Blurb:

He is the keeper of Doubt and his entire world’s about to be rocked.Bound by the demon of doubt, Sabin unintentionally destroys even the most confident of lovers. So the immortal warrior spends his time on the battlefield instead of the bedroom, victory his only concern…until he meets Gwendolyn the Timid. One taste of the beautiful redhead, and he craves more.

Gwen, an immortal herself, always thought she’d fall for a kind human who wouldn’t rouse her darker side. But when Sabin frees her from prison, battling their enemies for the claim to Pandora’s box turns out to be nothing compared to the battle Sabin and Gwen will wage against love…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Thoughts:

First off I fell in love with LOTU when it first came out with The Darkest Night back in 2008. I enjoyed The Darkest Kiss #2 and The Darkest Pleasure (Loved Reyes story).


I have books up to The Darkest Surrender and was excited to get back to this series and catch up with the sexy LOTU heroes, as it as been ages since I have read them.

I was a little disappointed with The Darkest Whisper. For me I did not have any connection with Sabin and Gwen. Their characters were a bit flat. Sabin is possessed by demon “Doubt” so I really thought this book was going to have a lot of different emotions. Unfortunately there was not enough depth in the writing and could not get into his feelings.

What I loved about The Darkest Whisper was we got to see Aeron, Legion and Paris. I adore all of them and can not wait to read their stories. Up next is Aeron and his little demon friend Legion in The Darkest Passion. I am curious how she is going to handle Aeron having feelings for someone. She can be a tad possessive.
　
I am a huge fan of Gena Showalter and I look forward reading the rest of the LOTU heroes. If reading this series I highly recommend reading in order. Even though I did not enjoy this book as much as the others I would still recommend reading it because we get some insight on Aeron and Paris and get ready for their adventure.

Blurb:

From the New York Times bestselling author who brought you the Lords of the Underworld comes a dark, seductive new series featuring angels poised on the brink of destruction....   

Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless-and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions, at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he's never known before. 

Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation-or her ultimate damnation?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is almost here. Yeah!! I can not wait to read about Zacharel. I am a sucker for sexy angels.

My Pick:

Last Kiss Goodnight (Otherworld Assassin #1)

by Gena Showalter

Release Date: Nov. 27, 2012

Blurb by Goodreads

The breathtaking first novel in New York Times best selling author Gena Showalter’s new paranormal romance series, Otherworld Assassins, featuring a black ops agent who is captured and enslaved…and the beautiful deaf girl who holds the key to his salvation…

THE SWEETEST TEMPTATION…

Black ops agent Solomon Judah awakens caged and bound in a twisted zoo where otherworlders are the main attraction. Vika Lukas, the owner’s daughter, is tasked with Solo’s care and feeding. The monster inside him yearns to kill her on sight, even though she holds the key to his escape. But the human side of him realizes the beautiful deaf girl is more than she seems—she’s his.

THE ULTIMATE PRICE…

Vika endures the captives’ taunts and loathing, hoping to keep them alive even if she can’t free them. Only, Solo is different—he protects her. But as hostility turns to forbidden romance, his feelings for her will be used against him…and he’ll be put to a killer test.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:

I love how this cover fits the book description.  The cover is beautiful and a bit creepy. It is creepy with the Hero being in a cage with darkness all around him in the woods, but then the Heroine is beautiful in her bright red dress looking upon him. Last Kiss Goodnight is a spin-off from the Alien Huntress novels, featuring the black ops section of AIR. This book sounds interesting and different. I have not read the Alien Huntress Series yet, but I will be soon. I enjoy her Lords of the Underworld series.

OMG!! I have to give a big THANK YOU to  Darkest Addictions for sharing Wicked Nights as her Waiting on Wednesday.  Babe you made my day!!! I will admit I am seriously behind in LOTU series and I am only on Darkest Whisper.  I am excited Gena Showalter is writing a new series about sexy Angels known as Angels of the Dark. It is a spin off of the LOTU series. We all know the LOTU immortal warriors  are hot and the covers are yummy, but I am really loving this new cover with the heroine too. Her last book The Darkest Seduction the cover was bit different than the others since it had the Hero and  Heroine. Wicked Nights cover is truly the sexiest.  You all know I love my sexy shirtless hero  covers but add a  Angel and I am in heaven.
