Lucien is one of the Lords of the Underworld, a group of
warriors cursed to house the demons they unleashed when
they opened Pandora's box. Lucien is doomed to be the
keeper of death. He does not allow distractions, so when a
goddess, Anya, keeps popping up around him; he does his
best to ignore her. It would be easier if he were not so
attracted to her. However, he finds it a little bit
difficult to do his job when he is ordered to take care of
her. Failure is not an option for him. What is he going
to do? How will he handle all the duties that have fallen
into his lap?
Anya is the goddess of anarchy. She thrives on chaos, and
takes pleasure in creating a little mischief. She has
always been carefree and loving it until she sees Lucien.
She sees him as the man who could end her freedom. She
experiences an attraction to him that she has never known.
She receives a thrill being in his presence, but their
encounters soon become a quest for survival as Lucien is
forced to carry out his duty. Yet she cannot help but
wonder what would it be like to know a man, to have someone
love her, to never be alone? Will she be able to find
someway around this death sentence?
Gena Showalter has added a fantastic installment to her new
series. Once again the characters drive this wonderful
tale. Lucien is a very tormented man who takes his duties
very seriously. He has to succeed to ensure the safety of
his fellow warriors. It is very easy to understand what
motivations drive him. Anya loves to taunt her charms to
Lucien; half hoping he succumbs to her and half hoping that
he does not. She is very aggressive and willing to fight
for what she wants. We still receive glimpses into the
lives of the other Lords to sate our cravings, but there
are quite a few developments that are left unanswered. THE
DARKEST KISS captivates the reader and holds them
spellbound until the end. I cannot wait for the next
offering.
He is death, destined to be her executioner. She is Anarchy, determined to be his lover. They should have been enemies, but they become allies, traveling the world to find and destroy an ancient relic of the gods before it can be used against him -- separating them for eternity.
