Theres just something about books like this, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, The Highlander series, and other similar books that I just love. I know Ive mentioned before that I love a scarred hero - both physically and emotionally, and this book had them both, all wrapped up in a nice non vampire (always a plus but not necessarily a needed) yet demon package. Other than one anthology a few years ago this is actually the first Gena Showalter book I have ever read. How on earth could that have happened?!" you may exclaim, well quite honestly, the novella I read by Showalter wasnt anything that I'd write home about so I didnt bother to pursue her any further. This book however makes me change my thinking about her. In it contains good guys who are in essence bad guys, a rather awesome heroine who isnt too hardcore to be vulnerable, sex, tension, sexual tension, all set within a paranormal realm of existence. Definitely an "everyone wins" type of thing in my book.
Anya, goddess of anarchy is smitten with Lucien - warrior with the demon of death trapped inside of him. After a few adventures, lots of lust, ancient curses, Medusa like creatures, and eventually true love, this story gets the thumbs up from me.
I swung by Borders today and picked up the first one in the series The Darkest Night - going to start that tonight while Im DJing. How will I read and DJ at the same time? After about 11:30pm on a Wednesday night in south central PA, things tend to die down rather drastically. So all i need to do is put in a CD and let it play. It will still be a loooong night regardless, but Im hoping that The Lords Of the Underworld will be able to help dull the pain of staying out until 2am on a weekday when I know I have to be up at 6:45am the following morning in order to make it to the bus stop on time.

Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining.…
