Until now.

Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death—a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.

Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining.…

Average Customer Rating:

Hate the heroine, love the hero	Customer Rating:
What heinous crime did poor, sexy Lucien commit to get saddled with this chick? Anya is annoying in the extreme and completely unconvincing as an ancient goddess. Some readers may enjoy her lollypop-sucking, name-calling, shoplifting, slang-talking ways, but I don't.

If You Like a Dominate Female

Customer Rating:

Firstly, I love this series to death! The Lords of the Underworld series is amazing and I've fallen in love with all of the characters. Now, the Darkest Kiss my least favorite of the three because: 1) Sounds horrid and shallow of me to say this, but the main character, Lucien, Keeper of Death, is supposed to be an ugly warrior, with scars covering his face and body. This put me off from the get-go. I found myself flipping back to the book cover while reading, trying to convince myself that he actually looked like that. =[ 2) I thought there wasn't enough intimacy between the two main characters and I didn't like that the goddess pursued him the whole time and kind of made him look weak compared to her. She was the ballsy one. Besides those two things, the book was a good and I would read it again for sure. 3 or 4 chapters of the book are about Paris (I don't want to give anything away), which was something I didn't see in the other two books. So, the book wasn't strictly about Lucien and a sassy goddess; it skipped around to the other warriors and their "intimacies" a lot. I would recommend this book, especially to women that like a dominant female, rather than a male.

Darkest Kisss - you will want	Customer Rating:
Read in conjunction with Darkest Night. One of Gena Showalters best series. Each one is better than the last.

Suspense	Customer Rating:
This is a wonderful book with lots of suspense and romance in it. The series has been great to read. I hope they have more.

Another excellent novel in the series!

Customer Rating:

I enjoyed this one more than the first! I loved how Showalter wrote Anya's character. As the greek goddess of anarchy, Anya truly acted like a greek goddess; from the stomping of a foot when she didn't get her way, to pitching a fit if called a `minor' goddess, to the way she changes her mind and is constantly after what she wants, the portrayal of a Greek Goddess hit just the right spot. And Lucien... no matter how much he tried to push Anya away, she still got under his skin. Didn't help with his demon, Death, wanted Anya just as much. He hated having to rip souls from their bodies to deliver them where they were to go, whether Heaven or Hell, but was resigned to the task. Having Anya with him made the job easier. I thought the banter/fighting between the two really added character to the story. I always did like a good fight between the hero/heroine. Makes the story more interesting for me. And, no matter how selfish Anya is/was, she did the ultimate thing - giving up her one true treasure to save the warrior she loved. And Lucien, with one heck of a brain, saved her in return. Actions scenes were great, the fighting almost a constant now that the Hunters are clearly on their trail at every minute, there's no stopping now. Erotic scenes make the reader hot under the collar and wanting more. Most of the warriors have reunited, working towards one goal: stopping the Hunters and their Leader in finding Pandora's Box. If that box falls into the wrongs hands, the demons would be ripped from the warriors' bodies, and without the demons, the warriors die. Desperate times are calling for desperate measures, and I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.
