Valynda Moore has been burned by the man she loves so bad her now straw heart wants nothing but some mean vengence. But when you seek revenge on the loa of the dead, it might not go as planned. Especially when he's your true love and his family, among other dieties, are in the game.
Sherrilyn Kenyon has never let me down with her Dark-hunters and now I have fallen in love with the Deadmen Walking Crew. She blends legend with real time fiction so well you'll question if she has a direct line to the Gods and Goddesses themselves.
At Deaths Door is a wonderful addition to the series, so kick back with a glass of rum and see where the ship takes you.
Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and give an honest review.

Only complaint ... it was too short.
Xuri (Nibo) and Valynda (Vala) is quite the story. Vala has been on the Sea Witch II, and has grown close to the crew. She thinks of them as family ... so she's torn when the Malachai offers her a deal to get her body back ... but at a steep cost. She feels betrayed by Nibo. He wasn't there for her when she desperately needed him, and feels justified in betraying him. Once face to face with Xuri though, and she starts her wishy-washy feelings that are strong throughout the book ... but she has to make a decision.
Meanwhile, the crew is still trying to close the gate and stop the Malachai. I'm still confused about 'Madoc, Jaden, Jared, Cam, and all that. It closes with a nice tie-in to the start of the Dark Hunters in New Orleans.

As usual Kenyon doesn’t disappoint. The two main characters really had to fight for their happy ending and I kinda felt Kenyon struggle through the characters to fight for her own belief in a happily ever after.

Disappointed
The main female lead is everything I hate about novels. Woe is me, my life was terrible. Everything is always someone else's fault. Skimmed the last half of the book.

While anything by Kenyon is a treat, this one had a different feel from past volumes and it took me an effort to read. The characters were rich and engaging, as always, but the story lacked the clean precision from past works. The reason for my low rating, however, is because the resolution of the final conflict was so abrupt that I can honestly say I missed it. I kept expecting the finale. Another thing that was disorienting is that it wasn't immediately evident this was a historic novel.

All I've retained from reading the trilogy are all the different variants for the word bitch used throughout the series. To save you the trouble they are: bitchtress, bitchington, bitching-troll, bitchiness, bitchling. It's 3 books, but basically the same story, you read one you read the other 2. I am tired.

I enjoyed the book, but the writing style gets very repetitive.

I will be reading this again, later on. I think the narrator ruined this for me and I was super super lost in the world building and details. I will begin with book one in the trilogy and read it physically and see if that helps. I got to 50% and just need to set it aside, as the narration was too distracting to focus on the story.
