Second in the Lords of the Underworld paranormal-romance series.
The Story
After Darkest Night, I had assumed we would follow the story of Dannika instead we follow Anya, goddess of Anarchy, as she follows Lucien/Death around the castle and the world using childish tricks to attempt to get him to see her as a woman. The Lords are closing up shop in Budapest. They believe they must find the artifacts before Cronus does. Find Pandora's box before the Hunters. Somehow get rid of their demons and gain independent life.
My Take
Oh gawd, this had all the nuance and depth of lousy Saturday morning cartoons. Puh-lease. I can tell ya I ain't gonna be reading anymore of this series. It was all I could do to stagger through as it was.
"Want to fight me? Huh, huh, please?" is an example of the craftsmanship and maturity of Anya.
Gideon, one of the second group of Lords, is Deceit so everything he says is a lie. Fortunately, Showalter is constantly reminding us:
Oooh, I'm just shivery with…disgust…
And, there's just something about a goddess wearing panties. At least they're not granny panties…at least I don't think they are.
The Cover
Yup, the cover had a good-lookin' guy on it, bare chest with its huge butterfly tattoo wrapping around his shoulder with wings wrapping around to front and back. Obviously not Lucien since Lucien is all scarred up. The title. Well. Um. Still thinking… Anya and Lucien are pretty dark in their outlooks with fairly dark activities, so, I guess, um, that Darkest refers to their characters and they do Kiss…

"'Unspoken ones? I've heard of them,' Gideon said. Which of course meant that he hadn't."What?? Am I 6-years-old??? Is there any possible chance that Gideon gets to say more than six words? Oh wait, we're too stupid and thick to puzzle out his lies if he says more…
"Now she crossed her arms over her chest. Keep talking like this, and he just might jump you. Please, please, please. 'Are you going to try to kill me?'
'You know I must, but I will give you fair warning before I do.'"
Oooh, I'm just shivery with…disgust…

... The simple thought of having bought the first nine books in this series and not liking any of them...
Srsly. I love romance, paranormal and a little bit of erotica but this series does not seem to be working for me. Not even with the Greek mythology.
I cannot connect with the characters, I do not care for the general story arch, and in this book the fricking female protagonist was annoying, childish. I think I have the Dark-Huntes series so ingrained in my brain that i cannot deal with other series with a similar premise. MEEEH.

A steamy, sexy, thrilling adventure. You get more of the boys and you find out more about the mysterious Lucien. I found this the be an extremely addictive page turner. I look forward to more.
