We follow Maddox in the first book of this series of the Lords of the Underworld. What has happened that Maddox received his curse and eternal punishment? What is that punishment? Who is Torin? What exactly did the Lords of the Underworld do that earned the eternal wrath of the Gods? What demon does Maddox hold inside of him? There are no end to the problems that Maddox's personal house demon in his body cause him. Where did these demons come from? What demon do we find out that Torin has? I had to laugh when I read about Paris and his demon. What causes Paris to forsake his one duty to the other Lords in the house? Who is Aeron and what has happened to him? Torin is the man who keeps the safety of the home where the Lords live. What he sees outside and he brings Maddox in to show him causes Maddox to pause and think. To worry. Who is Ashlyn Darrow? Why is she in Budapest? What does she want with the Lords? When Ashlyn is stopped because of two bloody blades over her shoulders in a tree, what happens? Who else was out there and what is she told? What doe Ashlyn witness with regards to the other Lords and Maddox? Why is she so worked up? Will she listen to reason? When Aeron returns, what information does he impart to the other Lords while Maddox is in his own personal Hell and Ashlyn is locked away in the dungeon? Who is Danika? How does she end up at the home with her mother, sister, and grandmother? What happens to Ashlyn after eating her first meal there at the Lords house? What does Reyes refer to Danika as? What does he call her? You really need to keep an eye out and figure out why these bachelors suddenly have women showing up in their midst. It is funny. This is a very interesting Paranormal Romance with some Dark undertones. It was a book I could not stop reading, even as I re-read this. I own this series, am only missing a couple of books from the very end of the series. I love it and buy them when I find them on sale! Enjoy it.
ayyyyyyyyyyyyy çok güzeldi yanlız kitabın yarısının aynı odada geçmesi beni biraz sıktı. mitoloji iblisler her şey var vampirleride ararsak çıkar cadılarla berabeer. anyanın hikayeyi merak ediyorum açıkçası bu sefer özet yok içimden gelmiyor belki daha sonra :D
This book reminded me a lot of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. However, this book was not a good as the BDB.
Oh my! Percy Jackson for grown-ups...and steamy to boot.
I'm not really into romances where the male lead is so violent and detestable (or self-loathing) that it turns into a "soothing the savage beast" kind of thing. The female lead was more interesting, and the supporting characters were far more interestingly constructed, so I want to continue reading the rest of the series.
This book reminded me of BDB (Black Dagger Brotherhood) however there was less story and more porn. The story is about a group of Warriors who were protectors of the Gods. After Pandora's box is opened the demons held within are all released. While it was entertaining it seemed as if the author was stretching to find content in order to make it flow across the series. Anya was the funniest person in the whole series. While I understand that this is a fiction book it just didn't have the same umpf for me. I don't mind reading a book with lots of sex however I do occasionally like a story and it seemed as though she couldn't get through a few pages without it.
Re-read
Reading this book again, I had a greater like for it than the 1sr time. I hope Reyes is next.

“Until you, my life was desolate. I existed, but I didn’t truly live. Now I live, even in death.”
I’m teetering in my rating because I LOVE the story set up in this first novel, but I think I would have jived more with different main characters. Ashlyn and Maddox aren’t my favorites. Good, but not great. I know several Lords that I’m way more excited to sink my teeth into!

The whole Greek twist with Pandora’s box really sets this series apart for me, and I can’t wait to read the rest! Ancient warriors possessed by demons that represent the cardinal sins of humanity… each finding love? Yes, please. A quest to reclaim Pandora’s box? Also, yes. GIMME TORRIN AND GIDEON’S STORIES NOW, PLEASE.
What I didn’t jive with necessarily was the instant love fest and flirtatious innuendos of the characters. I am sensing a bit of hocus pocus from the Gods or Titans since all of a sudden it’s raining women for these otherwise emotionally unavailable immortals... but still. Danika is way more believable regarding her attraction to Reyes, but still being a sensible human and not just throwing herself over to lust. This chick has her priorities straight. I know Ashlyn is an orphan and all (trust me, the author really hammers it home) but damn.
This novel is intended to be steamy, but some action sequences may have been a bit TOO over the top. And I’m still waiting for our protagonists to have spent more than three seconds together without ripping each other’s clothes off.
Peanut Gallery: “But Persy, they totally waited more than three seconds!”
Me: “Being dead, dying, or terminally ill doesn’t count.”
Peanut Gallery: “...”
Overall, I liked it. I’m willing to push on to more of the series because I think Miss Gena will make it up to me later. Hopefully, with more of the characters that I perceive to be charming and have actual depth. Less of Paris, who is a running gag that may as well run down the hall with peanut butter on his privates being chased by Cerberus. (Honestly wouldn’t be surprised)
