I've read better

Thought this book would be a good read based on the reviews but was disappointed. Just when the action would start and grab your attention it would end suddenly and start with a sex scene, I bought the books on audio in a combo deal.I feel like I wasted my money. Don't plan on reading any more of the seies.There was nothing there to keep your attention.


Beginning of Series: A Little Jewel in Paranormal Romance

Let me begin by saying I am an avid paranormal romance reader. I have read all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Dark Hunter, Carpathians, Argeneau/Rogue Hunter, Midnight Breed,Darkyn, Nightwalkers, Ione's Demonica, Immortals After Dark, The Others, all Shelly Laurenston/GA Aiken, all Cynthia Eden, and many many many others (See My Listmania for more good series). That being said, I can honestly say that at the moment this is my favorite series. Showalter is a solid author, and has other books I have enjoyed such as most of her Atlantis series. However, these are her masterpiece in my opinion. I absolutely love this book in particular. It is the first in the series, so it is fast paced and there seem to be many details left hanging at the end. That is the nature of the first book in a series. Nevertheless, her characters call to the reader. Maddox is truly a wonderful character. You can't help but want him to succeed. Ashlyn comes off as weak in a lot of ways but redeems herself by the end of the book. She is so innocent, it is almost unbelievable, but the author's explanation of why she is so inexperienced with people and relationships makes sense. We understand why she is so socially inept and why she is unable to see the true nature of the people she has surrounded herself with. Meanwhile, Maddox's pain is palpable, and so is his loneliness. The fact that these two latch on to each other so quickly can be explained as a result of their circumstances up to that point. After so many years of loneliness, they finally make a connection to another being and simply do not let go. Love grows pretty quickly from there. The story is sweet, and the action is perfectly balanced so as not to overpower the romantic element. After all, this is Maddox and Ashlyn's story, not just an installment in a series. I think most paranormal romance readers will find this story satisfying and just plain fun to read. After reading all the books in the series published so far, I can honestly say that I have not been disappointed by any of them (Although some of the eBooks and novellas connected to the series have not been to my liking). This series is a little jewel in this genre and I highly recommend readers to take a closer look.

His powers -- Inhuman
His passion -- Beyond immortal . . .

All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member -- a man trapped in a hell of his own.

Neither can resist the instant hunger than calms their torments . . . and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction -- and a soul-shattering test of love . . .

Though they carry an eternal curse, the Lords of the Underworld are irresistibly seductive -- and unimaginably powerful . . . Don?t miss this incredible new paranormal series from Gena Showalter!
