I cannot wait for the next several books to come out. So, they hunt the family down again and try to find the box or clues to the boxes location.I really like how this series has progressed. The immortals learn that the reason the God's wanted Danika's family dead was they knew how to find part of Pandora's Box.
The first two were great. Reyes is the immortal carrying the demon Pain, which means that he has the desire to self inflict wounds. I could not wait to read this book.
Since seeing her from the first moment, he wants to be with her, but is trying to keep away. A definite read for those that like Paranormal Romances. It may sound cheesy from the description on the back and the front cover, but don't let that stop you from reading it.This time the story is about Danika, one of four women the immortals were commanded to kill in the first book.
After being released, her family has gone into hiding, afraid that they will be killed by the immortals.
The character of Danika is just so well done, she is one of the most likable characters that I've read about in a very long time. Her nice normal life has turned into a horrible nightmare with no end in sight. the world building is already done so the author was more able to concentrate on the characters. I love all three of the books for this series but this one is my favorite for several reasons.
The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter is book three in the Lords Of The Underworld series and in my personal opinion also the best. 3. 2. This story is about the ancient warrior Reyes, who lives a tortured existence because he is also possessed by the demon of pain.
1. Even though the book is 368 pages long I really wasn't ready for it to end. Reyes' demon forces him to constantly harm himself and he can know no peace until the day that he meets the beautiful Danika, the one woman who can calm his demon.It's been a while since Danika Ford has known any peace herself. For some reason Cronos the King of the Titans has put out a contract on her life and that of her family.I know that I described The Lords of the Underworld books as my newest guilty pleasure and this book is no exception.
Not a series that I would run out and prebuy. It is difficult to really like these characters. It was okay. Not great, not bad.
Lover Awakened is probably the BEST paranormal book ever written, so anything in comparison CANNOT compare. He needs to feel pain to feel pleasure.meanwhile the name "Zhadist" just keeps echoing in my head.I thought the chemistry between Danika and Reyes was EXCELLENT. I did enjoy this book.it was very well paced, held my attention, had incredible chemistry between Reyes and Danika, and told the continuing story of the Lords of the Underworld and their conflict with the Hunters. Reyes demon Pain causes him lots of it. The story is getting a little silly if you ask me.all that Cronus/Pandora/Hunter conflict, but don't get me wrong.if Paris and Sienna/Toris and Cameo get a book.I'll be the first in line. The search for Pandora's box continues, and you really need to read these in order to understand what's going on.Maybe it's just me.but did anyone see a similarity with this book and Lover Awakened by JR Ward. If not for this comparison, I might have liked this book more than I did.
This book is very much more of the same as the previous two books. Of course this only works for a period of time before Danika forces his hand. I had some major concerns for Danika as Reyes is a fairly violent and bloody person (not to mention messy. and he tends to taint the women he associates with his demon so that they too begin to crave pain.
Paris did have a vision of Danika holding the box but that's obviously sometime in the future. However since Danika is the all seeing eye and basically a portal between heaven and hell the demon can't hurt her. The plot points set out certainly aren't finished by this book. If Ms. Only two of the four godly objects have been found and so they haven't gotten Pandora's box. Reyes holds within him the demon Pain and has been lusting after Danika Ford since book 1.
It basically just goes to hell (lol) when she is with Reyes rendering her safe from the demon.I just checked and there are not any other books published after this one so I'm not certain if she is still writing this series or not. Showalter writes more I'm willing to read them. all that blood.). Unwilling to afflict this future on Danika, Reyes protects her from both Aeron and himself.
