The Darkest Passion (Lords of the Underworld, #5)The Darkest Passion by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Welcome to book 5 of the Lords of the Underworld series.

Aeron has been a through a lot, not only is he the holder of Wrath, he had to tried to kill one of his best friends woman to being so close to hell he came back with a friend. When a angel falls into his life he is unsure of what to do next.

Olivia has been watching over Aeron for sometime and when he breaks a heavenly law she is sent to take his head but can she do it? From what she has seen, yes he may have broken the law, but unknowingly and with everything else he has done he shouldn't have to die for just one thing. The longer she waits the more she see, the more she see the more she can't help longing for him. When she most make up her mind she falls... right into his lap.

This books beings a lot of the angel lore into the series.

Over all, Gena knows what she is doing when it comes to the twists in her stories.

The Darkest Angel By: Gena Showalter

Heart of Darkness (Includes: Lords of the Underworld, #4.5)Heart of Darkness by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this is the another short story from the LOTW series. This takes place between book 4 and 5.

Title The Darkest Angel and can be found in "Heart of Darkness"

So we meet Bianka in book 4 of the Lord of the Underworld. She is one of Gwen's sisters and also a Harpy. When she is "kidnapped" by Lysander an Angel Commander and demon assassin who finds Bianka's beautiful deadly and that she needs a lesson in goodness. What Lysander did see coming was what Bianka may teach him.

Very cutie story that leads nicely into the 5th book.

The Darkest Whisper By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld, #4)The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So we are on to the 4th book of Lords of the Underworld!

So far out of all the female characters I have liked Anya the best, that is till I meet Gwen.

Gwen is a woman who wants to live outside of her dark side but that is not always easy. Being a Harpy can be hard, it also does't help that no one fears her like people fear her sisters. Being the youngest doesn't help too. When she is freed from the hunters she only has one thing on her mind. The man that saved her.

Sabin the holder of Doubt can't seems to keep his eyes for of Gwen. There was something about her. Something that pulls him to her. What he doesn't understand is why Doubt attack she the most. Is she weak?

When Gwen's sisters show up, it is up to Gwen to find her footing with Sabin. Maybe a little training from him would help her control her Harpy.

Over all, this book beings in a whole new side to the series. I don't want to get into it too much you'll just have to read it!!

P.S. The sisters are also awesome!

The Darkest Prison By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Prison (Lords of the Underworld, #3.5)The Darkest Prison by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story takes place in between book 3 and 4, and can be found in "Into the Dark"

So what happens when two Gods from different backgrounds are bound together out of lust! This story happens!

Atlas, the Titan God of Strength was the Greek Goddess Nike's slave. (Nike is the Greek Goddess of Strength) What happens when the tables are turn and its Atlas's turn to be in the lead?

With Nike now under Atlas control will she give into him after the pain he left her with the first time.

Again I love short stories that add to a really good plot already. It was a sweet story over all.

View all my reviews

The Darkest Pleasure By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld,  #3)The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 (WOOT!) of the Lords of the Underworld series.

Danika Ford and her family where first seen in Book 1 but now Danika is back. Is she yet another key in helping find the box? She is a woman on the ran but all she knows is that the Gods want her dead. With her side-kick Gilly they try to figure things out.

Reyes hasn't been able to stop thinking about Danika. He must find her before Aeron can. With little time to lose he makes his way to her. Only to find that that warmth he felt every time she was around before is hotter. What is a man to do when he can't feel pleasure without pain? Being bound by the high Demon Lord of pain isn't going to make this relationship any easier.

There is a lot of side tracking in this book but it brings a lot of things together in the end. I will not go into you'll just have to read it.

Over all, slow start but boy is the ending great.

The Darkest Kiss By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, #2)The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the first book out of the series that got my hooked into reading the others. I most say it is one of my top 5 for this series.

So this takes up right after "The Darkest Night."

Anya is the Goddess of anarchy who just happens to find that the Lords of the Underworld maybe able to help her with her little problem. O.K. it may not be so little but Anya has her eyes set on Lucien (The holder of Death) to aid her.

Lucien didn't want anything to do with Anya, even if she had the most lick-able lips when she is sicking on she lollipops. She was a problem he didn't have time for. Not with the Hunters looking for Pandora's box or dimOuniak as its older name.

Could Anya have a key to helping the lords get closer to finding Pandora's box or is she out for herself in the end.

I love the cat and mouse game with Anya and Lucien. Just thinking about some of the scenes make me hot.

Over all, the books need to be longer so then don't end as fast ^_-

The Darkest Night By Gena Showalter

The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1)The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book one for the Lords for the Underworld series by Gena Showalter. I picked up book two when I was looking at a second hand book store, when I realized it was the second one I started by search for the first book and whatever came after it at the time.

I have not gotten into a series so fast as this one. It helped that I was late to the party and could get 6-8 books right away.

Ashlyn Darrow is not your normal girl. She can hear voices. No not the ones from someones mind but from the past. She can stand in one place and hear every conversation that has ever happened there. Till she meets Maddox. Just him being around stops the voices, but why would they stop for him?

Maddox holds demon lord Violence within him. Like his follow warriors they all hold something dark within them for their punishment, but Maddox most of all. Will Ashlyn be able to set Maddox free, or will Maddox fear hold them both back.

This is a new twist to Pandora's box legend and I fall in love with it right off the bat. As a kid I was really into myths and legend.

Over all, the characters were well written, the plot seems like it will go on and on to make a great series over all.
