So, Sherrilyn Kenyon has now joined the throng of popular adult novelists who are invading the teen genre, and she's dragging her Dark Hunter's along for the ride. Good job, Sherrilyn, get the interested in Nick and the Dark hunters, then have them read those racy adult books of yours and watch how Nick turns into a "bad guy", not to mention the annoyance that is your largest book in the series, "Acheron". There's a reason I stopped reading you. You got dark, I got bored, and you TOTALLY screwed over the character of one of my favorite Greek Goddesses. Poor Artemis, goes from the Goddess of the Hunt and virginity to a sex starved, flame haired, manipulative BITCH. I have a hard time picturing the goddess who turned a man into a stag for spying on her bathing as a sex craved maniac. The manipulativeness, yes, she is a Greek Goddess, after all.
Still, I'm tired of the adult best sellers crossing genre! I don't care if they write well or not (and quite frankly, not all of them can write a teen book well. And I think it's annoying when an author drags their already adult characters into the genre, as well. I know it's a hook to get them reading their adult series, but damn, if they're interested, they'll read it.
Not like they need the sales, anyway. >.<
Sorry, just venting, it's morning and my head hurts.
