Es la única heroína de Showalter que me cae mal. Demasiado poderosa, puede hacer lo que sea que requiera la trama.

This was a re-read
I loved it just as much as the first time.
I liked Keeley much more than Torin because he wasn't as nice as he was in the previous books. He ticked me off a few times.
I'm ready to start the next book in the series.

Update: December, 16th, 2014
I finally finished this one. Geez, but it took me forever and a day to actually do it!
I don't even know what to say. It's Gena Showalter, folks, and it's her best series yet and it's freaking Torin aka Disease, so of course I would like it. But I just feel so disappointed.
Maybe it was because my expectations were too high, giving that Torin was always my favourite, along with Aeron, and there's the fact he could never touch anyone, so of course it would be monumental when he finally found his match.
Maybe, I was expecting a different plot, even though I can't say for sure what it actually was.
Or maybe, just maybe, it was because I don't think The Red Queen is a good match for Torin.
I will admit Keeleycael is funny. She's a kickass fighter, who doesn't take shit from anybody and gives as good as she gets.
But she's not my type of heroine. I prefer them like Olivia, Aeron's lady love. She's strong and fierce, a warrior in her own right, yet gentle and loving.
She doesn't need to keep spitting death threats or stupid crap to bust her self esteem. Plus, she doesn't have that annoying trait so many women in books have, which is fear of commitment and thinking loving someone will only make you weak and break you.
Keeley is just another hellion like Anya and Kaia and, though they have their qualities, they're just not the type of women that make me long to be in their shoes.
Plus, I didn't much feel the connection between her and Torin. I felt the intense sexual attraction, but there was nothing deeper than that for me.
Apart from that, the book was great. Lots of stuff going on and characters doing surprising stuff, that you can't help but want the next book in your hands.
By the way, I am hoping and praying like hell for the next book to be William and Gilly's. Those two are killing me with the tension. It's so obvious both of them love and desire each other that it's almost silly.
I think it will be Cameo and Lazarus's though and, if so, it's going to be awesome as well. I bet there are way too many great stuff on the way for them. It's just Gena prolonging my misery and longing. LOL

THE DARKEST TOUCH?
Oh...my...God!
I freaking knew it! I must be a witch or something. I freaking knew the title would be this one!
Darla, girl, do you remember when we seriously ranted about the series and said it would be awesome if the title of Torin's book was The Darkest Touch? Guess what? It is! Mwahahahahahahah :D
I loooove it! It sounds decadent...sinful...luxurious...
Like Torin! *moans*

3.5/5 stars. overly gushy, it felt rushed, had no depth, and only hinted at the storyline and characters id fallen in love with throughout the series. eh. disappointing.

I never thought a Happily Ever After would work for Torin and I'm so glad it did! Gina seems to be back on her game for this book. I totally recommend, but not as a stand alone novel. There is WAY too much previous content. I can barely keep the characters straight. I forget who is connected to who and what race they are. I am concerned though, as the women in the LOTU series keep getting more and more powerful. It seems as if the men are almost "basic" in comparison.

Torin, the best Lord of all! Also, I am betting that there will be books for Cameo, Viola and William. But Cameo people!!! And Lazarus too!

First book I've listened to in the series
This is book 11 of the Lords of the Underworld series but the first I've listened to. I was able to enjoy this book without having listened to the previous books, although I am aware there is history between characters in this book that is revealed in previous books. These gaps did not hinder my enjoyment or understanding of this book, but I'm sure knowing the history would have enhanced my experience.
This was an exciting story, with strong, fascinating characters. Keeleycael is a strong heroine, which is refreshing, and Torin is the kind of hero you root for and the perfect match for Keeleycael. I enjoyed their banter throughout the book.
I look forward to enjoying more books in this series.
