Series: Lords of the Underworld Book 1

My Rating: 4 Fangs!!!!


A great start to a new series! Ashlyn is a very amazing woman, but she has a curse of her own. She can hear any words that have been spoken aloud. She loves Maddox from the moment she sees him. Maddox is a very strong character that i absolutely fell in love with. He reminds me of the brothers from the Black Dagger Brotherhood. In fact this series has the making to be an incredible series quite like the BDB.

There is also a very awesome group of bad guys, they are hunters trying to get rid of the demons that inhabit the Lords. So they have set out to find the box that housed the demons before they were set free. Personally i like getting to see the hunters as the bad guys for a change. Much like Larissa Ione’s Demonica series, in the sense of demons being the good guys and the hunters being the bad guys.

In this series you will recognize the story of Pandora’s Box. Just its a bit different from the children’s story we all know. When the Lords opened the box they let some unimaginable creatures free. Because they let out the demons they were all cursed with a demon of their own. Maddox’s demon-Violence is the one that killed Pandora, and so the Gods cursed him to dying a truly Violent Death each night.

I won’t give anything else away. I really do believe that you guys will enjoy this Ongoing series.
