I'm starting to think this series should've ended at Archeron's book. Since every book after that hasn't been all that good. The only good thing about Retribution was the bonus scene at the end. Which was about Archeron & Tory's son being born. Other than that this book wasn't that great but, it wasn't the worst in the series either. Also, this book wasn't really a Dark Hunter book either. It was centered more on Native American mythology (which had NO part in any of the other DH books) so that was confusing. This book was such a huge departure from what all the other DH books are centered on. Retribution was a case of having the 'too much's' (yes I made that word up), as in there was to damn much going on in this book that it was overwhelming & confusing at times. With all that said, at least Jess was kinda hot.
