I am an avid JR Ward fan and was long before I read this book. Therefore, when I began reading about a group of cursed men living together in a large castle like a, well, brotherhood, I was a little put off. It's a good read and I liked the idea of all the men being cursed with demons, but it felt too much like a Black Dagger Brotherhood wannabe. This is my personal opinion of course! BUT! If you're as obsessed with the Black Dagger Brotherhood novels as I am...you'll probably feel the same way about The Darkest Night as me...Show Less

horrible female character
I tried to read this book and was intrigued until the female character Ashlyn was introduced. And then i immediately became disgusted. A damsel in distress is one thing (and bad enough in my opinion), but the woman in this story line comes off not only as completely helpless but also brainless and spineless. I was really hoping for a stronger female character that could hold her own next to the "Lords of the Underworld". I suppose I never got into the book enough to find out if she got any better, but I honestly had no interest to. It's a shame because the story line of the book seemed excellent, was just the character that turned me off.

Absolutely a great start to the series - You will love it!
I have to say I was a bit skeptical when I started reading this book (I had just finished the J.R. Ward BDB series recently). I did not think that I could find another series that was as good as that one.
I was so wrong!!! I fell in love with this book and the main characters from the beginning... the interactions, dialog and circumstances surrounding their love adventure are just gripping and pure excitement. You will not to put this book down and will find yourself addicted and ferociously hungry for more!5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

I'll read anything Gena!
Gena knows how to write MEN!!! HOT, tormented MEN!!! And the beautiful, feisty ladies they fall head-over-heals for. This series contains everything that consumes the immortal warriors: Violence, Death, Wrath, Passion, Pain, Disease and 6 more hotties. Not to mention it's also filled with: Passion, Heat, Humor, Bantering, Love and Great Sex. This is the order I believe the 8 books are in so far...with more to come...
The Darkest Fire (Prequel - part of Into The Dark)
The Darkest Night
The Darkest Kiss
The Darkest Pleasure
The Darkest Whisper
The Darkest Lie
The Darkest Prison (Bonus story - part of Into The Dark)
The Darkest Passion3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Gosh this book felt soooo looonnngggg!!!!
I did not like the book. I was recommended this book so many times. I finally picked it up. What a waste. I was not intrigued with the characters, romance or story. I really did not even pay attention to the story and was so happy to have it ended.

A new plot for an old romance. . .
In a time when so many different authors choose to play on the possibilities of a vampire werewolf romance, the plot to this story was incredibly refreshing, revitalizing even. I was completely enthralled by the version of Pandora's Box presented in the first chapter of this book. The weakness of the heroine in this story was, perhaps, a bit distressing, but the strength of the hero certainly overcomes it. Another difference from other books is that the hero, in this book, instead of having his demons removed by mystical forces, learns to overcome his demon on his own. All in all, I believe a story such as this sends a more powerful message about the power of the spirit to overcome.

Wonderful!
The Lords of the Underworld series has a gripping premise, fast-paced plot, and great characters. I love the relationships between the driven angsty heroes. Good sexual tension between Ashlyn and Maddox, too. Highly recommended sexy paranormal. #1 is my favorite so far.

Just....WOW!!!
I love Gena Showalter's works...whether it is in the teen section 'oh my goth' or the romance section 'tends to be better^^'. Her works are always centered around good over-coming bad. She always tends to leave that satisfied aura around you after you read her books. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL OF HER BOOKS!!!^^

A must read
This book grabs you from the first page and does not let go of the reader until they have closed the book. I read this book in a day and found it very well done. The story line was fantastic and the book a fairy tale of itself. If you like to read than this is a must for anyone!

Hooked!
I'm hooked on a new author and a new series. I can't wait to buy the next book. The only drawback for me is the poor editing of the ebook but if you can get past the spelling and grammatical errors you will truely enjoy the story.

I Literally Devoured this Book!
Started the book on a Friday; finished it that Saturday (meaning, the VERY NEXT day). Ridiculous!!! Maddox is an excellent protagonist; Ashlyn, the consummate antagonist. Not to create a huge spoiler alert, but it's amazing reading exactly how she tames Maddox's "beast." And what she does near the end of the book to prove her love and loyalty to Maddox is absolutely astounding. Excellent start to a great series!

Temptingly Dark & Sweet
As the cover depicts this book is tempting from the beginning. A web of darkness envelopes all of the Dark Lords of the Underworld. Their Budapest stronghold high on the mountain is shrouded in mystery, the surrounding townspeople have a tendency to believe the men are fallen angels or demons depending on who you may ask. Ashlyn decides to gain help from these mysterious men on the mountain to quite the voices within her mind no matter what it takes or how much it will cost her. She is found by one of the fiercest warriors Maddox who has been cursed by the Gods for a mistake centuries old going back to the time of Pandora's Box. Maddox holds a secret within him that he longs to destroy but only by redeeming his past transgressions against the Gods to their satisfaction may he and the other Lords have the possibility of freeing themselves from their individual curses. The instant attraction sizzles between Ashlyn and Maddox to create heartbreaking conflicts and daunting decisions that will captivate and grab your interest and sustain it until the end then leave you wanting more. A perfect book for those of you who are into an edgy modern paranormal mixed with the historical undercurrents of Greek mythology with a twist only Gena Showalter can manage. The story keeps progressing and only gets better as time goes on, so keep reading her wonderfully hot contemporary writings, and be sure to enjoy the whole series and more!

Different
While this book was interesting I felt like it was lacking something. The story packed a lot of information but I felt like I didn't really know or understand the main characters (other than the obvious). Of course anyone who hears voices or gets killed every night is going to be a little traumatized but it would have been nice to see a little deeper into their feelings and reasons. I think I'm going to give the next book a try and we'll see what happens!

Love this book! it's great
I've never read anything by Ms. Showalter before, but I must say that I was intrigued just by reading the excerpt. I read the excerpt twice before I actually bought the book. When the hero and heroine meet they instantly feel something for each other, which was my only downfall for their story. Everything with them happened so fast there wasn't much buildup for them as a couple. I overlooked it though, because not only do you get the point of view from both Maddox and Ashlyn, you get the other lords as well. This definitely helps set up for other books. After reading this one.. I'm dying to read the other two. Another reason why I enjoyed this book is because it's definitely not like the typical vampire/werewolf story. The demon concept makes it unique(well at least to me) so it's not like you're reading the same thing that others have been doing. Definitely worth buying!

Loved this one!
Every woman should have a Maddox!!! I loved the idea that even though Maddox is possessed by a demon he loves and treats Ashlyn like the only woman on the planet.
