sarahbowman101 's review for:
The Darkest Night
by Gena Showalter
Ashlyn can hear voices of a place and has worked with the Institute to do something. Maddox is part human and part demon (Violence) something something something Pandora's Box. Maddox lives on a hill over Budapest with other half demon men and rescues Ashlyn from something.
The pacing was terrible and the action was sadly lacking. Not that I really wanted action, but when I expected it and instead got a bunch of people standing around for 20+ pages at a time whining about how they were going to take action it was really boring. The guys were all such alphas and completely interchangeable. But beyond the pacing and characterization and odd frame, there was a plot point that completely threw me.
It is one thing to say that you'd die for the person you love. But another to convince people to kill you instead of the meathead you met a few days earlier and actually go through with the plan is downright screwy. Especially when killing him doesn't really kill him what with the eternal demon thing. That isn't love and passion. That is insanity. And at that this book lost all credibility (all that it started off with a bunch of half demons living in a castle on a hill above Budapest).
