Review:This is yet another amazing book by Gena! I couldn't put it down!!!! It kept me interested in what was going to happen next, twists and turns at every direction! Can't wait for the next book to come out. Read more
Review:The Lords of the Underworld series is a fun, very sexy romp with lots of action. The first book (Darkest Kiss) was good, but seemed overly wordy. Darkest Pleasure and Darkest night were very good in my opinion, I loved the leads, these are my two favorite books. This book, Darkest whisper, was pretty good, 3.5/5. Although each book centers around one couple, you actually get a decent amount of intro to other characters upcoming stories (like Paris and Aeron). There's also several plot lines goi... Read more
Review:Well done Gena Showalter! Dying 2 read rest and for the rest of the angels of the dark series too. Only disappointment is not being able to buy completed bundle of lords of the underworld series. Silly 4 book bundle is a poor offering.. We want COMPLETE SETS! Read more
Review:I got one book, for free from my libary (# 3) so at that time I did not even realize these were a series. But I really enjoyed that one so I went back to start at the beginning with this book. I don't think you have to read them in order, there is enough information that I did not feel lost reading them out of order. I really liked the story of this first book, the characters were very endearing in my opinion. I hope this helps someone else enjoy a good series. Read more
Review:I've had The Darkest Lie since the day it came out but something just held me back from reading it until now. I thought The Darkest Lie was pretty good even though with the hero Gideon being possessed by the Demon of Lies, and only being able to communicate by speaking the opposite or what he really wanted to say, there was a there was a fair amount of repetition included to clarify his dialog. Pretty much every time that Gideon spoke, he or who ever he was speaking to would translate the passag... Read more
Review:I really looked forward to this series. So much so that I bought all three books. And while I did finish the first book and will read the next two, the first one left me a little...blah. I just didn't connect with the characters. I didn't understand what motivated them. Some things didn't make sense. I don't know. Maybe I was spoiled by the tormented warriors who were possesed by demons in her first series. I remember standing in the bookstore, reading the first page of the first book of... Read more
Review:I have read this book several times in the last few weeks, I enjoyed it that much. I am a high school English teacher, as well as an editor. I tend to read very critically, even when I read for pleasure. In reference to the previous comment about misspellings, the only misspelled words I saw were in the slave dialogue. The comma issue, which I noticed as well, is grammatically correct. The author inserted commas according to proper grammar. It is personal preference to add commas for pauses and ... Read more
Review:One of my very favorite books is THE MISTS OF AVALON, so naturally, I thought that this novel would be just as good. Nope. Oh, the writing is still flawless; MZB is an excellent author. The problem is the story. I found it to be lacking in depth and life. The characters were dull and unreal. They never came to life for me. Oh well. No one is perfect. I will still recommend the book to anyone who has read MISTS, because the books are sisters, but just don't expect the same magic. Read more
Review:I'm a fan of Larry Niven Jerry Pournelle collaborations. The Gripping Hand is a well thought out depiction of how an interaction with an alien species might play out. I also appreciate how alien the moties really are. Read more
Review:I know many-a Murakami fan will disagree with me here, but I find this to be the most complex of all his works. Maybe complex isn't the right word. Enigmatic is better. I can talk for hours on all the other novels, but with this one...frankly I'm stumped. It deals with love and loss, that's clear, but I'm just entirely sure what he's trying to say about it in the end. It seems as if he's almost contradicting him self in a few places. Like the Sumire, Miu, "K" triangle. For a long time I thought ... Read more
