The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

5.0

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.
