The Darkest Passion by Gena Showalter

5.0

Oh, Aeron. I've waited for his story for what feels like ages, and I was not disappointed.

The mysterious entity that Aeron has felt watching him, and Legion has had to flee from on occasion, turns out to be Olivia--a new warrior angel charged with killing Aeron. Horrible, right? Only Olivia refuses to kill Aeron, as she has found herself drawn to him, and instead chooses to become "fallen" in order to be with him.

Filled with uncertainty, hilarious moments, terribly sad good-byes, and non-stop action, Aeron and Olivia's story was everything it should have been. Up until the end. The ending, for me, was just a little too neat. I know it must be in order for the series to make way for Gideon's story, but not only does Legion get a second chance, but Sienna does, too?

Speaking of Legion, what will come of her and Galen's "moment", I wonder. And does Sienna's return (despite the circumstances) mean Paris will finally get his HEA? I hope so. He deserves it. Torin, too.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed The Darkest Passion. The love story was sweet, the sex scenes were hot (!!), and the action was everything I've come to expect from a "Lords of the Underworld" novel. If you love the Lords like I do, don't miss Aeron's story.
