The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

2.0

I reread this one and couldn’t get behind either of the main characters or their insta-love relationship. Maddox constantly makes empty death threats at the other Lords to essentially not look at Ashlyn - this is their primary dialogue and connection. In fact he makes threats and demands and has random violent urges which the author romanticizes as devotion, based in love or neutral because they’re his nature. Ashlyn is emotionally immature and her lame actions and thoughts kept me from rooting for her.
