The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
4.0

|3.8 keeper of awesomeness stars|

It is so good when things turn out positively.


I was a bit afraid of finding out I didn’t like this series after reading The Darkest Touch but with re-reading this first book? I feel like I’m back on it.
The Lords of The Underworld series is so addicting and so much fun and with an interesting premise, it’s no wonder why how these books have made it this far.

I find the mix between Greek mythology, urban legends and paranormal creatures pretty great and with this compelling characters, you just want to learn more and more about them.

In this first story we fall in love with Maddox, keeper of the demon of Violence and Ashlyn, a young girl working for a paranormal researcher institute with an interesting gift. It’s a bit of insta-love but more like insta-lust and it’s a very decent start of a series. We also meet Maddox’s brothers in arms: Torin, Lucien, Reyes and Paris who are the keepers of Disease, Death, Pain and Promiscuity respectively. Also we learned about their backstory and their curses.

Overall I think this a good paranormal romance book and I will be re-reading the rest of the series because why not.
