Dark Hunter Series in Order

Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series is the perfect supernatural combination.  It has warriors, strong heroines, an interesting narrative, rich background, and heartfelt scenes. All of that is infused with a good dose of humor.

The storyline has a clear arc even from the first chapters. Character development and world-building are among the best of any paranormal series.

Each novel follows a different Dark Hunter, Were Hunter, or Dream Hunter trying to save the world. But characters from previous books reappear, ensuring that you will always see them again.

The mythology is a blend of vampire, Greek, and werewolf elements. It’s a truly unique world – a lot of fun, a lot of complexity, yet easy to follow. The series spans 35 novels in total, but the author’s other books are also part of this Universe.

Kenyon has created a fascinating world that grows with each book. Reading them out of order will affect how much the reader appreciates the saga.
