Book Review of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Deadmen Walking
I’m usually a big Kenyon fan. I looked forward to this release because it promised more information about the Hellchasers and Thorn. We’ve seen glimpses of them in other books, but this was supposed to explain things a little more clearly. It really didn’t. We had a lot of new character introduced who were given a second chance after being damned and some new species to learn about.
These creatures fight the worst of the worst out of the sight of humans. But, the romance between the two main characters fell flat and there just wasn’t enough to keep interest in the story. It was complicated by an ex wife who was the sister of the main heroine, who is also the ship. It was an ok read. I give it 3 out of 5 stars since it really disappointed.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon debuts a sweeping new epic saga sure to appeal to her millions of fans! Deadmen tell their tales . . . To catch evil, it takes evil. Enter Devyl Bane—an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World. A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn—an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world. Those powers have been imprisoned for eons behind enchanted gates . . . gates that are beginning to buckle. At Thorn’s behest, Bane takes command of a crew of Deadmen and, together, they are humanity’s last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their hell realms. But things are never so simple. And one of Bane’s biggest problems is the ship they sail upon. For the Sea Witch isn’t just a vessel, she’s also a woman born of an ancient people he wronged and who in turn wronged him during a centuries long war between their two races—a woman who is also sister to their primary target. Now Marcelina, the Sea Witch, must choose. Either she remains loyal to her evil sister and almost extinct race against Bane and his cause, and watches humanity fall, or she puts faith in an enemy who has already betrayed her. Her people over the totality of humanity—let’s hope Bane can sway her favor. Deadmen Walking is the first historical fantasy title in New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Deadman’s Cross series. It is a tale of passion and loss, emotions that wound and heal...and ultimate redemption
Sherrilyn Kenyon Quote
“evil didn’t pick and choose who to corrupt. It took root like an insidious weed that sought to destroy whatever garden it could find succor in, no matter who, what, or where that garden originated from. Evil was never picky about its host. That was why it was so important to rip it out and toss it off before it could spread and rot the garden from the inside out. Take over and destroy the beauty that made the garden whole and healthy.” Deadmen Walking, Sherrilyn Kenyon
