Let’s Chat
Okay, so mostly in this book
I loved the novellas in this book. The whole reason that I bought it was
because of the Amazon Curse, seeing
as I read her Atlantis series first and fell in love, I needed to know this story
or the series....well, it just wasn’t finished.
The added bonus was that the
two Lords of the Underworld stories were great. I loved The Darkest Prison the most. It was so much about love that had
turned itself into hate because of the circumstances it began with.
But Atlas is sweet and his struggles
and then sacrifice is so moving it could bring you to tears. Add Nike a woman
with self-image issues who loves a man of perfection....well, it’s a great,
heart warming story.
The Darkest Fire, which is what I should have started this book on was sweet and loving
and was about the box, which if you’re familiar with the series, you’d know it
was created by the bones of Oppression.
But the story was more fascinating
than anything else. Though tears sprung in your eyes at both characters and you
were more than happy for them at the end, there tail isn’t really necessary for
the series, just nice.
Next up is the insiders
guide:
The interview with Kresley. Is
honestly like all the others, but the rest of the shit is honestly...great. I
don’t regret anything about this book and the money (it wasn’t really that
much) that I spent.
The interviews are funny and
full of the life of the characters, the information about each Lord and the Scrolls,
are little things that we didn’t particularly need to know, but havening them
is a bonus.
The short part of what the series
started off to be was something that made me wonder what would have happened if
it went that way, but I’m also sorta glad it didn’t.
And the glossary is at the
end of each book, so that wasn’t really all that different.
The
More
# 4.5 The
Darkest Angel (found in Heart of Darkness)
An iron-willed demon
assassin, the angel Lysander has never known lust—until he meets Bianka.
Spawned from the bloodline of Lucifer, the beautiful but deadly Harpy is
determined to lead the pure hearted Lysander into temptation....
I loved this story (it was
also the reason that I bought this book). It was....tempting, I suppose.
I loved this book of
Lysander and Bianka getting together I think that it was done so well with both
their personalities at odds and yet fitting perfectly.
You can’t help but fall in
love with both of them and wanting what the other wants. Or screaming at the
stubborn Angel when he fucks up in a way that only love would forgive.
It takes us unto a bit of
the life of the angel that so frequently visits the mansions and makes you want
to...do something with, just to make him liven up a little (but this is coming
from a person who read this book long after the Darkest Whisper so things might
be different when seeing it with fresh eyes)
Missing
Book 1; the Darkest Night
Maddox (keeper of Violence) & Ashlyn
[Goodreads]
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 a men rumoured 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.
{By the way, if you haven’t
yet read this series, and was thinking about it. you should try this one
first—hell, tell me what it’s like!}
