Dance with the Devil - Sherrilyn Kenyon

Dance With The Devil reminds me so much of Zsadist book ( Lover Awakened)  in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Zarek's past made me think about all the people in the world that are meant to suffer such agonizing fates but the struggle to survive is so great that they never make it to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I had a hard time making it through this book, it took me 2 days to finish. It wasn't that the book was bad, it was quite good, and had moments of humor just as the others books in the series but Zarek's past was so daunting. Where did he get his strength from to endure such a harsh life?  I was happy to find that through his struggle he was able to find peace. I am now off to read the a Dark-Hunter Christmas - short story then I will move onto Kiss of The Night, book 5 of the Dark Hunter series.
