The Darkest Touch by Gena Showalter
3.0
Hard to say whether I just liked it, it was good, or it was really good, as at different points of the book, I felt differently. It was very good at some points. It definitely was sexy with them, although I think Disease has to be worse than end Destruction. If you read Kane's story and has his HEA. Here it is really hard to imagine Torin's HEA. I really liked their story... most of the time. There was a little too much push and pull and giving in, and kicking oneself. So that kind of killed the chemistry a bit. Still it was good.
If you have never read any of the Lords of the Underworld, don't start here. This is not a stand-alone. All the other Lords show up in the end so it is nice to see them but a new reader would be bored with all the name drops. Also the nemesis Galen shows up a bit and you kind of have to know a little about why he is a hated one. Then there is the side story of Cameo (despair) going on as a side story, along with Pandora and the other woman/girl. So a lot going on that all started with either the last book or the book before. Also all the characters continuing that are not explained. Really, just don't read this book if you haven't read many of the others and for certain, The Darkest Craving, which came before this one.
