The Darkest Seduction (Lords of the Underworld, #9)The Darkest Seduction by Gena Showalter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In this latest entry in the Lords of the Underworld, Gena Showalter brings Paris, who is paired with the demon Sex, center-stage. If you are familiar with the Lords of the Underworld, you already know that in order to maintain both his strength and his sanity, Paris must have sex almost daily, but he is only ever able to be with a partner one time, and then is never able to feel desire for that person again. In an earlier story, we see Paris meet with Sienna, who is acting as Bait for the Hunters, the Lords mortal enemies. Just when Paris finally realizes that Sienna is the one woman he continues to desire, even after "having" her, she is killed in an attempt on Paris' life. In this story, Paris is desperately seeking to find her, even though he knows that she is dead. One of the gods, Cronus, has managed to reanimate Sienna and pair her with the demon Wrath who was formerly paired with the Lord Aeron. This story is full of twists and turns, with an ending that I didn't see coming. Suffice it to say that Paris does indeed get his happy-ever-after, but you will have to read the book to find out how it comes about. We also see the birth of Ashlyn's and Maddox's twin babies in this story and learn more about William. This was a very satisfying read.
