Maddox: Demon of violenceButterfly: upper left shoulder, wrapping around to his backHis curse: He is stabbed every night only to be brought back to life the next day and then the next night he has to die again.Ashlyn Darrow: She works for the World Institute of Parapsychology.Supernatural ability: She hears voices about things that they happened in the past.In ancient time, Maddox is the warrior that killed Pandora and then the box that included all the vicious demons disappeared and all theSometimes what we want isn't what we need.Let me tell you a story.Thousands years ago the box that held the most disastrous demons was given by the gods to Pandora . She was a warrior and everyone felt envy that a female had the responsibility to reck the box . Anyone would kill for this position. Moving Pandora into a trap wasnt a smart move and warriors were bound to be possessed by these demons .In this book we are introduced Maddox . He played a significant role in Pandora's (view spoiler)
Opening line: " Every night death came, slowly, painfully, and every morning Maddox awoke in bed, knowing he'd have to die again later.As a fan of paranormal romance and in particular JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood my searches for what to read next kept taking me to this series. That's not to say the two are comparable, because they aren't but if you like continuing story arcs with multiple character POV's, hot, sexy love scenes, the occasional bloody fight and tortured yet strong alpha
This was such a boring read, it is kind of ridiculous.The Darkest Night is supposed to be a PNR book a-la-J.R. Ward - while there are many similarities, Showalter ultimately does not deliver. The book is filled with tortured fallen angels, forced to host a demon within them. But apart from being tortured, they are utterly indistinguishable. This is the case for the entire book - we are introduced to so many characters and none of them seemed to have a personality! The heroine, Ashlyn, was a
I wanted to love this one so much, but jeez Gena, why are you making this so hard? To channel my upcoming rant, I will focus only on: the Plot, the Complete Idiocy, the Insta-Insta Love, the Nipples and how Promiscuity is just Rape. The Plot - aka started from the bottom, now we here...still at the bottom. The premise to this novel was amazing - Pandora's box was opened by jealous warriors and as punishment, their spirits were fused with one of the sinful demons released. Their plan to
"Every night death came, slowly, painfully, and every morning Maddox awoke in bed, knowing he'd have to die again later. That was his greatest curse and his eternal punishment." This book is a great intro into the Lords of the Underworld series and I admit, I am completely hooked!! I will not stop until I read them all!!!Before I tell you about the story, you have to know a few facts about the Lords (all of these facts will be explained in the first 10 pages of the book so I won't be giving
What I expected:1. A too-sexy-to-be-true hero.2. A too-feminine-to-be-anything-but-Barbie heroine.3. Lust at first sight that magically transforms into true love barely 50 pages into the book.What I got:1. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments. 2. Swoon-worthy heroes. 3. A thoroughly enjoyable read.Yes, the girl's a virgin. Yes, the guy's an immortal who has existed since before time yet still hasn't ever fallen in love. But no, the girl's not a wimpy, gullible, brainless idiot. And no, the guy
