The Darkest Passion by Gena Showalter

5.0

This book is my favorite in the series thus far. Aeron and Olivias story has connected with me on an emotional level. Olivia is an Angel sent to kill Aeron, keeper of the lord wrath. Unable to do so she falls from Heaven and defies hell and hunters to get to Aeron.

This is truest love story as Aeron treats her with disdain to avid becoming close. She even has her voice of truth taken from her because she wants to save Aeron. She is the true embodiment of an Angel.

Aeron tries to avoid Olivia as Legion a demon cannot stand her presence. As his feelings grow he shuns Legion who makes a pact with the devil himself, Lucifer. Legion is given time to seduce Aeron or else Lucifer takes control of her body. I must admit legion is getting on my nerves in this book. I was seriously thinking to myself "why doesn't this bitch go back to hell?"

It gets even crazier as Gideon has a ghost from the past enter his life.

Aeron now has the dilema of saving the love of his life Olivia by dying or sleeping with Lucifer to save his friends from his destruction.

This book is packed with an abundance of WTF and AWWWWW moments that have left me crying and truly shook. This book was really emotional for me. Olivia loving Aeron and him finally loving her back but not being able to express it because he was carded to sleep with legion to protect the world from Lucifer. It just isn't fair you know

I mean look at this line:

Perhaps it was the please that swayed her. Perhaps the savageness of his actions. Either way, she shouted, “Because you aren’t what you believe you are. You aren’t what everyone else believes. You might have delivered countless deaths but you love more fiercely than anyone I’ve ever known. You give of yourself with no thoughts to your own happiness.” She laughed, and it was as bitter-sounding as his own had been. “Funny, isn’t it? The very qualities that brought me to you are the things that are sending me away.”

Hands down my favorite book so far. And that ending !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paris I cannot wait for your story
