick story. Easy enough to figure out but still entertaining.

A bad, bad story. - Sigrun - Iceland
The only thing that made this book bearable was the glimpse into other characters' lives in the end in a kind of short story. It was nice to hear about Bride, Nick, Ash and the others. Not that this part was in any way a short story, it was too jumbled up for that, I just liked reading a a bit about Kenyon's other characters who actually are interesting and likeable.
Because believe you me, the characters in this book: Upon the Midnight Clear are everything but. How Kenyon who has written so many exciting books that I tear eagerly through, still hungry for more when the book is over. How far, far away from that this book is. Buying th,is book is a waste of time and money. Don't buy it and don't read it unless you feel a strong urge to punish yourself.
There is practically no story here. The entire dribble is uneventful, unengaging, flat, frustrating and just plain boring.
The main male character, Aidan, is a whiner who spends the entire book whining and complaining how bad the world has been to him and how he is such a wonderful, perfect person himself who has never done a single thing to deserve the harsh treatment of the world. After a couple of pages of: Waaahh waaaah, poor me, I have it so bad, feel sorry for I wanted to slap his face. Unfortunately, it only gets worse. The whole sorry story is in fact nothing but mind tearing, frustrating whine from this most boring of characters.I wanted to throttle him, slap him and scream in his face: Would you please stop! I can't take any more! Seldom does it happen that I actually want a character to die an excruciating death and never to be seen from or heard again (actually, that NEVER happens) but in this case I did. He was begging for it! What were you thinking Kenyon in inflicting this story upon us unsuspecting fans?! To borrow a page from this wretched character's book: What did we do to deserve this horror?!
The main female character, Leta, is supposed to be a goddess who is there to save Aidan from a horrible death. Well, I didn't see much saving there. Leta is such a lame, weak goddess that she actually can't manage that. Despite of Aidan being a puny human he is better suited to dealing with the angry god who is out to get him, rather than the goddess Leta who is all but worthless in a fight.
What can I say about Leta. Flat. Uninteresting. Dull. She is supposed to have a tragic background but I can't muster any interest in it. She is totally lifeless. Once in a while she comes up with a snide comment that spark a glimpse of humour in an otherwise dull story but right after she starts to feel for Aidan and his poor, poor soul. So the book is from start to finish a whiny retelling from Aidan about the bad, bad things people have done to him and the rest of it Leta thinking: Poor, poor Aidan.
In short: Nothing happens in this book except for mind numbingly boring conversations between the main characters about how bad the world has been to poor, undeserving Aidan, the rich movie-star and the thoughts of the MCs on the same matter.
That's it.
Please, PLEASE, in the name of everything that is good, wake up Sherrilyn! Stop torturing us and give us something good, fun and original to read again! You're too good for this! Find the spark again! Cause it sure wasn't in this sorry excuse of a book.
Don't waste your money! - CoffeeAddict - Cincinnati, OH
DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK, OR YOUR TIME READING IT. It is a waste of time and money. If I would have not purchased the next few books in advance I would have stopped with series all together, instead I will put them away for a good while and try to forget about this really horrific book, which was a real piece of ....
Different from Kenyon's normal writing - Melissa Marie Velarde - Raleigh, NC USA
I'm not quite sure what to make of this book. It was entertaining but I would say it's the worst book I've read so far from kenyon. It seems like it should have been written for an anthology or short story instead of a novel. I liked the first dream-hunter book, it was definitely much better than this one. This one lacked character and it seemed rushed to me. It's only 200 and some odd pages and the print is huge compared to kenyon's normal books. I just didn't find it as captivating as I normally do her books. I of course will continue on with this series as I absolutely love the dark-hunter series and I will also read any other dream-hunter books she writes since I don't want to miss out on details...but I hope she steps them up more than this. I also hope that she writes books for the more famous dream-hunters such as Neco, adarian, M'ordant and solin.
