Ten books into the Lords of the Underworld series and
Gena
Showalter is still able to prove why she is the queen of
Paranormal Romance.
Kane, Keeper of Disaster, has not been a heavy presence in
the series so far, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Showalter gives Kane a stunning story that is sure to make
loyal fans rejoice! Kane is now a changed man. After being
tortured in hell, he has come out breathing, but no less
alive. He is plagued by memories of his torture. However,
his rescuer Josephina Aisling lights a fire within him that
burns brighter.
As a half-Fae creature, Josephina's royal family looks down
on her because of her diluted blood. She suffers
punishments simply because she was born that way, resulting
in her wish to die. She asks one thing from Kane -- for him
to kill her. But what happens when Kane decides he wants
her to live so that he can be with her?
THE DARKEST CRAVING is grand and epic. Showalter's
imagination is limitless and so is her ability to paint a
dazzling picture with her words. The writing is what drew
me into this book. Page after page is filled with humor,
steam, mythology and magic. Showalter has really outdone
herself with Kane's story, breathing life into his
character and making him stand proudly alongside the other
Lords of the Underworld.
THE DARKEST CRAVING just might be my favorite Paranormal
Romance of the year.
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter is
back with a breathtaking Lords of the Underworld tale about
a warrior trapped by darkness and the woman determined to
save him
Having endured weeks of torture in
the bowels of hell, Kane wants nothing to do with his
beautiful rescuer, Josephina Aisling. The half-Fae female
threatens to awaken the demon of Disaster inside him—a beast
he's determined to kill, no matter the price.
Josephina is hunted by a brutal enemy—her
royal family—and Kane is her only source of protection. He's
also the only male to ever set her aflame, and even he
succumbs to the heat. But as they navigate the treacherous
world of the Fae, they are forced to make a choice: live
apart…or die together.
