Paris' story did not disappoint!! The ending hit me out of left field never saw it coming! I am also stoked that Gena is writing a spin off with Zacharal, he is one of my favorites. :)
I'm pretty much only waiting for Torin's book and I'm done with this series. I did not like Paris at all and could give a crap about Sienna. A few major plot points were cleared up for the series a a whole but overall very blah.
I slogged through the first Showalter but couldn't make myself read past page 57 of this one. She cannot write.
This was my least favorite of all the Lords of the Underworld books. Considering all the anguish Paris has suffered in all the other books his story came across as a little to easy, too scripted and a bit of a letdown. The character development of Sienne could have been much better as well. At the end of the book I still felt like she was more of a side character than a main character. It was a decent read but not what I have come to expect from Gena Showalter.
i liked it but i only gave it 3 stars for the massive sex scenes. There were way too many and I was getting bored of just reading them. But then again its Paris's book. Aeron's book is still my favorite.
Paris and Sienna finally, finally are able to find each other. After lots of trouble, of course. And then they also have trouble staying together. I thought they wouldn't be together in the end. A nice twist in the middle. I liked it.
Wow, lots of sex! I don't know why I expected much else, this book is about the Lord of Promiscuity! Things keep getting zanier in the Lords of the Underworld world and I don't think I was in the mood for zany this time around......
Despite its flaws (bloat, seriously aggravating new minor characters, yada, yada, yada), this remains one of my favorite LotU books. Paris and Sienna really work for me as a couple. I'm happy to see them get their HEA. More than that, they get a fresh start and a chance to heal. Good stuff. Yeah, Paris's arc dragged on years longer than it should have, but, for me, this was a satisfying ending.
Re-read in 2020, and revised from 4 stars down to 3. Its flaws bother me a lot more now that I have some distance from the series.

So many things were happening in this story, I almost got a whiplash reading! Sienna is dead, but Paris finally found a way to see and touch her again, which leads to some very interesting moments between the two of them, and of course Paris' demon Sex.
The Lorsd had to fight different factions this time, the Hunters, of course, Cronus, the Unspoken, some demons in hell, and even others showed up for fights. In the end, there was an epic showdown that blew my mind, and I was completely surprised with the outcome.
Paris showed a new side to himself that I really, really liked.

The Darkest Seduction
3.5 Stars
Paris, the keeper of Promiscuity, is cursed with the need to bed a new person every night or suffer the consequences. Yet, the only woman he has ever truly wanted, Sienna Blackstone, is out of his reach. Now, however, Sienna has become the new keeper of Wrath, and she and Paris may finally attain the love and peace they have always craved. That is unless the ongoing feud between the Gods tears them apart for good.
It has been 5 years since I last read an LOTU book. This prolonged break may have been out of concern that Paris and Sienna's story would not live up to expectations. While the story is entertaining overall with some compelling developments in the ongoing story arc, it is also overly long (at 500 pages), and the repetitive and excessive descriptions of Paris and Sienna's guilt and angst undermines the romance.
Paris and Sienna's relationship has been building toward an exciting climax for 9 books. Unfortunately, the result is rather weak as they both come across as whiny and annoying. It still remains unclear what it is about Sienna that attracts Paris to the extent that she is him mate, i.e., the only woman with whom he can have sex more than once.
It is the secondary storylines the really make this a worthwhile read with updates on several of the Lords including Maddox, Kane, Torin and Galen as well as the introduction of several new characters including the Keeper of Narcissism (who, unfortunately, has the most ridiculous dialogue). There is also closure on the Cronus and Rhea front as the prophecies come to the fore.
In sum, Showalter concludes several threads in this book and it certainly feels that way. She also opens up new directions for the series, and its spin-off Angels of the Dark. Kane's book is next and even though the reviews have been quite ho-hum, I'm willing to give it a chance.
