Product Description:
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 men rumored 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 that 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….

- I just couldn't get into it...

This book could have been good if I didn't read the Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward first. The two series are turning out to be very very similar, and to me JR Ward did something that Gena Showalter cannot and that is make her readers fall in love with her characters.

I just could not sympathise with Maddox or Ashlyn. They annoyed me. And I couldn't follow their romance, it just seemed to happen without any real explanation and I didn't believe the chemistry between them.

Yes, I will read the next in the series to see how things develop. But I wasn't impressed with this novel.

- So much better than Black Dagger Brotherhood
When others were comparing this series to J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, I was a little scared because those books were cheesetastic and terrible. I decided to give this first one a try and liked it enough to read the other two in the series. Sure, a little cheesey, but in a good way. I'd recommended them for a fun/sexy read.

I read quite a few paranormal romance series and needed a new author. This series kept popping up as a recommended series based on my previous purchases at Amazon. The covers were cool and so I went to the author's home page to check her out - and liked what she had to say about writing the books. So I ordered all three books.

If you like to read paranormal romance that borders on a little "unrealistic" or say a little less urban fantasy and more pure paranormal fantasy -- then this series may be for you. I myself waited several months before finally buying this series because I knew that I probably wasn't going to go for the whole premise of a group of warriors having to live with demons inside of themselves because they opened pandora's box. And I didn't.

I never really felt invested in the romance between the two characters in The Darkest Night because I just had a hard time swallowing ... Read More

- Some Plot Holes...
This is a paranormal romance focusing on the immortal warriors of the gods who felt slighted when the gods chose Pandora to guard the box of evil instead of one of the other warriors. Thinking to prove Pandora an incompetent woman the warriors opened the box and let the demons loose on the world. The gods punished the warriors by making each of them bear one of the demons set loose from the box. I thought that it was an interesting (and feminist) prospective to the old Pandora's box story.

The first novel follows Maddox who bears the demon Violence. Maddox carries a second curse in addition to Violence. Since he slaughtered Pandora in his first demon rage the gods cursed him to die every night at midnight in the same way that he killed her.

The other main character is a woman named Ashlyn who has heard voices for all of her life. She can hear all of the conversations that have taken ... Read More
