Dark and Sensual

In a remote fortress in Budapest, six immortal warriors are bound by an ancient curse none has been able to break. This curse was brought on upon them by the gods in consequence from unleashing the demons from Pandora's Box. Each warrior houses a demon. Maddox has Violence, Lucien is Death, Reyes is Pain, Torin is Disease, Paris is Promiscuity, and Aeron is Wrath. The Darkest Night is about Maddox, on top of housing his demon; the gods placed another curse on him for killing Pandora. Maddox dies every night at midnight the same way he killed Pandora- six stabs in the stomach with his sword. Reyes is the one who has to deliver the blows and Lucien takes Maddox to Hell.

Ashlyn Darrow hears voices; they swarm inside her head never giving her a moment's peace, until she is in Maddox's presence. She has lived a life with no love, parents, or touching. Ashlyn was abandoned at a Paranormal Institute by her parents who couldn't take her ability. Ashlyn has no idea who she works for and what they truly do, she is somewhat delusional. Her life changes drastically when Maddox takes her back to the fortress, there she is met with open hostility from the warriors.

Hunters are after the warriors thinking they are controlled by their demons with no trace of man. The hunters are looking for Pandora's Box to suck the demons out of the warriors. Danger follows at the warriors heels while Ashlyn and Maddox fall in love.

This is the first Gena Showalter book I have read and I loved it! What a story and so unlike Feehan's Carpathian novels or Moning's and Wolff's highlander series. It was a nice change; I cannot wait for The Darkest Kiss to come in the mail. Gena Showalter produced this trilogy pretty fast. What I wonder though is, since there are 6 warriors why are there only three books? Why not makes a book for each warrior? Maddox, Lucien, and Reyes have their own books, but what about Torin, Paris, and Aeron? There is an e-book by Gena Showalter called the Darkest Fire; I've heard it's a prequel to the trilogy, but that's all I know.

I highly recommend this book; it has the right amount of action, romance, and suspense.

HOLY MOLY!!! you want paranormal romance, this is the series! Can't wait for more!

HOLY MOLY!!! This is a fantastic series. I read all 3 with in 5 days. This series keeps you nose in it til you done, then it makes you want to read the next. The story behind the series is well thought out. This is my first time reading Paranormal romance and I hope I can find ones just as good as these.

Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I won't rehash the plot - as it's already been done.

I liked this book a lot. The chemistry between Ashlyn and Maddox was there right from the beginning. He was dark, tortured and super sexy. She had a bit of a dark past herself and they were a good match. Their story, while complete, could have had a little bit more to it. It seemed like most of this book was setting the stage for subsequent installments of the series.

My only problem with this book was trying to keep all the Lords straight. I had to go back a few times to see who was who - and when the second set come to town, forget it!

I look forward to reading the next 2 books.
