In this next installment Gena Showalter continues the journey with her infamous immortal Lords of the Underworld,and their plight to find Pandora's Box.Things are heating up in more ways for the boys as they not only have to battle the hunters to keep their secrets safe,but one by one each of them are awakening and battling with their heart.This book finds Reyes(keeper of Pain) still hopelessly besotted with Danika.But there is far more to Danika as we know from previous books,and this book reveals her importance to the Gods,revealing a grand scheme in the making.Showalter has also built on the earlier relationships from books 1&2. We see Maddox & Ashyln developing a closer bond,Lucian & Anya now a couple & the dynamics in the house seem forever changed by the arrival of the ladies.As much as the warrior Lords grumble,it has gone from a cold fortress,to the home so many of them have been without for a millennia.The finale is a showdown with Cronus that has Reyes fighting for Danika.What a man!I won't spoil the plot but he travelled around the world & beyond daring to defy the Gods for this woman.He loves her more than anything.I recommend reading the books from the beginning,as it gives the characters a beautifully laid out complexity.Can't wait to see how this will be used to full effect in upcoming books.I was hooked after the 1st one,and was delighted to find each offering different but just as much to my liking!My only down point is that I have to wait until May 2009 for the next installment of the Lords series "The Darkest Whisper" (Sabins story).Read full review
I strongly agree with the way mllewoof descibed this book. This is the 3rd book in the demons of the underworld. I really recommend really the firts two before reading this one. The love and devotion Reyes shows for his woman Danika had my heart clenching and holding back the tears. He endured great pain and sacrifice to have her. She on the other hand had to convince him that he was worthy of love and the touch of sexual pleasure. This book also brought out alot of the other complexities of what these men will have to do to win the freedom from their demon's. I cannot wait for Ashlyn to give birth and see how the end all comes together. Hopefully happy.
I read the preview online and decided that these books sounded interesting. I am more of a James Patterson type of person. A person who really enjoys a book that pulls you in and weaves a story you can really believe has or is going to happen. These books were very intriguing, suspenseful, and a very delightful surprise. There is murder, suspense, betrayal, and the requisite love story. Be warned though, these do have a few (3-10 pages) that put Harlequin romance novels to shame. The story was very thought out though. It only took me a week to read all three of the books that are out so far. I am eagerly awaiting the next book. Hurry Gena.
Excellent series. Gena Showalter is my new favorite writer.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
BACK OF BOOK SAYS: REYES is a man possessed. bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to known pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her even defy the gods. This is developing into a really good series, each book is better than before. i'm anxious to read about paris, but i see the next book is sabin.
