The Darkest Night	Customer Rating:
I really liked The Darkest Night. Gena Showalter's writing keeps you hooked and the characters are likeable and interesting. The plot is interesting and the story is well written. I am interested in the other books in this series and will be reading them as well.

Good Paranormal Romance

Customer Rating:

I have to say that at first I say the cover and thought that it would be just a cheesy romance novel, the kind I don't read. After looking at it for a while, I picked it up and read the back. Sounded interesting, girl with problem of hearing voices in her head meets guy with demons of his own. OK, I'll give it a try. Ashlyn has the ability to hear conversations from the past in whatever area they took place in if she is in that area. Maddox is an ancient warrior that opened Pandora's box and for his punishment, he has to carry around one of the demons from the box. Ashlyn learns of monks that may be able to help her so she goes and hunts down Maddox and the other warriors. In the mean time, the group that has set out to destroy all of the immortals is hunting them down and trying to find Pandora's Box, which disappeared after it was opened. It is a good read. The story flowed really well and made sense in that paranormal way. I would recommend it to anyone that like this type of book and say "Don't let the cover stop you from reading it."

RHe Darkest Night	Customer Rating:
I loved this book, it kept me going. I started on a friday and finished on sunday. I just could not put it down. If it were not for the need of sleep and my nephews I would have finished it saturday.

blah!

Customer Rating:

Really not that good at all. The heroine is annoying, the hero is obnoxious and cromagnum, and the action was ridiculous. What really turned my off was the amount of violence and terrorism against women there is in this book. the reader is supposed to believe that intense horniness is supposed to over ride domestic violence. Cause that's what you call threatening women with their lives, kidnapping, and the threat of rape and torture if you don't do what your captors say. I was very turned off by this story. And I found the whole premise of the heroes personification of sins a little ridiculous. If you long for the old days of gothic stories were the unwiling virgin is ransacked for her goodies by a taciturn and violent man then you might like this. otherwise don't waste your money.

Disappointing!

Customer Rating:

If you're a big fan of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood and also Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series, you'll be greatly disappointed with this series as it's definitely not of the same calibre. Which is a shame, because the premise is a great one but the book's overall content was sorely lacking. The main 'couple' spend the majority of the book snuggling in bed, and no, there isn't any sex involved (which might have kept it interesting). In fact, I don't think they even share their first kiss until more than half way through the book. So it's pretty much slow slow slow, then all of a sudden in the last few pages there's scene change after scene change as the ending is rushed and wrapped up as if she suddenly remembered she was supposed to be telling a story. The author also has an annoying way of noting who said what by simply having a spoken sentence then just sticking the name of the character who said it after the sentence, i.e. "I can't see the spirit anymore." Aeron. Confused. "Hey, we didn't even have to chain him." Paris. "This is a first." Torin. Still laughing. WTF? I thought I was reading a novel, not a play. It smacks of lazy or just ridiculousness to me. Also, during the love scenes we do witness, the characters are reduced to caveman-esque verbiage that only managed to pucker my brow and incite eye-rolls. They are my personal pet peeves with this book however and I therefore really can't in good conscious recommend this book. It's not a keeper and I won't be bothering with the rest of the series until I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to read.
