"After reading The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, Book 1), I knew I wanted to continue reading Gena Showalter's Darkest Night Series. The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2) takes right off where The Darkest Night left off. In the Lords of the Underworld series, a group of immortal men live have been cursed to house demons for eternity. They opened Pandora's Box and now have to live with demons inside themselves. In The Darkest Kiss, Lucien, is the Keeper of Death.
As soon as Anya, goddess of Anarchy, finds the Lords of the Underworld, she falls in love with Lucien. She keeps herself hidden, and basically begins to stalk Lucien, following his every move. When she makes herself known to him, Lucien is weary of her. Hunters are always on the lookout for the immortals, wanting to kill them, especially the Lords of the Underworld. But once Lucien realizes Anya is not a hunter, he still wonders why she wants him. He is badly scarred and all the brothers consider him to be 'the ugly one'. But Anya won't give up that easy, she knows she wants Lucien and sets out to seduce him.
Lucien has been ordered by the gods to kill Anya, but he can't bring himself to do it. As the Lords of the Underworld travel distant locations in search of an ancient relic, Anya and Lucien pair up. Anya does everything she can to seduce him.
I enjoyed The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2) . Lucien and Anya are great characters and the chemistry between the two is hot. I liked that Anya is a strong woman, she doesn't take 'no' for an answer and can take care of herself. Lucien is a great hero.
This is a fun series. I'll be reading book three. If you like paranormal romance, Alpha males and a fun and sexy plot, you may want to give this series a try. The love scenes were done really well.
The one thing I didn't like about this book was that towards the end, there was too much involved. The plot kept jumping from Anya and Lucien to a few of the other Lords. I felt like that made the book longer than it needed to be. But all in all, this was an enjoyable read."
"Finding the ancient relics should be the only thing on Lucien's mind, but Anya the 'Minor' Goddess of Anarchy would not let him or his demon Death think straight. Ever since he had first smelled her while she helped his friends Maddox and Ashlyn break one of the Gods terrible curses, Lucien could always tell if she was around. Anya was powerful enough to be able to be invisible, 'flash' from point to point and she held a key that allowed her to get out of anything. When Lucien had been ordered by the Gods to take Anya's life, he knew he could not and was hoping he could find some way to deal, make a trade with the Gods to keep her alive and with him. Though he had told Anya about his orders, she could not seem to stay away. Almost baiting him to strike her down, she began to toy with him and his demon, whether to anger or arouse Anya was a torment that Lucien and Death wanted to have around.
I had a difficult time with this one, I adore Lucien and Death, the control and understanding that they seem to share is a wonderful combination. The character had been in the first book, so I had already enjoyed them. Anya, was an annoying little brat that got on my nerves. She was not my favorite character of this book. I felt Lucien deserved so much better, how about that, a demon deserves better than a goddess. The best part was near the end when she was finally honest with Lucien about her curse. The extra tidbits about the rest of the warriors and their demons are few and far between, I missed Maddox, Keeper of Violence. The bits about Reyes, Keeper of Pain were good but since I believe the 3rd book is about him and Danika, the information probably could have waited. I am eager to see how Paris, Keeper of Promiscuity is handled in the next book considering what all happened to him at the hands of the Hunter. And the same for poor Aeron, Keeper of Wrath. I felt a lot of these warriors and demons should have played more of a part, I missed them and hope to find them again in the next book."
"Okay - I liked this better than Book 3 - which yes, I read out of order. Anyway, I loved Anya's sassiness. It was a well suited foil to Lucien's seriousness. Certainly we can understand why Death might be a bit serious - he does escort souls to the Underworld or to Heaven. Still, Anya helps Lucien learn to lighten up a bit, to want something for himself, and to fight for the right to love her. Putting the Goddess of Anarchy together with Death makes for an entertaining read and a great look how even those that appear completely opposite on the surface can find kindred spirits underneath.
"Ok so I just finished this one, and while I liked it more than book 1, I disliked the book because of Anya. She is possibly the worst written "heroine" in the history of paranormal romance books. She is so fricken annoying and every line out of her mouth sounds as if it were written by a 4th grader. The Flowers, lover, sweetcakes and whatever else she called Lucien got annoying REALLY fast. The scene in the beginning (in the club) was the worst scene I think I have ever read in a book involving the lead hero/heroine. I dont know what Gena was thinking when she created Anya. While she wanted to make her a strong, sarcastic, cheeky heroine, she just made her desperate, annoying, dim-witted, and weak. I think I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard for hours over reading another book where Anya was the star.
Plus sides of the book: You got some Paris (haha) but have to wait until pigs fly till he gets his own story. All the other cookie cutter tormented soul heros come first."
