– Customer review on 24/11/2008 Kenyon is back! After 'Acheron', [sorry, all those who liked it, but this is my review and I found it self-indulgent and tedious for the most part, without the light Kenyon gave to her earlier Dark Hunter novels], I was a little worried trying 'One Silent Night'. It was the character of Stryker that tempted me. Could Kenyon make the bad guy of the Dark Hunter novels a viable hero? Oh, yeah. Kenyon has taken what could be a black and white scenario of good versus evil and made Stryker, at least for this novel, a hero. Not even an anti-hero. An honest to goodness [okay, so 'goodness' mightn't actually apply] hero as he and Ash, and Stryker's furious ex, Zephyra, a woman who can really put hell into hello, fight together against a Christmas Eve bloodbath. While maybe not at the level of the very first Dark Hunter books, before they got bogged down in the mythological backdrop, 'One Silent Night' is, for me, almost back to Kenyon at her best.
