Lords of the Underworld Collection

I stumbled upon these books about 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since! <br /><br />Gena Showalter is such an amazing author! I love how she takes a romance type of series and turns it into so much more. There is actual substance and depth to this series. A constant war is happening inside each Lord and constant war/danger going on around them. The world is wonderfully built and so engaging. I am more invested into what is actually going on in this world than what is going on in anyones bedroom. <br /><br />Though the romance can get pretty exciting, I feel those moments in the books are authentic and not forced. It feels like a natural progression in the lives of the people we are reading about. <br /><br />This is a series I will hold onto and revisit for years to come. <br /><br /><br /><br />

Book: Lords of the Underworld: The Darkest Sampler<br />Author: Gena Showalter<br />Publication Date: 4/1/2017<br />Reviewed by: Tammy Payne- Book Nook Nuts<br />My Rating: 5 Stars<br /> <br /> <br />REVIEW<br />I have read all but 2 of the books thus far in this fantastic series. However, when I read most, it was before I knew about leaving a review. <br />Today I am leaving a review for the following that were in a free bundle sampler. I can not say enough how much I enjoy these Lords of the Underworld. <br />The author weaves stories that hold you captive. We get paranormal mixed with mythology, and it's just fantastic. If you haven't read any of these books<br />start with the sampler. Beware the stories will pull you in and then you're captured, and you will want much more. Each Lord has their own book. However, we get others in each book, so it's like all the <br />lords in one explosive story. <br /><br />The Darkest Night - <br />Maddox is the keeper of Violence and when Ashlyn appears on their land it's all this man/demon can do not to tear the entire place including his brethren to shreds. <br />Ashlyn has a power all of her own, and it will help these two souls find peace. <br /><br />The Darkest Kiss -<br />Lucien is the keeper of Death, and the Gods have seen fit to gift him the mate who typically would be anyone's worst nightmare. Anya is the Goddess of Anarchy, and she is a hoot, to be honest. I just fell in love with her. <br />She is the light to his dark. It just works. <br /><br />The Darkest Pleasure -<br />This is Reye' story, and he is the keeper of Pain. My heart went out to this Lord and when he meets his Mate things become chaotic, to say the least. Danika has a unique gift, and these two must do all they can to keep her family safe from one of their own. Very intense story. <br /><br />The Darkest Whisper -<br />Sabin is the keeper of Doubt. Gwen bless her heart is a meek and mild female who has demons of her own. When these two meet passion explodes, and this fiery red head comes out of her shell. <br /><br />The Darkest Passion -<br />We get Aerons story in this one and what a story it is. Up until now, you will have figured out he is the most hated although it's not of his own doing. Aeron is the keeper of Wrath. Well, the heavens send in one of their own to stop this demon Olivia. However, things don't turn out that way, and she will lose her halo. <br /><br />The Darkest Lie -<br />Poor Gideon. This story gives you lies and nightmares literally. Will Gideon's demon allow him to love Scarlett though?<br /><br />This book is free on Amazon. <br /><a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/48192.Gena_Showalter" title="Gena Showalter" rel="noopener">Gena Showalter</a><br />

Book Review- The Darkest Sampler by Gena Showalter<br /><br />This sampler includes the first three or four chapters of each book. It includes every book in the series so far. Maddox’s story is first where we meet the Lords and Ashlyn. Next comes Lucien’s and Reyes. It whets your appetite as you keep learning more and more. Sabin’s story is fourth followed by Aeron’s. It shows the reader how the series is unfolding and introduces the partner of each Lord. <br />Gideon and Scarlet are next in line with an introduction of their book. Amun’s story comes next followed by Stryder’s story. All the Lords so far appear as the series continues. Paris and Sienna come next with Kane hot on their heels. Torin’s and Baden’s story round out the book.<br />This is an excellent introduction to the books. I would read the beginning chapters of each book then had to go finish the actual book before I could move on to the next. I love this series and recommend this taste to those looking for a new series to read. It gives you an introduction to each character’s story.<br />As I said each section starts each story but leaves you wanting more. I had to read more, but each one introduces the Lord of the Underworld and the one that is their match. A great start. I give it a 4 out of 5.<br />

Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series has been one of my go-to series for literally YEARS. I flippin love it, but I've gotten distracted with other books, other series, and life. It happens, ya know? I freely admit that the last two or three installments have been sitting, waiting, on my Kindle for me to get back around to them. <br /><br />Enter the Lords of the Underworld: The Darkest Sampler!
